“Much of this sounds so much like coming from the mouths of some bygone generation of people who have never before seen the light of reasoning. I mean, what has gone wrong with some of you, for “chrissake?!”

Let's be real. You do not have to be one logician in order for you to understand that the original comment carries with it no real inherent spite. Although what could be thought of, rather than what could be vented out as an accusation, is that the comment may well be rather indifferent to the situation. But then that in itself is no crime. And the comment is not derogatory to the victim or to his murderer. Generally, it’s not even such to Jews. Thus I have never spoken anything nice or cordial, or friendly or even polite, about the murderer. The least that can happen is for someone to see the comment, say; as a sort of sarcasm, but that’s all.
Now, I warn you; let no man judge another in these really difficult circumstances. Because to see in these words anything other than as a moment for some of you to awaken from your poor, shrunken and otherwise depraved, miserable minds, would be a rather losing enterprise.
Try to put aside the bloodlines for a moment and focus on “the history” and not even a history too far out. The history, sadly, is right now being unfolded in Palestine.

For those of you who have accused me of hatred, I have to say that I am too well read for me to hate another man. And moreover , I have a lot of safety valves to myself to prevent me from descending into that dark hole. But then before you can even start to worry about me, have you ever tried for once to consider why would one group of people- in all this wide world- just so happened to be so notorious for being the subject of hatred, even long before you and I ever saw the light? Do you think that the world just woke up one day and decided that it was going to hate Jews?”

“ The Karma of Israel looms bright within the astral light,” is a saying that almost any diligent student of theosophy will recognize at once. This prophecy was first written down in the Secret Doctrine long before the first world wars, and long before even the second world wars, nay even before Hi**er was born. And based on this, may we not conclude that the astral light is again pregnant with those same evil deeds.?

The fooleries and the online bullies of today fall into two main categories. And this would be the ignorant masses and those who purposely bully others just to avoid looking at the facts. China is getting ahead- not there yet- but will eventually get there.

The 16th century English philosopher, Sir Francis Bacon, once outlined in his famous Organon, just how advancement and growth can exit one country to another, on and on.
Why would anyone think, that in the midst of China ‘s growing industrial rise, that this is probably not the time for the Chinese? I think this is like a whole new enlightenment age for the Chinese race.

Everything in nature has three distinct faces; whether it be a man, who’s coming of age, or a whole nation, there will come a time for every country a period of an ascending arch. This period is overseen by a huge increase in industrial advancement and in military power. And then comes its apex, which is when, along with this unsurpassed military power, also comes a period of great learning and riches and literary influence, and which may last for centuries. The last stage is described as the descending arch- which is when the age of decay sets in. This age has been described by the English philosopher as the mechanical age. America is probably nearing the beginning, if it’s not already within it.

At its apex , for over two hundred years, the United States stood firmly as the only Superpower. It is rich, and a world- conquering empire, even acting, in certain cases a bit more carefree. Same will come also for the Chinese, as it did for the British Empire.

Anyone who has ever read a Jung's book would agree that the books are usually full of symbolisms, interpretations and so many other interesting facts. Yet, throughout his career, and as a doctor, a bulk of Jung’s interpretations of dreams, and even the essays he wrote on symbolism, including Jung’ s own personal explanations for some of those dreams experiences, are for the most part full of his personal opinions and observations.

Jung comes from a Judeo-Christian background, and his erudition and character have to have been thoroughly informed by the doctrine of the day. Though Jung did travel to India, and even spoke frequently and favorably of Buddhist and Hindu texts; his views on the mind or rather the soul, remain mostly unchanged as can be seen from most of his writings.

Still Jungian literature speaks more to those with the Christian upbringing than it would to a mind trained in esotericism and philosophy.

I think veganism is a form of extremism! Avoiding the milk is a kind of dietary aestheticism which has become widespread. I want to know what do others think.

In Bacon’s Organon, a book he wrote in the early seventeenth century, which is to this day still considered to be Bacon’s magnum opus, the philosopher stunned his readers with such an excellent and proper use of language. Bacon made sure to intoxicate his readers right out of the vast scope of his learning.

Bacon’s intention in writing the book, one might say; as he himself explicitly reminded readers, was to restore an age-old ancient method, which was popular with the ancients for the acquisition of knowledge. Bacon’s theory, it seems, was none other than learning through direct experience or the inductive method.

Dissatisfied with the doctrine of Aristotle, whose philosophies were then the basis of the education in Bacon’s own era, might have probably helped the philosopher in reaching the conclusion which later on led him to undertake this grand enterprise..

Bacon however, will go on to credit the Greeks in general for their contribution to society. But he constantly criticized Aristotle for corrupting natural philosophy with his overuse of logic. In addition to Aristotle, Bacon will go on to frown at Plato by mildly accusing this philosopher for his admixture of philosophy with theology.

Bacon’s criticism didn’t stop just with Plato and Aristotle; he went on to criticize the school of Democritus and Parmenides, saying that while the school of Democritus, unlike the school of Protagoras, which was collecting money from students in exchange for teaching, and who was much more of a skeptic than a philosopher, but the teachings of Democritus, on the other hand had in it somewhat of the flavor of real philosophy. But that the school of Democritus, too, was very much fond of the elements he had discovered, so much that he didn’t bother to delve deeper.

After reading the Bacon book, I have to say that it is such a noble thing to be able to bear witness that the human intellect is capable of rising to such a lofty height such as was Bacon.
