Jane – I would see the books as saying that you need to gather more information. A book can suggest your life experience or memories; therefore experience you have learned from. They can also indicate other people’s experience and ideas that you are considering, learning from or in disagreement with. In this sense they are acquired information – or information received from other people.
But in any change of direction it should link with inner and outer direction, and your dream has that in it. But can you define what it is your main aim is – destiny as it were?

Thanks so much Tony. Your reading is quite spot on about the books,in retrospect, I would extend this dream to acquiring knowledge.This colleague who was standing outside with the books, was in real life,someone I admired for his brains, a gold medalist. And me going to a far away place to study was very life changing for me in terms experiences and learning,both self learning and learning from others.
But in any change of direction it should link with inner and outer direction, and your dream has that in it. But can you define what it is your main aim is – destiny as it were? -I'm a confused soul and don't really know where I'm heading in terms of aim/destiny. Sometimes, I've this deep urge to leave everything & go for retreats for long periods, which I've done in the last few years and other times, I'm keen to explore this physical world & make myself useful.
I'm also bit conflicted in using one's mental powers that one gets thr' meditation for just worldly gains.
Your thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks for your time & wisdom again Tony.
