The trouble is that information doesn’t nourish us. Worse, in the end, it turns out to be boring. -q – Knowledge has a point when we start to find and make connections, to weave stories out of it, stories through which we make sense of the world and our place within it. -q – And if there is an antidote to boredom, it is not information but meaning. -q

1. Schooling
2. Medical assistant int he Franco-Prussian War
3. Professorship and resignation
4. A ‘wonderer’of the earth; insanity.) B. The Death of God (1. Belief in absolute truth and value is untenable.
5. Creation of values by man
6. ‘A will to power and self-overcoming’) C. The genealogy of morals. (1. The dismissal of universal values (Both from religion and from reason See ON THE GENEALOGY OF MORALS)
7. The concept of ressentiment (a. The weak get jealous of the power b. Christianity turns ‘traditional’ morality on it’s head ( 1) as in The meek shall inhearite the earth.)
8. The Noble Man

10. ON THE THREE METAMORPHOSES (a. The camel- a long disipline b. The lion - a fierse rebellion c. the child- a new beginning)
11. Becoming who you are good= nobel =powerful=beautiful=happy=beloved of god -p. 147 -q … Civilization and its discontents… Freud’s thesis is that the growth of civilization required man to deny expression to many of his most basic instincts, which accordingly turned inward and found their expression in various neuroses and mental conflicts. -p. 149 -q Christianity was thus the greater leveler, a harbinger of the ‘herd mentality’ that Nietzsche condemns in democracy and socialism. -p. 149 -q … Christanity which Nietzsche called Platonism for the people… -p. 152 -q Ultimately, the only way to overcome nihilism is to embrace the loss of any fixed point of reference. Bereft of all certainties, man must rely upon his own will to create goals and values for himself that will give meaning to his life. He must learn to will, to want, and to love. -p. 155 -q Thomas Kuhn, 20th c., m., philosopher. Wrote THE STRUCTURE OF SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS -p. 157 -f This beautiful parable [On the three metamorposes] is at the core of Nietzsche’s thought. He considers art and philosophy (and to a lesser extent science) to be mans highest activities because they engage the human spirit in imposing order on, and infusing value into, the world. -p. 158 -q He [the noble man] throws off secondhand thoughts and secondhand values and reconstructs his life around his own aspirations and desires. -p. 160 -q Life itself can be an experiment for the seeker of knowledge. -p. 162 -q ‘Become who you are’ -Nietzsche -p. 160 -q Heidegger considers Being to be the most general, and at the same time, most elusive of concepts, one that cannot be reduced to, or defined in terms of, entities or substances or processes or events. -p. 210 -q Martin Heidegger, 20th century, m, philospher. -Born in Messkirch, educated in catholic schools. - Became a private lecturer. -A supporter of the Nazi party. Attempted to give national socialism a philosophical underpinning. -p. -f Heidegger spent much of his time there [in his hut], reading, skiing, thinking, and writing… [it] became a place where… life ‘appears to the mind as something pure, simple and immense.’ -p. 206 -q The contents [of BEING AND TIME] would have given her [Heidegger’s mother] little consolation; the book argues that confronting the nothingness and inevitability of death is what gives authenticity to life. -p. 206 -q Heidegger wants to recapture a sense of wonder and astonishment at the sheer Being of beings, at the fact that there is something rather than nothing. That sense of wonder should not be dissipated in false and nonsensical explanations about the grounds and essence of Being. the fact of existence, in the midst of the possibility of nothingness, is itself what is so astonishing. -p. 211 -q Christianity tells us that the essence of Being is god, the eternal, immutable, and immaterial first cause and highest good of all beings. -p. -q Husserl’s logical investigations. -p. 212 -f …thoughts, sensations, and desires… -p. 212 -q In some ways, Dasein serves a function similar to that of the Cartesian ‘self’ in Husserl. -p. 212 -q Dasein exhists in a particular place at ta particular point in time with a web of relations to things and to other people. -p. 213 -q We cannot view the world from the standpoint of eternity. Nor can we reduce the world to our own consciousness. There is no premise-free beginning from which we can analyze either self or object. -p. 214 -q Dasein dwells in the world of shared social practices and skills. -p. 215 -q Dasein is the clearing in the phenomenon (objects, thoughts, feelings, or other people) disclose themselves to us. -p. 212 -q It calls to mind Samuel Johnson, who kicked a stone and stated, ‘Thus, I refute Berkeley.’ Johnson was affirming common sense. -p. 214 -q Together, idle talk, for which there is nothing that is not understood, and curiosity, for which nothing is closed off, leads Desein to feel ‘at home’. They minimize our ‘distantiality’, our feeling of uneasiness and uncanniness… -p. 220 -q Proust. Author of IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME. -p. 221 -f Their [a penal code/morality] origins lie instead in altogether human concepts of retribution and revenge. -p. 146 -q The religious person is an exception in every religion. -p. 147 -q

Read 2015-10. Grade B. -r Religion is built on authority, which could be wrong. Science is built on the senses, which could be wrong. Mathematics and logic are built on reason, which could be wrong. -p. 86 -q … a few things become clear beyond all doubt to al-Ghazali: first, God is real; second, at our innermost point we are connected to God (in other words, the soul is immortal); and third, od wants something of us, namely, for us to be and do good. -p. 89 -q Once you accept that pleasure and pain are the ultimate guides to action… -p. 87 -q … derangement of the sences… -p. 89 -q Admittedly, when discussing immersion in the divine, we’re in far over our heads. -p. 91 -q We’re presented with a paradox that is an invitation to the inmost experience of the universe. We’re presented with a holy poem. -p. 94 -q … the final moment involves turning to ritual practice in order to sustain in our fallible lives the infinate truth that we’re been entrusted with. In the case of love, this tends to mean marriage. -p. 94 -q Science in the yellow snowmobile helmet will neer be able to enter into what being alive is about. -p. 96 -q What is philosophy or religion - or human life for that matter - but the attempt to relate to the meaningful hugeness revealed in such experiences without sounding or acting like a total fool, at our best with a touch of style? -p. 98 -q It occurs to him [Descartes] that the support beam of almost all our beliefs is the senses. he first muted doubt 9the doubt of the first meditation builds into a kind of intellectual crescendo) is that the senses sometimes deceives us: for instance, we see water on the road, which proves in actuality to be a mirage. -p. 103 -q In the beginning stages of human life, we accept the basis of culture on authority. Then, when we go deeper into the ultimate, we find that reason blanks at its sunlight intensity, and we must utilize the mirrors of myth, symbol, and ritual to picture it. Certainly, this usual relationship to the divine still holds to picture it. -p. 116 -q Pascal sums up our condition in three words: ‘Inconstancy, bordom, anxiety’ - a striking outline of the problem of being human. -p. 122 -q ‘Wretchedness’ is Pascal’s shorthand for that part of the human condition he analyzes with the terms ‘anxiety,’ ‘diversion,’ ‘bordom,’ ‘inconstancy,’ and ‘vanity. -p. 127 -q A sensible religion is absurd because human nature is anything but sensible. In short, Pascal thinks that Christianity, the most scandalous of all religions, is our only hope. Islam and Judaism makes too much sense. I can only imagine what he would have made of Unitarianism. -p. 133 -q ‘Man’s greatness comes from knowing he is wretched,’ in Pascal’s fine phrase. We stand a much better chance of winning hte forgiveness game than the law game. Yet forgiveness can take place only within a context of the law. -p. 134 -q Christianity is, as I said, a religion that stretches credulity. To be a Christian is to belive any number of paradoxes: that true morality appears in the context of immorality, that god is human, that power is expressed in suffering, and that this human God, uttering the famous cry of abandonment on the cross, is something of an athiest. -p. 135 -q

