Episode 32: Challenge and Work

 If you are currently resident on earth, or even if you are just visiting then you are probably faced with many challenges.  For example, emotional, financial, mental, physical, spiritual, relationships, and perhaps a few I failed to mention.  Now generally this is not unusual in fact it is more or less the status quo.  Perhaps they have become more accented at this time.  Perhaps we are just looking in different ways. However, if we are at all honest with ourselves, we know that to overcome these challenges requires work.  And in general it requires work on our individual part.  However, co-operation and assistance is always valuable.  Now if this is true  we all certainly wish for an environment which will provide some course for success in achieving those goals and confronting our challenges. So right now we are facing an additional challenge which is simply at a time when we need each other more than ever, trans versing (getting across) o...

Episode - 31 - religion

 Long subject .... A long time ago, I wrote about the 3 types of major groups, religion, politics, science.  I did not include " business men " because that designation is way to vague and they don't congregate the same way. One of those things that I did not mention is that old and  incestuous relation  religions has with politics.  I mean you can go back however you like and you see it.   Wherever you look in history  you see that even and including the Crimean War ...  and so much more. However, previously I mentioned a proof of the existence of God, meaning exactly I proved it to MY satisfaction, which may or may not mean anything to you.  But that really has nothing to do with religion, because if you zoom out and look at religion as a thing, one thing , homogeneous over the face of the earth --- the issue of God doesn't enter much except in the way that we have a relation with God .  Now of course some of us my not believe in ...

Episode 29: U.S.A.

If you ask the question - How did I get here, (at any given time), that would be, all the events previous to this that more or less explains why you arrive at the particular place and situation you are in. If you look at the U.S.A.,,, very interesting and complex " entity ",  but honestly if you " ask ", how did we - meaning the U.S.A. arrive at the point we are, then it would be pretty much the same, it is really all our collective actions from the past, and even people we of course don't even know, are involved with that. Now of course you can go back as far as you wish, but really we just need to go back 100 years I think. In that time line Kent State occurred right in the middle. Kent State occurred in May 1970. And we can see that all these events which occurred in our so called " immediate past ", explains --- will explain fairly  accurately " why " we are here at this point in this time. Those events explain t...

Episode 27: Okay - Fine - Dark Ages

So quick overview, without any review, around 950 a.d. Roman Emperor requests mercenary s from Christian Pope, and  the Pope takes it upon himself to create an Army, which he sends to Palestine, and they conquer Jerusalem.  Fast forward 400 years and you have a continuation of this until Byzantium is sacked. Well dark ages.  Not much to say really ... Dark.

Episode 26: Sad story - Happy ending

So turns out the enhanced version of the I-Ching, was a bit of a two edged sword, and it didn't work out so well for everyone.  The Encyclopedia took it on the chin,,, but turns out profits did go up marginally.. It is also possible that those profits had to do with some changes in accounting, at that time, and so we really don't know. So the sad and the happy, intertwined, in fact very much like a great deal of our lives, dividing things up, and distinguishing between them. Different strands , kind of intertwined, in us.
