Interesting fellow. Far more impressed with himself then he dared admit. He is reported to have prided himself overmuch on being obtuse. So the closest to cogent treatment of his work is by P.D. Ouspensky in "In Search of the Miraculous" which is still nigh incomprehensible at parts. Though it's been a while. I haven't had cause to re-read it in 17 years or so but, thumbing through my overly underlined copy now, I might give it an Evelyn Wood. Indeed it is. Interesting fellow.

I wish you better luck with this than I'd ever have, AND I just posted my answers to those 30 questions you did a few days back. Took the gun test too...

But this caffeine hangover nonsense in the meantime is thwacking me somethin' awful. I’ll be alright once I twist my schedule back around.

If I sleep late, until like 9 or so, I feel all thrown off, even if I keep to the "schedule". And I used to have such a lovely internal clock, too... I could lie down to sleep at around 10PM, telling myself "Have to be up by 7" and bingo! I'd wake up at 7. Now I say that and my body says "You mean Hong Kong time, right?"