And the brief time in which civilization explodes onto the scene. All that great volume of time was necessary for the photons rushing at light speed to reach us tonight as we gaze into the galaxy’s center. -p. 59-60 -q The human is the space creatd in the universe process for hearing and celebrating the stories of the universe that fill the universe. -p. 66 -q The ancient astronomers, the first cosmologists, and the shamanic storytellers often old their stories at night. The concerns of the day, however important they might seem in the sunlight, usually amount to nothing more than unwelcome distractions in the night when the great story is told in the glow from the fire’s embers and Moon’s jouney through the branchd shadows of the trees. -p. 68 -q To tell the story of the birthplace of the universe is to tell the story of Eintein… But here is the strange thing. How can I tell the story of the universe without first speaking of Einstein, for he is a fountainhead of the story of the universe as a whole? Einstein can be seen as a power that destroys one world and creates another… No one in the entire world at that time could understand the reality of the Einstein-event. p. 70 -q More precisely: galaxies twice as far apart are sailing away from each other twice as fast. Galaxis ten times as far apart sail away ten times as fast… we find an event of cataclysmic energy where all trillion galaxies are brought into a single ineffable point, the birthplace of the universe, the iniial singularity of space-time, the center of the universe. -p. 76 -q The idea that the universe began in one place is certainly an ancient one in human history. The image of a birthplace of the universe occurs in the mythical and classical forms of consciousness, and possibly even earlier. -p. 76 -q Thus, the scientific discovery [of the beginning of the universe] has this dual nature of being both old [stories of creation] and new [the big bang] simultaneously… The aim is not to eliminate one way of knowing in favor of another; the aim in an ultimate sense is an integral understanding of the universe grounded in both the scientific empirical detail and in our primordial poetic visions of the cosmos. -p. 77 -q Instead, I want to remember that humans have a variety of paths to the truth and when these various of paths to the truth and when these various routes arrive at a common consensual knowledge we have he possibility of a story of the universe that can guide us as a whole species as we enter a new millennium. -p. 79 -q Earth is one planet moving around one start, which in turn is one of the three hundred billion stars of the Milky Way Galaxy, which in turn is one of a trillion galaxies in the wide universe. -p. 80 -q Space and ime erupt together with mass and energy in he pre\imordial mystery of the universe’s flaring forth. -. 85 -q

Having the constant luxury and responsibility to make a choice is part of the human condition. Why? Because no matter what your situation is, you choose that situation. -p. 159 -q When we’re born, we’re simply there, no reason or meaning. -p. 165 -q So by saying that existence precedes essence, Sartre means that human beings exist - are born and are conscious of their lives - before they ‘are’ anything. -p. 164 -q If God doesn’t esist, no eternal, objective measure of value exists, and nothing has any inherent meaning. This doesn’t mean, however, that life has no meaning or value at all. It’s just that every meaning and value is a human meaning or a human value. And because human beings have no human nature and no inherent values or meaning, we’re constantly creating those human meanings and values. -p. -q The only measure of what a person is capable of is what she actually does… Therefore, you’re no more than the sum of your actions. -p. -q

She then progresses to her puttering phase - listening to the radio while she waters the plants, doing some light housekeeping or sewing,, filing papers or taking care of minor household repairs. After a light breakfast, Melissa might tend the garden or start baking a few loaves of bread, followed by some time on her computer, either writing letters, organizing recipies, or helping out a local charitable organization by entering data on spreadsheets for them. By late morning, melissa takes off on her bicycle to visit family or fiends, go to the library (where she spends time on personal research projects), or run errands. Lunch and dinner are usually simple one-dish affairs made from scratch. She spends her afternoons and evenings either taking care of her friend’s daughter or working on whatever I might be interested in […]. I go to bed fairly early and usually read again until I get tired. It’s a low-key life but very satisfying for me.’ - p. 192 -q I think that a bicycle is the essence of simple, effective technology. there’s very little to learn about riding or maintaining one, and much of that is readily aparaent. -188 -q

Grade C. -r I reflected on what a bunch of spoiled brats we twenty-first-century humans are. -q … setbacks can be contagious, much as diseases are. -q One sign of maturity is a realization of the extent to which you, either intentionally or unintentionally, make life difficult for those around you. -q .. people who have demonstrated the ability to rise, quietly and bravely, to the challenges presented by significant setbacks. -q “We cannot always control what happens in our life . . . , but we can always control what we do with what happens.” - Alison Botha -q -q For everything I do, there will be a last time I do it. You might think these are dark and depressing thoughts, but they can have just the opposite effect. They can help us transform our ability to speak from something we take completely for granted into what it in fact is—something remarkable and precious. -q When the number of options available is limited, it is foolish to fuss and fret. We should instead simply choose the best of them and get on with life. To behave otherwise is to waste precious time and energy. -q “Keep calm and carry on.” -q The politicians’ message: “Bad and stupid people have set you back. Vote for me, and I will make things right.” -q … referring to them not as targets of injustice but as its victims. -q negative visualization: imagining ways in which our lives could be worse. -f Besides the obvious challenge of finding a workaround for a setback, we face a second challenge: preventing ourselves from experiencing negative emotions in the aftermath of that setback. -q Stoics recommend that when we experience a setback, we make a point of consciously framing it as a kind of test… If you remain calm and collected, you will be worthy of, say, a B. If your goal is to get an A or even an A+ on the exam, though, you will have to do more than remain calm; you will have to welcome the setback and even perk up a bit on its appearance. -q Because I have read his works, Seneca haunts my intellect, occasionally offering me a compliment but much more often raising his ghostly eyebrows at me in a look of dismay. -q “I would argue, from a cultural point of view, it’s more important to praise the people for the nine times they fail than for the one time they succeed.” - Severin Schwan, CEO of Roche Holding AG -q Negative visualization involves thinking about how things could be worse; toughness training involves causing things to be worse. -q It might then dawn on you that what you previously thought of as hunger wasn’t biological hunger at all; it was instead a psychological mélange of boredom and discontent. -q … be sure to notice the sky: it didn’t have to be blue, but it is, and isn’t that wonderful? -q His [a stoics] primary goal in life is to attain and then maintain tranquilityAnother central principle of Stoicism is that we should be socially useful -q

We become part of hte dance of the sacred - the danceof that system of interactions in the universe and society that brought us into being, that sustains us in our living, and that continually transforms us as part of the ever changing future. -p. 51 -q If we regard ideas as tools to help us get around in the world, we might say that he sciences and various religions offer different maps of the same world. -p. 52 -q In most of these understandings of ruach, it seems that hte Spirit of God is related to the kind of energy o force which on the one hand sustains life and on the other hand disturbs an esisting state of affairs. -p. 58 -q For Greek-speaking thinkers, philosophers such as the Stoics and Platonists, logos signified not only word but also the reason of the universe… If we are in tune… with the Word that signifies the hidden structures of life’s posibilities, we will discover new stable patterns - new ways of acting, thinking, and feeling. -p. 59 -q According to the people who study the evolution of morality from a scientific perspective, we have biological propensities to look out for ourselves, to help others if we think we will be heped in return (reciprocal altruism) and to act for the benefit of family, even to the point of self=sacrifice (kin altruism). -p. 62 -q Early Christians developed the metaphore that each follower of Jesus was a member of the ‘body of Christ,’ and the ritual of the Eucharist or Communion made participation in that ‘body’ tangible. -p. 63 -q We all have intrinsic value, which means each of us in our natural family is deserving of respect and care. -p. 65 -q We need to seek another kind of fulfillment, one that is consistent witht he Taoist notion of a divine dance that goes nowhere in particular but yet brings great joy and satisfaction in a fullness of living. Instead of talking about fulfillment, we might talk about ‘fill-fullment,’ living richly in the present moment. -p. 87 -q … the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generocity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. -p. 93 -q How then can we live more at peace with ourselves and more in tune with our social and natural worlds? … see our sacred center… -p. 97 Religions have different names for what I am calling our sacred center. It is efered to as Soul, Spirit, Christ Nature, … Buddha Nature… These names point to a stte of mind that is centered, calm, creative, and compassionate - present fully in the mooment for oneself and for others… The self is thus the mindful observer of all that is happening. -p. 99 -q

We know now that the Bible is a small library of books composed over a period of about one thousand years between 1000 BCE and 135 CE. Many of the biblical books did not have a single author. Some of them were edited and re-edited over a period of time as long a period of time as five hundred years before they reached the form in which they found inclusion in the Bible. -8 -q I am not the enemy of the Bible.

