[This post was originally for my Paranormal blog. It will still appear there because the implications and benefits of advanced human ability are an important aspect of this work. However, statistics and protocols are secondary to just plain living well. How we live in a way that is practical transcends any 'science' as a limited field. Living well is the best paranormal.] Here is a version of that essay. Thomas Carlyle's advocacy of the heroic in our culture is no longer mentioned in our schools. In fact few teachers, much less students, know who Carlyle was. Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881) was a contemporary and friend of the American transcendentalist, Ralph Waldo Emerson. I believe that to a student in the mid-1960s Carlyle was still known in literature until his banishment at some later time. His heroic standards for the West seems to have been too much for our emerging Liberalism. But this is not a grievance stu...
My father built a unique home of quality in the early 1950s I remember various stages of the construction. This is a photo of the home and Dad working on building it himself. Also a photo of him helping to build for kindred and community in a small Montana town. His craft is instructive to my own attempts at creativity with a few lessons in effort and ethics.

No, this delaying after initial efforts is more MY style. Dad's days were long which did not mean he didn't enjoy time with family conversation and a little music. The process of ...
KRISLER : BOOK TWO A QUICK INTRODUCTION Krisler : Book Two was supposed to be about winning through craftsmanship, enjoying the day, and family. I did not want to write another book about surviving war, and especially about a war in our midst now. Yet if we are to learn how we win and rebuild we have to study our options. Krisler Book Two is meant for those who seek to continue the legacy of life within their own family and kindred story. I've shared mine so that you can allow yourself to integrate yours. The extreme significance of surviving Bolshevism given in the first book is given in essence here because the Bolshevik/Cheka is a force against who we are. The Bolshevik-style controls we have today are of a different label yet just as destructive. Maybe more destructive if we consider that we are conditioned to accept controls and can't even identify in person the ad...
