Life through the eyes of Kee Decemgero

I have kept a personal handwritten journal for 33 years, since I was 15, and it now amounts to 5,000 pages in 26 hardback notebooks. I never thought or intended it to be read in my lifetime, but with the development of the internet and blogging, I am looking at putting some of it online. What I need is blogging software which will allow me to type in the handwritten entries from my journal dated for any day between 1970 when I started and the ongoing present, as I dip into them and feel them relevant.
So if anyone can recommend blogging software that will allow me to make retrospective entries on any day going back as far as 1970, please email me at kee_cap8@yahoo.co.uk. I'd appreciate it :) It should be very feasible technically, but I haven't really explored the blogging software options, although Wordpress looks good. My current blog is on blogger at

Greeting and what I am about
I seek consciousness, wisdom and understanding, in order to serve
.jpg)
At 18 I made a serious commitment of my life to seek above all else higher consciousness, understanding and wisdom - the practical application of understanding. I also surrendered my personal needs and wishes to the will of whatever highest power and Being there may be, even if as a postmodernist you might believe it to be simply a cultural symbol for Good.I'm now 51. It's been interesting, sometimes thrilling, sometimes painful. But its what I was moved to do with my life, so I remember Job and move on. I was a member of a personal development organisation called The Emin, founded in London in 1970 by a man I knew as Leo, who was and is a great inspiration to me. I was also one of 1,200,000 people initiated by Charan Singh, the most of any Sant Mat teacher in history, a man of great integrity, wisdom and tolerance, whose path and the writings of his path, Radha Soami, were much plagiarised and copied by people who founded their own organisations for money. Some of his students, especially professor David Lane, have made it their mission to expose these false profiteering 'spiritual teachers', but when Charan Singh was asked about it, do you know what he said? "Maybe that is their experience, also", with a smile. So I tend to take that view. If, like Gandhi, we wish to promote harmony and peace, we must be tolerant of people's attempts, however small. There are now thousands, possibly millions of people in the organisations of those exploitative plagiarist teachers who are good, sincere people, so as long as it helps them, I would not point out where their paths came from.
After studying meditation under eastern teachers and personal development in Leo's Emin, I went to college as a mature student and graduated in my thirties with two first class honours degrees, majoring in English Literature and Psychology. I have a partner, who is a poet, and we have five beautiful and talented children, between the ages of five and eighteen.
If I had to sum up what I have learned, I would say :
"Listen within, follow your heart, but use your reason and common sense, too. Try to be tolerant of others, remembering that they are only human, like you, and can only live and assess things according to the extent and fineness of their upbringing, education and the breadth of their knowledge. And if you are lonely or in despair, don't give up hope. Try to help people and those issues which concern you, and you will find others with similar concerns. Keep on keeping on!"

Exceptional, World-Class Individuals
People who I personally admire, and consider, in the old fashioned but real sense, to be Geniuses on a global scale
Okay, this started really in 1985-6, when I was on an Bachelors Degree course, wanting to research what made people geniuses, and in particular why certain societies like Periclean Athens 455-405 BC, Renaissance Florence and Vienna 1890-1920 had a disproportionate number of creative geniuses clustered together in the same time and place.
I will always be grateful to the university librarian who spent £50 of their budget doing a search for me on a Database called DIALOG, based in California, through the University JANET system, an academic precursor of the internet.
My search terms immediately threw up a string of references from a brilliant young Harvard researcher, Dean Keith Simonton, who had been examining exactly the questions in which I was interested. The only difference was that I was approaching it more from the cross-fertilisation of psychology and cultural geography, which both of which I was taking as minors on a humanities degree, and Dean was applying sophisticated statistical methods (time series analysis) to historical timescales.
So I added my cultural geography perspective to Dean's already substantial work, and discovered that just over 50% of eminent achievers in Greco-Roman civilisation during their cultural peak, 455-405 BC, had been working mainly in Athens, and that most of them knew each other, and chatted together on an almost daily basis in the market square, the Agora. From that, I developed my theory of Creative Social Synergy, which is the central focus of my life's work.
So I am pleased to add Professor Simonton to my squidoo Lens as my first 'exceptional, World-Class Individuals.' There will be others, some of whom I am involved with and learning from now, but I feel a special respect and affection for Dean, even though we've never met, because of the impact his exceptional research and brilliance had had on my life. His students pretty much worship him, I understand, and I'm not surprised. Read his statement, no false modesty, but not overblown either - you should see his publications list! Wouldn't we all have liked to have a professor like that... :) A true example and role model for the academic world.
