6 Playlists of 111 videos in each (in progress)

25. James Boswell -- The Life of Samuel Johnson -- a milestone in the Biography genre, listening (David Timson) and eye reading it, thankfully I could get a replacement with operable footnotes for Kindle as my Kobo which doesn't re-charge anymore had the edition I spent close to 20 dollars for. This is the kind of work which gives you a palpable sense of the 1700s in the most charming manner possible, there's Literature gushing on every page, no one else loved Literature as much as Samuel Johnson I am bound to think. Although he deserves his own number it's fitting to use number 25 for him too, and thee best thing for me that is that is his work for the most part is his Essays which were what a few magazines had one was called The Rambler. He's a British Montaigne!!

26. Montaigne's complete Essays is perhaps a top 10 volume out of all these, and choosing just 10 as thee best, this is that sort of volume and Frame's translation, Screech is there too. There were times in the past where I was a failure of something, I was so disgusted by myself, and what brought me back together was this volume.

27. Marcel Proust -- In Search of Lost Time -- a few paragraphs just before a sleep is what my kind of doctor would prescribe.

28. Gisbertus Voetius -- Monergism has been awesome in 2026, Voetius is thee biggest Dutch Further Reformation guy, even bigger than Mastricht who was a student of Voetius. Before 2026 NOTHING was in English for him now we have Selected Disputations - 3 volumes (not Monergism that did this though I must say) and 3 more volumes called Politicae Eccelisiasticae!! With an added bonus called Spiritual Desertion, which is how you feel when real life causes you to rip your eyeballs from these captivating texts.

29. Herman Bavinck -- his major work is called Reformed Dogmatics, he does a superlative job at compiling succinct lists of all the principal works and giving sharp judgment calls on them, not even sparing his theological brethren for reproof.

30. Spinechillers -- Doug Bradley, Hellraiser's Pinhead narrates classic short horror tales like a damn pro, I even say he's better at this than he was in his defining role with all those things sticking in his face, his voice soars over 12 or 13 audiobooks that are each the length of a movie.

13.William Perkins -- the Father of Puritanism, who didn't like the term, as it was also name for heretics a generation or so before ole Willie, 10 volumes, footnotes work for up to the 4th or so, then those footnotes are hard to get to, one way is to bookmark your way through it all, which means you need to develop a flowing method of finger eye coordination and to make it as seamless as possible, and it is the learning of this eye finger coordination that is so not like reading that keeps me from doing it, but I gotta do it, or stop complaining about footnotes not being operable,but I need to mention the inoperable footnotes to gain some sympathy for the trials a bookworm like me has to go through, not a bed of roses that's for sure!!

14. Richard Sibbes -- 7 volumes all in one ebook, he was inbetween Perkins and the guy that's next, not an innovator like other giants, but towing the party line with a tongue dipped in honey, I refer here to one of his monikers, for he preached so fluidly,it was like honey, he was the talk of the town, for those who didn't like the Bard too much.

15. Thomas Goodwin -- 12 volumes in 12 ebooks with typos that can make ya holler at the inappropriateness of them at times, for example you see in black and white,plain and simple the Savior being named Jeans.

16. Shakespeare -- there is a lot of volumes I have for him, The Oxford pdf read on the Scribe is ideal, as all the notes are all presented on the page, you need as big of a e-reader as possible to be able to read it though. Also the Arden 3rd series, a few of the extra laden individual volumes, and the complete works without all those notes and stuff. Books on Shakespeare too, also in pdf are Valorium, I might be spelling that wrong,but they're like super deep commentaries on his Plays, which to me are like what the Zohar is for the Old Testament, such reverence for the material, and having such heated debate about the finer details, with resources like that, there's much to sink your teeth into with the Bard. There's also going to be an entry for all of the other Playwrights from this time period, have to condense while also elaborating to create that much sought after magical effect. Like when Hitchcock zoomed into Jimmy at the beginning of Vertigo, how the background was in relation to his face, and also with the bell tower at the cemetery from same film. There's also another Complete volume with loads of footnotes, it used to crash my kindle but not my new one,like a kid in a candy store now with that one now!!

