A Pencil, a treat…
It’s been a while since my last post, and it seems that so much has occurred since just on a month ago. I won’t go into details here. The purpose of this post is to reflect on the wonderful world of writing instruments – in this case a pencil crafted as a functional piece of…

Respecting Religion
When I hear comments such as ‘respect my religion’, I ask myself ‘why should I!?’ These are some of the considerations and questions I have before respect and support can be given: Does the ‘religion’ encourage truth? Does it contribute to personal, individual, inner freedom? Does it promulgate love and compassion? Does it encompass critical…

The Daily Bell does it again!
Perhaps I am far more libertarian than I realise, or perhaps the past ten years under a State government that has seen the erosion of individual liberties fallen far more than anyone could have imagined, or perhaps it is the destructive elements being promulgated by our Australian Federal government over the past few years that…

Reflections on The Secret of the Tarot by Robert Swiryn
Having received a copy of Robert’s book last week, I took it along whilst camping for a few days. I have to admit that the subtitle had me a little concerned: ‘How the story of the Cathars was concealed in the Tarot of Marseilles’. This seems to be a claim that periodically raises its head,…

On a new Palestinian State
The PLO is seeking support for a new Palestinian State. Personally, I don’t see any problem with this, as long as it genuinely seeks for the proposed state to be a workable model. To this end, its surrounding countries need to be willing to cede small regions of their territory to allow for the formation…

Tarot interview
In case anyone’s interested: www.tarotguild.com/events/tarot-today-radio-jeanmichel I’ll probably add other comments ‘post-event’ to this very entry… Interview went well enough… except that the software which recorded it totally corrupted the audio file (hmmm… perhaps there was feedback that showed I have posted against Adobe’s Flash). … so I guess it’s back to the drawing board!

Australian ‘Greens’ – what an unfortunate stinking joke
OK – I’ll admit it. I too was conned in the past and in fact in a number of previous State and Federal elections voted, as second or even first preference, Greens. This was before Adam Bandt proved, by both his actions and his involvements, that the various rumours that had been circulating with regards…

Why I voted NO to Labor in Victorian State election
Perhaps I should begin by coming out clean with regards to my own political leanings – and ‘leanings’ are all they are. I tend towards individual liberalism with a ‘social conscience’. In practical terms, this means that there are a number of areas in which, over the course of the history of Australian political parties,…

Hey, UNESCO! Rachel’s Tomb in Israel is NOT a mosque!
This is just another step showing how dysfunctional UNESCO and the UN in general have become. To classify Rachel’s Tomb in Israel as a mosque shows that it has become no more than a rubber stamp for islamicists. It’s about time that nations spoke clearly about the fundamental failure of the high ideals that UNESCO…
