COHERENT AND ACTIONABLE HEIDEGGER

A practical and non-academic presentation of Martin Heidegger is a project of mine.  I call it, " MY AMATEUR HEIDEGGERIAN  ADVENTURE ."    Kudos to a man who bettered me on aspects of this project.  Alexander J.A. Cortes sent out a newsletter a few days ago about Heidegger with the qualification that it is not meant to be professor/philosophy content but intended for Bros.  Cortes is an authentic leader and advocate of healthy living and authentic masculinity.  Thus, his topic of Heidegger's value toward Authenticity and Dasein.  I approve.   Do I have the money to sign up for an important collaboration of Alexander Cortes and Ed Latimore and Tanner Guzy ?  No.   Will it make a difference if I don't have it at the moment?   No.   Is it my own responsibility to have the prosperity for such a learning project?   Yes.    Alexander Cortes had an excellent pres...

RESPECTFUL TWEET TO GENEROUS MINDS

This blog is because I'm too long-winded for Twitter or maybe because I aspire to write quality content as a Cosmic professional.   Here is an example of my wordy nerdy intent and how it had to be limited for a single Tweet.  The original : "My newsletter on the subject of Divination hit a roadblock when I knew there is something important about Quantum Mechanics and 'wave form collapse' in the matter of choosing wisely with potentials.  The science baffled me even more when I read scientific journals and reports.  Something needed to be said here, but what?  Then I discovered this article on Selfmastered  @leoncastilloVC  with a guest post by by Garrett Dailey, @Libera_Rex.  Much appreciated!"

ENTREPRENEURIAL EDUCATION REVIVING THE WEST

Image
The West appeared lost.  At least that was the overwhelming picture when we looked at public and established education.  Yet it seems scholars can be fighters.  The West is making a resurgence when we look at what creative entrepreneurs have built to preserve history, art, and thought.  Lost education in the West seemed like an inevitable 'accomplishment' of the managerial elite.  Yet, survival and employment has found a place in the tech age.                  The Runa magazine interviews with the esteemed Stephen E. Flowers Education entrepreneurs are recovering what is lost in higher education.  Indeed, professors who have lost their employment to political correctness in the sad state of current curriculum are calling upon their resources to creatively implement solid programs that honor the integrity of their love of knowledge.   This is a phenomenon that ...

A TIME OF FOCUSED QUALITY

Image
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.  Notice that the forms are hand-built and there is concrete machinery in the vicinity.  There was no apprenticeship or training on how to do this.  They figured it out as they went.  Exemplary to my own efforts are my memories of my father's work ethic.  I doubt if he built the forms and said, "That's enough for today, time to be distracted until we pour the concrete tomorrow."  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 ...

THIS CORNER

Image
This Corner Field There are communities on social media that call themselves 'this corner' as in "On this corner of Twitter....."   I'm too long-winded for 280 characters or other restrictions.  Writing concisely has skill development potential but it also limits depth of presentation.  I usually come close to saying what I intend but need a few more words.  Thus this blog of short essays.  Any corner must expand market, influence, and nurturance into a natural wild or cultivated field.  The corner is the domain or domicile.  The customers must come from the prosperous citizens of the surrounding region.   Ma & Pa's Second Hand Store on the corner of Higgins and Alder in Missoula, Montana. It was a commercial and cultural landmark for 20 years. Still remembered today by the locals and some world travelers. Lower left is Flathead Lake at Mulligan Bay on Finley Point. The dock would be completely destroyed by storms every five years...

SOME REGIONS AND TIMES OF A SIMILAR MAGIC

Image
  That which heals and restores directs energy toward re-manifestation of a Divine pattern  What we have been, we can become.  Have I forgotten the essential heart of a runic Mystery?  For a time, yes.  Remembering calls upon the wholeness of what we have gained in data combined with what we have lost in imagination.  The integral requires that all this data and speedy communication  recombines with our power of vision with the stories of triumph in a living past.  For today.  Nothing is past us.   Living well is both resolve toward personal excellence, and the inevitable appearance of paradox.  It is said that the ability to accept paradox is a sign of maturity.  I don't remember who said that but I think its true and I'll let you know when I find out.  It rings true because of real experience.  A paradox I'm looking at today concerns the shamanic other-worldly, or non-ordinary, appearance of the Supernatural...

CONSCIOUSNESS WITH INTENT

Image
Books can arrive as signals of synchronicity.  This biography of Ernest Holmes found its way to me with an announcement of the funeral services for Dr. Holmes in 1970.  Somebody had thought highly enough of him to tape the newspaper article on the inside.  I discovered the Science of Mind of Ernest Holmes in about 1980.  When I publish my blogs and assorted thoughts in a formatted book I would mostly hope one could skip reading it and live by the intent.  I intend for you to have  creative and loving life as your authentic Self with your authentic people.  The content of my work is mostly about having fun as an independent.  There are moments when I get to tell the oponents of our value to "Bite me!" but that's just an added bonus.  That's my thought for the day so its time to get to work.  Formatting. One would hope that even the varmints of opposition will find their way back.  I owe this generous perspective to consid...
