Novel Writing Secrets If you were to decide to write a novel, so you become famous, or maybe if you only wanted to become rich, you’d have unlimited options. But your unlimited options would necessarily be constrained within common story structure. There’s basically seven story types, 14 archetypes for the good guy, 14 […]
Lucid Dreaming Archetypes
Ancient Mythology There is a key difference between mythology between how it evolved, and how it is studied. When we study or even enjoy mythology, we do so from a frame of mind of knowing it isn’t true. Of knowing this happened a long time ago, without really needing to know the environment […]
Ancient Alien Mythology
Day At The Library The other day I had a few hours to kill so I wandered down to my local library. I grabbed a random book off the shelf and sat next to the window, which had a nice view of a small lake and some ducks. The book turned out to […]
Hallucinated Evolution
Shroom Theory There’s a very interesting theory about the origins of human consciousness. Way back in the day, when primitive proto humans were just developing a sense of self awareness, it was likely long before we learned how to speak.
