This story was written for a dear friend and fellow emperor who just left his old empire behind in order to build a next-generation dynasty. It's now part of the gruesome "Stories of the 401 Knights".
.............................................................. Alara and The Secret of All Emperors
"Another story!" demanded the King from the stranger from a strange land, who was all dressed in white. "Hmm," answered Alara, the foreign sage, fearless but carefully, "King, do you know the deepest of all the secrets of Emperors?"
"Go on and speak now if your life is dear to you," the King smiled at his guest... More >

And the rant goes on... this time on the predominant way of teaching in modern, 'Western' society.
Which is to look forward from the cause to the effect. Sounds reasonable at first, but... More >

Behind the (failed) attempt to create a Futures market for Terrorist activities lies a very important facet. A facet that could change things in the future for everyone involved in theoretical and practical morphogentetic studies, such as SkyWork, and likewise the followers of Bert Hellinger.
Why? More >

King Edward Lizard Agemo was right on with his promise of two new didges: they grew virtually over night amidst the canna brava in front of my temple. They are white, though, and they smell and feel like PVC. There is a big one and a smaller one. The big didgeridoo will be for Ed and I'll leave the baptizing to him.
The smaller one... More >

Ed, the greatest pun(k) sage & philosopher known to me, or should I say 'the sagey pun(k)ster'?, help me out here Ed.., anyway, we talked about 'tanha', the Pali (Buddhist) word for what is commonly translated as 'desire' (yet another one of these words that should be left untranslated, really!).
We talked about the reverse flow of tanha, a phenomenon that I labeled 'backdraft' some years ago, and... More >

Robert Anton Wilson said about this book: "...In a time of rising rage and terror, we need this as badly as a city with the plague needs vaccines and antibiotics. If I had the money I'd send a copy to every delegate at the UN." —Robert Anton Wilson, Author of TSOG: The Thing That Ate The Constitution
Well, if I had the money, I would put one of Bruce's other books in the parcel, "Drive yourself Sane".
Bruce and I have been inspiring each other for quite some time in weekly meetings. His books contain so many brilliant insights, I wouldn't know where to start if I would quote. More >

From the preface to "The Samkhya Philosophy" by Nandala Sinha, a book that sums it pretty much up on 700+ pages:
"The first and foremost amongst these [the cardinal doctrines of the Samkkhya School-mx] is the Sat-Karya-Siddhanta or the Established Tenet of Existent Effect. It is is the Law of the Identity of Cause and Effect: More >

When Jeff yesterday bitterly complained about the fences separating US (as in we) from US (as in the federal property of the United States of America (wasn't there some rule a few centuries ago that they should own only Washington DC and some strange island?", I was strangely reminded of the age-old question "What is Inside and What is Outside?".
Of course, one could see this as a definition of the game of Life, Universe, and Everything.
But that doesn't seem to be enough... More >

We saw the splendour, the magnificence of nature.. we passed by Red Rock Canyon (photo also available as desktop/screensaver picture!).
