August 2011You may need to

or something similar to see the photos Welcome This
month was spent back at home in Wagga Wagga. Our small Wagga Alternative
Spirituality
group has now met twice. I started the group by just putting
advertisements on the local community newspaper. There is only four of
us so far, but i am sure it will grow. I now need to generate income to
help
us cover costs, so I am applying for work at the Probation Service, the
local prison and other places. I am not sure how that will fit
with the study I hope to embark on. On walks up the hill behind our house, less than a kilometre away, we found a group of at least 20 kangaroos living. I went on a day trip to Goulburn with a men's group I am part of.  I launched a website for my up coming book, Gonna Lay Down my Sword and Shield to be found at http://www.sword-and-shield.weebly.comBest of the NetWeebly.com offers free websites with an easy to use interface to build your site on-line. You get two websites free. Smsfun is another useful site. You can send free text messages, which is very useful for international text messages. I use smsfun.com.au from Australia.The great website at Neurophilosophy that I have mentioned before has shifted to http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/neurophilosophy. It is a great site and you can get an email sent each time there is a new article. A video of an interview with Salvador Dali in 1958 is very curious. He paints an interesting philosophy based on the up to date science of his time. He is of course confusing, contradictory and totally outrageous, but there is someting interesting and real beyond that. |

Previous NewslettersNewsletter archive Old "Recent News" Books I read this monthMutual Causation in Buddhism and in General Systems Theory.by Joanna Macy  This
book is just great in how it links the spiritual philosophy of Buddhism
and the science of Systems Theory. It points out for instance that the
linear perspective of nature pre-supposes a beginning and an end. That
means
someting had to start everything, thus requiring some form of
Unmoved Mover like God to
start it. A philosophy of non linear mutual causation and mutual
arsing of phenomenarequire does not anything external; Any "God"
becomes imminent in all creation and in all the dynamic
parts of the system. |
