Welcome
Welcome to the website of Alexander Raichev. That's me. If you're looking for Александър Райчев, the prominent Bulgarian composer who died in 2003, then you're barking up the wrong tree.
There's a variety of stuff here —recipes, poems, music and more— mostly collected for the benefit of my future self, family, and friends. May you find some of it useful!
Quote of the Day
[Our] normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different. We may go through life without suspecting their existence; but apply the requisite stimulus, and at a touch they are there in all their completeness, definite types of mentality which probably somewhere have their field of application and adaptation. No account of the universe in its totality can be final which leaves these other forms of consciousness quite disregarded. How to regard them is the question —for they are so discontinuous with ordinary consciousness. Yet they may determine attitudes though they cannot furnish formulas, and they open a region though they fail to give a map. At any rate, they forbid a premature closing of our accounts with reality.~William James