17. The Philokalia -- 5 volumes, a collection of Eastern Orthodox Monastic writings, this is EO at it's finest, other stuff like it will be edited in for this entry number.

18. Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy read by Peter Wickham is great, but also eye reading it,Peter's voice graces many other audiobooks, his voice is like a Dickensian grandpa kind of voice, warm and fuzzies it ought to give the listener like being a child again, gathering around the Christmas Tree to hear about humanity's ailments.

7. The Collected Works of C.G. Jung - 19 volumes in one ebook, with functioning footnotes, what a great thing, like Rilke reading this is like asking for forgiveness. I'm jumping into the 9th volume which has some good old fashioned archetype stuff, for me that is Jung's sweet spot, along with some of the Eastern stuff, but the Red and Black Books, I dunno, pretty freaky stuff, almost like reading Eusebius, very dense and sounding like gibberish, I love writing my own gibberish, but to read professional gibberish is a thing I don't take to normally, even the ones I love I can only handle some of the time, like Sterne, Rabelais, etc, those are names that will be appearing, but name dropping is gonna be going on a lot for that is an ingredient I put into the overall recipe of appreciation, and besides, to be comparing like with like and placing one above the other is also very much a rationale to be indulged in, as one of the infinite ways one can artfully use Sequence.

8. Nietzsche -- it bugs me that there's no proper ebooks of Human All Too Human and Daybreak, the Cambridge editions!! Oh well,what is even more widely acknowledged as his most important works came after the Free Spirit series, which is for me the sweet spot, but the 2 collections of Kaufmann translations are the most useful volumes -- Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Genealogy of Morals, Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist and Ecce Homo are the works from those 2 volumes that are most important,but The Birth of Tragedy is there too, and that would aid the Greek Tragedian readings.

9. Frederick Copleston's History of Philosophy -- this is a landmark series well accepted as a very fine Introduction in 11 volumes the last one or 2 or 3 i've not gotten quite just yet. ThatPhilosophyGuy, my favorite philosophy professor i've come across on YouTube who's done really long in-depth series for Plato, Aristotle, Hegel and so on recognizes this series as the benchmark work, but my editions don't have operable footnotes.

10. Will Durant's The Story of Civilization -- eye reading this is even better than listening to them. 11 volumes.

11. Amandus Polanus -- Syntagma of Christian Theology -- this is a 10 volume work in 10 ebooks thanks to Monergism, there is a whole slew I have thanks to Monergism, if I ever get fiscally back on my feet and complete at least 333 of the books I got from them, I shall include them in my will I bequeath to a Reformed theological service all my Fellini and Bergman DVDs and Louis Feuilliade's crime serials, oh they'd love that!! Amandus was a German around the early 1600s, it's a monumental system.

12. Edgar Allan Poe -- I recently got the HPLHS's newly released "Complete" recording, they're really fine narrators, and they make sure the listener understands that Poe's work comes from a different time which for us today is offensive, so they help you brace yourself for such tales as The Gold Bug, and they're refreshingly self-deprecating, I see that when done well to be an important trait to have, I aim for it at times, but I've always only been clunky at it.

Tis my wish to document all my resources as comments to this post, numbering up to 666!!

And this way I can have more room to breathe in my thoughts which if put into a magically logical order with magical feelings flooding over the carefully chosen words, it would all make sense, but also it would then be alive to those who'd understand. Usually when something is understood after much toil, one then moves onto something else to be puzzled over, but with magical elements involved one wants to stay and linger over it all, delighting in it, as the Psalmist describes the lover of the law in the 1st Psalm, and oh yeah the longest one the 119th one hooo boy that's a corker!! ...... comments are allowed less space than posts proper so each comment shall contain 6 distinct works or collectively accepted collections.

1. The Bible -- there's a few Bibles I'm using, but mostly the Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible and the NET Full Notes, whoa the NET is something else, it's refreshing to see notes that aren't always shoving a soteriological point home, soteriology is all the talk about Salvation, and the means whereby it is said that it happens by whom and to whom and all that fun divisive stuff. It is my hope that this exercise will help me express it all better so as to lead folk away, like Nietzsche's Zarathustra did with his speeches, calling others to overcome themselves and reach for the stars, but not worded like that, which is too Hallmark-esque.

