Okay, I Got Off the Ground, Now How Do I Run?
Strikes me that a lot of meditation courses and self-help books and psychological therapies are about moving someone from a suboptimal place to a baseline.
But what next?
I’m looking for a course, therapy or help that takes me from normal to supernormal. I’m looking for that how-to-be-a-superperson thang.
How to run.
Then how to fly.
Thoughts?

is on page 42 of 554 of Angelmass: I know, I know - I should have read to the end of the chapter to be able to give me any chance of knowing what's going off when I pick it up again. But it's late. And I'm tired. And I'm going to go to bed now. Nighty-night.

is on page 790 of 1045 of Tolstoy: Only another couple of hundred pages to go and Tolstoy is fine (for). I don't guess I enjoy seeing the decline of people.

Now that, my friends, is a marvellous book! The guy who wrote this must be quite the philosopher himself to have done this. I mean, heck, there were even times when I almost understood what he was talking about! Dang, but I wish I had a better brain a ...more |

This is the 5th of a box set of Brian Weiss books that I got for Christmas. The first one was great. The middle three were very good and this one is the best. I feel more enlightened now. And happier. |

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”

“You are this, which does not satisfy, so you want to be that. If there were an understanding of this, would that come into being? Because you do not understand this, you create that, hoping through that to understand or to escape from this.”

“I believe that Gandhi’s views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything you believe is evil.”

Hallelujah! The floodgates have opened, the constipation is over, the words have flown their coop! I have written my first short story since my schooldays and I feels good! ok, it's probably quite short - 8 pages x 23 lines x 7.5 words per line = about 1380 words, but that's not the point - I have written - yay!It just came to me while I was reading 102 Ways to Write a Novel: Indispensable Advice for the Writer of Fiction that I know all sorts of things about how a story shouldn't be, so why not just write like that deliberately, in a jokey, kind of self-depreciating manner, without worrying how it comes out, and then at the end of the story I can just, kinda demonstrate that I do know what I'm doing (hopefully); so I did just that.
I sat down at 6am this morning and started writing and it flowed really easily, once I'd decided not to worry how bad it might be; in fact that was the point: to make it bad and break all the rules. Then as I was walking to work, the rest of the story just came to me, and then (naughtily) wrote it down when I was supposed to be working.
I'm really happy now. Wheee!
Hello, Robert! Thanks for adding me as a friend! Ahh, the library. My favorite place as a kid. And now you're a Goodreads Librarian! Very fitting!