…the reassessment of Christianity that I seek to develop… -p. 8 -q The primary apologietic task facing the Christian church today is that of separating the extraneous from the essential, the timeless God-experience from the tie-wared God-explanations of the ast. -p. 12 -q …athletic arenas and spors stadiums. To these secular cathedrals… -p. 33 -q To be human is to experience self-consciousness, to know separation, to be made aware of limits, and to contemplate ends. -p. 38 -q Theism was created by frightened self-aware humans to assist them inn the task of banking the fires of hysteria brought on by the trauma of self-consciousness, the shock of nonbeingg. -p. 45 -q When they level he accusation that these challenges threaten their religious security, it is clear that truth is not their primary goal. -p. 58 -q I speak rather of the God I experience as the Ground and Source of All Being and therefore the presence that calls me to step beyond every boundary, inside which I vainly seek dependent security, into the fullness of life with all of its ehilarating insecurities. -p. 60 -q These Jews, our spiritual ancetors, understood that every human image of God including the prevailing theistic one, would finally be inadequate. -p. 60 -q How could any being name the source and Ground of All Being? -p. 60 -q … erected idols out of our words and then claimed for these words the ability to define the holy God -p. 60 -q … as if human beings could figure out who or what God is… it is rather the attempt to define our human experience of God. -p. 61 -q God was seen as the source of liffe - the depth, the meaning, the experience of life. -p. 69 -q When I try to describe this reality, words fail me; so I simply utter the name God. -p. -71 -q It [God] is a symbol of that which is immortal, invisible, timeless. -p. 71 -q Was that enigmatic answer [God as I am] the ancient biblical writers way of suggesting that God is nnot a being, but Being itself? -p. 72 -q To worship this God you must be willing to risk all abandoning your defenses and your self-imposed or culturally constructed security systems. -p. 73 -q Ultimately, it is in the act of living, loving and being that we go beyonnd the boundaries of our existence and know transcendence, otherness, and eternity. It is in that moment, Iam coninced, that the God beyond theism - the God tillich described as the God beyond the gods of men and women - beings to come into focus. -p. 73 -q The point is that in Paul we have the earliest extant undisputed witness to the Jesus-story. -p. 87 -q Marks gospel would thus be demonstrated to be not a biography at all, as many have supposed, but a liturgical text that later god misinterpreted as a story of history and biography.. that is what later readers of Marks gospel, who did not undertand his use of Jewish symbols, literalized. -p. 95 -q …gifts that helped Matthews audience to interprete Jesus as matthe intended: gold, the gift for a King; frankincense, the gift for a diety; and myrrh, to symbolize a life of suffering ad death (Matt. 2.11). -p. 98 -q Matthew then decided to expand Marks story so that he could cover the entire Jewish calendar with Christian readinngs. -p. 99 -q …problems with this understanding of atonement… a strange image of God… fetish… with blood… [and] there never was a perfect and copleted creation -p. 123-124 -q Neither perfect nor fallen, they are simply incomplete. -p. 124 -q Tribal boundaries are powerful dividers of human life. -p. 133 -q The Bible also portrays Jesus as one who is journeyimg beyond the barriers of human prejudice. -p. 133 -q But he [Jesus] sees a human bein in need, and he responds immediately. -p. 134 -q All people seek the path of wholeness into a new humanity. That was the message of Jesus. To empower people to enter into and to grasp that wholeness and to become that new humanity was his apparent purpose. -p. 137 -q Jesus is a God-presence, a doorway, an open chanel. -p. 145 -q I see him [Jesus] as a portrait of divinity into which a full humanity inevitably flows, not as the incarnation of a supernatural external diety on a divine mission of rescue. -p. 147 -q …babies are born with a loudspeaker on one end and no sence of responsibility on the other. -p. 150 -q Christianity began with the claim that the reality of God had been experienced through the life of a particular human being. -p. 151 -q … we are not fallen cretures so much as we are incomplete creatures. -p. 159 -q For the Christianity story to be complete the body of Christ - the community of believers - must play the redemptive role in transforming life inside human history. -p. 167 -q … church… play the role of the rescuer reaching out to those who aear to be posessed ones… The primary task of the faith community is to assist in the creation of wholeness - nnot goodness, but wholeness. -p. 169 -q …illusion of theism - namely, that we are not alone, that there is a personal power somewhere, which is greaater than the limited power of humanity; and that htis personal power ca effectively deal ith all of those issues that lie beyond human commpetence to solve. -p. 191 -q Has it never occurred to the followers of the God met in Jesus that when Jesus promised a “second coming” he might have been speaking not of his own mythological return in the clouds of a theistic heaven, but rather of a second coming of God who is present in each of us? -p. 194 -q If prayer is the act of engaging God and if God is the source of life, then my prayer time became my time of engaging life. -p. 197 -q Preparation time is a time of discovering who I am and who God is within me, so I can live my life out of that knowledge. -p. 198 -q What I seek to do in public liturgy is to enable all of the participannts to begin the journey that will carry them into meanings that liturgical words never capture. -p. 205 -q The task of worship is not to compel devotion to an external God who has invaded our world, but to hold before the world on a regular basis the eternal meaning that we have found in the special life of Jesus, the new being that was revealed through this Christ figure as he endured the climactic event in his life. -p. 211 -q It [worship] wil celebrate life, enhance humanity, call people into being, free people to be themselves, and invite people into a new humanity and a new maturity. -p. 213 -q There [at worship] we will walk together into the meaning of God - the joy, the wonder, the mystery of God - a God not bounded by our formulas, our creeds, our doctrines, our liturgies, or evenn our Bible, but still real, infinitely real. -p. 214 -q The Christians of the theistic past and the Christians of the post-theistic future will be united not by their explanations, but by their experiences, which are finally all we have of the divine. -p. 216 -q We can avoid relivin these destructive and demonic moments of shame in Christian history by keeping our focus off the church and its needs, concentrating instead on the task of proclaiming and expanding the realm of God. -p. 216 -q Yet we human beings cannot know God; we can only experience God. -p. 237 -q

