A book inspired me

Recently, I m reading a book, called ”Supernature” by Lyall Watson. It is a really really amazing book! It amazes me, more or less because I didn’t expect it is a book just simply about biology. Somehow, if you have time, read something totally different from your field, you may get some great inspiration. Its like, every single page here can be a new topic on my next creation.

Actually, I heard this book from another book about Flash. That was a very good book as well, which Eiji lent me months ago. It not only includes a lot of Flash knowledge, from very basic positioning, to some sophisticated programming, but also contains some good thinking about design… And a very important contribution is they introduced me this book!! Haha… I hadn’t got any idea about what is this book about, thinking it may have some nice drawings, funny imagination of supernature in the writer’s mind… something like that… Since I bought this book from Internet… I had never seen the book anywhere. When I got the book by post, I was a bit upset because there is no any single drawings or photos or even a diagram. It was first published in 1973 and the price they sold is 50p (about HK$7). Haha…. But surely I have started reading it anyway. And totally get that why it is recommended.

I am just reading the first chapter (it is about some factors make the world in order, e.g. the sun, the moon, etc.) It bring me a lot of thinking, really… Why we exist? I was thinking maybe we are one of the experiments of something else as well... Just don’t get a wrong idea from me, it is just what it inspired me but not the book about~~ it is why inspiration so important to us, isn’t it?

At the beginning of the book, it says all human being, have the ability to selectively receive and ignore information from the surrounding. Even when you are sleeping, your brain would have a stronger response to people call your name then any other names. It can be easily control by your conscious (it happen when your mother ask you to do something else when you are chatting with your friend on internet), but actually it is control by your sub-conscious. It is quite a good reference when you don’t want to listen to someone but concentrate on your own thing.

Here is one of the experiments in the book a scientist has done which may interest you.
It is an experiment on cockroaches about the influence from the earth to their circadian rhythm. (I was surprised why people can spend such a long time, do something moliu like this. Maybe it does help a lot in our real life, who knows? I think, it is exactly what we need to learn from the western.)

I guess, everything can be related to our creation, with our imagination! Lets have a look on it if you have time. Or anything you never think you would interest in… it may bring you something incredible. (Maybe you would never have spare time, but I think you shouldn’t avoid doing something seems to be useless).
