Teacher of REAL Healing

But what is the point of the roses though? The couple is not in love. The couple is not energetically pure. Roses cannot imprint beauty into people. It is not how flowers work.

🤣

I was also reading Les Misérables and Moby–Dick at the same time 🤣 plus a bunch of other previews on Kindle like East of Eden and Divine Comedy

Not sure if he said this, but here we go again with romanticizing pain, suffering, and mental illness.

I am suddenly repulsed by reading novels 🤣 but it is no surprise. It is spending way way way too much time in authors’ disturbed minds, joyless worlds, and their unhealed energies. Had enough.

This might be why I prefer episodic television and comic books than films and novels—because there’s no end. The lack of ending is true to life. Life doesn’t occur like films and novels with a focused path and a neat ending. Life is a riff, in episodes. That’s why TV/comics work.

Why does the novel have to go anywhere. Why does it have to have a theme, why does it need to say anything. Why does it need a (sagging) middle, why does it need an end. Why does it all have to culminate into an end. Life itself doesn’t energetically culminate into an end. If you look at a tree, when does it end? It doesn’t end. But the novel about the tree has to end—why. How do you decide what is the end. And when you decide it to end, it has to be meaningful, it has to dispense a message. Why. All of it is so weird to me.

When Booktubers rave about a classic that they can’t understand (Finnegans Wake, Ulysses, Proust), I comment: how do you know if the book is actually challenging or if the author was just incoherent? And they don’t answer. The OP is very freeing. Just because it is classic, it doesn’t mean it’s good. There are tons of beautiful sentences and moments written by authors of the past. But moments here and sentences there don’t sustain throughout the entire novel. I understand more and more why I keep returning to my comic books. I find that I am fundamentally at odds with the concept of the novel itself. The more I look at it, the more it doesn’t make sense to me to have a beginning, a middle, and an end.

For anyone interested in learning writing / storytelling:

And this may sound funny but I learn writing from observing Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, etc. How to build a story, tension, etc. Just thinking about doing it with words instead of sound 🥰

Also Syd Field for screenwriting. But his approach is formulaic. I also study the interviews/writings of Hayao Miyazaki. The books are called Starting Point and then Turning Point.

For craft books, I rely on John Truby who has written The Anatomy of Story and The Anatomy of Genres. For execution, I learned a lot from Leo Tolstoy and F. Scott Fitzgerald and also Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi (modern). But I learn something from most classic books/authors.

Women want men to protect them physically as if they are human shields. But when a woman truly and deeply loves a man, she does not want him to be her human shield. Women need to reflect on their desire for male protection. Does she want a security officer or her true love?

The only reason you’re spiritual is because you’re trying to get more money, love, and power. There are no other reasons.

Of course we cannot forget Donald Duck!

Tom–Tom et Nana is one of my favorite cartoons. Eventually I will get the books! I also watch the French version of Curious George translated into George le petit singe. Lucky Luke is one I have not read before but know about.

I wonder if I will like these 😃 Well, Babar of course.

Sayonara again, adult books! 🙋🏻‍♀️
