Saturday, April 12, 2008 Hi. My name is Temy. I started this site on November 10, 1998 and, as you can see, even then, I intended it to be a learning place. I still do, though the ideas (and tools) for making it so have greatly evolved and, I have grown considerably older, so the urge has become much more palpable to make this as good a genuine learning place as I can while I still can. On March 30, 2008, my ex-wife Philis, to whom I was married about 26 years, died. In one sense I perceived this as another gut-punch reminder, as if I needed more, of my mortality. A visitor here should be able to learn about everything from aardvarks to zygotes. For a long time life and other distractions severly stunted the growth of the site. Now that my "working life" is over; my time is pretty much my own; tripod and I have resumed our relationship, and as I rapidly approach fifty years old, I plan to spend a great deal of time here, cleaning out cobwebs, broken links, etc., and loading the place to the rafters with what I hope will be an organized approach to knowledge. Upon discovering that the relatively new gadgets of music players and videos are usable here, I realized the much greater impact these things can have than text only. I do hope you will return here often, whenever you feel in the mood to learn something, to hear music, to get a smile, to know more about me, etc. Please sign the guestbook, and feel free to email me if you like. Enjoy.

Imagine
|
Imagine by John Lennon Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today. Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion, too. Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one. Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people sharing all the world. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one. |
If you are the sort of person who sees nothing wrong with the world as it is, what can I say except fine, goodbye. Live with it till you die. If you are a person of vision, however, and recognize the disparity between "what is" in the world and "what could be," then I truly hope you will join me and the others who are working to make this a better world for all of us.
Obviously, we should begin with determining what some of the worst problems are. I believe I have taken some major steps in that direction already. I have identified EGOR as a major source of most problems. EGOR is a monster of our own creation, and must very soon be destroyed or he will surely destroy us utterly. EGOR is far too complex to be completely introduced in this space. I will offer a complete introduction on following pages.
I have also begun one of the first steps in the battle plan against EGOR. It is called S.O.A.R. Are you beginning to get just a bit curious about what EGOR and S.O.A.R. could be? Here's a hint: More than 100 years ago Robert Ingersoll wrote the piece below. Does it stir your emotions? Can you agree with it? If so, stay a while. This is The Learning Place. You and I can learn from each other. You're going to die soon enough, anyway. Why not do something really good while you're here?
....................Are you normal?
Consider this:
"The really hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. 'Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer...' They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjystment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental illness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted, still cherish 'the illusion of individuality,' but in fact they have been to a great extent deindividualized. Their conformity is developing into something like uniformity. But 'unifomity and freedom are incompatible. Uniformity and mental health are incompatible too... Man is not made to be an automaton, and if he becomes one, the basis for mental health is destroyed."From: BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED by Aldous Huxley, 1958 (The year the old Atheist Preacher was born!), pp.25-26.
