The Weekly Gravy #166

I think it’s time to review another batch of shorts, yes? Two Faces (1968) – A series of semi-abstract images of faces (two to an image, of course) pass before our eyes; some are easier to make out than others, and they express a wide range of emotions, including anxiety, pride, resentment, and detachment. These are accompanied by Derrick Newman’s starkly stringed score (Alex North came to mind)…

The Royal Diaries

Growing up, born in the early 90’s, my absolute favorite book were The Royal Diaries series from Scholastic. These books were a spinoff from the Dear America books (which I also read). They followed the middle age/teenage years of historically important royal women. To be honest, my obsession with monarchies and my interest in history (and my history degree) can be firmly traced from this series.…

Anjikan and SuiZen = Esoteric Ro SuiZen, p.1

In previous posts, I spoke of my Pilgrimage to Mt. Koyasan in Wakayama, Japan. The purpose was twofold, to experience Shingon Anjikan meditation and to revisit another temple I stayed at a couple of years ago, to recharge my Spirit. While experiencing Anjikan I came upon the idea of how to adapt some of the techniques, and philosophy to Shakuhachi SuiZen. Many theory’s are floating around about…

False Thought, by Ch'an Master Lai-kuo

Buddhist meditation; 'False Thought', by Ch'an Master Lai-kuo http://wp.me/pFy3u-2NC Translated by Martine and Stephen Batchelor

Translated from the Korean by Martine and Stephen Batchelor When people first make the resolve to realize enlighten­ment, they fear false thought. Those people who have sat for a long time fear drowsy con­fusion. I say that people like these are not capable of doing the work, and don’t have a share in liberation from birth and death. Why is that? Be­cause they don’t realize the scope and sphere…

The Swimming Dragon

Many years ago, I stumbled across a very simple ch’i kung (qigong) exercise that has stayed with me through the years. Every now and then I return to it and just last week was one of those times. But now as the years roll by, it is an even more important addition to my daily life. Being reminded of the joy of discovery of this extremely simple yet powerful practice, I wanted to share it. There…

Going to Naples and Sorrento - on an Italian opera trail.

Watching Mount Vesuvius from Sorrento, across the Bay of Naples, I thought of Pliny the Younger (born 61 AD), as you do, who wrote a detailed description of the catastrophic eruption of the volcano (79 AD) that killed his uncle, the great Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, who sailed into the disaster because he was interested in the science of volcanoes. Pliny the younger watched the destruction…

Nouvellistes d'hier et d'aujourd'hui : Arthur Conan Doyle - Une Momie qui ressuscite (Traduction par Albert Savine)- 1925 -Chap 4-5-6-7

IV C’est de cette façon étrange que débutèrent les relations d’Edward Bellingham et d’Abercrombie Smith, connaissance que ce dernier, tout au moins, ne désirait pas pousser plus loin. Bellingham, cependant, semblait rechercher son voisin au parler rude et lui fit des avances telles qu’elles l’obligeaient à le repousser sans brutalité. Deux fois, il vint remercier Smith de son assistance, et,…
