in search for things to read before going to bed, i discovered the writings of connor habib. at first i didn't pay too much attention since i just want to go to bed. i was reading an entry he submitted for a contest or something to that effect. within the first paragraph, i was hooked. i was amazed on the use of words and the simplicity of the story telling.
"On the plane, we find Gebser’s mythic consciousness. The plane pulls the mythic human around and around. A square, not a circle, is the best image for mythic time, because it is a shape punctuated by familiar instances: seasons, directions, colors. Rhythm is felt by the rounding of a corner. In a sense, these corners are the gods. While in the magical mutation of first-dimensional thinking synchronicities “popped up”, in the mythic, synchronicities acquired a new intensity – rhythm. If in magical consciousness synchronicity was punctuated percussing noise, then in mythical consciousness, at the corners, the noises found a beat."

before i forget, mr. connor habib (try googling it) is a gay porn star. before his current occupation, his resume includes teaching college-level literature class. i guess changing career is always an option.
