READING, WRITING

Read for 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that religions developed among Sapiens and the forces of Nature, to the point that humans blamed themselves for natural disasters; eventually the animals (ants to elephants) became silent in human thinking, and humans began to think of themselves as the central beings of existance; the God(s) and the animals were "tools" humans used to achieve their aims.  Such aims might merely be to explain what was happening on the planet.  Or perhaps to find favor and reward from imaginary gods. 

Read for 60 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says I should consider the "rules" of each publisher (e.g., we'll let you know in 3 weeks) and then follow up with them.  Also, don't pretend that other publishers are interested if they're not; I can tell one that I've submitted my piece to others (if true), and that might motivate them to reply earlier.

Read for 1 page+ in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls how he was ahead in the race for the D nomination (ahead of Hillary), but then he spread himself too thin between Texas and Ohio, and lost both; this was followed by the video of his pastor (_______) who had said, in various sermons, things like "Not God bless America.  God DAMN America" and other "unAmerican" things like that.  BO called this a "Roger Ailes fever dream."

NOTE:  Roger Ailes is now dead (2017); he was the Chairman and CEO of FOX News.

Read for 1 page+ in WORKING WITH ONENESS by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee.  He says that mystics come to an understanding that there is nothing static or separate; that every part of this existance is an illusion; that mystics are like Plato's man who leaves the cave and is often thought of as a wild man.

Read for 1 page+ in AN AMERICAN FAMILY by Jon and Michael Galluccio.  They describe how they came to be (foster) parents of a drug-addicted HIV+ baby boy in New Jersey, just before Christmas, 1995.

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

Read for 1 chapter in DEMON HAUNTED WORLD by Carl Sagan.  I'm reading this with Cecil & Tom of Cognitive Dissonance The Podcast, and they're on Chapter 9 where they discuss what Sagan wrote about therapy, and also abductions, and how you deal with what you FEEL, what you REMEMBER, and what is ultimately REAL.
