Clay Aiken gossip columns, ldo. And some stuff on organic chemistry for fun.

Haven't actually been reading a lot lately, other then required, but certainly have been writing. It's been interesting.

I've often thought about the benefits of taking up Alchemy for a hobby to see if I can make the big breakthrough in it,, but I figure many more people, much more intelligent than me have probably experimented their whole lives and not managed to succeed...

I'm sometimes amazed at myself that History and past human experience and stuff were some of my most hated subjects in High School.. Like, why would I want to know about some old grogen's life and experience, or what Sumerians used to eat off... Now I can't get enough of that stuff...

There is just so much wealth in reading books like that, you get a thrill pouring that type of knowledge into your head that some brilliant person at one stage needed to use all their entire brilliant mind to come up with, and you can just pick up a book now and learn of these huge epiphanies in one sitting...


I can't believe that there are still people out there that laugh and are like "what, I don't read books.. Who reads books?".. I don't know many of them, but occassionally you'll come across people that just don't read them.... It's like, how the hell do you learn anything outside you're own life and what television tells you..? You just miss so much by never picking up a book.

Im halfway through it,seems that I already do practice all of it, except living my own path 100%,but one message i get loud and clear from this 'omen' , is I need to do what i know i was put here to do and get on with it right now.

Diz you been to the esoteric book shop in Melbourne?

Im not sure but Alchemy from what I can gather is more about the journey into holding your intentions over to faith and then into divine timing, more than the physical outcomes being the first aim.
I belive that some changes materially require you to be 110% focused; then you change too along with the proceedure and are then 110% focused into the next section and so on until the last where by you have 110% pure faith in the material outcome.

I think I'm gonna dive back into the Henry Miller soon. Tropic of Cancer/Capricorn, The Rosy Crucifiction, etc. I love his style, not so much what he writes, but how he writes it, with so much verve and energy. If I wanted to write, and was looking for inspiration, I'd read Henry Miller to get myself into the right frame of mind.
