What has happened with my intention to write at mornings? Has it been wiped out by malevolent circumstances? Good morning, my fresh head, would you like to make up a kind of cognitive breakfast?
Well, I certainly do not want to waste my mental energy to clarify the relationship with X and analyze his character. There are lots of other things which demand my attention.
Although I finished reading Ferguson’s book three days ago, I still haven’t said any word about it. That’s weird, especially taking into account that the book took me more than 20 hours to read. To be clear, I actually talked a little bit about this book in my video journal, but I also have to say something here as well. First of all, it seems to me that the book is an excellent example of the so-called na;ve optimism. Almost every page is dedicated to convince the reader that positive changes are occurring everywhere around the globe (especially in metaphysical area). She wants to project her believes on the entire world and claims that the key to solve all problems is spirituality, and, since Mr. Kuhn said that science changes paradigms as a dog his wool, we have to shift our brain, mind, whatever—to make everything differently and move towards the transcendental. Despite all the superficiality of the author’s thoughts, I like her. She is extremely cunning, but goals justify methods, don’t they? By the way, there was one thing that I found quite amusing. She tries to gather up people who are deeply concerned with spiritual work, without realizing that for real truth-seekers any kind of communication is always—almost always—a step back. That’s why among her respondents there are too many ‘good people,’ but no any actual man of knowledge.
