Eric, you're very welcome. It's good to hear that my small book has been so helpful to at least one person.
As for the slowness of one's own wanderings, that's how it was for me, too. I moved quite slowly through many areas of study on my own path; it wasn't until I was in my 50s that I was able barely to start putting all the many pieces together into a coherent understanding of what small tasks I had been born to do during my life, which few people I had been destined to meet, and what modest things I was able to do to help them along their own paths. I seem to be just a tiny pawns on a vast cosmic chessboard in a sort of "quasi-game" that had been going on since the creation of the universe and would continue until the end of time. Nothing grand at all, and that suffices me.
Also, from everything our host has said here about his own life, I suspect it has gone something like this for him, too.
