RE: Announcement! Book Published! Happiness!
That feeling of going back to a piece and feeling the "Did I really write this?" is so real! What a transcendental feeling!
I've actually wondered more than a few times if this phenomena inspired so many attributions to divine inspiration in religious texts and works of art - where does it stem from? are we truly such beings of doubt that when confronted with the best we have to offer we shy from accepting it as our own?
Thoughts for another, less joyous time - and apologies for the break in celebration ^_^
This is so special, @nobyeni, couldn't be more happy for you to not only know that this writing is not just a product of your mind, but also now a physical copy of your best!!
Ahh, so cool! <3
Nice thought about divine inspiration. Reminds me of the Bicameral Mind theory that says our early ancestors heard their own thoughts as the voice of some godly guide to life. Back then, we surely were less doubtful than today. Even Socrates used to say an entity followed him around giving him advice about life!
Gave him advice about life, and was used as testimony on why his life should be taken away from him - maybe he needed another Dæmon for his other shoulder to tell him he should let his friends bribe the judges. =-)p
Do you think Plato looked over his Socrates and saw the words of his teacher springing from his pen rather than his own?
Meanwhile and somewhat unrelated but for relative era, how did we not preserve a single full song from Sappho?! Dæmons forgive us, we know not what we do.
