Actually...i want to read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
Gonna have to get another copy of zen because the print is extremely small and some of it it bled through the pages. I made the mistake of buying an old copy. I shouldve bought a newer updated copy. Oh well. __________________ "We're all born to broken people on their most honest day of living"

I recommend the Marcus Aurelius Penguin Classic edition translated by Staniforth. It's written in noble language. Maybe there is a newer edition of this translation, but I foind this one to be my favorite. I'm very particular about translations more than I am about hardcovers. I have some passages you might want to read. His thoughts are numbered and short so you can hop around and peruse at your liking. I read his incessantly while under psychosis. He might have been Plato's ideal philosopher king. I believe he just wanted to be a philosopher though, not a king. He had patience like a statue. Shoot me some lines you like of his!

This is a pretty interesting book if you want to read about someone's account of their own delusions and the different stages that he went though. It is also interesting how he was able to get released.

I'm trying to write a fight scene in my own book which is between a student and his master, but it's such an art. You don't want to be too technical, and you want to keep adrenaline high, it's a fine balance. |

Reading through Thomas Reid's Inquiry into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense and I am writing down quotes from the book to slide into a dialogue for my book. I've read through the book 3 times, but the last chapter is a SOB, because it's so technical. Here I go. Sunday I might be able to post a blog on the chapter.

Zimbardo's prison experiment brings back memories of my psychosis and how people transform when going against an individual. I wonder if Zimbardo lost face at all with he colleagues for that experiment.

Oh hell no, im not letting this gem of a thread die! RESURRECTION!
So what books have people been reading? Any books on the ol Christmas list? I'm thinking about reading something on Panpsychism. It's a philosophical theory where every particle has a fundamental aspect of consciousness, how else is consciousness possible? It's just a theory but it solves the mind body gap problem, because if it's one type of stuff with two different aspects (mental/physical) then that explains how we can use our mind to move matter, like when we lift out arms at will, or act on moral principles. I might also read Wilhem Meister Aprenticeshi. Here's what amazon says about it: Quote:

Finished my chapter on the philosopher Thomas Reid was battled extreme forms of skepticism with vigor, after 6 months of avoiding it. It honestly needs some fine tuning but there I did it. I just want to take on something more meaningful now. Never in my life have I had such trouble as i did with his work titled An Inquiry into the Human Mind, On the Princples of Common Sense. It was a shift away from Modern Philosophy, so new ways of thinking were developed that i kept on having hang ups with and giving up. It was worth it though.
