MENTAL CONDITIONS: Bored, impacted by trying to rearrange open browser windows. Got up to page fifteen of Franklin’s autobiography, reading up to twenty pages. Then onto Homer, Homer and Hesiod. Fifteen pages each. Feel well of myself to be so interested in what I might find dry or boring, but a vast difference between Benjamin Franklin and Tacitus or Livy.

PHYSICAL CONDITIONS: Full, more hydrated, impacted by my toe (reported to be looking better) is still sensitive, is a fair sign it is healing, and hopefully new nail is growing. Dinner is about a half hour to hour away, still somewhat full from lunch. Been drinking a lot of water with instant coffee and flavor packs.
Walked in Walker from room to the station three hallway, and half the distance of that hallway. Wheeled myself the rest of the way to the Activities Room.

Got undressed and in a gown, back I to bed.

Since I’m awake now and didn’t complete it yesterday, onto some Greek reading.

I’m not sure how I picked up on reading Homer, I know how I picked up on Hesiod, but in St Johns College, there are about fifteen authors before Homer. It seems to me, however, and perhaps I’m making an assumption, that Homer I probably picked first due to seeing it on another site as the first in the reading.

There is an actual set of volumes of Great Books of the Western World the size of Encyclopedia Brittanica (large hardcover books).

However I picked them first, it doesn’t seem to be the oldest author among the Freshman reading for SJC, and if not due to Wikipedia or the old actual volumes of GBotWW, then I’ve no idea how I chose those first.

Hesiod was recommended to me after reading Homer, particularly the Hesiod Hymns. Theogeny and Works and Days are also interesting.

In other news, since I’m awake now, might as well knock out twenty pages of one of Homers two books.

Additional detail to add, goals being worked on, etc.
Thought this may help those new to daily journals. Crowley wrote a paper on importantce of keeping a daily journal.

Had some deep thoughts I posted on Facebook. May port them here.

I closed a lot of my browser tabs open, bookmarked them before closing, and then created a handful of bookmark folders and moved them by folder subject. I have a little over fifty tabs open but most relate to education. Particularly Harvard Classics and Great Books.

Homer is a bitch to read … So vague on the points of the work, and terribly dry.

The best revenge against the rich is to be well educated. I’m not talking about a bachelor’s or master’s degree, just well read. Both ancient knowledge and contemporary knowledge.

Sometimes you gotta tell someone they’re as dry as sandpaper, and do it anyway.
I’m looking at you, Homer.
Since I’m staying in bed today, I will have plenty of time to read up to thirty pages of each of “The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin”, “The Illiad”, The Odyssey ", and “The Homeric Hymns”.
I also found the necessary books for Aeschylus - per the St Johns reading list.
Also, Per my previous posts yesterday, ASL and Morse Code today.
Latin and German can wait til another day. Due to Pimsleur a couple decades ago, I have a small head start on German.

10:30 PT.
Employers by and large are against paying a living county wage because it will force the government to not raise minimum wage but restructure the wages by employment type.

Some days I really miss Pandora and Trixie, two cats I grew attached to.
I miss Trixie’s purr when I’d pick her up, and her chartering to the birds in the bush outside of the dining room window. I miss her sleeping with me until GenEFur claimed Trixie’s turf as hers.
I miss Pandora’s variety of sounds Id pick up on, her smashing herself against my face, even when it was in my face. I miss her climbing onto my back after my shower and donning my robe, and walking to her destination as a kitty under ride. I just miss her.
I know they’re in a better place, but still.

09/04/2026.
Friday, day of Venus.
06:00 PT.
TASKS and THOUGHTS:
I found Aeschylus (may be misspelled) on Project Gutenberg, but not Archimedes. I’m going to try and find the St Johns authors for the Freshman year, and follow the other Great Books list, particularly the reading schedule the source has on one of his pages (Well Trained Mind I believe is the title of the page).
Then there is the Harvard Classics list of reading, but those will likely take more time.
It calls for the student also learning Classical Greek, German, and Latin. Reason being is some interpretations take away from the original works language, such as Faust.
I found some sites on how to write book reviews. That is another goal, under the parent Umbrella SMART Goal 01, Education, for each book read, write a review.
I can’t think of an Umbrella SMART Goal 02, membership, for the above.
What I’m doing is not to be a snob, or attention seeking, but to make up for myself on not taking my education in high school and college seriously.
I like and dislike my choice of taking unix and Linux courses at WCC, as it prepared me for making good money and opening a path for a career, only to find it a dead end when office politics was also intertwined with the money and career.
So, my being a slacker toward my early education has led me to this point. The funny thing about these goals is that a friend and I always made fun of the student housing building for Great Books students.
It seems the St Johns College Great Books program for their Freshman year (my starting point to read these and write reviews) is all Greek authors for the most part of the four levels of reading for the four grades. The second is primarily Roman, Junior American and English, and the final year focuses mostly on the Bible and early US History and Politics.