Read 2013-09. Grade B. -r Ch. 7: a discussion of John the Baptist; how Jesus likely began his ministry as a disciple of John; and how the early Christians needed to present Jesus as superior then John. -s Ch. 8: Jesus begins his ministry in Capernaum. -s CH. 11: A discussion on how Jesus may have seen himself (as the Davidic Son of Man); and the “Kingdom of God”. -s CH. 12: A discussion of Jesus’s entry into Jeruselum, and death on the cross for the crime of Sedition. -s CH. 14: Serious tentions between Paul and the Jerusalem community (Paul, James, etc.) -s The notion of history as a critical analysis of obervable and verifiable events int he past is a product of the modern age; it would have been an altogether foreign concept to the gospel writers for whom history was not a matter of uncovering facts, but revealing truths. -p. 21 -q John promised the Jews who came to him a new world order, the Kingdom of God. And while he never developed the concept beyond the vague notion of equality and justice, the promise itself was enough in thosee dark, turbulent times to draw to him a wave of Jews from all walks of life… -p. 82 -q John [the Baptist] is presented not as a member of a community but as a loner, a solitary voice calling out in the wilderness. -p. 85 -q When Jesus was born, Galilee was aflame. His first decade of life coincided with the plunder and destruction of ghe Galilean countryside, his second with its refashioning at the hands of Antipas. -p. 93 -q It would be these people whom Jesus would specifically target those who found themselves cast to the fringes of society, whose lives had been disrupted by the rapid social and economic shifts taking place throughout Galilee… Jesus’s message was designed to be a direct challenge to the wealthy and the powerful, be they the occupiers in Rome, the collaborators in the Temple, or the new moneyed class in the Greek cities of Galilee. The message was simple: the Lord God has seen the suffering of the poor and dispossesed; he had heard their cries and anguish. And he was finally going to do something about it. -p. 96 -q With the Temple in ruins and the Jewish religion made pariah, the Jews who followed Jesus as messiah had an easy decision to make: they could either maintain their cultic connections to their parent religion and share in Rome’s enmity (Rome’s enmity towards Christians would peak much later), or they could divorce themselves from Judaism and tranform their messiah from a fierce Jewish nationalist into a pacifistic preacher of good works whose kingdom was not of this world. -p. 150 -q It was not only fear of Roman reprisal that drove these early Christians… a generation after Jesus’s crucifixion, his non-followers outnumbered and overshadowed the Jewish ones. -p. 150 -q In the gospel of John, written in Ephesus sometime after 100 C.E. … -p. 152 -q As with everything else in the gospels, the story of Jesus’s arrest, trial, and excecution was written for one reason and one reason only: to prove that he was the promised messiah. -p. 154 -q But try as he might, Luke cannot avoid the most basic fact about his messiah: Jesus was executed by the Roman state for the crime of sedition. -p. 156 -q Nothing quite like what these followersof Jesus were contending [the taking of his corpse to an extravagant tomb; and the resurrection] existed at the time… But the concept of an individual dying and rising again, in the flesh, into a life everlasting was extremely rare in the ancient world and practically nonexistent in Judaism. -p. 165 -q … this new,innovative, and thoroughly unorthodox interpretation of the messiah being peddled by a group of illiterate ecstatics whos ecertainty in their message was matched only by the passion with which they preached it. -p. 167 -q As with most converts from the distant Diasppora, he [Stephen] would have abandoned his hometown, sold his posessions, pooled his resources into the community, and made a home for himself in Jerusalem, undder th shadow of the Temple walls. -p. 167 -q The Son of Man, in Stephen’s vision… is, in form and substance, God made flesh. -p. 169 -q The story of the zealous Galilean peasant and Jewish nationalist who donned the mantle of messiah and launched a foolhardy rebellion against the corrupt Temple priesthood and the vicious Roman occupation comes to an abrupt end, not with his death on the cross, nor with the empty tumb, but at the first moment one of his followers dares to suggest the he is God. Stephen [who made this clame] was martyred sometime between 33and 35 C.E. -p. 169 -q James’s steady leadership over the Jerusalem assembly came to an end in 62 C.E., when he was executed by the high priest Ananus… p. 212 -q For in the year 66 C.E., the same year that Jerusalem errupted in revolt, the emperor Nero, reacting to the sudden surge of Christian persecution in Rome, seized Peter and Paul and executed them both for espousing what he assumed was the same faith. -p. 196 -q The twelve will become the principle bearers of Jesus’s message the apostolou, or “ambassadors”… -p. 98 -f Hasmonaeans: ‘priest-kings who rules the land [Galilee] from 140 B.C.E. until the rRoman invasion in 63 B.C.E.’ -p. 91 -f CAPERNAUM: a seaside town in Galilee where Jesus began his ministry. -p. 95 -f CAIAPHAS: the high priest in the Jewish temple during the time of Jesus. - p. 100 -f HEGESIPPUS, 110-180 A.D., Roman.

On some days mere survival—without murdering spouse, children, or pets—seems downright miraculous. -q The whole point of the monastic life is to frame our world so that prayerfulness lies at the very center of the frame. -q … poetic time [is] oriented toward process rather than productivity. -q walking meditation -f When an altar is used, it is regarded as a place of contact with the deity, set apart as holy. -q [An Altar is] a gathering place for my own sacred objects. -q East: the direction of spring, air, birth, and dawn South: summer, fire, youth, midday West: autumn, water, adulthood, twilight North: winter, earth, old age, midnight. -f The only ways to mark the passage of time are the changes in light… -q … reading, the holy lies not in the object, but in the activity and experience of the reader. -q A spiritual practice is any regular, intentional activity that serves to significantly deepen the quality and content of your relationship with the miracle of life. -q Nourishing Wisdom, Marc David writes, ‘Be there when you eat. Achieve the fullest experience of your food. Taste it. Savor it. Pay attention to it. Rejoice in it.’ Eating is a sacred act … -q A prayer for food/grace: ‘I am thankful for the health of my family, for the opportunity to be together in the spirit of love, and for the gift of food.’ -q This atmosphere of celebration usually centered around the question, ‘What new thing did you learn today?’ -q Arguments and heated discussions were not acceptable at the dinner table.Read more at location 2011 -q Reclaiming mealtime is a spiritual discipline when we remember the depth of our own connections to others, to the earth and the elements that help us to grow, and to the divine spark within each of us that ignites around good company and is aflame through the presence of love that is also the substance or grace. -q The things that distinguish all spiritual practices: intentionality, patience, and a willingness to let go of what we want in favor of the gifts we are given. -q There are four aspects to partnering as spiritual practice: engagement, commitment, individuality, and honesty. -q The spiritual numbness of the dominating culture is at the heart of its violence. Overt acts of violence against one another and against the earth emerge from a more covert violence: the loss of our capacities to feel and think. This loss happens through the suppression of the senses, of desire and of feeling; through the exile of pain and grief; and through the silencing of human dependence on one another and the earth. Critical analysis alone will not disempower this culture, nor will it change its effects. We need to recover our abilities to think and feel. Anesthetization needs to end in our lives. -q … a world that is to be stewarded, not abused. -q Richard Gregg is credited with coining the phrase voluntary simplicity. -q … being aware of how things affect our spirits. -q Henry David Thoreau wrote, ‘The price of anything is the amount of life you pay for it.’ -q …Eastern, intuitive approach and the Western, linear one… -q … the ‘Observer Self.”. This is the part of our make-up that notices what is going on around and within us, that listens to the significant messages our bodies are sending at all times… the Observer Self is a basic aspect of human transformation… -q All of us have become dis-integrated and experienced the mind-body split. If re-integration is our goal, then the methods involved should include something physical as well as mental. To the extent that there is re-integration, there is healing, and he furthering of one’s spiritual journey. -q … in his A Brief History of Everything, philosopher Ken Wilber argues that many of our current difficulties can be traced to the Western world’s failure to develope any ‘truly contemplative practices.’ -q