2. The Greek Tragedians -- Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides with Aristophanes for comic relief. In my documenting here of all resources being used, I shall be just typing in the names of the resources which I can type out without slavishly copying them, for much is hard for me to spell, I shall be devoting much time to this page with the post and all the comments till I am finished, at which time humanity will have 666 days to figure it all out. But I will only have 111 seconds, then i'll plop down rest for 50 hours and then use my post here to further clarify things for myself. This is a selfish thing i'm doing, but it's the good kind of selfish, where you forge your way out of the brush that obscures even the sky from thy eyes.
These Greeks are contained in 11 volumes.
Aeschylus -- The Oresteia -- Agamemnon / The Libation Bearers / The Eumenides -- it's extremely rare that this survived, no other trilogy surivives I think, and even this had a satyr play as the fourth, which is lost, oh the woe in store for those who shall be getting into ancient literature, keep reminding yourselves that it is a miracle anything remains at all. We owe a lot of thanks to monks during the middle ages for what we have today.

3. Alexander Comrie -- his magnum opus Distinctive Marks of Saving Faith, I was dipping into a resource which will be logged in soon, and it referenced this guy, who was Scottish, but was a part of the Dutch Further Reformation, page count a little over 500 but it's treated in a major way in the fanfare at the beginning of the volume placing it equally with other publications that to me always seem more weighty and monumental than this one, but that's what's so fun, you can have new faves at any ole time. ---- it is by being from the Dutch Further Reformation means something to a collector and appreciator of this kind of literature, for they are the spitting image theologically to the Puritans, but the Puritans proper were English, and also Scottish too,but the Puritan movement had expired mostly by the time of Comrie I think, the Puritan section of time based solely in England is the hotspot which has such a voluminous amount of material, and the Dutch were alot like them, but so few have been translated, that is why these publications mean so much, us anglophones who thought the Puritans were so crazy good and all, well there were others in another language, how trippy, eh? The differences, and there are some include something about the Dutch being a tad more methodical.

4. Rainer Maria Rilke -- there is a lot of volumes i've amassed for this Poetic wunderkind, and volumes on him, and also with Lou Andreas Salome, who has a little bit of overlap with a prominent figure who'll be named shortly. Rilke's verse and Letters are dreams come true, I feel honestly like I don't deserve such wonderful works, but it's a learning process to see yourself worthy for at least a few minutes a day, it's like the act of forgiving yourself when you're reading something so melodious and provocative which is provocative in a dreamy airy manner,not in the least abrasive or shocking,but shockingly good, he has a way of wording things you never thought could have been worded till you read it from him.

[my alternating point hid somewhere amidst the weeds of my words is not true as we see here with Rilke followed by the Stoics]

5. The Roman Stoics -- we have here Seneca, Epictetus, Musonius Rufus, and Marcus Aurelius, this is practical philosophy that I find so tasty and helpful, it's like it's saying "Earth to ____" whoever is reading it, earth to me, are ya ever gonna get past the initial stages, is one of the things it intimates in my brain.

6. At the end of each comment, there will be an audiobook, or audiobook series, so here I shall since I am alternating between theology and secular, it's theology's turn here, --- that right there is where I forgot how my sequence has been going, faults up to the oxygen free levels!! and what a wonderful thing it is to have Thomas Watson's A Body of Divinity there, which is a part of the eye reading program too, it's a classic on par with Pilgrim's Progress but without allegories, well it's not meant as allegory, and there'sa part in it where it speaks forcefully to me, where he's explaining why catechisms are the way to go, because when you're catechized there's less of a chance of being a flip flopper, and not sticking to anything for any meaningful amount of time. That is what I've always done, and my revolutionary approach is that EVERYTHING I am interested in is a part of it all as I speak, the music, and the books, often blending the 2 in ways that for me at least foster and nurture the magical element.

