"Van Vogt systematized his writing method, using scenes of 800 words or so where a new complication was added or something resolved. Several of his stories hinge on temporal conundra, a favorite theme. He stated that he acquired many of his writing techniques from three books: Narrative Technique by Thomas Uzzell, The Only Two Ways to Write a Story by John Gallishaw, and Twenty Problems of the Fiction Writer by Gallishaw. He also claimed many of his ideas came from dreams; throughout his writing life he arranged to be awakened every 90 minutes during his sleep period so he could write down his dreams. Van Vogt was also always interested in the idea of all-encompassing systems of knowledge (akin to modern meta-systems) —the characters in his very first story used a system called "Nexialism" to analyze the alien's behavior. Around this time, he became particularly interested in the general semantics of Alfred Korzybski. " (from Wikipedia) ., Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1980, 4, Aquarian, London, 1994. First Edition.

In our own time Buddhism has been "claimed" by many in the West - theosophists, environmentalists, quantum-physicists and the "New Age" - as a confirmation of their world view. Yet for more than 2000 years the religious traditions of East and West developed in ignorance of one another. From the time of Alexander the Great, kings, emperors and popes realized the political power that could be gained through alliance - or through conquest. Sent as political and spiritual envoys, whether hordes in Crusades or lone adventurers such as Marco Polo, Christians made contact with the "infidels" only by enduring years of arduous travel, risking death by disease or shipwreck. The Buddhists they encountered, baffled by the "Christians" blinkered selfrighteousness, responded by offering access to their monasteries and libraries of sacred texts, with the result that information - and much misinformation gradually reached the West. Following the story of these pioneers and their encounters with the Kagyu, Nyingma, Geluk, Sakya and Zen traditions, this book shows how contact between East and West developed over the centuries, revealing how the 19th-century colonists' categorization of Asian culture colours our view today.
