Reejai to you and welcome to my first blog post.


My name is Aldie and I am 58 years old (59 in February).

I am starting the Access Module Y032 on February the 3rd, 2 days before my birthday. The module is headed People, Work and Society. It was recommended that I do this module as I haven't been involved in academic studies since doing my A Levels back when I was a teenager. In other words, it' been a very long time. In addition ... I was a pretty poor academic. I found it very difficult to study or even focus in class. I was never motivated to do any work at all (especially homework and revision). This access module should serve a good indicator as to whether or not I now have what it takes to 'go back to school'.

My aim is to follow the Access Module with Q07 BSc (Honours) Psychology.

In 1984 I did a water only fast for 28 days and my life changed dramatically. My goal since has been to try and leave a ding in the universe by discovering how to help eliminate unnecessary human suffering. 

As an amateur, I have been examining human nature and behaviour for over 30 years and think that I have discovered some extremely interesting things. 2018 seems like a good time for me to get some formal education on the subject and to examine my hypotheses with others that are more educated in the field.

So here I am.

Please communicate with me if you wish. My blog settings allow comments from anyone and everywhere, and anyone can have access to my blog.

Reejai!*



*Reejai definition - when used as a salutation, Reejai simply means 'I wish you happiness'. In particular, a happiness based in reality and not derived from delusion or artificial stimulants.
