abbreviate [uh-bree-vee-eyt]

Such a very fine collection of understandings I have seen; how intertwined, how logical, accessible and seemingly complete; how comfortably in line with logic, the senses, science, religion and the poetry of ancients, and how they unite them all. How they solve problems and tame mysteries, and how, when genuinely absorbed, they bring about change: how a mind is re-wired: how consciousness evolves and educates the instincts.

But how to condense them and make them teachable, to arrange them in the linear? That is some task, one whose time, surely, has come.