Concentrate on the road to enlightenment… -q the Buddha had a very practical reason for denying the reality of the self, and that is that the notion of the self is the source of all the attachments, all of the selfish cravings and desires, that lead to suffering. To extinguish the illusion of self, then, is to transcend suffering. -q the blissful goal of the Buddhist quest… -q What is the goal of my quest? to help others help themselves? -r One traditional Christian theological method known as the via negativa… -q By ‘humanism’ we usually mean, in the most general of terms, that human beings are the measure of all things (an assertion made already in Ancient Greece by Pythagoras). -q For rather than picturing the self as a wholly autonomous entity harmoniously centered around reason, Freud paints the self as a fragile construction constantly pushed off-center by unconscious forces not under the self’s control. -q Indeed, science has brought us to the point where we can recognize the artificiality of talking about human beings over against the world of nature: we are nature. -q Mindfulness means focusing one’s attention just on what is happening right now, or on what one is doing in the moment… mindfulness means participating by being fully present. -q Engagement in the struggle for social justice can keep us honest in our quest for self-transcendence. -q Coterie #wotd -f But the Unitarian Universalist community is, among other things, an ‘institutional’ religion, however much some U.U.s might be horrified by the thought. -q … Martin Luther King’s admonition that the person dedicated to the good will will ever require a tough mind, characterized by incisive thinking, realistic appraisal and decisive judgement. -q theorists such as jean Francois Lyotard maintained that there is no overarching truth about the human condition. Each culture, perhaps even each individual, has its own narrative to tell. -q … the peculiarly American philosophical school known as pragmatism… -q We know that the spiritual quest sometimes results in ecstasy… -q It [Flower Communion] is, after all, the contemporary U.U. version of one of humankind’s most perennial rituals, the rite of spring. -q Everyday, non-sacred space, time, and language induce in us the drive to mastery, the drive to make the ego its own controlling deity. -q … locus of sacrality… -q We are on a solitary journey together in Unitarian Universalism… -q Drawing on the common spiritual dynamic of participation and self-transcendence, expressing that dynamic in many forms, and then bringing those forms together in a mutually supportive community that lends each quest social plausibility and hence the aura of reality, the Unitarian Universalist experience reacquaints us with Mystery and the sacred. The cosmos, and our daily lives, are re-enchanted. -q pornography is an example of the sort of commodification of human beings that I have been condemning above. -q There is no sense of religions being wholly discrete institutional entities [in Asian culture] whose boundaries prevent participation in more than one religion at a time. -q … the Mysterious Depth… -q … can we help our society uncover the “divine,” the sacred, the Mysterious Depth? -q

Unitarians played a pivotal role in founding the United States. Religiously speaking, we’re in our adolescence. We focus on what we know by experience. Our name refers to historic heresies that matter today. We don’t believe in the God many others don’t believe in either. We’ve revised our view of God — and of everything else. We believe that freedom is a consequence of belonging, not its antithesis. We’re the gratitude people. The discipline of gratitude calls us to worship together. The ethic of gratitude calls us to serve a broken and needy world. -o

Before we can be an inviting church that attracts and keeps visitors, we have to know who we are, what we stand for, what we have to offer. It arises from the deepest place of our sense of what is sacred, of what it means to live religiously. -q Evangelism is founded on the beliefs that people have a need for religious community, for deep relationships, for spiritual exploration, for social involvement. -q A religious community is a place that can save us from the crushing banality of consumerism, instrumental relationships, superficiality, alienation and isolation. -q Evangelism is, then, a religious orientation based on an eagerness to share something precious, to share our good news. Evangelism goes to the core of a church’s culture and identity. -q The beginning of a transition to a culture of evangelism, a culture of reaching out and sharing, is for our members to touch again the source of their connection to their faith.

Foundation of religious experience: Emptiness Mystery. -f Certainly facts can be tested, but in the long run human beings don’t live by facts, they live by belief and imagination. -q -p. 12 Various neuroses, such as jealousy, inferiority, and narcisism, are nothing more than anxious attempts to prevent life from happening, and when emptied, they transform into their opposites… -p. 13 -q A secular society that desperately craves information and understanding operates from anxiety, while spiritual approaches to mystery offers calm and joy. -p. 19 -q … the materialistic quest for knowledge… -p. 20 -q Particular mysteries, full of fantasy and meaning, surround us: death, love, illneess, sex, aggression, beauty, failure, and desire. Over time the religions of the world have creted rituals and told stories focused on these and other mystries. -q -p. 25 Our devotion to these mysteries becomes our belief -p. 25 -q … I have felt the need to know my tradion well and adapt it to my own vision. -p. 28 -q … I see that art, when it is carried out with an imagination absolutely open to inspiration, also serves the purpose of keeping us in touch with the mysteries. -p. 29 -q The way into mystery is not by knowledge or purity of life but my initiation. -p. 42 -q Faith is… trust that the mysteries which shroud us have meaning. -p. 44 -q Trust in life is essential not naive or blind trust, but basic faith that has been hammered out through experience. -p. 47 -q … the spirits that fill the air and affect us everyday fear, jealousy, competition, and many others. -p. 48 -q Ideolotry: the blind warship of ideas. -p. 49 -q The ultimate goal is an examined life, a habit of reflection that leads to a measured philosophy of life. -p. 58 -q Because in modern times we tend to personalize everything… -p. 99 -q The ways to the spirit are many: emptying, deepening, going high, and going low, believing and disbelieving, and falling apart… an importantt and perhaps necessary way to spirit is through alchemy, a subtle tranformation of the ordinary stuff of experience into a new style of thinking and living that is exquisitely moral and poetic. -p. 107 -q Fairy tales often tell of the release of spirit. -p. 108 -q Alchemy, by which I mean a way oflife rather than a historical practice, is always an ongoing, unending process. -p. 110 -q There are two sides to the spiritual life: transcending and crafting… transcendence may be no more than finding the faintest hit of meaning and value in a life full of misadventures. Crafting, which may be no more than learning how to chant or sit or paint a piece of wood… -p. 111 -q This loss of religion as a way of life - a constant attitude, a source of morals, an education in character, and a form of worship - leavesa blank space certainly, but worse, it accounts for much of our suffering. -p. 127 -q I have a preference for those theologies that go out of their way to safeguard the infinitude, the ineffability, and the mysteriousness of God. -p.130 -q The theology of many traditions demonstrates that religion can be just the opposite: it can joyfully honor God without proving eitther God’s existence or validity of a particular path to God. -p. 134 -q I spent most of my time as a Monk meditating, praying, living in community, and studying theology. -p. 131 -q His [Jesus] nature is holy, which is the opposite of neurotic. -p. 140 -q ‘The God who lets us live in the world without the working hypothesis of God is the God before whom we stand continually. Before God and with God we live without God.’ -Dietrich Bonhoeffer -p. 149 -q Prayer, a basic means of relating to the ultimate personality, is grounded and completed in an openhearted engagement with the world. -p. 154 -q Religion becomes an adventure, a lifelong search for that elusive and central radiance of what matters and whis most our own. -p. 158 -q It is difficult in a time when science is the master of knowledge to appreciate the importance of the interior life and to value insight, intuition, and imagination. p. 159 -q The romantic life is deeply interior and almos static compared to the frenetic activity around us today. It is thick with images… and stuffed with conversation and reflection. -p. 163 -q … this maiden’s values strike a chord… A man realizes that his delicate sensitives, though entirely different from the rough and capabel men around him, are worthy. p. 168 -q The religious traditions can return us to a proper idea of what devotion, sainthood, and sacrd image are all about. -. 174 -q Eventually I realized that the purpose of living with images is not to understand them but to be taught by them, not to reach a conclusion about them but to let them take you to a new place. -p. 177 -q Every room has a dream quality if you only look for it. Every conversation is carried on the wave of a myth, a deep story or set of images that may not be at allconscious to the people involved and yet defines precisely what they are doing. -p. 179 -q ‘It seems as if the day was not wholly profane in which we have given heed to some natural object’ -Emerson - p. 181 -q … spirituality on the model of Christ. -p. 185 -q Ideology has invaded our sense of morality, and so among many spiritual people you find moralism instead of ethical sensitivity, and by a short circuitous route that moralism turns against nature. -p. 186 -q To deal seriously with dreams, while abandoning the modern identity of researcher or analysis, may require adopting the persona of seer. -p. 191 -q The question is: Are we going to be hunters carrying our big guns of analysis? Or are we ecologists getting to know the flora and fauna of this mysterious territory? -p. 193 -q The four irrational channels mentioned by Plato are those of the seer, the lover, thee artist, and the mystic. -p. 197 -q The modern world is quickly losing its special retreats where a person can shut out time and attend to spirit and soul. p. 198 -q When I consult my muse, I find that I’m a spiritual minimalist. I don’t need much more beyond my library, my family, and my home. -p. 200 -q … an ongoing way of life that is deep, intelligent, and compasionate… I’d like t call it a holy life… -p. 205 -q It [sacrifice] is more a graceful and creative acquiescence, a willingness to let life happen and flow through us. -. 209 -q They [the religions; as opposed to secularism] suggest that a person might feel profoundly fulfilled by being a receptor of life rather than a doer and achiever, a conduit of power rather than the originator. -p. 209 -q Sacrifice chips away at the self, allowing th deep soul to take over… a more relaxed appreciation of the life passing through us… which, mysteriously, create a fuller version of self than what we might have created from our own designs. -p. 210 -q But sacrifice works this way if the one receiving our surrendor represents the infinite [life, fate, God’s will]. Sacrificing ourselves to another person or an ideology is as demonic as real sacrifice is holy. -p. 210 -q Secularism might be defined as a life without sacrifice. -p. 211 -q We have yet to learn that the only humanism which is ultimately effective is religious humanism, a combination of human effort and divine influence. -p. 211 -q

