Mood and dream foreshadow the ideal effectiveness of our soul on behalf of ourselves and others. They indicate for us, each in its own way, that an operational soul is…
Sechsundvierzig kurze Gedichte die auch einladen zum Nachdenken.
Ein langes Gedicht, 152 Verse. Wir als moderne Menschen werden vom Dichter beschrieben, erklart und ermutigt auf der Suche nach sinnvollem Dasein.
While a science predicts future events in terms of the past it is said to be an extinct science. A live science on the other hand, with which we are…
Essays of a few pages only, easy to read but contemporary all the same, which is to say: personal discovery tours undertaken for the purpose of sharing new insights (on…
Sometimes, just by reflecting upon our own immediate behaviour, we make odd observations that lead to personal truths which may interest those who are convinced that we get ahead by…
We may be familiar with the concept 'eternal life' and we may wonder how such life compares with our daily existence from time to time. We may also be familiar…
These live sciences, like the present one, are works of transition from development to evolution. When a human being evolves he has to cope somehow with the fact that 'everything…
This play is called a spoof because it undercuts a few customs and conventions, often in a humorous vein, but it is not a parody or a satire. The underlying…
Some of the themes followed up in this discursive essay:
Our mind, visible or invisible - thought as responsible activity both human-natural and spiritual - true thought - knowing the…
Achtundsechzig Verse, persoenlich, leicht verstandlich, sinnvoll anregend.
A play in five acts which explores in a lifelike manner the roots of modern drama in comparison to contemporary drama.
We reflect on our youth and try to imagine what we have learned since then. Whatever our ambitions in life, if we decide to dedicate ourselves to the truth, youth…
Poems that create a passage from the ego or self to the free personality. This transsformation is depicted by each poem and also by all the poems as a series…
The son-father relation is capable of a variety of dimensions. In relation to home-land and mother country changes are at times imposed upon us, whereupon we rethink a few values…
Esoteric elements of knowledge, or esoterica, are derived from a direct impersonation of the divine afflatus. What we can make out in terms of such knowledge would fit on the…
Not the world, that mythic entity, but real world, endless world, affects us mysteriously. Its effect on us is sacramental, even in childhood, when we have not yet begun to…
The cosmos, as described here, is the understood communal world and our position in it. It has nothing to do with the supposed beginning, middle and end of the modern…
Incarnate spirit is with us and invites us to evolve for eternal life on earth. It does this at times when we least expect it. We may also know it…
One hundred pages, each page carefully crafted to help make sense of some aspect of the world. One growth-cycle, that arrives, step by step, at a new insight, a new…
These are not abstract studies but demonstrations of where gender resides, how it begins and where it leads. The reader allow himself to become involved in the process and discovers…
Symbolic thought presented as a series of 310 quintains.
An Elegy in eleven parts. The language is straightforward, the thought is precise and the feeling mature.
Sixteen concentrated, thought-provoking prose pieces treating a variety of topics.
The important essays are 'An Irrational Ethic' and 'Emotion and emotions'. 'The Nerve' is a bit of a lark. 'An Imaginative Proposal' is an intentionally naive comparison of the European…
The reader is invited to experience and understand an aspect of the transition from modern to contemporary in terms of a governed population. What is described is how growth becomes…
Morphology is the study of our virtues, but also a description of these virtues in action and the knowledge of their effects. I intend that this book should continue immediately…
We are modern to the extent that we understand the world as tragically flawed but we resist the truth that would allow us to construct our world after the manner…
These verses are taken from the book: Physiology - the Live Science. They document the same growth cycle that is demonstrated by that book.
Method and world, for all practical intents and purposes, are really interchangeable terms; one without the other is inconceivable. Just as we have no conception, no experience of world, no…
I distinguish between modern poetry and contemporary poetry. In this book I discuss and demonstrate what I mean by the latter. One characteristic, perhaps the main one, of contemporary poetry…
If we take the light by which we see too much for granted, we may find ourselves lost in the dark, so that we may learn to value it properly…
A few short (minimalist) treatments of some everyday notions. The reader is invited to derive some satisfaction from having his visual field limited to a regular five or six lines…
Four short prose pieces, exploring the two sides of our nature, both human and otherwise. A bit surprising at times, then somewhat thoughtful, lastly 'with tender loving care'.
I draw attention to the organic evolution of this work. The titles of the four sections give a hint. We are instinctively touched by human-natural affection. This will at first…
The author is only marginally concerned with what happens in the schoolroom. Towards the end there is emphasis on art-work as an aspect of parenting. Education and schooling are discussed…
This essay is an attempt to give those something to aim for who painfully experience the increasing disconnect between, on one side, the never-ending struggle for national self-sufficiency and for…
In an important sense this is a therapeutic book, in that it encourages us to face up to our existential fear while showing us how to go about fearing what…
A series of one hundred contemporary poems of varying length written in 1980. A quotation from the twenty-fifth poem indicates the nature of the poems: "These are ... proud words…
A critique of society as environment There is the society that prepares us for community, but there is also the society that rejects community. In this essay we hope to…
Conversation, when honestly cultivated, can lead to discoveries. When two or three of us get together in the spirit of truth, we may also find something out about ourselves that…
Poems written during a time when unexpected changes occurred in the author's life - which is not to say that misfortune necessarily produces better poetry - except if courageously borne…
These two essays, although they were written separately, not even in the same year, are thematically related, in that they both pertain to the resurrectional process. 'They' describes what we…
The education of children with regard to growth takes account of growth as necessary and unavoidable. We either cooperate with it creatively and thrive or we ignore and resist it…
This poetry addresses itself to the changing visage of the past, specifically the 'modern' past two millennia, in terms of contemporary sensibility. The accent is on mystic perception and the…
Poems of thoughtful feeling. Not to be read for the magic of the rhyme, or for the form of the content but line by line, as though each line might…
