“The vested interests – if we explain the situation by their influence – can only get the public to act as they wish by manipulating public opinion, by playing either upon the public’s indifference, confusions, prejudices, pugnacities or fears.” ~ Sir Norman Angell We have a serious problem that pervades our culture.

What Day Is It?? Does it matter?

“Clocks slay time… Time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; Only when the clock stops does time come to life.” ~ William Faulkner When did time-keeping begin?

Oblivion

“All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.” ~ Maurice Maeterlinck Humans have great capacity for good, for love, for incredible acts of valor and courage; yet the friction remains.

Staggered Column

The staggered column is a form of patrol, used by military forces. I learned this art of warfare during my time of service in the United States Marine Corps. This technique is placed in the sphere of a brutal reality. Hold fast in its metaphoric truth. The column, so defined, is a staggered line of […]

The Student

In life, we are all students of the world. Not only of the world, but of the vast construction of reality. Here, in this sphere, we are free to explore its truth and indulge in its wonders. Many self-professed “teachers” often come to us through various ways; mostly through the classroom as deliverers of knowledge, […]