Here, Krishna is an Incarnation of the Divine Ground in human form. -p. 17 -q At the core of the Perennial Philosophy we find four fundamental doctrines: First, the phenomenal world of matter and of individualized consciousness… is the manifestation of a Divine Ground within… second: human beings… can… realize its existence by a direct intuition… Third: man possesses a double nature, a phenomenal ego and an external Self… Fourth: mans life on earth has only one purpose: to identify himself with the eternal Self and so to come to unitive knowledge of the Divine Ground. -p. 13 -q The purpose of human life is the discovery of Truth, the unitive knowledge of the Godhead. -p. 16 -q It is perfectly possible for people to remain good Christians, Hindus, Buddhists or Moslems and yet be united in full agreement on the basic doctrines of the Perennial Philosophy. -p. 22 -q Feelings of heat and cold, pleasure an dpain, are caused by the contact of the senses with their objects. hey come and go, never lasting long. You mustaccept them. A serene spirit accepts pleasure and pain with an even mind, and is unmoved by either. He alone is worthy of immortality. -p. 36 -q Die, and you win heaven. Conquer, and you enjoy the earth. -p. 39 -q Grow attached, and you become addicted; Thwart your addiction, it turns to anger; Be angry, and you confuse your mind; Confuse your mind, you forget the lesson of experience; Forget experience, you lose discrimination; Lose discrimination, and you miss life’s only purpose. -p. 42 -q … aspirants may find enlightenment by two different paths. For the contemplative is the path of knowledge; for the active is the path of selfless action. -p. 44 -q Activity is better than inertia. Act, but with self-control. -p. 45 -q The world is imprisoned in its own activity, except when acctions are performed as worship of God. Therefore you must perform every action sacramentally, and be free from all attachments to results. -p. 45 -q Others who are ernest seekers for perfection and men of strict vows, study and meditate on the truths of the scriptures. That is their way of worship. -p. 54 -q The wise see knowledge and action as one… take either path… the end is the same. -p. 57 -q But renunciation brings instant peace to the spirit. -p. 99 -q He must be forgiving, ever-contented, self-controlled, united constantl with me in his meditation. -p. 99 -q He who is free from delusion, and knows me as the supreme Reality, knows all that can be known. Therefore he adores me with his whole heart. This is the most sacred of all truths I have taught you. He who has realized it becomes truly wise. The purpose of his life is fulfilled. -p. 113 -q They are sure that life has only one purpose: gratification of the senses… they fall into the filthy hell of their own evil minds. -p. 115 -q Hell has three doors: lust, rage and greed. -p. 116 -q The practice of serenity, sympathy, meditation… when men practice this threefold austerity devotedly, with enlightened faith and no desire for reward, it is said to have the nature of sattwa. -p. 118 -q After strict self-schooling; Sour toil at first But at last what sweetness, The end of sorrow. -p. 125 -q A man will reach perfection if he does his duty as an act of worship to the Lord, who is the source of the universe, prompting all action, everywhere present. -p. 127 -q Now I have taght youu that wisdom is the secret of secrets. Ponder it carefully. Then act as you think best. -p. 129 -q You must never tell this holy truth to anyone who lacks self-control and devotion. -p. 129 -q

This is the Way of the Sage, in whose actions there is no element of strife.’ -p. -q ‘Temper your sharpness, disentangle your ideas, moderate your brilliancy, live in harmony with your age. This is being in conformity with the principle of Tao. Such a man is impervious alike to favour and disgrace, to benefits and injuries, to honour and contempt. And therefore he is esteemed above all mankind.’ -p. -q

Tao means ‘The Way.’. The Tao is the Way to live in order to achive by non-doing. -q The basic tenets [of Taoism] are four: 1) that the “Way” of Tao underlies all things, 2) that human action that is harmonious with Tao is spontaneous, effortless, and inexhaustible, 3) that the perfected individual is a sage, free from desire and strife, and 4) that the sage conducts government by guiding his people back to a state of harmony with the Tao. -q … shamanism, the aboriginal root of religions. -q Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking… Creating, yet not posessing, Working, yet not taking credit. Work is done, then forgotten. -q The sage stays behind, thus he is ahead. He is detached, thus at one with all. Through selfless action, he attains fulfillment. -q In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In ruling, be just. In business, be competent. In action, watch the timing. No fight: No blame. -q Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees. -q … ancient masters… Watchful… Alert… Courteous… Yielding… Simple… Hollow… Opaque… Observers of the Tao… -q Not putting on a display, they [wise men] shine forth. Not justifying themselves, they are distinquished. Not boasting, they recieve recognition. Not bragging, they never falter. They do not quarrel, so no one quarrels with them. Therefore the ancients say, ‘Yield and overcome.’ -q Therefore the sage takes care of all men and abandons no one. He takes care of all things and abandons nothing. -q Therefore the sage avoids extremes, excesses, and complacency. -q Weapons are instruments of fear; they are not a wise man’s tools. He uses them only when he has no choice. -q Tao abides in non-action… and in this way all things would be at peace. -q ‘A voilent man will die a violent death’ This will be the essence of my teaching. -q The softest thing in the universe overcomes the hardest thing in the universe. -q A content man is never disappointed. -q There is no greater sin than desire, no greater curse than discontent, no greater misfortune than wanting something for oneself. Therefore he who knows that enough is enough will always have enough. -q The sage has no mind of his own. He is aware of the needs of others. … The sage is shy and humble - to the world he seems confusing. Men look to him and listen. He behaves like a little child. -q

Religious Daoism is also known as Dao jiao (also spelled Tao chiao). -q … Daoism emphasizes following one’s own instincts to reach a true awareness and understanding of existence. Simplicity and spontaneity, or following natural impulses, are also important. To return to the Dao, a person needs to remove the clutter from his or her life.

