Feeding My Ignorance -- Library

Another volume about the Rome of Cicero.

Another complete change - this is more of an "academic" book reporting on research - but, at the same time, exploring a topic that for most people is undoubtedly not "normal". I'm interested to learn how the writing here meshes with, for example, the ideas of morphic fields. What is - to me - certain - is that this is a subject that is currently undecidable - I don't know how "real" the reports in this book is and - to a certain extent - no one can. One must trust that the authors are correctly describing their own experiences - experiences that are, by definition, subjective and not really measurable in any scientific sense.

Of course, that is to a certain extent the whole point - these experiences are extending into the unknown - examining phenomena that most people have not themselves had any direct experience of and therefore have nothing in their own personal worldview to compare them with. This is always a difficulty - it is so with relatively banal and common things - if you do not have your own personal experience of it then how do you 'understand' it - and it is even more so when dealing with a "mystery" like consciousness - whether simply the fact that we are "conscious" or, as in this set of essays, exploring how our consciousness if - perhaps - separate from our "physical" body.

Certainly food for thought.

Inspired by a visit to Rome - this is a good read.

The full title is "Winning Anywhere - the Power of 'See': The N-E-M-E Way". Dibyendu De, the author, is one of my connections on LinkedIn - and never fails to impress me with his insights. Could be confirmation bias at work here, but never mind!
