ROLE PLAY AND THE GRAND ILLUSION.
In society people act out tasks, under titles, functions and roles. Examples are teacher, lawyer, solicitor and gardener. It is how larger society works, and fortunate is the man who is true to his job or profession, and that the personality is a match for the position. The corollary is that many people are masking, living behind a front or outward persona. I call this factor the grand illusion. I am pleased to say that my writing is true to my actual identity. Honest is the man who walks a straight path along the avenues of life.

WHEN PEOPLE TRY AND COPY YOU AND YOUR SYSTEM.
Attempts with good intentions are made after initial enthusiasm. It is often the case that people change the methods and interpretation of a system, as they become influenced by other people. The reality is that your own system is a reflection of individual personality and identity-no fancier will become me. The nearest to practicing my methods and system has been Nick Harvey of Taunton-credit due in our 9 years he has become an established Barcelona specialist. He has demonstrated great practical application to tasks. The essence of good racing is in the wise practical application of specialist knowledge, which is the fruit of research and insight on the part of the creator of the system. In many systems, the key is to spot the elements that will condition birds for the tasks in hand-simple when you know how.

THE PSYCHOTIC POET.
A brilliant and really creative poet may fuse psychosis with genius, if we use these terms. The poet may unite verbal images and feelings generated from the deeper layers of the unconscious mind. When filtered by the conscious ego at the top of the psyche, the imagery may carry depth, mystical power and primordial originality. The essence of the creative process, is eccentricity and unconventionality. If recorded in books the work may be appreciated by intellectuals and poets, as it is recognised by mainstream readers. Meditation, contemplation and life experiences from external stimuli may enable the poet or creative writer to be ethereal, mystical or fantastic, where the discipline and work ethic of the artist are essential to structure the ideas and externalise them. As an author, the fusion of sanity with madness fascinates me on an intuitive level of perception.

BLACKPOOL SHOW
The atmosphere is rich with beer and banter. There are some good aspects to this sea of pigeon racing humanity. As normal, I would research the books, DVDs, magazines and supplements. In these areas is knowledge, which is power to transform your mind and racing system back home. On the human level, contacts and friends can be made, under a distinctly commercial atmosphere. Emiel Denys, whom I met in 77 at the Olympiad had a profound effect on my racing career with his direct, dark cockbird, and we have his stock from the aces today-lovely small dark cheqs-a genius of a distance man. Wise to have deep pockets and short arms or you may be stung. Look out for the Racing Pigeon stand with Countryside Audio @ Visual DVDS!!

A DREAM TO FLY
As a young man I would have the dream sensations of flying, with soaring feelings into the sky. The dreams were symbolic, profound and mind enhancing. Deduced to represent inspiration, aspiration, ambition and spirituality, how are these generated by the brain/mind synthesis and why.? My philosophical inclination tells me that human consciousness is a blunt tool to explain such phenomena in an absolute way. I think we scratch the surface of the inner reality of the mind and psyche, and that science can be deluded in its arrogance. However, human insight, debate and analysis is the food of intellectuals and truth seekers. How do the readers respond to these ideas??

THE VISIONARY MIND.
In this personality the brain is hyperstimulated from the impact of the external world and within, it goes into overdrive. Formal education may help in the creation of original, novel or strange imagery, which may be expressed as art, literature or other media. Madness and genius may be united in the psyche of this personality. This class of mind is not rare within the global population, where it may impact on the mainstream consciousness in history and modernity. Wise, for the person to find a creative and acceptable outlet for fantasy, mysticism and the inner forces that are the engine room of the creative impulse. A leading example is the bizarre genius of J.K. Rowling. Fame may be the consequence of the publicity of the work.
