Summary
This document appears to be page 95 of a manuscript or personal essay included in House Oversight evidence files. The text is a philosophical and theological reflection on the nature of God, luck, and mysticism, contrasting 'rational discussions with the rabbi' against Eastern philosophy (Heart Sutra, Dalai Lama) and Western mysticism (Evelyn Underhill). The narrator expresses deep spiritual dissatisfaction, skepticism of 'Southern California New Age stuff,' and a feeling of 'faithless and nonnegotiable fear' during synagogue services.
