Philosophical Speculations

Dana, no apology needed. Thanks for the indulgence of letting me rabbit on for a bit. Some of that was a result of being asked a question and then needing to give context, trying to drive home the power of the synchronicities, and making a hash of it. So, my apologies for that. Yes, I have read your...

OK. Point taken. I knew I had meandered too much.

Yet, illumanati, plotting, poor earthlings, none of these things were in my mind.

Beautifully harrowing, Santeri. I didn't turn down Helsinki girl. We didn't, by mutual consent. We talked, danced, laughed, drank a little. That was enough. The laughing, some craic, seemed to be enough. Much respect all round. No dismissiveness, if that's what I conveyed. I was Irish, that's all. A...

Hi again Santeri, Hi Ashvin. Santeri : Nice poem, nice music. Thanks. Yes, the Guinness factory. I worked around the corner, literally, for four years, as a Civil Engineer, Jan 1984-Jan 1988, with the local authority. Actually built some stuff, using existing people and resources, which even then wa...

Wonderful, Santeri, thank you for your listening/seeing skills. I am in Ireland, in the "far south" as one weatherman recently put it. I had a wonderful healer once, an American/Irish healer named Catherine. But what chance, amidst all the rest of the carry-on? She is/was a humanistic and ...

I'm not sure who this might help. Spontaneous derealisation is terrifying. Spontaneous, in that it wasn't sought, or achieved via any psychotropic substance.

Thanks, Dana and Santeri. Yes, my teachers were, how can I say, different to yours, Santeri. Amazing what happens when you are the screen. Quite literally, I mean. Just two examples of countless ones. The guy, at work. Something had happened the day before, on a sort of away day, that I thought he f...

Santeri said it best. Yes, it can be quite "psychotic". Too much meaning, too fast, can be overwhelming. Glad to hear that you've learned to live with it Santeri. (depending on that "energetic" state, and how balanced it is, of course.) And Ashvin, yes, you said it best too. Inde...
