I am currently reading Potocki, because my occult text mentioned him.

I am currently reading about the occult, for no reason.

Changed my mind.

I am currently reading Williams' biography, because I recently got in contact with a professor, who recommended him.

Going to stop reading.

Maybe forever.

I am currently reading Stevens, because I recently got in contact with a professor, who recommended him.

it's just different ways of improving your personality. i think it doesn't matter which way you choose, you can devote yourself to work, you can choose asceticism, you can combine work and meditation or do whatever you want. for me the main thing is to avoid stagnation, but it's still important to stop and just relax sometimes. but i choosing stagnation doesn't really matter too

What do you mean by stagnation?

None of that stuff matters, and all of it matters, but only to the individual. Forcing yourself to subscribe to what someone else deems important is where you lose.

I say to really look inside what it is that means something to you, if you can attain that then you've progressed. But if you chase other people's dreams you'll only end up feeling empty and the cycle continues.

That is sort of my point, though.

How does one know when one has truly transcended from a previously mediocre state of being? Does working in industry, academia or producing art or craft actually mean you have transcended, or is this something that can only happen through reading, meditation, diet & personal will? If so, why even work? If you genuinely want to improve yourself in any meaningful way, you should dispose of the material world & live in an apartment, practicing all of the aforementioned.

Or am I wrong?

I am currently reading the bughouse, because I recently got in contact with a professor, who would like to teach me how to compose verse like pound.

I am currently reading a history of opera, because I feel I can get a better sense of music, if I read it.

I am currently reading Nabokov's Speak Memory, because I feel I can get a better sense of his fiction, if I read his autobiography.

I am currently reading Céline's Journey, because I never have, in full.

Never mind.

I am currently reading the first volume of Pushkin's lyric, because Nabokov mentioned him, in an interview.

Looking for essays not of material-focussed socio-economics, but of exactly that which is not material-focussed.

thinking of stalling juenger 'cause he was a nazi & that is edgy
