READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that Sapiens "lost control" over plants and animals (post-Agricultural Revoluion, 12K-8K BC), and thereafter began to ascribe power to heal to the gods.  Genesis is a prime example.  Greek fertility godess, another.  Sapiens perceived of the situation as a contract between them and the gods:  in exchange for a lifetime of fecundity, a lifetime of devotion.

Makes sense to me that that's what happened.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says I need to be consistent, but not annoying; check in weekly with the publisher; offer to re-write the article; ask if there's anything else I can do; remind him/her that other publications are considering pieces on this subject.

Read for 1+ page in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls feeling like a circus bear in a cage (as a candidate for the Dem Pres Nomination)..... he felt trapped which he disliked, but he also realized that he was really on the path to governance, which fit into his dreams/plans.  So he played cards when he was alone.  (This probably means that he played Solitaire)

Read for 1+ page in WORKING WITH ONENESS by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee.  He says that the Oneness is waiting for us to ask him to help him redeem his world.  (What?)

I am 70+ years old, and during my 7 decades here on Earth, I have worshipped and attempted to communicate directly with God - the Mormon one, at first, and then later, the entity I call "Creator-God."  At no time that I can clearly recall did I perceive an answer to my calls for connection and help from my God.  I would often look around and attempted to console myself by saying things like "Nature is God's answer," and "No one gets to talk directly to God, like humans talk to each other," and other such explanations for God's silence.  And then life would get in the way, and I'd go about living for another hour/day/week/month/year/decade.

At any rate, here is yet another human being (Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee) who wrote this book (WORKING WITH ONENESS), attempting to explain what's going on with the people of Earth.  He has painted a picture of at least 3 groups of beings:  1)  God(s), 2) Intermediaries answering God's call, and 3)  Remaining humanity.  He also describes an urgency of the Intermediaries who are called by God to help God redeem his world.  I'm not sure what that means in Vaughan-Lee's mind, but it certainly sounds a lot like the Mormon Plan of Salvation, and/or other organized religions' ideas about what's going on here.

*spiritual sigh*

This merits further contemplation; I hope I don't let life get in the way too much; at the very least, my expectation is to continue reading in this book.

Read for 1+ page in THE PERSIAN BOY by Mary Renault.
