Eros – fires of provocation and intoxication The idea of there being a “new” masculinity, implies … implies what exactly? Are women dragging men – kicking and screaming – to keep up with their running ahead of us via their “new” femininity? I’m using the “inity” way of looking at this – on purpose – […]

The lyre of experience In a Past, so long ago it haunts our Future, even the immortals wished for sleep. Who/What/Why/Where/When, asks the old breaking news? Are we a mystery – we “human” beings? Perhaps a temporarily embodied immortal node of conscious experience, or so held the ancients. In a universe, which is just an […]

My question is why do Americans imitate European Ways of seeking the spirit? I was getting ready to write my book “American Anthroposophy”, I chased down all the Steiner quotes on America I could find. See below – all Steiner … http://ipwebdev.com/hermit/anthroposophy.html “…America is the place at which races or civilizations die.” R.S. The Mission […]

Another shooting. Always “WHY”, but never any real answers. Change laws is the fallback liberal position, and in itself certainly wise. But still “WHY” I propose the following thesis: Canaries in the social coal mine. Many people are psychologically fragile. They break, they act out. We notice suicides.

an introduction It is an accurate name, for something not very nice. Trump happens because of him, for this outrageous genius – Karl Rove – changed the whole nature of modern politics. We need to know who to give credit to, for our current situation. We also need to know what he did and how […]

Notes on 2020 election in America … what is it about?The link below is to a recent opinion screed, in the New York Times, by Maureen Dowd. As expected (by many actually), the primary season of presidential politics finds the Democrats once again eating their young. Republicans need do no opposition research until late in […]

The Mother of all Fears … is that the world might actually make sense. Tragedy&Comedy always does, but mostly in secret. The invisible world of spirit is ever-present. Yet, for all that still invisible. For each, there is an inner world of far greater dimensions, for soul&spirit are infinite in time and space. A physical […]

Evil … The logic of “evil” is odd. Evil requires, for meaning at the conceptual level, Good. Each is married to the “other”. The next level of odd, has to do with the truth, which is that not only are Good&Evil married, that marriage is an embodied reflection of aspects of the Divine Mystery Itself. […]
