I never implied that the Catholic equivalent of Tolstoy in your analogy was flawed or deserving of mockery to begin with, I was simply describing an element of their interactions with other board members

The Subtle body is a term that is used throughout Hindu, B*ddhist and Tantric thought but is most commonly associated with Vedanta, Guenon uses it the Vedantic sense. The term occurs throughout the Upanishads which is where Vedanta gets it from. The subtle body is considered to be the an aggregate which includes both the mind and intellect and which exists on the subtle plane of manifestation, it is considered to be the main interface through which the Self/Atma interacts with the body/brain. The Atma is held to observe/witness the subtle body and illuminate its actions, this causes the subtle body to be mistaken for the Self in the same way that one might mistake a reflection of oneself in a mirror for one's true self. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad describes this concept at several points such as ""Which is the self?" "This purusha which is identified with the intellect (vijnanamaya) and is in the midst of the organs, the self— indulgent light within the heart (intellect)." - (4:3:7). At death the subtle body is held to depart from the body and transmigrates to another one befitting one's actions/karma etc. A rough equivalent of the subtle body would be the skandhas in B*ddhism, Vedantic thinkers like Shankara use the term to refer to the skandhas in their writings such as when they write that the B*ddhists deny the existence of a Self other than the subtle body (by which he means they only accept the existence of the non-eternal skandhas).

I am interested in books that detail the evidence pointing to the involvement of the Israeli intelligence service Mossad in the 9/11 attacks. I am planning to order and read through a bunch of them. This thread is especially pertinent in the wake of the FOIA release of the photos taken by the dancing Israelis of eachother on top of the parking garage where they had set up to film the attack beforehand.

Here's what I have found so far, if anyone knows of any other books that do a good job of covering this I'd welcome recommendations.

The Star and the Sword by Wayne Madsen
Made in Israel by Victor Thorn

the star and the sword looks like the better of the two

>This book, for the first time, suggests that both Israel and Saudi Arabia were intimately involved in planning and carrying out the 9/11 attack on the United States. Both countries, while seemingly enemies, have been longtime secret allies. They share a number of common enemies, including Iran, Shi'a Islam, pan-Arab nationalism, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Their intelligence chiefs often meet and conspire in utmost secrecy. The Saudis and Israelis had the motive and the means to cooperate in launching a "false flag" terrorist attack on the United States in order to plunge America into endless conflicts to bolster the positions of Israel and Saudi Arabia. This book tells that story.
