1.1. I will make trips into the City, & get  inter-library loans--& a Novel of criminology of dark heart of HK, Tokyo, Seoul--Pusan, South Korea (from a "historical" review), since Silla, Kogyureo, Paekche, & Yamato-Fujiwara ^ with Tang Dynasties([pass 2,000 years ago) & legacy of these wars + still prevails in terms of millennial eschatological foresight of Domination of "Ghost" of Empires which can be healed from the  great wounds & scars (through a Ancient, Classical--Primordial Faith which can never be written down, as Tribal-Common Kin Folk Law) even to the present day.

 

2.1 William Jame's essays on--"Multi-Verse" + presents His conception & ontology of Modern "Religious Belief"--& Orientalist Psychology (Buddhist)--& second  to intermesh post WWII+++Korean+ Vietnam War to the present day of combatting International Slavery Trade & Corruption + Narcotics.This sequential order of thinking & narrative  will be contextualized for "Late Modern" Period of West + Neo-Classical Buddhism + Korean Ecumenical + Interfaith Theology--

 

3.1 Whether just or unjust, the burden of history which can resolve from the disbelief & skepticism--which from reading NYT, WSJ, & Only++the Very Best Academic Journals--which I find resourceful enough to frame these issues & serious concerns as historic-critique reader-and meta-analytic philosophy + liminology of Easter Tradition.
