The superconscious. Its that hidden elightenment. To see deep within someone, without even trying. Naturally happens, whether you like it or not. I see facets of reality, almost as if it is a movie, not real. Perhaps the Matrix cliche is overused. But, its a good point. What we perceive as power and truth, has become temporal drudgery. The mortal flesh that decays is a passing glimpse of something not so perfect and pure. Just the beginning. Eternity awaits. The superconscious can be tapped in to. A guidance, understanding, and perception on such a level that no words or descriptions can actually do it justice. It must be experienced personally. And it is always different for each unique person. Their own flavor of this spiritual/eternal/divine connection to worlds not visible to the human eye. A force of energy that is in no way physical. Call it the God factor. "God" is too vague perhaps. To fully try and tap in to this other dimension is very intriguing. I dont know how to explain it, but this is what Ivan is doing. Hes trying to explain in his words this mysterious and uncommon phenomenon. And does a good job of it. Thats all for now.

WAY too many to list. I've been involved in music my entire life so this would encompass most any music. Right now I am interested in electronic type music such as IDM and music incorporating various ethnic and country/culture specific sounds. But l don't classify myself into liking music in general terms of "Rock" or "Classical." Music is a language of its own and cannot be classified in my mind into a specific category. I can listen to a song from one band and appreciate it in a manner that classifies it into its own genre of the song itself, and then listen to another song by the same band and possibly not care for it very much and say that its just cliche and stereotypical and put it in a category because it didn't strike me on a deeper level of consciousness. I'm not sure if any of that makes sense lol, I'm kind of rambling.

I like many movies, hard to say. A recent favorite is "There Will Be Blood" with Daniel Day Lewis. I don't watch much TV, but I do like Man Vs. Wild, Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, Documentary and Learning Programming such as found on Discovery Channel or the History Channel like Mythbusters. I watch a little news here and there.

I don't read very much except the Bible, self-expanding/improvement subjects, instruction books on various subjects such as a software program or some hobby or activity that I'm currently interested in. I read a lot on the internet, covering anything from Ivan's work to a specific subject that I want to know more about like recently I was reading up on image manipulation in various programs like Photoshop for example.
