p. 576 Grace again---Spoiler if AtD is not yet finished

[Mark Kohut]

This e-mail is a spoiler to all who have not yet finsihed AtD..
   
  For those who remember our discovery/discussion of 'grace"......the last line, what the
  Chums flew into.............and
   
  What Lew Basnight felt one day in Chicago.......everything being as it was.......
   
  Now, A Dr. Grace appears to Hunter Penhallow in a dream and talks about the war in "outer Europe"----[where is
  this place? is it counterpointed to an "inner Europe"?].....
   
  the mass-grave-to-be---WW1-----and people 'eager to pass into it".........
   
  as in GR's theme of (partially) willing the war..................
   
  death wish as the Freudians und so on named it.........
   
  This is a vision of/from grace?..........seeing things, even the deathly future 'without exhilaration".......as they are? As it is and will be?
   
  In ATD, TRP says:........this is History, we have to accept it; we do accept it as we live our
  lives [captured in the Chums' compressed Growing-up?] and fly off into grace anyway? 
   
  Comments wanted.
