Dear Mark,
Thank you once again for your sublime generosity in sharing your wonderful streams of thought with me.I will reflect on these comments and do my best to maximise their value.
Princeton University Press will not require any academic qualifications for the writer of a book,only a work of quality.In the light of that,if you are interested,I could draw up a proposal to them and send it to you to see.Your work is unique and very rich, and,in my view, should be made available in a number of formats,particularly the internet and print.

The potential for scholarly exposition of the complexity and depth of your ideas represents a scholar's paradise.The possiblity opened by your work reminds me of that of William Blake,the English artist who refused to pursue formal education in the name of his cognitive indepedence but whose work is central in scholarship on English Romanticism.Other great English Romantics like Worsworth and Coleridge had no higher education.The French Symbolists Arthur Rimbaud and Charles Baudelaire,to choose two writers whose thinking shares some similarity with yours,also had no higher formal education,as far as I know,but their work is central to scholarship in French literature.

I have been reading your work on various sites,including ArtZone,Helium,the free online writer's archive and your essay on Sleipnir in an occult magazine .If,at your convenience,you can send me a list of all your works and their locations,apart from the sources I already know about,I would be grateful.

Please do write in any manner that suits you.Its very interesting when you choose how to relate to the English language as it suits you at particular points in time.The unconventional materiol would simply n need garmmatical,and at times,structural editing to make it clear to many readers,paticularly on account of the density of alliusiond each line of your writing contains, but the inspired approach is primary to that.

All the best and Goddess speed.
Toyin
