This idea needs some work. Woke up at 3am am had this planted into my head:

"Throughout billions of years (what we term as billions) there is one immortal being. This being doesn’t remember that it is immortal, or should I say, it has chosen to not remember. For when it does inevitably remember its existence, and it will do after many many lives, then it will have all knowledge (what we term the future). In the future this being will have attained all knowledge. Whether this take billions of years or not, one day it will attain all knowledge. Once all knowledge has been attained it is inevitable that time travel will be possible for this being. Once time travel for this being takes place and it goes backwards in ‘time’ then the universe it inhabits will no longer be the universe it belongs to, as the very fact of its presence and complete knowledge, and concious action, the original universe it inhabited would change, creating an alternate universe alongside the other. It could not return to its original time (forward) because the new universe it has created simply by existing in it would have altered and therefore its original ‘home’ would no longer exist. From this we can conclude that the universe we inhabit has already been completed, this being has already passed through us and altered our universe. All history is a memory of an alternate universe. Every book we read for the first time is actually being written as we read it. Everytime somebody tells you of something it is actually you telling yourself something. We live alongside the alternate universes that we have made through our ultimate return to knowledge. We forget knowledge because existence ceases to exist once we have it. We travel back and are treated like every invading alien body: We are singled out and destroyed by the people of the time. We are the gods of the past, we are the prophets that never died, we are the light that travels, we are everything, and one day (a day that has already also ‘been’ as well as is ‘yet to come’) we will remember, we will again travel, and a new universe will be born."

You'll see correlations between this and a few other posts from last year. I may have returned to the theme due to the finishing of Phillip K. Dick's Valis which talks of a similar idea. Funny that Phillip died a few months prior to my birth.

Thursday, 8th August 2013

First day in the dark for a while, closed the curtain and avoid people as much as possible. Still recovering from over indulgence on Sunday, body recovering from a number of ailments, parts of my mind still a little numb or spaced.
Read Rudolph Steiner's On Fear which made a lot of sense to me, very much in my mode of thinking, 3 split worlds Physical, Soul, Spirit, how our fear and anxieties can actually have a larger impact in the spiritual world than here in the physical.
Also finished reading the biography of Jack Kerouac. Identified with him quite a lot and by the end of it was extremely saddnened and depressed that he never managed to turn himself round or find hope again. Of course many stories and people exist like that but his story seemeed to impact me more than most, possibly because of his shyness that I relate to, or the loss of hope creating something/years of failure with the odd peak of success, or the fact that his friends remind me a lot of my own friends, or the fall into alcohol as a social blanket turning into an acceptance of loss and exchange for life.
My face is also giving me issues, I've had a rash now for a year and a half, before that I had great skin, so now going to try cutting out gluten after a friend's recommendation. Fuck wheat. Why so much wheat everywhere?
The book launch of 'The Life and Loves of Jet Tea' went well yesterday. A Q&A session with the 3 main characters, a book signing session, and some music where I played a few songs myself. Seemed to go down pretty well and got offered a gig by a promoter which is always nice.
