Also includes a link to interesting passages from my misspent youth. I hope it gets across some of the flavor of this event. This has led me to see specific correspondences of the enneagram with other esoteric wisdom-teachings and to develop some, I believe original in the public sphere anyway, insights into the enneagram symbol. As the possible relevance of the these observations relies on familiarity with various works in the area of 'speculative music,' I have included a brief, select bibliograhpy . Note that this work is a first formulation and is not a comprehensive statement, however, I believe the basic principles discussed represent a fresh insight and place it within a new and broader context.
Comments are welcome and appreciated.
I've received a number of interesting responses, I'm not always able to respond immediately or in depth, but I do appreciate hearing from others involved with similar ideas. Life is good, although it was a bit of a bumpy ride, requiring five surgeries and numberless procedures. I've finally completed an account of my transplant story here for the benefit of those in similar circumstances, also to add my two cents on the current debate about changes in the organ allocation system. For info on end stage liver disease, organ failure, donation, and transplantation, I advise TransWeb - Transplantation and Donation at the University of Michigan. And a verse in rememberance of my donor's gift, and as a plea to get guns out of the hands of children and teenagers.
