Leo's new book

[ncarus]

Leo, this is probably not an ideal topic for the forum.  But I couldn't find any updates about an eta on its release on the home page or any of the sub topic tabs.  Maybe you could find a place to add updates on the book status somewhere in an easy to find spot?  Thanks.

I'm not actively working on it right now. I am working on courses.

Probably not for 5 years or more.

You said 6 years ago that you were in the middle of writing a book. What happened?

I was outlining it and writing bit and pieces. I have a skeleton of it in my notes and mind, but it requires enormous work to write it all out. I would need to take months off from working on Actualized to write it. It's too complex to write in bits and pieces.

The other factor is that I am still deepening my understanding of Consciousness, so writing the book now would be a bit premature.

Will a chapter be devoted to the space kangaroo?

I have a similar issue in my own long term project, which is similar to your book but in musical form: how do we know that we are getting truly the deepest insights and most comprehensive scope? 

I'm curious how you've dealt with the fact that you will reach a limit somewhere (number of pages you can write, time you have to write, depth of insight to explore, possibility that deeper insight invalidates the material you've already written) and how you plan on making sure the book or other projects you have planned get finished with a reasonable balance of the ideal and these practical limitations in mind?

There's no way to explicate that. You just gotta intuit it, and also don't be a perfectionist. You can always revise your work or make a 2nd edition or follow-up work. It's better to make something than nothing.