TASKS and THOUGHTS:
So. Tomorrow. (Now today)
Make some progress in reading and look tediously at Self Education pages and the Harvard Classics and the Great Books of the Western World. Hint: Start with Homer.
Be up to page thirty in The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, The Illiad, The Oddessey and Homeric Hymns. Goal 01.

Goal 03.
Do all rituals and grade exercises. No excuses. If your roommates haven’t noticed, you act a bit odd, so no excuse there, but silence would be good. Write down Air Lesson exercises in Diary.
Call your family just to say Hello, and I Love You.

Well, social media is the waste of time most of the time. Cat videos are just too entertaining.

As far as Homer goes, of the Illiad Book I, I’ve read up to Mars, and still have seven other poems to go before stopping at Book II.

But, I also need to read three other books. So the Illiad is parked for the moment. Not sure how I’m going to work with Hesiod, Homers Oddessey will read Book I, then move on to Franklin (work up to chapter thirty), and then come back to Hesiod.

Need to call family and perhaps a few friends to stop by and say hi.

Then do some meditation mantras and some rituals that don’t require me getting out of bed, as I’m feeling under the weather today.

Finally, tonight learn the numbers in ASL and Morse Code. Learn the alphabet in each tomorrow.

Well, finally, I’ve reached a goal. I’ve gone past page thirty in The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

I guess I can do one of two (or both) things:
Push forward and write a review of the first thirty pages,
or
Re read the thirty pages, taking notes, so a better review can be written.

I believe it’s taken me three weeks to read thirty pages of this work, so it’s safe to say at most I can read one to two pages per day or ten pages per week.

As for the other three …
Ashamed to say I’ve done nothing in terms of reading Hesiod’s The Homeric Hymns or Homer’s The Odyssey.
I am up to reading half of Book One of The Illiad.

It’s difficult to say how much I can read of all four in one day, let alone a week, and how much distraction I have in a given day.

I’ve not done any Ritual work for four days now, possibly up to a week, I haven’t written a journal entry in four days. I just don’t have the privacy in my room unless I don’t go to morning Activities, and even then I may be interrupted by nurses or housekeeping. So here I sit, in spiritual limbo. I suppose at least Modern Magick readings can be picked back up on.

BA reveals first and foremost, shingles and purple to red splotches of butt skin. Itchy back. Sore and dry eyes. Congested nose. Slight headache easily handled by Tylenol.

SMART Umbrella Goal 3: Healthy weight.
Have lost weight over the past two months, will ask nurse for exact weights per month for last three months. Trying to eat healthy.

SMART Umbrella Goal 2: Membership and Philanthropy. Studying Ham Radio Technician study for Technician License. Morse Code in particular, as part of linguistics, numbers and alphabet codes. ASL is being studied starting with hand signs for alphabet and numbers like Morse Code.

SMART Umbrella Goal 1: Continuing Education. On page 30 of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, will write review up to this page today, though may have to reread and take notes. Still on Book I of The Illiad, should have finished up to Boo III. Might as well write a review on Book I and start Book II. Hesiod Homeric Hymns have not started, Odyssey have not started. Should have made progress on each. So, these last two will be priority today. It is safe to say that Linguistic Anthropology/Communication is my degree choice.

Exercise and Exercises…

The reasons why qi gong is beneficial to the individual is well documented, though there is a warning to take it slow, and be correct.

For the book “Kabalah, Magic and the Great Work of Self-Transformation”, in the fire grade or portal are Belly Dancing or Energetic Dancing, and Qi Gong as the recommended grade exercise. Yoga for the water grade.

Same with “Modern Magick”, there is use of “The Five Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation”, which are yoga poses used with elemental pore breathing to stimulate the body and help things flow as they should.

I’m in a rut, though I think my best time to do my grade work is mid morning after the other three roommates are off to activities.

I should at least be doing all grade work, out of both books, including making the drawing work, writing work, and vocal and acting work. These will at least keep me doing my work, even with temporary pauses. If necessary, doing LHP work.

999

Additional detail to add, goals being worked on, etc. Thought this may help those new to daily journals. Crowley wrote a paper on importantce of keeping a daily journal.

Nearly a week since posting here.

Use of rituals is up fifty percent.

Walked double the usual distance with my CNA yesterday, today laid low.

Saw optometrist today and picked frames. So these and my reading glasses will have to last me a year.

Learning Latin, though still on the letter “A”.

Will weave Latin into book reports and book reviews. Still reading the Great Books. Will need to, however, pick one path, whether St Johns College or Adler or whomever.

Today is Maths (Pre-Algebra and Basic Geometry), and Logic Fallacies and Argument Structures.

TASKS and THOUGHTS:
For my forum posts…It’s been anywhere from one to two weeks without a post. I spend far too much time on Facebook.

I’m disillusioned with Magick. Ordeals is one thing a barrage of daily curses and hexes is too much for me to handle. I am walking away from the occult, but will complete Modern Magick first. I will not pay extortionists for their products and services. I will not explain my situation daily as to why I cannot use candles, incense, oils, or anything that is not free.

