You have been consistent and hardworking throughout the year, so thank you very much. I'm sorry if now and then I lose my temper, but I really appreciate your dedication. I really appreciate the questions you've asked in this class. I would like to thank the school for giving me this platform and this classroom and this smart board for the past four years. Believe it or not, but I've been here for four years in this classroom. The school has been very generous with me, letting me teach whatever I want. Including the great books, including geo -strategy, including game theory, including secret history. I'll be leaving the school at the end of this week, so this is my second last class.

I was not a very good teacher, but when I'm teaching and the students are learning, I can feel them learning, I feel as though we connect back to the Monad, okay? So the most gratifying experience I have is when I teach and I see students edified by the teaching, and I see students learning, okay? That is direct connection to the Monad. When you love someone, like I love my wife, I feel connected to the Monad. When I hug my child, when I have a newborn, I hug my newborn for the first time, that's connection to the Monad.

How does this framework account for individuals who find this exact same spiritual and creative awakening through non -human subjects? For example, consider someone who grew up isolated, without supportive parents or an interest in romance, but who form a deep, profound attachment to colors, sounds, or concepts. If their intense love for painting, music, sports, or technology provides the exact same drive and beautiful imagination, can that abstract devotion serve as an equivalent path to the source?
