Inheritance

Thai ( หนุมาน ) iconography of Hanuman ( हनुमान् ) From the Ramakien ( รามเกียรติ์ ) Inheritance | Friday – May 22, 2026 I nheritance is one fairly controversial subject, especially in the wake of multiculturalism ... The fact is of course that the issue or matter of inheritance, depending on your view, tends to vary across cultures: in some cultures there is indeed and has indeed been, at least for some time, a practice of dividing up the inheritance across each eligible member, in a "fair" or egalitarian way, but in many cultures this is simply not the practice today nor was it in the past.      First of all, let us understand the matter of inheritance from a purely Western and action oriented point of view : in the West, the political objective of egalitarianism makes a lot of claims for itself , but it is true though, that Christendom has a practice of dividing the inheritance between men and women equally, and to that extend it would perhaps be quite right to invok...

One Year Anniversary! | FREESTYLE

Ethereal Insights Logotype 🙏 जब जागो तब सवेरा 🙏 One Year Anniversary! Thursday – May 21, 2026 T his will be a little bit of a different post, if you will, because I have now been writing posts on this page ( this blog ) for a year, and I believe that it would be a good idea to celebrate this, just a little bit. Yes, I believe in small celebrations and that certainly includes this webpage, because there is really nothing to celebrate when you look at the grand scheme of things: the world is more depraved in 2026 than what it was in 2025; yes every new cycle around the Sun this world only gets more and more depraved, and 2026 is just another record, and 2025 was the previous record holder. So please excuse me if I come off as serious today and every other day, because these are serious matters, and if you wish to read more about serious matters then I am now directing you to my " Religion & Metaphysics " label/category.     That is right, I have been writing these blog ...

Mechanism

Garuda ( गरुड ) according to Ida Made Tlaga ( អ៊ីដា ម៉ាដេ ត្ឡាហ្គា ) Mechanism | Wednesday – May 20, 2026 B eware of the claim that any system that can be described and defined in quantitative terms is a perfect, symmetric, and/or closed system – beware of the mechanization of the mind !      While mathematics may seem quite symmetrical, or at any rate it seems that the mechanism of mathematics tends towards symmetry, but the argument against this, read " Naturalism and Its Confused Opponents ", is that humans seek symmetry, they seek meaning and beauty , in the meaningless and the inscrutable . Therefore, it seems quite natural for men to seek some kind of explanation, or more to the point some kind of resolution, and this was the point of beauty and the wonders of the enchantment, but since all of this has been lost in the solidification of the world, there is none of that essential in life left, almost none; instead men wager that their mechanical and material explanat...

Competition

Garuḍa ( गरुड ) devouring Nāga ( नाग ), at Wat Phra Kaew ( วัดพระแก้ว ) Competition | Tuesday – May 19, 2026 C ompetition, why not? Well, because not! No, that is not the right answer, but yes you may ask why competition is good or why it is bad. The truth about competition is actually quite easy to understand from very primitive intuition alone, really almost a kind of induction really, because after all competition is truly the inversion of the metaphysical order of things  in action, because any man that is truly elevated above the frail, so to speak, simply will not engage in the bickering and the hysteria of ordinary people, read " Politics ". A truly qualified  man will not engage in the capering or quite frankly men with low mentality, because competition is above all a kind of manipulation: men who believe in competition tend to be very ignorant and stupid, because they lack the simplest and most primitive set of skills necessary to interact with nature in any way ...
