  1. For the past 40 years I have been living in both the "real world" and the magical one. I may be at the crossroads of existing more in one rather than the other. I let you know if anything notable happens in July and October.
  2. I would say a civilisation is defined by language and culture. While an employee is defined by geography. Here's the Merriam Webster definition of civilization : the beliefs, customs, arts, etc. characteristic of a particular time or place : Empire major political unit having a territory of great extent or a number of territories or peoples under a single sovereign authority especially : one having an emperor as chief of state (2) : the territory of such a political unit
  3. I wasn't familiar with Baldwin's writing at the time. However there are artist that I thought it was important to see. He was one of them. @Troy I remember running into you and Jasper at the Nina Hendrix concert I Brooklyn. And a play that your friend was an actor. IT to Bookseller plus you have a wide range.
  4. I did a delineation using names for the candidates, you said Trump was Lilly. So I didn't say it directly but you pointed out that the pseudonym I used was Trump
  5. I write this you responded as follows
  6. @ProfD out of the countries listed Great Britain is the only one that still has influence. China is slightly different since most of their conquering of land was internal. Although I don't feel they will be a superpower the way Rome, Great Britain and the US used to be. They lack the one thing those countries shared immigration. Immigrants bring a flavour and difference that changes the country.
  7. There are some similarities James Baldwin was involved in the non violent arm of the Civil Rights Movement. Yet he felt the Black Panthers was also important. Was vocal about even though as a homosexual, the Panthers, would have rejected him. His emotions did colour his thinking even though he was quite emotional. He was also a disorganised. Audrey Lorde was initially married to a white man and I believe she has a daughter. Then she became a lesbian. So she's an outsider among outsiders. I feel this informs her ideas. Samuel Delaney is in the top two of my favourite writers. He was a professor and the University of Massachusetts. He picked up a homeless book seeler from Hell's Kitchen. As a lover wrote about it and they become live in lovers. Definitely lived on his own terms Shameless name drop section. I heard.James Baldwin speak at my university. Went to a book signing by Samuel Delaney. I went to Audrey Lorde's funeral. Ironically I went to her funeral before I had read any of her works. Yes her book Women Race and Class is a book I have recommended to others. I am not familiar with Ta-Nehisi Coates. Other than he wrote for the Black Panther comic book and he moved to France
  8. For me it's James Baldwin, Audrey Lorde and Samuel Delaney. Interestingly all are homosexuals and have been in interracial relationships.
  9. I am I. Facebook is only for a few minutes. Sometimes I post to my Astrology group. That's very little response or interaction. That's about 800 members. I may get a few comments and 20 likes. I still check in to AALBC. However I don't post that much. Although I may attempt to explain my Time Markers system again. Or I may ask for volunteers to test Astrological Techniques.
  10. In 2016 I said he will be the most divisive unifying President.
  11. I was more of a Prince farm than MJ. Birth of them had difficult childhoods. Birth when on to become superstars. MJ seemed asexual while Prince was hypersexual and perhaps bisexual as well. Michael was a Virgo Sun. Which are known to be meticulous and control is a big issue. Prince was a Gemini Sun. Which are known to be very changeable. Both had a Pisces Moon. Which known to be done unconventional and other worldly. Both owned a musical catalogue. Both were secret drug users due to pain.
  12. Maybe energetically, although I have one photo as a kid that is somewhat similar. I generally had shorter hair. However as a kid I was pretty visible. I even caught up with a friend on Facebook and he remembered something I used to say 30 years ago. One of my house school teachers said I March to the beat of a different drummer. I think most people that I meet would say the same.
  13. I think ideas and invention exist elsewhere. And they are potential until they connect with the person that has the right skillset
