“The world around us redunds with opportunities, explodes with opportunities, which nearly all folk ignore because it would require them to violate a habit of thought”
Is this a typo? If not, I don’t think it flows very well.
Well “redund” isn’t a word without the “O” and I think it would scan better with just “redounds with opportunities” or “explodes with opportunities.” The second part isn’t really a problem in the quoted text though.
Damn it, my brain’s playing tricks on me. I know the word “redound”, I’m pretty sure I used it even, and “redund” did feel weird, but when I looked for it in a dictionary, twice, I still didn’t notice the missing “o”...

Can you explain where you suspect a typo to be?
It’s probably “redound”, it sounded weird to me to at first, but it is an English word, albeit probably not very often used at present:

I would also change the first “opportunities” to “possibilities”.
