Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Inner Turmoil | Thursday – September 10, 2026 F acing inner turmoil is always difficult, and in this post, this 9th part of this series , that is what I am going to explore. Of course, this may be a sensitive matter for many readers, and I can see why. I can also see why some people would gather that this is not a sensitive subject. Now, I should add that I have covered the issue of inner turmoil to a limited extent already in this post . I am making this post because I have decided to answer one of my readers' letters, and this particular letter is highly sensitive and highly personal, and because of this I have decided to reveal as little as possible about this person, but more on this later.     As you may or may not know, if you have been reading this series, I tend to write quite a bit before I get around to address the letter at hand, and so I will do today, although I will attempt to shorten the that...

Cave Paintings, Cueva de las Manos, Argentina Does Tribe Matter? Wednesday – September 9, 2026 T ribalism continues to define human conflict, even if certain people claim to be mere "individuals", and tribalism is quite ancient.* Now, let us not confuse what moderns refer to as "tribalism" with the importance of the tribe.

What has the point of the entire postwar period been, if not to prevent the horrors of war and of deceit ? It seems to me that individuation serves quite the opposite goal, and besides, no man could survive on his own without the trib...

Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of the Goddess Chandi ( चण्डी ) In her Chamunda Form ( चामुण्डा ) Medication | Tuesday – September 8, 2026 M edications, medicine, and curing diseases , are on my mind, again, and for a good reason, and I suppose that this is not the first time... At any rate, today people are taking all sorts of medications for conditions that are diffuse and abstract, almost bizarre to say the least. Take the issue of psychic conditions that people receive medications for: why are they taking medications, are the medications supposed to actually cure anything? Of course, more often than not these kinds of medications, again particularly when it comes to the mind, are taken never to cure the conditions at hand, but to treat the condition at hand, because profane science has deemed that the condition while not being terminal, is still rather incurable and chronic, and to mention of example of this we would do good by studying such things as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Dis...
