Wasn't Planned

In all likelihood, I really should be reading instead of blogging, distracting myself instead of digging in.

Although I keep telling myself books are my friends I don’t treat them as such. A simple plan now ruined by an unforeseen library trip. But these things have a neck of showing up.

Surprisingly I found books on Cinema 4D. Unsurprisingly none were found for modo.

The book that has been craving for my attention is miller’s Dark Knight Returns. Sorry Lyra, I picked you over the Cape Crusader.

And oh, if you are wondering, I did model that Mercedes SLR.

And am keeping my fingers crossed for Latiff to lose his memory about the books he borrowed me. No wait. I got a better idea. I am will connect to the infinite intelligence and command it to wipe his memory out. While I am at it I might as well take all the good stuff from his head.

February's Last Weekend

Concerning a week's end.

Nothing exciting going on. All of my time and brain was spent tidying my shelves, fixing my Lan connections and getting my external Hard Disk to work internally. It has been four days since I last saw my power cable to my external Hard Disk. I do hope she decides to turn up.

And best friend Mathi seemingly admitted himself to the hospital on Friday. Need not worry, last I looked he was as healthy as a horse but the same couldn’t be said of his car.

In a few short hours I will be in office, right now I can’t thank my other best friend enough for sending me those songs. Oddly she considers herself as a Mac person although she carries a Vaio and secretly admires the Dell. But don’t worry she’s going to get a Mac soon.

Thankfully weekends are such a bore in Singapore or else I wouldn’t have found the time to finish The Subtle Knife. I could spend an entire day raving about this book but I think it’s been done before.

The Holographic Universe

Only human beings have come to the point where they no longer know why they exist…

Before reading the Holographic Universe, the author promised to change the way I look at things. I have to say, I am a believer. This book presents theories that not only answers the paranormal but also gives us the insight on the actual creation of the universe opposed from the big bang theory.

Here some of the many points that have caught my attention.
1) The memory is not stored in a given location but is stored everywhere. A whole in every part.

2) The Mind fills in the physical holes in the eye's retina: completing eyesight with what the Mind perceives (not the eye sees) it to be; as opposed to naked reality.

3) Energy patterns leave traceable fingerprints in the holographic universe; traumatic events leave stronger residual patterns. An individual's energy pattern, angle and strength, may align itself with the remaining pattern of a previous event, thus illuminating and/or creating the observation of a ghost, UFO, an apparition of past events, places and peoples.

4) Repressed energy can result in the manifestation of poltergeist activity, appearing to be from external sources.

5) Non locality: the aspect of all reality, projected into the illusion of time and space, of separations.

6) Schizophrenia; the possibility of different souls, different persons, living in one body, as each personality contains entirely different electrical brain impulses, opposing patterns, and physiological variations, conflicting allergies, negative and positive physical traits that cannot be found in one individual.

7) Advanced meditation results in equality and replacement to entheogenic drug use in mystical experiential consciousness. The example of Ram Dass (Richard Albert) encounter with an Indian Mystic more capable of mystical experience than the strongest dosage of hallucinogenic.

8) Thought Bursts; this is an amazing idea. While all information is conveyed point-to-point, in thought bursts one obtains groups of thoughts at once time, that is increased levels of awareness. It is suggested that death experiences of entire lifetimes passing in a matter of a split second are of this nature.

This book must be experienced for its effect to be fully understood. Micheal Talbot, with this book, does exactly what he set out to do: change the way one sees oneself, and the world, forever. It is profoundly lucid, masterfully written, unapologetically challenging and revolutionary, always erudite... and just plain beautiful. You own it to yourself to pick out this masterpiece.