Interludes 1 to 6 of 666

1. Not just about the resources, in an Interlude there shall be general ruminations to be a outer shell in which in the future substantial word groupings would fall under.

2. The purpose of this is entirely for my own use, which I am terrifically proud of,not self pride mind you, but proud in the material itself, and it's like there's this green animating dust encircling the air just above my brow as I read and listen that offer Sequential hints, whispers as to coordinations which unlock the hidden features of all and any of the material given the exact time it happens and whatever else is being blended with it at the time, 0.00001% is my doing, the rest is the green animating dust swirling above me brow which are like connected to the material and they pop out in gelatinous puffy appendages, think of the baby foaming close to the end of Eraserhead, visuals like that are striking because they reveal the unseen things that are so common only for yourself.

3. There is to be daily cleaning up and other things I need to be doing every single day. The state of things besides books and music is pretty dire, but I would rather be silent about such things till I can report honestly about authentic progress, which is about equivalent to someone like Beavis or Butthead going to Oxford University and expecting to become some prestigious Lawyer or something like that, that is what getting my shit together is like.

4. I love doing this, I require no one to take notice, but if anyone does, it can only be someone who will either have popcorn and treat it as entertainment, or point out things that would be conducive to making those green swirling dust things with gelatinous appendages to grow ever larger where it's then like a scary painting with tentacled beings swallowing up earth, and the Fab Four are in one of the cosmic beings,the one glowing Yellow.

5. I feel the resurgence of how I used to be like in High School, I feel so grateful to my Cannabis shop, from 1999 to around 2025 weed was only a memory.

6. In fact this resurgence is more like Kindergarten with show and tell time, this post and comments are SHOW & TELL GONE WILD!!!

19. Daniel G.Hummel -- The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism --> this hits a sweet spot for having grown up with a dad who fell for all that Dispensational stuff, one of the key D texts will be noted under this number -- John Nelson Darby's Synopsis of the Bible, he was the first major Dispensational writer, there's more I got too, I say cocky like chewing bubble gum obnoxiously, and there's too many of those things too I have been and will be removing a lot of them from my eLibrary, too much is too much, just the definitive iconic works pretty please.

20. Petrarch -- The Petrarch Project, housing most proudly his Letters, it just dawned on me a few days ago that his Letters are fanciful, he wrote them to famous historic people like Socrates, I had thought for so long that he just happened to be pals with folk with names like famous people. Petrarch ushers in the Renaissance, big effing deal, there was a big fat history book I read from as a teenager that described how he walked up a little mountain and looked down at his town and saw things differently than anyone else, that description was decisive for me to pursue his writings from long before actually getting his stuff, he also is more known for his Poetry, Canzoniere is how I am spelling it now, Mark Musa translation, it is the best English translation as far as I know, with loads of footnotes, which work btw!!

21. Calvin -- with this guy you got his Institutes, the Battles translation and the 22 or so volumes of commentaries, that's the gist of it for me for him,and a devotional Beeke put together which he explains in his Intro that something like January to April were selections from his commentaries, and it made me think of them as devotional material, and the whole devotional aspect is crucial at times, you want these "Divines" to keep you focused and rarin' to go do good deeds and stuff, like it's the Flu or somethin'!!

22. Richard Matheson -- I Am Legend -- it's still new to me that this is a Vampire story, I thought it was just the last guy on earth, and there wouldn't be anyone else bothering him, he'd be like Jack Torrance without any family members around to terrorize, but no, this is like an episode of Supernatural almost, or Dawn of the Dead, or Clerks but with just the one person fighting off the evil customers to die with a Hustler in their hands in the washroom.

23. Louis Berkhof -- You got to make sure you start off with his Introduction to Systematic Theology, then the main thing, this is like a condensation of Herman Bavinck's 4 volume work which is so huge it deserves it's own number.

24. Malazan Book of the Fallen -- a mighty Fantasy series, 10 audiobooks, to be eye read also, to get into this is a special rare treat, Fantasy is done here on a level that is usually left for those who wrote those masterful epics in the 19th century, Steven Erikson is deserving of all the hype like that anyone offers him.
