READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that societal trends include, in the last 300 years, a move away from traditonal religious beliefs, and toward secularism.  However, he adds, if we construe a "religion" to be a set of "human norms" (his term), then communism, liberalism, capitalism, Naziism are all religions to which we are "flocking" (my term) with great enthusiasm.

Read for 70 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls being on the campaign trail in Jerusalem, where he inserted a private prayer into the Jerusalem Wall; but the next day, his prayer was published in a local newspaper:  so much for "privacy," especially when you're a candidate for President.  He also recalls "forcing" some family time in Hawaii, where he reconnected with his wife & daughters.

Read for 70 seconds in WORKING WITH ONENESS by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee.  He says that as this new awareness of energy continues, both collectively and individually, we become aware of a new spectrum of energy.  If we observe past events (what he calls "crystallized" events), we are focusing on conflict resolution.  But if we simultaneously focus on future events (or "fluid" events), we can anticipate certain paths that could be dangerous, and we can avoid the pitfalls.

I like thinking about past as crystallized, and future as fluid.

Read for 70 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says "liberal" can mean different things (i.e., libertarianism, progressive, etc.); in this book, it'll mean the US sense of the term as it's used in politics.

He adds that as I read this book, I should "throw off" my "for or against" attitudes, and look at things without bias.  He says I should remove the log in my eye before complaining about the speck in my neighbor's eye.  Not a new concept, but what I will need to absorb the message he's sending about a RIGHTEOUS MIND>

Read for 1+ page in AN AMERICAN FAMILY by Jon and Michael Galluccio.

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