I am making some headway with my SMART Umbrella Goals, but very slowly. Physical Fitness, the third goal is underway but need to increase amount of daily physical exercises considering I cannot walk without an aluminum walker. The second goal is at a financial impasse. The first goal is possible with self directed study though the time frame needs to match the specific and achievable aspects of the goal.

When I step out of the occult, I will not use religion as a crutch. A fourth SMART Umbrella Goal is to use Magickal and mystical practices to achieve the others, to bring aims manifested into conscious physical reality quickly. A fifth or sixth goal is to use the other four as the crutch.

So, getting to the matters at hand…
SMART Goal 4 - Use Magickal statement by command of spirits via the Bornless Ritual, the Emerald Tablet of Hermes, and the Pattern on the Trestleboard. Commit to twice daily Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram. Middle Pillar Ritual at least once a day. Daily Solar Adorations and daily Archangel Prayers. For work through Modern Magick.

SMART Goal 3 - Twenty sit to stands, with each STS, do twenty mini squats and twenty lunges. Using hallway rail, twenty sidesteps, ten forward steps and ten backward steps. Use dumbbells for arm exercises. Stick to diet.

SMART Goal 2 - Focus on ASL, Morse Code and Ham Radio Technician License exam material. No other programs until these are complete. As I have no money or means of money to spend on non essentials, no Group Memberships or Philanthropy at this time

SMART Goal 1 - Focus on one author at a time. If possible, focus on one book at a time with an immediate written essay on the material read. Use St Johns College Great Books program list, and the list of Gateway to the Western World and Adler/Van Doren Great Books program list. Read selections from the Harvard Classics list.

Started assessments for the math portion, and keep running Into an issue with sites opening a PDF file, so it’s at an impasse currently.

For Great Books, calling it a draw at Book VIII.

For my Fall Film Theory essay, I chose Rambo: First Blood as the film.
The argument for it is in Rambo’s self defense, PTSD was already present, but due to the Sheriffs, heightened, to throw him into the necessity of guerilla warfare for the purpose of self preservation.
The argument against it was the side of the law, where a drifter was uncooperative and blew a fuse, and had to be trapped and caught, in order to send him to a maximum security prison.

For Music Theory, chose “Mars, the Bringer of War” from Gustav Holst’s “The Planets”.

Latin, ASLI and Morse Code currently learning digits and alphabet. For German, using CIA World Factbook details and writing it in German. For that purpose, basic grammar building blocks are learning material at the moment for German and Latin.

TASKS and THOUGHTS:
My status update on my SMART Umbrella Goals:
SMART Umbrella Goal 01
Continuing Education
I have not tackled necessary sub goals yet.
For what I have read, I’ve retained nothing.
I’ve no money to send away from transcripts, register online for classes.
Will start with attempting to get student loan forgiveness.

SMART Umbrella Goal 02
Group Membership and Philanthropy.
I am studying for ASL via free resources.
I am studying for HR Technician License.
I have no money or mobility for Philanthropy.

SMART Umbrella Goal 03
Weight Loss
I’ve rollercoasted it seems.
Look into anti parasites or oregano black seed oil, papaya seeds and pineapple juice.
Did five sit to stands, with fifteen mini squats per sit to stand.

SMART Umbrella Goal 04
Rituals Performed and Results.
I performed the QC, LBRP, QC, MPR and REE.
REE had the best results, I felt calmer.
MPR seemed to have been the effect of a flat musical note.

SMART Umbrella Goal 05
Disaster Preparedness
I have no money to obtain a modest month survival kit items for a shelter in place bag.

SMART Umbrella Goal 06
Magical instrument creation, consecration and purification
I’ve not done anything yet for any items, I operate mostly tool free magic.
I gave away a box I could have used for geomancy stones, I would still have needed to get stones to paint geomantic figures on.
I gave away a white and pink fan to a neighbor.

I admit some of my reports or reviews for my Continuing Education goal, I was turned onto a Facebook video from Taliesin McKnight on faery folk and land spirits.

The gist is a lot of trickster or no more mister nice guy type spirits pop up, haunt places and so on.

Repeat visits to a graveyard even with moral intent like visiting a loved one will attract spirits, especially if you gather first and don’t pay the toll etc.

One way toake peace with land spirits is to know the land. Learn the history of a place, learn the local plants.

This latter assignment he gave was find and know in depth three local land plants. Since I wheel around in a wheelchair and am in a nursing home, this was difficult.

But I found three. One in my hall is a Cactus outside, possible aloe.

Out front a row of red rose bushes.

Across the street and near the dining room side palm trees. All three have medicinal or survival properties or correspondences. All three have occult benefits and correspondences.

I now keep a nature log as well as my diaries and so on.

I’ve learned a form of doing my rituals, based upon rituals for psychic self defense.

Invoking triangles for element glyphs, intoning and vibrating enochian tablet names for that direction, an invoking element pentagram in front of head, and vibration of that direction godname. Charge and closing as normal.

Banishing can also be done this way. It seems to utilize the purpose of the LIRP and LBRP, so I would appreciate feedback if you try it and find it beneficial or if it does nothing, or does the reverse.