As the manufacturing center of the industrial Midwest has hollowed out, the white working class has lost both its economic security and the stable home and family life that comes with it. -location 201 It’s about a culture that increasingly encourages social decay instead of counteracting it. -location 228 upward mobility fell off in the 1970s and never really recovered, -location 241 At Mamaw Blanton’s, we’d eat scrambled eggs, ham, fried potatoes, and biscuits for breakfast; fried bologna sandwiches for lunch; and soup beans and cornbread for dinner. -location 357 Appalachian hills and single-room, K–12 schoolhouses don’t tend to foster big dreams. -location 422 Appalachian Odyssey -location 526 Hillbilly culture at the time (and maybe now) blended a robust sense of honor, devotion to family, and bizarre sexism into a sometimes explosive mix. -location 639 The never-ending conflict took its toll. Even thinking about it today makes me nervous. My heart begins to race, and my stomach leaps into my throat. When I was very young, all I wanted to do was get away from it—to hide from the fighting, go to Mamaw’s, or disappear. I couldn’t hide from it, because it was all around me. -location 1076 Mom would officially retain custody, but from that day forward I lived in her house only when I chose to—and Mamaw told me that if Mom had a problem with the arrangement, she could talk to the barrel of Mamaw’s gun. This was hillbilly justice, and it didn’t fail me. -location 1141 And unless you’re a particularly capable sociopath, dishonesty can only take you so far. -location 1173 We drove home in silence after Mamaw explained that if Mom lost her temper again, Mamaw would shoot her in the face. -location 1223 The theology she taught was unsophisticated, but it provided a message I needed to hear. To coast through life was to squander my God-given talent, so I had to work hard. I had to take care of my family because Christian duty demanded it. I needed to forgive, not just for my mother’s sake but for my own. I should never despair, for God had a plan. -location 1240 The road to hell, however, is paved with good intentions. -location 1284 In this, Dad embodied a phenomenon social scientists have observed for decades: Religious folks are much happier. Regular church attendees commit fewer crimes, are in better health, live longer, make more money, drop out of high school less frequently, and finish college more frequently than those who don’t attend church at all.16 -location 1326 In the middle of the Bible Belt, active church attendance is actually quite low. -location 1334 She said, “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?” -location 1398 And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay. God would still love you.” That settled the matter. -location 1401 “I never had a dad,” I explained. “But Papaw was always there for me, and he taught me the things that men needed to know.” Then I spoke the sum of his influence on my life: “He was the best dad that anyone could ever ask for.” -location 1526 unable to follow the basic norms of adult behavior. -location 1584 There were three rules in her house: Get good grades, get a job, and “get off your ass and help me.” -location 1823 The Truly Disadvantaged, -location 1973 Losing Ground, -location 1981 we’re parents.

We might get angry with them, but we never give them the tools—like peace and quiet at home—to succeed. -location 2016 These are the lies we tell ourselves to solve the cognitive dissonance—the broken connection -location 2023 between the world we see and the values we preach. -location 2024 Not all of the white working class struggles. I knew even as a child that there were two separate sets of mores and social pressures. My grandparents embodied one type: old-fashioned, quietly faithful, self-reliant, hardworking. My mother and, increasingly, the entire neighborhood embodied another: consumerist, isolated, angry, distrustful. -location 2033 Thanks to Mamaw, I never saw only the worst of what our community offered, and I believe that saved me. There was always a safe place and a loving embrace if ever I needed -location 2043 “resilient children”—kids who prosper despite an unstable home because they have the social support of a loving adult. -location 2054 The Marine Corps assumes maximum ignorance from its enlisted folks. -location 2371 The Marine Corps demanded that I think strategically about these decisions, and then it taught me how to do so. -location 2382 whenever people ask me what I’d most like to change about the white working class, I say, “The feeling that our choices don’t matter.” -location 2414 family matriarch: She put out the fires, hosted family gatherings, and kept us all from breaking apart. -location 2542 “adverse childhood experiences,” -location 3026 classic fight-or-flight response -location 3049 The things I wanted most in the entire world—a happy partner and a happy home—required constant mental focus. -location 3094 being a hillbilly meant sometimes not knowing the difference between love and war. -location 3139 problems of family, faith, and culture -location 3190 “I think you have to have good role models around you. -location 3204 I’ve learned that the very traits that enabled my survival during childhood inhibit my success as an adult. -location 3293 whether he can access a church that teaches him lessons of Christian love, family, and purpose; -location 3392

… the usual British pattern: first, say something won’t happen and then, when it does, saying it’s going to be a failure and then, when it’s a success, desperately trying to catch up. -p. -q CH. 8: The Chapter BRITISH OUTSIDER IN EUROPE begins with Hain’s responsibilities in Europe as a negotiator for British interests. As a pro-European, he worked to change Britain’s image as hostile to Europe. While forging personal relationships, he made little progress. The events in this chapter include the negotiations and politics of the Euro, and the Gibraltar co-soverenty referrendum (that failed specacularly) -p. -s Ch.8: This begins with Hain as a foreign office minister. Points include dealing with other government departments, and with civil servants, advocacy for ‘complementary’ (alternative) medicine (also called ‘integrated healthcare’ in the book), his rather muted admiration of the queen and royal family (Hains’ background is as a republican), unguarded remarks he made to the press about tax policy, and reflections of the state (bad state, according to Hain) of journalism, or investigative journalism. Hain seems to take great pride in actually not taking advice from the civil service, and forcing his will upon officials and departments. This is viewed as true leadership. He also shows distress when the press digs into the politics of a story rather than the story. One wonders what the press is to do. While saying that the press doesn’t pay attention to serious, intelligent information and true debate. Yet when they do, Hain says they become part of the story. One also wonders what is virtuous with not listen to what is usually well-informed and cautious advice from his officials. -p. -s

