Audiobook: Practical Time Travel Part 1 - Front pages and Introduction

This is a read-aloud of Practical Time Travel by Colin Bennett, a rare occult book in the public domain. Published around 1936, this book teaches how to navigate time and alternate lives via meditation, dreams, and hypnosis.

I’ll be reading this whole book aloud for a YouTube audiobook, posting it up chapter by chapter, so if you can’t find this book, it doesn’t matter! It will be online for free!

Once I’m done with the audiobook version, I’ll probably have the text version of it available for download online. I’ll add a link to it in the videos when it’s a thing.

Hey remember when the Babysitter’s Club had a Very Special Episode where one of the kids they babysit is an autistic child prodigy?

Seriously does anyone else remember this book because it was a strange read in middle school to find I related to the autistic kid the book was trying to portray as tragic more than I related to the “normal” kids in the book. She could replay any song she heard on the piano, and I believe she also had the skill to make incredibly detailed drawings, and the book depicted this is a tradeoff she got in exchange for having no social skills or deep connection to other humans. VERY. AWKWARD.

Did this even survive into the rebooted/updated era of the books? I read them in the 80s/90s when they first came out, and I know they rewrote them to add cell phones.

Solar Biology by Hiram E. Butler

A look inside a 1901 astrology text I picked up on ebay this week. Really fascinating incorporation of the ‘recent’ astronomical discoveries of the time into astrological interpretation–Pluto hadn’t been discovered yet, and Uranus was often still called Herschel! It’s from before most astrology was rewritten to be psychologically focused. It goes into things that have largely been purged out of astrology by now, like physical illness correspondences to signs, and even phrenology. A lot of interesting angles that look at astrology and physical science together. VERY interesting illustration plates.

I’m experimenting with YouTube, this is one of several new videos on my channel that explore the books in my occult library.

I’m finding it really easy to do videos talking about the books I have and what’s inside them and what their history is. It’s really relaxing, I think I’ll do read-alouds of the public domain books I have.

Caitlyn Jenner is just exploiting us all and is filming a run for California governor so the footage can be made into a reality show. Jenner has no intention of elevating trans people and, to be quite honest, speaking as a trans person–I’m not convinced Jenner ever actually transitioned and I wouldn’t be surprised if Jenner ‘detransitioned’ as a dramatic “reality show” moment.

I realize that’s a rash call for me to make, but Jenner’s campaign is literally built on tearing down trans girls in sports, and Jenner came out on a talk show. We can already judge how serious Jenner takes the trans narrative and transition. There was never a “there” there to begin with. Fake news.

Completely, utterly vanished. Fully hidden. Totally secure.

This cat has a brother. Here he is. I think you can tell which one is better at hiding.
