Nietzsche also writes on this in his Ecce Homo and elsewhere. It is one of the most beautiful and profound processes in human history; how grateful we can be for such as you, K. and others who fall under the spell of daemonic guidance and begin to lead what Schopenhauer and James both call "the led life".SM Kovalinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137642942538595560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-44168470525427890292008-05-21T09:16:00.000+01:002008-05-21T09:16:00.000+01:00I think Woodsprite is right!(something is going on...I think <B>Woodsprite</B> is right!<BR/>(something is going on here, I keep agreeing with you!)<BR/><BR/><B>Arthur Koestler</B> is credited with first using the term "<B><I>Library Angel</I></B>" to describe a coincidence where a combination of synchrondipity and intuition guides one towards exceedingly relevant books or source references.<BR/><BR/>Arthur Schopenhauer and Colin Wilson have also written extensively on this literary guardian and mine, over 37 years, has directed me to over 4000 disparate and seemingly unrelated books which now sit in my back bedroom/library interconnected in Quantum Entanglements of their own through ITLAD.<BR/><BR/>And that's just the books I've bought, never mind ones I've read and not kept.<BR/><BR/>I would, of course, assert this phenomenon to be more evidence towards one universal consciousness, an Akashic Library if you will!<BR/><BR/>*smile*Karl Le Marcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402028443489182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-12460207221863778232008-05-21T08:47:00.000+01:002008-05-21T08:47:00.000+01:00Tony this post completely reflects what I am feeli...Tony this post completely reflects what I am feeling at the moment. I am a reading addict (I'm famous for it!). I must have read thousands of books over my lifetime. Sometimes, over and above the quality of the writing, some books (and indeed films, paintings, music and TV programmes) have the tingle factor that tells you they mean something significant. The ideas and images resonate over time. Having just discovered ITLAD, so many of the tingly things suddenly become clear to me as linked together. <BR/><BR/>It's exciting isn't it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-36473502475313257582008-05-20T16:57:00.000+01:002008-05-20T16:57:00.000+01:00Tony, I recall telling you when we met up in Londo...Tony, <BR/><BR/>I recall telling you when we met up in London about my experiences at university. It seemed when ever my back was against the wall and i was rushing to get an essay finished i would pick up cerain books up at random and somehow find (ridiculously easily and very quickly) helpfull material to support my arguments. The number of times this happened seriously reinforced my rather cocky belief that everything would indeed work out just fine, which it did! <BR/><BR/>There is definately a reflection of recycled culture within film and books where information is used and re-used in such a way. <BR/><BR/>I know EXACLTY how this feels though and it's quite a strange phenomenon.Hurlyburlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991008325876909831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-10829041758210558412008-05-20T16:37:00.000+01:002008-05-20T16:37:00.000+01:00Tony: Thank You for sharing this with the blog.You...<B>Tony</B>: Thank You for sharing this with the blog.<BR/><BR/>You know, from our own brand of pub lolling and philosophy that I see much in your story reflected in that of my own.<BR/><BR/>(That 'look' you get in the eyes of your friends with whom you try and explain your theories???
