My friend heiko@insanejournal.com. Labels: freedom of speech. ReCreating...

A Swan Flying Away From the Turkeys. Discourses on Spirituality, Metaphysics, Philosophy, Aesthetics and Personal Life. Tuesday, January 13, 2009. In this session, Elias begins by asking what brings people "opposition and irritation", with the implication that this is unique to every individual. What opposes you reveals the unique contours of your existence. Interestingly, I experienced some synchronicity with regard to these concepts. I've been using the Learning the Tarot. If you shoot your foot, you s...

A Swan Flying Away From the Turkeys. Discourses on Spirituality, Metaphysics, Philosophy, Aesthetics and Personal Life. Sunday, January 6, 2008. The Selfish Gene and the Nondual Self. I finished Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene. A while back. It confirmed many of my previous insights, and provoked new ones.

A Swan Flying Away From the Turkeys. Discourses on Spirituality, Metaphysics, Philosophy, Aesthetics and Personal Life. Thursday, July 29, 2010. New Project: Creating the Ability to Walk and Type. For example: the notion that physical illness is always the manifestation of inner pain and suffering, and order to cure the illness it is necessary to heal the "inner wounds".

A Swan Flying Away From the Turkeys. Discourses on Spirituality, Metaphysics, Philosophy, Aesthetics and Personal Life. Sunday, August 15, 2010. Last night I had a "story dream" - one with a formal plot beyond just "me doing things". It was a dark fantasy scenario, humans versus demons. A group of people were trying to trick the demons into releasing some human captives. In the meantime, I had to distract the Demon Lord Mephistopheles by asking him questions.

Thus, an ethic based on power as the primary good need not be a crude, simplistic creed of "Might Makes Right", but instead can utilize a complex, subtle and sophisticated understanding of power as true efficacy, incorporating characteristics such as adaptation, feedback, and sustainability.
