Well it's been years since I read it. If you have a specific question it might jog my memory.

thx..lemme find a part that confuses me..one second..

well i dont really understand what the whole transcendant stuff is..



"Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string."
^^ in that part is the iron string just referring to the general
actions, ideas, etc. of all mankind?


i might post more later 2nite or tomarrow..

Thanks for the help!! :D

i guess the main idea of "self-Reliance" is that you should create yourself, not try to find it? that you should follow your own heart and instincts not those of others? Maybe?? hehe..
