some books
that probably aren't in the local library but if requested they could be
Four books to take one away from politics to examine existence, what we are all doing here, what it might be for.
Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness
“If you leaf through this book, you will see a lot of diagrams, and you may have the impression that this is a technical or even scientific book. Well, don’t worry about that. I myself am a fairly stupid fellow who could not learn any mathematics at all. In fact, my brush with academia was a rather short one: I was expelled from the kindergarten at the age of four for some alleged subversive activities and have never managed to resume normal studies since, not to mention graduating from anyplace. So my mind has remained blank and unspoiled by higher learning.”
Thinking and Destiny
Very long. You, me, just about everyone human, is a Doer in the body (there is also a Thinker and a Knower), but only 1/12 of that Doer… because of how difficult things are down here. There’s not to reason why, there’s but to do, then die. How karma works.
Brotherhood of the Afflicted
https://www.amazon.com/Brotherhood-Afflicted-clif-high/dp/B0DY9VNRS3/
Fiction set in 2030 based on predictive linguistic models. Basically, the Cathari, the Good Christians, about 1 million of which were killed by order of Pope Innocent, including 50,000 burned at the stake, have had their long sleep of ~700 years and are returning with new bodies, (like everyone does, reincarnation presented accepted as fact) but instead of letting themselves be burned this time they are defending themselves… retribution for the innocent.
Chronology 1: History… Fiction or Science?
https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_YcjFAV4WZ9MC
Basically, there are big red flags about the historian-accepted chronology prior to 1600s… Dense but with teasers like Jesus was probably 1132 - 1185 and Christianity predating Judaism, it’s a nice read… a number of conversations happened in early 2000s about this book/ideas, which is leading to a rediscovery of the Tartarian “Mongol” empire. Note that household names like Isaac Newton also questioned historically ‘given’ chronology.
