The only other book of Paasilinna's I've found translated into English is called The Howling Miller. I have a friend who is half Ojibwa and half Finnish and calls himself a Findian. He is very much like the main character in The Year of…

Sometimes it is easy to unlock the language beneath the words, even if there appears to be no direct expression of emotion. And at other times we haven't a clue. Communication is dependent largely on giving and receiving messages. One function…

Voice of the Silence

Thumbnail
Hello everyone. The intention of this group is to delve into HPB’s The Voice of the Silence in a effort at sustained group study. The hope here is to go through the Voice step by step, together, discussing each part, sharing our thoughts, posing questions and generally engaging ourselves as a group in the study of its content.The Voice of the Silence is far from a typical academic writing, and is therefore not simply a matter of study in terms of grasping an intellectual hold of its words, but…See More

Yes, I know. I still found them too complicated. I would use ASCII because it is already the most common system and probably derive lot of vocabulary from English.   Well, this is just practice for my other half of brain.

Previous attempts at Esperanto and Delasoni have not yielded the desired results. There is a god overview of attempts at Universal Languages at Wikipedia.

Universal language

Inspired by conversation in SD group I therefore blog. Blog blog.Years ago I had a bad flu and was lying in bed in fever listening to tv-news about EU parliament with all these huge piles of papers when everything has to be in different langugaes. In my feverish mind I thought I'll make a new language for EU. Or, why not, a universal language.Ideas I had:It's grammar should be as straightforward as possible. No exceptions to rules after another.All the letters in alphabet should have only one…See More

Reading Lists - Getting Up To Speed

Thumbnail
Sometimes we want to learn a subject and always the hardest part is just getting the basics.I had a recent experience here because I posted something that ended up showing that I was not even basically competent on the subject.  Rather than to feel guilty or upset over it I decided that perhaps a better way of handling it (as well as a number of other blind spots)  was to poll other members who have expertise in areas to give some idea of what books or other media is essential to getting a…See More

Mika Perala replied to Xena Georgina's discussion 'Dreaming, Lucid dreaming and Psychosis' in the group The human psyche and brain: psychology and theosophical perspectives
Heyy, this interests me too. I've had occasional lucid dreams. They are very short but fun since usually I just fly around. I've started to keep a dream diary in hope that I would learn to have them more often. Have not been very succesful…

The human psyche and brain: psychology and theosophical perspectives

Thumbnail
As a student of psychology, I feel the need to introduce some current topics on psychological research so we can reflect on them and have some fruitful discussions with a theosophical perspective.Also, I think this field of study needs a boost so that we can shift from reductionistic views to a more holistic study of the human psyche that combines knowledge of all relevant disciplines, including, science, philosophy, theosophy, anthropology etc.. I have made it my career aim to enhance…See More

Secret Doctrine Study Group: Seven Crucial Concepts

Yes, we're having a reboot.  Kind of like the Star Trek movie.  This will be original and hopefully a lot of fun.What we hope to do is to learn some of the key ideas in the Secret Doctrine and give you the tools to do your own flavor of Theosopher. There will be several approaches, not only those that are  familiar, but some that draw on other theosophies and apply their methods to our work.Bring your creative caps and be prepared to have some fun...and watch out, you just may have a brand new…See More

Mika Perala replied to Jon Fergus's discussion 'What is Desire?'
To me, the reason to desire, the essential cause of it, is either an actual or a perceived lack of something (whether inward or outward), thus leading to a 'urge' for that something. I am now referring to what I feel when I'm…

The only other book of Paasilinna's I've found translated into English is called The Howling Miller. I have a friend who is half Ojibwa and half Finnish and calls himself a Findian. He is very much like the main character in The Year of the Hare. I would invite him to this website, but he is more a fan of Crowley than of HPB.

I was ten years old when the double sided hit Hound Dog and Don't be Cruel was released and it was the first 45 RPM record I bought. Then I had to convince my parents to get a player. When his Christmas album came out it became something of a scandal, but my parents loved it. I still can hear him sing It'll be a blue, blue Christmas without you. Maybe Elivis's mantra is: Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Yes, Elvis read The Tibetan Book of the Dead and Autobiography of a Yogi.
