This week I have achieved a personal, if little and insignificant, milestone.
I always said SEITE would not stop me reading fiction as I think reading stuff from the paperback top 10 helps me to stay in touch with what some are reading.
SEITE has stopped me reading fiction – the amount of work has taken some getting used to. But this week – success! I have started a great book ‘The traveler’ which is matrix-y/davinci code-y/ type stuff. Anything written by a guy with a name like John Twelve Hawks has got to be worth a read!

Hello, Rob:I was looking through the Internet for comments about The Traveller and I found your site. Normally, I don’t respond to blogs of people I don’t know, but I am responding to your spiritual perspective and faith.The Traveller is about a LOT of things — the end of privacy, freedom, etc. — but it seemed to have a secret message that I was missing. Then I read the LAST PAGE of the book. (Note: there is no spoiler here!). Lots of things have happened and then there’s a crucial line: “It was the first time she had ever prayed.”Which really surprised me. So I gave it a few weeks and reread the book and it appears to have a very spiritual theme — one that nobody seems to have noticed. It is an attack on the mechanical/bio-chemical view of humanity — vs. a realization that we have a soul.I’m a Christian — although not an active one (I’m one of those Easter and Christmas Christians). Obviously, you and your friends know a lot more about this than I do. So I ‘m curious to see what you think of the book. JJ 🙂

Hi JJGood to see you here, and thanks for commenting.When I have read the book it willbe great to chat about it more – as for your comments re ‘me and my friends knowing more’ – I doubt tht very much … we are all on ths journey together and learn together by listenng to, nd learning from, each other.Cheers
