- My Theory of Everything (ToE) - linking my thoughts about the science of our minds (including free-will, emotions, belief in love & God / 'The Force') to magnetism, quantum physics, gravity, space & time etc.
and (in due course),- Love Actually - my story (when I eventually write it) of strange "coincidences" (or otherwise?) that led to quite a bit of what I've written on this site.
For more stuff on the mind, here's a few things I've found interesting or useful:
Personal development - http://www.landmarkworldwide.com/the-landmark-forum
- I highly recommend this course to anyone / everyone (if you can manage to overlook the American buzzwords & marketing). Actually they ought to do it in all high schools. It applies fairly standard psychology in an intense environment that helps you challenge your limiting self-beliefs. You will learn many things, but not least how to truly love others, starting with yourself. And they can help you to free your life from the constraints & misguided "lessons" of the past, or goals that are forever in the future, and instead decide what sort of person you want to BE, so you can then simply start being that authentic person, living a life of passion and integrity.
The power of belief I saw a TV program about this on Netflix (on 8 July 2016), and it turns out to be very similar to my ToE! So there you go - without being religious or naturally inclined to the mystic, through logical thinking, science & imagination I seem to have independently reached broadly the same conclusions as every other religion and new age philosophy - so I must be right!
Intimate relationships & love - http://passionatemarriage.com/ - difficult reading but insightful use of sex as a window on wider relationship issues & marital conflict as a driver of personal growth.
Yes, I know it's a short reading list above - I don't read many books as my mind wanders off too much (or it could be my aphantasia). Anyway, you should beware of too much reading (TV of the early 20th Century):
Some more Einstein quotes, much of it in common with my view on life:
But I still think the messages of how to live a good life are more important than the messenger / "Him", and it turns out I actually share the religions of past teachers:
