Follow Tangled on Wordpress

Hello, Tumblr Followers!!

In an effort to streamline my social media presence, Tumblr will no longer receive regular updates of Tangled Synapses content. It’s a tough decision, but it will simply work out better for me if I focus my efforts on my other two accounts.

If you like what you see here, please, come follow TS on Twitter or Wordpress.

I’ll leave what’s been posted here as an archive, and I’ll be back every now and then to keep the account active with likes and reblogs. But, regular updates will be featured at the social media profiles above.

Thanks, and do keep in touch!

“…Recall to your mind all that you have passed through and all that you have been able to endure; and that the story of your life will soon come to an end, and your duty will be accomplished. Recall, too, all the beautiful things you have seen and how many pleasures and pains you have seen through, how many honors you have turned away from, and how much unkindness you have repaid with kindness.”

The Essential Marcus Aurelius (5.31)

“Remember that the ruling part of the self becomes unconquerable when it collects itself and is contented with itself, doing nothing it does not will, even if the stand it takes is unreasonable. How much more, then, when it judges with reason and considers all sides of a matter? Thus the mind which is free from disturbance is a citadel of refuge, for humans have nothing stronger in which they can find refuge and remain uncaptured. Whoever has not seen this is ignorant; whoever has seen this and does not seek refuge is doomed.”

The Essential Marcus Aurelius (8.48)

Quotes and Excerpts

Hello Tumblr Followers!

Just wanted to drop a line in regards to the content of quotes and excerpts you’ll see here in the near future.

As you all know, Tangled Synapses is just one title in the collection I’m selling on Amazon.com for Kindle right now. The next round of quotes and excerpts will come from the final title in the text, The State Dinner, a novel.

Here is a short synopsis originally posted at the Tangled Synapses official website:

"In the novel The State Dinner, the author explores the life of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, who was assassinated fifty years ago on November 22, 1963. Zeus, the former Almighty god of Mount Olympus, now the Almighty god of the Cocuy Mountain, situated in the South American Andes, fathered two heroes: JFK and Hector.

This is the tale of the two hero brothers who met only once on December 17, 1961, during the president's state visit to South America."

Kant cleared the [empiricist/rationalist philosophical] dispute and said that reason without experience is an illusion, while experience alone without reason is subjective. ‘Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind,’ he used to say.

"“See, you want to have total control over everything that surrounds you and in the process you miss the fun of life. I mean, in your quest for achieving perfection and excellence what you do is to cause more harm than good.”

“If this is the case, it may be unintentional, though,” I replied.

“It does not matter.  The point is that in your relentless search for perfection, for achievement, for excellence, for achieving transcendence, you certainly have reached levels that no other civilization was able to, and probably never will.  The question is at what cost?” he replied."

For Sophie I had a tree house built similar to the one I had in Leavenworth. She loved it, and she spent inordinate amounts of time in her tree house. As she was studying at home, I decided to recruit five other children her age to attend classes with her and to play. I sent Jenny to recruit five kids, three boys and two girls about Sophie’s age. The only condition was that the kids were from different races, so Little Sophie could become familiar with the racial makeup of America. I wanted to make sure Sophie would never have to deal with all the silliness associated with racism. I had told her since she was very little, “Sophie all humans are exactly equal in the eyes of God. Some may be taller or smaller than others, and some may have fair or dark skin, but that is all there is to it regarding racism. We are all equal.” I made sure she understood that very well.
