===================
etcetera … etcetera … etcetera
At Keele 1954, I
(this now author-publisher)
having taken too many Dexedrines
[to overnight write my first English essay,
on Wordsworth’s “Intimations of Immortality,
for Lecturer Mr Lloyd’s small study group)
but been ‘plunged’ into
a frightening drop in personal-energy, self-confidence,
and in some “mind-function(s) shutdowns”;
I became wrongly diagnosed and iatrogenically treated.
Then from an ensuing Moorhaven Plymouth ‘mental-hospital’
needing to ‘conscience-ly’ resign my grant & place some two years later,
I had both endured and enjoyed a “second” checkered-career
(the first being up to the age of 26,
including finishing
my Sandhurst-trained regular army officer’s minimum time,
and a year broadcasting on Radio Malaya)
until now when I seem to be again
both enjoying and enduring
a ‘final-sea-change’ in my lifestyling.

Although I failed to survive even the first month
of the 4-year course at Keele,
memories of it,
and of other places and times,
keep on accompanying me.
One such is ‘suddenly’ now
that Keele University motto
“Gnothi Heouton” – “Know Thyself“…

CONTINUING
I voluntarily-altruisticly run a nonfiction e-site
http://lifefresh.net
in which I show advances in Human Development
that are being avoided & repressed
‘notably’ by Dweck, Jencks, Feldenkrais,
Hartley (Wisdom of the Body Moving), Forencich,
Powers {Perceptual Self-Control) –
which could/should replace Reinforcement Theory),
Todd (The Thinking Body) 1937;
and a literally ‘formidable’ list of Others.
———————-
The ‘point’ of all this is …
that Keele’s motto
“Know Thyself”
is something of a “trap” -:
because
in the down-on-the-ground, actual-living-of-life,
it has the sense of
[and thereunder the “string-of-more-words ‘meaning’ “]
(“) Know Your Worst-Weaknesses
as well as Your Outstanding-Strengths (“)
