I did mean the “to grok is to understand fully, to understand it to know, to know is to love”. That sounds like the Rule of One, the Ra book. Esoteric bs and all. But it made me curious if that’s where the book of Ra got it.
Yup yup. But I guess you don’t know the Rule of One material, the Ra books. It’s a very popular new age esoteric material, allegedly channeled from an entity in Venus called Ra. Its philosophy seems to be at least inspired by this Grok book. The Ra material is from the 60s.
Idk man, I don’t think it is. When I first read the Ra material I said something to the same effect to basically everybody I knew and it seemed like a really novel idea to all of them 🤷♂️
To be fair most people aren’t familiar with philosophy, like 5 episodes of the good place gives people more philosophical education then the general population has normally.
100%, yeah. But still, this love understanding stuff is very popular among esoteric circles. So there must be a more direct connection than just “hippies talked about love” 🤔

Check the chain I quoted the book directly.

Stranger in a strange land was 1961 so maybe, though understanding and free love were pretty common principals at the time.
But the idea that you can only truly know what you love, and you can only love what you fully accept, is pretty specific 🤔
I think that’s been a thing for as long time or is an interesting weekend research assignment.
