Essay - I Am the River, and the River Is Me

Thine [Lord-God] to revive a ruined country, to parcel-out the forfeited lands anew, men that are bound in darkness, restoring to freedom and to light. This essay entirely revolves around its false-premise, “I am the river, and the river is me”. A brief paragraph or two in this mammoth 7,000+ word apologetic deals with the mere figurative meaning attached to the proposition. The ramifications inherent in the literal-meaning (as it is commonly understood) just keeps on diffusing itself out, leading the reader from first-principles to social-consequences and the purpose of human-existence.
