They used Geometry–to build walls in our brains.
The only way to see the Light is by tearing down one lie at a time. Those who built the roads controlled the view. Their Canon is a straight Line. The Canon of Life is the Water-way. It is the River we follow. Science knows that the limits of geometry took our true nature and thwarted our growth. We lost our true nature. Living in corrals with 90 degree angles. Add then Hegelian dialects and humanity was brought under the Laws of the Pendulum. Swept to and fro, we always ended up in the corner. Pointed in the direction we were engineered to go.
Not anymore.
