So, French, Italian and Russian oil and gas interests are extracting natural gas in Lebanon (in defiance of Israeli claims to same). Has some kind of trade been done with the other part of the exchange being (a) not disputing Israeli actions in Syria, (b) dialling back support for Iran, (c) something else yet to be…[Read more]

The Emma Britten stuff really drew me in. I had just finished a book by Charles Williams (Inkling and Rosicrucian) called Decent into Hell. In this story, playwright and poet Peter STANHOPE (Phillip Stanhope) mentors a young girl, Pauline Anstruther, who is afraid of meeting her double (guardian on the threshold) in the street. He teaches her…[Read more]

Sydney I highly recommend this book by a friend of mine:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/369847.The_Theosophical_Enlightenment-
Thank you! “In the context of theosophical history, this book is neither on the side of the blind votaries of Madame Blavatsky, nor on that of her enemies. It may, therefore, be expected to mildly annoy both sides.” *** My boyfriend has expressed a strong distaste for Theosophy as we’ve watched the X-series, because it led to some rather horrid…[Read more]
-
With all its defects (in my view anyway) we could say is that over time, the theosophical movement resulted in the broaching to broader society of “esoteric” topics previously limited to scholars. For example, Blavatsky’s “Isis Unveiled” mostly consists of quotations from other authors, usually cited.
-
Godwin’s book gives a good historical and cultural perspective starting from Swedenborg in the late 18th cent. and this “theosophism”; Blavatsky came along later.
-
Personally I am not convinced that Blavatsky’s Theosophy can be blamed for the spread of late 19th and early 20th century politically-oriented racial ideas.

I only spent a few days in Tokyo but it was fascinating to see how there is this sense of expectation that “you too will keep things smooth flowing for everyone”… it almost floated in the air

When I studied the piano, I always played a Chopin piece to finish off the practice. It seemed to me that the piano was incomplete without him. He was also one of my mother’s favourite composers, and like you, when I now listen to some of his pieces, I’m reminded of the way she would quietly hum to his hauntingly beautiful melodies. The Poet of…[Read more]

I did like it Freefall…interesting that he does acknowledge and point out (for those of you outside of USSA) that here in this country we do have a lot of wiccans, occultist groups, etc, that are rebelling against the evangelist false interpretation of Christian doctrine, with the Darby inspired “Rapture” and so on. That has been my problem with…[Read more]

“Wittgenstein was hostile to modern philosophy as he found it. He thought it the product of a culture that had come to model everything that matters about our lives on scientific explanation. In its ever-extending observance of the idea that knowledge, not wisdom, is our goal, that what matters is information rather than insight, and that we b…[Read more]

CPE Bach at his whimsical satirical best, poking fun at the classical style before it has even been around for very long… and a bit of deliberate “wrong notes bi-tonality” in this as well in spots. You name it, he did it, and with great elegance as sophistication, even when he was poking fun. (BTW, the video says this is the G Major Wq 16, but…[Read more]

Richter makes my ears go into different spaces, and then pulls them back…at the same time !

I grew up listening to him; he was a phenomenal virtuoso. I didn’t care much for his orchestral interpretations, but he was absolutely spot on in using large harpsichords with 16′ choirs to play the Bachs, as he knew that’s the sort of instruments they had and used. He took an enormous amount of flak from the “authentic performance” crowd because…[Read more]

Thanks for the video, Dana. I’m watching this situation through American eyes.
