Spam or destiny: it’s up to you
In the first instance, all those spammers who are hawking sexual performance enhancing pills, car insurance, crazy diets, teeth whitening and…. do I need to go on? Give me and the rest of the world a break. It’s a simple case of couldn’t give a shit about those things and annoyed that anyone should clog [...]
Dental hygiene, anorexia and the changing world order
Dentists in the UK are noting a recent phenomena, the grinding of teeth or bruxism. This has lead, in some cases, to healthy and previously undamaged teeth fracturing to the root. It seems that recent developments have lead to a rising incidence of teeth grinding behaviour, apparently it goes on unconsciously on the part of [...]
Call it what you will we are experiencing strange days.
It’s a stunning day. The sun has shone brightly, the moon is full and there is an air of anticipation. Strange things are happening in the world, earthquakes in Chile, tsunamis in the Pacific and Atlantic storms that have left scores dead in their wake in western Europe. The coldest February on record is over [...]
Schtick 4, stepping off the train to nowhere
Possibly like you, the slightly strange formative years left me with more questions than answers. A poorly managed education system while not extinguishing the desire to learn closed down options and left them closed. The struggle was to find meaning and make sense of it all. I found myself in among millions of others, none [...]
My god is not personal
My god is not personal. It is not a personality in the way that a monotheistic god is. Mine is the god of universal appearance, of creation and exists in all things. Its brevity is way beyond the ability of any human mind to comprehend. The keenest may make approximations or describe it by analogy [...]
Climate change, the Beatles and mass hysteria
It’s highly prescient and current. We’re in a groove reminiscent of Tulip mania, the South Sea Bubble, Y2K and the other mass hysteria that periodically and sequentially grip the human race. latterly we have the help/hindrance of a communications network that relays the minutest happening in the most isolated and distant place as soon as [...]
Integrity, Iraq and feeling slightly embarrassed
There are several qualities that I prize above all others. One of these is integrity. Personal integrity and respect for the integrity of others. Within each of us there is an internal blueprint that we consciously develop or semiconsciously absorb. At the periphery there are those for whom sublimation is an unconscious process and these [...]
Exotic disorders and the pursuit of happiness
For my sins I work some of the time with kids who present with severe emotional and behavioural disorders. The area is something of a minefield because different schools of thought exist regarding how to manage young people with these conditions that have exotic acronyms like ODD or ADHD or any number of esoterically named [...]
Blurb for the back cover of MoH
Peter Levine grew up in England in a setting that ticked all the wrong boxes. His upbringing left him with far more questions than answers and he began a lifelong quest to find meaning that resonated with his experiences. His search took him all over the world and he sought out and studied under teachers, [...]
Cycles, spirits and requirements
Something is building again. There are cycles of growth within us all, the various components of what we are experience cycles of diminishment and embellishment. Things grow, things decline. We exist in a never still state. Matters pass, I would call these concentrates of energy essential qualities. They represent pure states in the way that [...]
