I read about this book--
--in The Secret of Secrets (by Dan Brown) and thought I should give it a go. xx + 182 = 202 pages.
Day 1 (DDRD 2,894), October 3, 2025
Read to page 34. Very easy (and interesting) read...and little pages, too, so this one won't take long.
Day 2 (DDRD 2,895), October 4, 2025
Read to page 75 100 130.
I'm meeting up with my friend Craig to talk about The Secret of Secrets. I'm going to ask him what he thinks about the stuff in this book. Craig is a non-religious...maybe even an ANTI-religious guy...so I'm expecting that he'll classify these experiences as hallucinations or delusions. My mind turns in that direction as well, but what's puzzling here is the common notes in the experiences. How can that be explained away? News as it happens.
Day 3 (DDRD 2,896), October 5, 2025
Read to page 182, The End.
We get around to isolation tanks and John Lily (huzzah!), culminating in this statement: "Isolation, therefore, may very well be, along with hallucinatory drugs and a close call with death, one of several ways of entering new realms of consciousness." (167) I had a feeling that we would get here at some point.
