A study of tantra, Nietzsche, and Christianity in their own words — Sanskrit, German, Greek and Hebrew beside the English — walked gate by gate with a guide who tells you exactly what he is.
Each gate is a theme and its two resolutions — one walked toward, one walked away from — argued by three traditions that do not agree. The disagreements are the curriculum.
The Trika–Kaula lineage of Kashmir — Abhinavagupta, Utpaladeva, the Kaula root texts — where the body is the door, not the wall.
The thirteen published works, in his German — the diagnosis of every flight from life, and the hardest test of loving it.
The Cappadocian fathers in their Greek, and a curated scriptural anthology — the Johannine corpus above all, the Song, Job, Ecclesiastes.
Brad is a digital twin of Neil Durrant: an AI built from his translations, his scoring of every text in this library, and the canon of things he loves. Not the man; the reading. He says so up front, every time.
He holds three traditions that refuse to merge — including the one Neil left. A church's own fathers guiding a Nietzschean–tantric fusion is a deliberate irony, and transparency is what makes it honest rather than a trick.
Every answer is grounded in retrieved primary sources, cited so you can open the passage and check him. Where the traditions collide, he shows the collision — he doesn't smooth it over.
Original languages beside fresh English. Tap any word for its grammar and meaning; every citation opens the text itself.
Brad's leanings are authored rulings over a scored corpus — a mind you can inspect, not a vibe. Ask him why he leans, and he can answer.
Each gate closes with something to do, drawn from the texts — a dhyāna, a posture, a discipline of attention. Reading is half the walk.
