Tolstoys Pseudonym Amie

It seems to me rather useless to spend time in reading what is unintelligible and can therefore bear no good fruit. I have never been able to understand the mania some people have for confusing their judgment by devoting themselves to mystical books which only arouse their doubts and excite their imaginations, giving them a bent for exaggeration utterly contrary to Christian simplicity. Let us rather read the epistles and the gospels. Let us not seek to penetrate the mysteries they contain, for how should we, miserable sinners that we are, presume to inquire into the awful and holy secrets of providence so long as we wear the garment of this mortal flesh which forms an impenetrable veil between us and the eternal? Let us rather confine ourselves to studying the sublime principles which our divine savior has left for our guidance here below; let us seek to conform to them and follow them, and let us be persuaded that the less we allow our feeble human minds to roam, the more pleasing it will be to God, who rejects all knowledge that does not proceed from Him; and the less we strive to search out what he has been pleased to conceal from us, the sooner will He discover it to us through His divine Spirit.

Someone please refute!

Time is a concept. Deterioration a percept. Deterioration exists outside the concept of time. Without the needlesly imposed concept of time, the past and future becomes the present?
