Summertime Books And A Pearl

Summertime Books And A Pearl
Summertime for me symbolizes sunshine, book research paper and the oral errand to the built-up of the Sun - my home-grown Karlstad. But this summer has been very special. My magical noble Margaretha (Persian finger suggest prize) and I made the errand band and on July 8th we got captivated in Karlstad in the function of the Sun (Sola i Karlstad) blessed us similar to several days of supreme weather. Karlstad was the unreserved coveted for us as we were what's more uneducated in this liberal built-up.

Margaretha and the carving Sola i Karlstad


Margaretha and I dragging three days in V"armland and visited Marbacka, home-grown of the famous Swedish novelist Selma Lagerl"of. As I unite mentioned in several blog entries Selma Lagerl"of was quick in and converted by the concealed addiction and clarify several books by theosophist Annie Besant. This charm is without a flaw discernible in multiple of her novels.

Selma Lagerl"of 1848-1940


A aspiring author? Margaretha at Marbacka

This summer I unite clarify the latest book from the pen of the very sumptuous novelist Slice Redfern: "Liquidate Encounters of the Plague-ridden Sort". This time he presents a what went before simplification of the amusing deaths and disappearances of ufologists and other persons involved in the underground world of ufology. Tons of the cases mentioned can apparently be explained in very pedestrian provision but Redferns documents a few in essence multihued deaths. Pat Schedule was a capable remote-viewer who in the 1970s was enlisted by the CIA to psychically spy on the Soviet Association and other secure enemies of the Attached States. Schedule in addition claimed to unite undressed alien bases in several countries express the world. Redfern documents the if at all possible amusing state of affairs on the road to Price's premature humanity in Las Vegas on July 14, 1975.

In the 1950s it was basically Christian fundamentalists who regarded UFOs as manifestations of immoral entities. Currently we unite a after all varied stipulation noted by Redfern: "Voguish the turn of UFO research, in attendance is an all-encompassing sub-culture that believes the flying saucer enigma is unquestionably demonic in ancestry and style." (p. 154) Fairly significant in this turn was "Flying Saucer Inspect" editor Gordon Creighton who, inspired by Anthroposophy and Islam, introduced the theory of Jinns as an explanation for the behavior of UFO entities.

Slice Redfern keeps an break through infer as to what in essence happened in the cases mentioned in the book. Sometimes his theories and speculations are a bit far out but as we in essence don't understand what deceit once the various UFO phenomena maybe his fright in the end call for be considered: "To UFO witnesses, investigators, abductees, researchers, and settle about someone and anybody pondering of immersing themselves in the world of the flying saucer, I say this: pace very calculatingly, lest your pace no untouchable. Customarily."

In time a few lecture about a most gripping book I am right now reading: "Eranos. An Catalog Cerebral Ancient times of the Twentieth Century" by Hans Thomas Hakl. Since 1933 zenith intellectuals unite gathered annually at the Eranos Meetings in Switzerland to discussion religion, taste, religious studies, esotericism, psychology and the cultural trends in society. Concerning we grasp significant thinkers so Carl Gustav Jung, Mircea Eliade, Martin Buber, Paul Tillich, Joseph Campbell a.o. Taking part in the first being esotericist Alice Bailey was one of the steady lecturers.

Not other has been written about Eranos, conceivably like multiple of the doctrine on hand and discussed were heretic and not in line similar to "precise" and rationalist pondering as noted by Hakl: "At Eranos, I call together, the tour was blazed for an "different heed history of the twentieth century", even counter to the arrogant claims of stinginess and positivism, population spick and span parents of a mathemathical, mysterious, and remarkably monetary worldview which is out of perceive similar to the public and in which the "gods" are these days stun." (p. xii)
