Help us find Vio,
the missing webmaster, at
Ghost Hunt.
Top nine reading list - if you're
smart enough to leave alone the noise on Spectral One - after which
one ought stop reading altogether because it's nothing but
trouble:
William Faulkner
Buy
William Faulkner. The greatest
American literary fiction since Poe, if not Steinbeck.
Johann Goethe
Buy Faust:
Part 1
Part 2
Georg Hegel
Buy Hegel's
Phenomenology of Mind.
D. H. Lawrence
Buy:
Women in Love
The Virgin and the Gypsy
Thomas Mann
Buy Thomas Mann's
Doctor Faustus.
Abraham Maslow
Buy
Motivation and Personality.
Shakespeare - the power of creation wearing writing for
a
veil such that s-he, they, all as one and
not, here
secrete the essence of art. Nor think
you that Vio,
the webmaster, need be confused by all the
identities which greatness demands to be played.
Only read what nonsense fair Viola must
endure in
What You Will (Twelfth
Night). Buy
What You Will.
Tibetan Book of the Dead (Bardo
Thodol) Buy.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Buy
Democracy in America.
Lightweights ever hovering about:
-
Albert Einstein (action figure
available)
- When in doubt about much of anything,
ask Al ― relates well to just about everything. Were this
paragon of human being more regarded many troubles in the world
would evaporate. Which may be why we're limited to only 10% of
our brain capacity. Anyway, the only preparatory course required
for Einstein is Giving a Shit, Actually 101. Buy
Relativity by Einstein.

- Father
- Who on one occasion during my
adolescence thought I had told a lie. Dishonesty being one of
the things my father cannot brook, I received the most severe
disciplining of my entire childhood. That I hadn't lied, but
only appeared to, is both beyond and central to the point. The
correcting I got was sufficient to cause me to spend my life
examining truth - as like the greater phenomenon amidst which
phenomena occur - and being too honest for my own good. Now look
at us. There are at least two people in the world who find the
lie as impossible to bear as the truth, and they don't agree on
a lot, or appear to not.

Jesus
- And what historical American better
exemplifies one aspect of the principle of the first coming last
and the last coming first, the phenomenon of sacrifice that
returns a thousand-fold to others, and being pitted with next to
nothing in nourishment against impossible odds, than George
Washington, forced to retreat and retreat again, wise though
looking a fool, then giving up a part as monarch on life's stage
unto actualities so much greater that few could, and yet cannot,
guess? More importantly, Jesus either rose from death or not. Such is not
but the greatest story ever told in every aspect. It is a question that
nothing short of the origin of creation can match in importance and priority of
understanding.

Michelangelo Buonarroti
- Who shall conceive, much less perform,
largely alone, the painting of a ceiling, every day for three
years, on one's back? Not a few. And yet Mich makes a lot of
artists, musicians and writers look like wannabe privileged,
spoiled children more interested in easy life and looking hip
than art, music or writing. Nor for but the Sistine alone. For
instance, he spent as much time on theory and the implications
of his work as he did performing it. Very well compensated, but
no fly-by-night producing instant pieces of self-glory.
Buy the classic by Vasari,
The Lives of the Artists. Or the classic biographical novel,
The Agony
and the Ecstasy, by Irving Stone.
-
- Mother
- Who took us to the library every week
as children, and showed me the Beatitudes. (Now look at us.)
-
-
Wolfgang Mozart
- Definitely not Mich. But when you
connect with Genius instant pieces can become gravestones far
exceeding other lack thereat. Why else would Al play secretary?
If you happen to be listening at this moment you're at the right
place. Buy Mozart:
Complete Concertos
Complete Symphonies
Sister
What Hegel meant by dialectic. Agreeing
to disagree and disagreeing to agree, she says "north" and I
"south" toward a future equator that has always already been. When
it comes to the unknown greater we would all likely agree would we
only see through the small stuff. Spontaneous creativity,
generosity though her own well be empty, knowledge with wisdom,
wit all too sensible of the logical, thus ridiculous, passion
fearing not a swords match even with the likes of Captain Quill -
this nonpretender unique is dialogue insofar as she thinks herself
not above love.
Socrates
The capacity to see both sides of
everything, thus the larger, can be bad for one's health (though
good for 19th century philosophy: Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche,
and 20th century physics). One would that he hung around in more
places than libraries, and that some who've read Plato weren't so
quick with their own boxes of certainty, judgment and hemlock. Buy
Plato, the whole Big Bang.
Solomon
And punctuality (Ecclesiastes 3),
which is the only "aim" of this website. Buy a
King James Bible.
Pontius Pilate
Who said, "What is truth?" then went out
to deal with the world of noise. There being safety in numbers all
alike, most were certain that they knew much about God, and that a
"blasphemer" in their midst needed to be taught an enormously
cruel lesson. A few authorities, however, simply liked their
comfortable lifestyle, "authority" then, as now, more generally
purchased than actual. Truth be damned to keep it, and human being
as replica be praised. Proverbially caught between Charybdis and
Scylla, not to mention the caesar, what to do? Keep the peace via
the sacrifice of one, in whom he found no guilt, or hold to truth
with consequences rather worse?
Rolling Stones
Shop for Rolling Stones.
Don't play Simon Says. If you happen to
be listening at this moment you're at the right place.
This much said, there are ghosts, und
ein Geist, who the greater they are means the less
acknowledgement they can receive, ignorance precluding
appreciation.
