tentatively joining a book club

[temporaryreality]

dfr1973 (https://dfr1973.dreamwidth.org) started up a book club to read/discuss William Walker Atkinson's books and because he was associated with Charles Godfrey Leland, I thought to "append" my own thoughts to their main conversation.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I started Leland's "Mystic Will" but didn't finish the course of study. Yes, sign of a systemic problem, so much so that I harbor the thought that it's a bad idea to "join" this book club, even in my loosely defined notion of joining. I don't really need to start new projects that'll just peter out. Then again, a bit of accountability is a good thing and maybe I can use this loose connection to give a little fuel to my flagging practice.

This is fundamental (to accomplishing much of anything) and fundamentally related to a direction I want to take in the near future. Not to mention that I have numerous things I'm trying to accomplish and need to cultivate continuity and discipline.

Will

Ya know, if you were really good at willpower and discipline, then you wouldn't even think to pick up that book. You'll notice I started with memory.

haha, ain't that the truth!

I'm certainly persistent in some areas, not so much in others. Worthy of exploration, as I'll no doubt do on this spur-of-the-moment journal.
