Any advice?

not specifically that tome.
but previously many others that are similar.

advice?... well.. uhm..
-recognize, understand parable, allegory, analogy & metaphor in all things.
-have patience when the thought comes that there is nothing left or nothing more, give it 3 days or so.
-learn that a single 'thing' can be represented in all areas of study
-sin(e) waves, the 'word', the original
-exclude no source of knowledge
-following curiosity, but keep a guiding eye on it
-be humble
-refrain from judgment and other finalities

many more.. but those would be a good start.

Thanks anon. Which tome(s) have you followed?

>have patience when the thought comes that there is nothing left or nothing more, give it 3 days or so.

I think I understand the former, but could you explain what you mean by the latter (3 days)?

You are welcome.
Curiosity guides me.
Read and learn what is needed until the next door is opened.
Rarely cover to cover.
If text helps in gaining understanding...
it could be gained from short passages that as a whole would cover many cultures, eras and authors.
A source may good with understanding certain aspects and not so good for personal understanding of other topics.
Being open to other sources eases the personal understanding curve.
No need for a specific book or practice.
But you may find yourself coming back to an author read years previously.
And it is a good thing, it quickens one along the path.

regarding the 3 days, having covered much material... there are walls in regards to what text is available beyond a certain point.
personally in the beginning, these walls seemed an end of the journey.
but, after a few days a new perspective settles in.
it is more of helpful tip to avoid frustration.

again, best wishes and hopes for your journey.
may you always see the light along your path.

if i were to add one final thing...
it would be a paraphrase of advice repeated more often than books read through history.

do not get caught in the trappings or 'gold' that may be promised.
it is only with much effort an experimenter 'may' be released from the desire of such hollow rewards.
stay the pure path of wisdom.

You speak incredibly wise words. Thank you anon. I’m certainly cautious of the trap you have mentioned. “Chasing” something never seems to lead to good things.
