I didn't wander down that mental path intentionally at first - I felt
the lucidity yawning wide. What I saw what just some glimpse of
continuously returning to core themes in the book in a way that would
be evocative of the common kundalini ongoing awakening experiences of
work & bliss.

... Like first getting to 'chew' on some topic for awhile is equivalent
to piercing a chakra,

and then there's a kind of a meadow experience... a flush, a bliss, a
Shaktipat charge clearing out, meditations etc.... 

after which we return back to another heady topic, as the snake
continues onward...

and then another flush, relief, release, phew...

Don't remember anymore, and it was too long ago too. The industry &
technology has greatly morphed. If I were to look into software now,
I'd see only new-to-me IDEs and platforms. Still, you mentioned about
you & the editor's font limitations. What software does your editor
like & use?

Curious too - can you creatively (go inside, inner discernment stuff)
find an instance (in a book you've read, or a site you've seen) where
you saw a groovy text box that you liked a lot? No reason to invent the
wheel, eh? If I were to send you samples, that's where I'd start - I'd
flip through my hard-copy library and see if any jump out at me.

I haven't edited yet. That's too big a bite of the elephant for me. I
am able to form themes and put material in it's 'spiritual circle of
friends'. I'm kinestically sensing the relationships....... hmmmm...
Visually I am over-registered. Auditory too. Coolness! I just figured
out I am using a felt-sense, like holding a chi ball when I'm working
with the energy in the archived text! That's a very neat sensation to
acknowledge and own up to. 

I totally get the two versions too of mashing and tripping. In my
undergraduate days I was the person people went to on campus when they
wanted something different from their altered experiences. They'd come
in 2 major types - bored and uninspired, or over-sensitive (newbies or
had encountered difficulties). Together we'd go at it again, with me at
the healm, and I'd teach them how to flow and manage in the wide-open
energy streams. I felt/feel like a bridge sometimes, like all these
people needed was to realize that crossing over to one and infinity
realms was easy if you get a sense of the crossing back.

They're gorgeous. May I give my impressions? I feel immediately partial
to the 2nd one best - I feel like the elementals are more present to me
here than at the first. The first one felt mostly airy, the 2nd one
gave me a major earth/metal/water hit.
