I am reading up and writing down on how to create the support systems necessary to support my ambition, which is rather great.
In related news, I now have words for what was happening with me about 20 years ago.
I expect this lag to continue.
Not being able to put nouns and verbs to what is happening in the hidden 99%+ world which we access through tuned imagination, such as the emotional world, the personal culture, the philosophical development process of the individual as coherent with ior separate from the social context, and anything else you can both envision and perceive, is part of being a "growing living tree", or someone who is developing spiritually, and thus mentally, personally, and socially.
Thus, I expect most books will also be at best 20-30 years lagged behind the wisdom of their actual authors, but they may beyond the wisdom of their apparent authors if the authors simply translated unwritten works from the grave of one of their mentors, or some scripture which is not widely know.
For example, there was a book about "changing the paragigm". That's the same as "you can't put new wine into old wineskins", a proverb that should be popular since the canonical gospels were published at least 400 years ago (CE 1611 or so), but also remember that for 1,600 years or more, nothing was widely published.
Um, my point is that books tend to -- mo, must be -- be based on old knowledge.
Poetry can be faster, as can short stories and essays, because they often include concepts beyond the intellect of the author, if the author is a creative genius, or more precisely, in league with a Jinn or Muse which is driving the creation of unknow-to-author's-consciousness concepts. Over time, the author will come to comprehend those concepts, and thus, use them as tools for expression. Hence, education (ability to express self) has been acheived.
As for what happened before, I don't really plan to write about it, other than being my own experience and minor mystery, it is not all that interesting, and the universal principles which I learned along the way are encapsulated in those few paragraphs above.
