Walter Logeman: Journal
Thomas Merton Internet Bibliography
Links to a huge range of his writing here. Inspired to search him out after listening to THOMAS MERTON: ACTIVISM OF THE SPIRIT with Jonathan Montaldo – which is program of the week right now on New Dimension. The image is from here.
Another take on a daily update. Interesting tracks and history.
This photo is made from a pin-hole camera using the photo paper itself! I love it!
I am enjoying photographic minimalism, having my 2002 version of a box brownie on my tramping trip. Probably lighter than 26 sheets of 6×4 photo paper it would take to print the shots! My camp site is a sort of antithesis to the WTC.
Some people may even create good things with this insidious technology. This is all too scary, they will swamp the Net with this ugly stuff. Start a Counternet? Or will we just rout around the pollution?
DRM, deceptive rip-off manipulation.
“This is a moderated Choose-your-own-adventure type of story where you get to write the story. Follow the story as it grows and grows, taking up much needed hard drive space. You can even copy down the story location and come back to it at a later date, to see how it’s grown.”
Trivial fun.
This is an excellent report. If you are thinking about online therapy, have a read. I am a member of this organisation and I appreciate their work.
Lit review for my Archetypes of Cyberspace essay:
The Art of the Classical World
This is a nice image of the staff and makes me think of the sign for Mercury and is pertinent to the strange debate about the symbolism involved. Here is a link to a site that claims the caduceus is not the medical symbol at all.
In other words, the Caduceus was just the wand of a conniving god of thieves who helped folks to Hades, and had nothing to do with medicine, let alone healing.
More on that here. With a more traditional image of the caduceus:
Fuller discussion here and here.
Ginette Paris argues more convincingly for two medicines that need clarifying: Hermes and Apollonian.
Interesting too is the link between Hermes and the later Hermes Trismegistus, here is a page light & clear.
Phil Gyford is doing an interesting and thorough job here. I like the way each entry can accumulate comments and thus in a way it might tun out to be a new form of research, publishing and discussion.
Years ago we had a marvelous online reading group of Jung’s Aion, however a simple email list did not work as people read at different rates. I can imagine a format like this for each paragraph, well at least for each chapter. I’ll follow this one for a bit, though the subject does not grab me all that much the form does.
Thanks Josh.
Later: The track back function is great! (though I can’t see this one there as yet).
Later: Of course, it is only an MT thing, but what if it cld Google the lot? That would be great.
Gaston An essay by Joanne Stroud, Ph.D
Bachelard has an almost reverential attitude toward the imagination. He would agree with Blakes statement that “The imagination is not a state; it is human existence itself.” He considers the imagination not only the source of pleasure and satisfaction, but also more importantly the primary source that stirs and vitalizes our actions. Often the mind, which is needed for accomplishing goals, and imagination are at odds with each other. “Satisfying the mind so often means doing violence to the imagination,” he argues. He urges us to give imagination full play, to allow ourselves to enjoy the jolt of joy that imagination stimulates before plotting how to effectuate any plans. We are most happily productive when physical action, work, and the images of reverie coincide. Then we can mold the world to our inner model. We can get a grip on it.
Bachelard has come up in several contexts all at once in connection with my Psyche and Cyberspace explorations and he seems somone worth knowing. This essay is a lovely start,
