I certainly have no trouble with synchronicity or sleep at present, but it made me realize just how prevalent these sleep hypnosis programs are on various podcast sites, and just how much people these days have problems going to sleep at night, or whenever they need to go to sleep.
When I think of hypnosis, I think of stage magicians making people dance like chickens, and thinking just how genuine the so called "hypnosis"really is?
'The Good Soldier'by Ford Madox Fordis one of the 1001 books I'm told I have to readbefore I die and is where I am up to in chronological order of working my way through the book.
I was just going to skip over it and read 'RashΕmon'instead, but then I heard a lot of arguments as to whether Ford Madox Fordwas a great author or just a bad author for having written'The Good Soldier', so had to read it for myself to decide.
"Fordemploys the device of the unreliable narratorto great effect, as the main character gradually reveals a version of events that is quite different from what the introduction leads the reader to believe. The novel was loosely based on two incidents of adultery and on Ford's messy personal life, specifically "the agonies Ford went through with his wife and his mistress in the six preceding years."
The novel'soriginal title was The Saddest Story, but after the onset of World War I, the publishers asked Ford for a new title. Ford suggested (sarcastically) The Good Soldier, and the name stuck."
I think there are many unreliable narrators when you read most books (or blogs:-)these days, as who really could be a reliable narrator when writing a book(or blog), whether you are trying to be, or not?
When this TED podcastepisode dropped onto my Apple Podcast playlist and I saw that Michael had written "What if UFOs, fairy lore, angels, demons, and entity encounters are not separate phenomena, but different masks worn by the same underlying intelligence?", I almost didn't bother giving this episode a listen.
If I'm on the fence about aliens, I'm going to really need convincing about fairy encounters.
I started by listening to the Apple Podcast of the episode and then switched to watching the rest on You Tube.
I guess what really stunned me was at the end of the interview when Patrick said to Michael that he wished more people would read his fiction novels, especially 'TheSavoy Truffle', which he said was more or less an autobiography.
The funny thing was I just happened to be eating a packet of Truffle & Olive Oilflavoured potato chips at the time, like these ones pictured above, a flavour I rarely eat.
"Every year, people look forward to New Year’s Eve to establish their New Year’s Resolutions, which, of course, rarely, if ever, come to pass. But what of the last precious moments of the year already passed? Tick Tock Dayurges us to make the most of this time to complete those tasks that can be done in that time and further reminds us just how much can be done in a short amount of time if you truly urge yourself forward. Though it isn’t an official public holiday, Tick Tock Day has become a symbolic moment of reflection for many. It encourages individuals to pause, review their achievements, and make space for new beginnings. Over time, the day has grown in popularity on social media and productivity blogs, reminding everyone that even the smallest completed task can make the transition into a new year feel more fulfilling."
I'm not into Tik Tok videos, I prefer You Tubes, when they aren't full of ads that is.
