reading and writing more

I have been listening to Books on the Nightstand. It is great and I've put a lot of really interesting books on hold. Now all of a sudden I'm interested in other subjects. When I read more variety I also write more, all most all journaling. I like journaling because when I look back over my past entries I get an idea of what my process is. Somehow quieting down or being distracted in a pleasant way helps me get my unconscious going. Cooking, cleaning, reading, journaling, music don't seem anything out of the ordinary but they help get me into a space where things start to flow. Of course I also do magic but a day like this helps the magic take. The relationship with the unconscious or higher self ( lady, lord, holy guardian angel ) is what I'm looking for. Consciousness is pleasant but the experience of the higher self is life changing.