She had an uncanny ear for American public opinion, and she kept her rulings closely tethered to what most people wanted or at least would accept. William Brennan, observed in 1985, “the genius of the Constitution rests not in any static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead and gone, but in the adaptability of its great principles to cope with current problems and current needs.” p. 18 -q John Marshall Harlan II, m, 20th c, Supreme Court Justice. -f [Souter] believed that law existed to preserve the stability of society and that adherence to precedent best guaranteed a limited and predictable role for the judiciary. Above all, he believed in the rule of stare decisis. -p. 53 -q Souter believed that the Constitution expressed a libertarian ideal—that freedom from the restrictions of government counted as much as, or more than, the right of legislators to pass laws limiting individual freedom. -q And the people’s rights were not limited by the precise language of the Constitution, either. One of the strongest arguments against so-called unenumerated rights in the Constitution is that a written document should be limited in meaning to its precise terms. -q Souter avoided attention, loathed controversy, and disliked high-profile cases. -q Equanimity, WOTD -f waylaid, WOTD -f alacrity, WOTD Clinton’s thoughts about abortion: safe, legal—and rare. [RBG] felt laws banning abortion were a form of sex discrimination—a violation of equal protection of the laws—rather than an affront to the right to privacy, as Blackmun’s opinion had held. choice of Ruth Bader Ginsburg—arguably Clintons seventh choice -f James Madison in Federalist No. 45, Rehnquist wrote, “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.” “color-blind Constitution If one wants to be popular, it is counterproductive to disagree with the majority. If one just wants to tread water until the next vacation, it isn’t worth the agony. If one just wants to muddle through, it is not worth it. -Clarence Thomas -q [Clarence Thomas’] office, a little sign reads: ‘To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing. [Renquist] had reduced the job to its essentials: a morning meeting with his law clerks to talk about the progress of opinions, a meeting with his administrative assistant to address issues affecting the federal judiciary, lunch at his desk, review of paperwork after lunch, and limousine home by 4:00 p.m. Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, Iolanthe: “I did nothing in particular, and I did it very well.” O’Connor, the practical consequences would matter more than the legal theory, reading briefs, hearing arguments, and writing opinions. The gay clerks changed the Court, not because of their advocacy but because of their existence. (As usual at oral argument, the lawyer was largely a spectator as the justices talked to one another.) sophistry, WOTD [O’Connor’s] judicial approach was indefensible in theory and impeccable in practice. For a Court majority determined never to stray too far from what the public believed, It is during our most challenging and uncertain moments that our Nation’s commitment to due process is most severely tested; and it is in those times that we must preserve our commitment at home to the principles for which we fight abroad.” Souter’s New England frugality Souter spoke of “every judge’s common obligations: suspicion of easy cases, skepticism about clear-edged categories, modesty in the face of precedent, candor in playing one worthy principle against another, and the nerve to do it in concrete circumstances on an open page. prickly personality ch. 20 in the wake of oconnors retiremenu conservaives come out against gonzolas. -s When she joined the Court in 1981, not one other justice believed that abortion laws should be tested under an “undue burden standard,” but O’Connor had invented that test and over time persuaded a majority of her colleagues to agree with her. She had single-handedly remade the law in the most controversial area of Supreme Court jurisprudence. -q Even Thomas had long since passed Scalia, en route to a kind of nineteenth-century conservatism. -q John Robert’s philosophy: Decide more cases; achieve more unanimity; write narrower opinions—judicial minimalism. -f Cass Gilbert’s steps represent at some level a magnificent illusion—that the Supreme Court operates at a higher plane than the mortals who toil on the ground. But the Court is a product of a democracy and represents, with sometimes chilling precision, the best and worst of the people. We can expect nothing more, and nothing less, than the Court we deserve. -q Reserved, almost diffident, WOTD -f The framers viewed freedom from unlawful restraint as a fundamental precept of liberty, and they understood the writ of habeas corpus as a vital instrument to secure that freedom. -q These meditations were in the tradition of ‘penumbras,’ ‘emanations,’ and other airy constructs the Court has employed over the years as poor substitutes for clear and rigorous constitutional reasoning.” -q As a result of the Court’s decision in Heller, it will be judges, not voters and elected officials, who will be answering these questions. And it will be years, and perhaps decades, before the courts even debate them. -q

It is douhtful whether Homo sapiens will still be around a thousand years fro nw, so 2 milion years is really out of our leaue. -p. 6 -q This unique species, known by scientists as homo floresiensis, reached a maximum height of only 3.5 feet and weighed no more than fifty-five pounds. -p. 7 -q In Homo sapiens, the brain accounts for about 2-3 per cent of total body weight, but it consumes 25 percent of the body’s enegy when the body is at rest. -p. 9 -q Women paid extra. An upright gait eqired hnarrower hips, constricted the birth canal - and this just when babies’ heads where getting biger and bigger… Natural selection concsequently favoured earlier births… Human babies are helpless, dependent for many years on their edlers for sustenance, protection and education… It takes a tribe to raise a human. Evolution thus favoured those capable of forming striong social ties. In addition, since humans are born underdeveloped, they can be educated and socialized to a far greater extent than any other animal. -p. 10 -q One of the most common uses of early stone tools was to crack open bones in order to get to the marrow. Some researchers believe this was our original niche… This is a key to understanding our history and psychology. -p. 11 -q By about 300,000 years ago, Homo erectus, Neanderthals and the freathes of Homo sapiens were using fire on a daily basis… The advent of cooking enabled humans to eat more kinds of food, to devote less time to eating, and to make do with smaller teeth and shorter intestines… When humns domesticated fire, they gained control of an obedient and potentially limitless force. -p. 13 -q We don’t know exactly where and when animals that can be classified as Homo sapien first evolved from some earlier type of humans, but most scientists agree that by 150,000 years ago, East Africa was populated by Sapins that looked just like us. -p. 14 -q Achaeologists have discovered the bones of Neanderthals who lived for many years with severe physical handicaps, evidence that they were cared for by their relatives. -p. 14 -q It turned out that 1-4 per cent of the unique human DNA of modern populations in the Middle East and Europe is Neanderthal DNA. -p. 16 -q Tolerance is not a Sapiens trademark. In modern times, a small ifference in skin colour, dialect or religion has been enough to prompt one group of Sapiens to set about exterminating another group. -p. 18 -q Perhaps this is exactly why our ancestors wiped out the Neanderthals. They were too familiar to ignore, but too different to tolerate. -p. 18 -q The last dwarf=like humans vanished from Flores Island about 12,000 years ago. -p. 19 -q … Homo sapiens conquered the world thans above all to its unque language. -p. 19 -q The Cognitive Revolution. -p. 21 -q Our language evolved as a way of gossiping. -p. 22 -q Sociological research has shown that maximum ‘natural’ size of a group bonded by gossip is about 150 individuals. Most people can neither intimately know, nore gossip effectively about, more than 150 human beings. -p. 17 -q How did Homo spiens manage to cross this critical threshold, eventually founding cities comprising tens of thousands of inhabitants and empires ruling hundreds of millions? The secret was probably the appearance of fiction. Large numbers of strangers can cooperate successfully by believing in common myths. -p. 27 -q Peple easily understand that ‘primitives’ cement their social order by believing in ghosts and spirits, and gathering each full moon to dance together around the campfire. What we fail to appreciate is that our odern institutions function on exactly the same basis. -p. 28 -q According to the French legislators, if a certified lawyer followed all the proper litugy and rituals, wrote all the required spells ad oaths on a wonderfully decorated pience of paper, and affixed his ornate signature to the bottom of the document, then hocus pocus - a new company incorperated… Once the lawyer had performed all the right rituals and pronounced all the necessary spells and oaths, millions of upright French citizens behaved as if the Peugeot company really existed. -p. 31 -q The kinds of things that peopel create through this network of stories are known in academic circles as ‘fictions’, ‘social constructs’, or ‘imagined ralities’. -p. 31 -q … Sapiens have been able to change their behaviour quickly, transmitting new behaviours to future enerations without any need of genetic or environmental change. -p. 34 Chinese eunuch bureaucracies. -f -p. 34. Research this -r The immense diversity of imagined realities that Sapiens invented, and the resulting diversity of behaviour pattrns, are the main components of what we call ‘cultures’. -p. 37 -q There’s hardly an activity, a belief, or even an emotion that is not mediated by objects of our own devising. -p. 43 -q Ever since the Cognitive Revolution, ther ehasn’t been a single natural way of life for Sapiens. There are only cultural choices, from among a bewildering palette of possibilities. -p. 45 -q There was just one exception to this geeral rule: the dog. The dog was the first animal domesticated by Homo sapiens, and this occured before the Agricultural Revolution… Dogs were used for hunting and fighting, and as an alarm system against wild beasts and human intruders…. A 15,000-year bond has yielded a uch deeper understanding and affection between humans and dogs than between humans and any other animal. -p. 46 -q Trade was mostly limited to prestige items such as shells, amber and pigments. -. 46 -q During the last million years, there has been an ice age on average of every 100,000 years. The last one ran from about 75,000 to 15,000 years ago. 66 q The second explanation is that by the time Sapiens reached Australia, they had already mastered fire agriculture. Faced with an alien and threatening environment, it seems that they deliberately burned vast areas of impassable thickets and dense forests to create open grasslands, which attracted more easily hunted game, and were better suited to their needs. They thereby completely changed the ecology of large parts of Australia within a few short millennia. 68 q … hunting and fire agriculture… 68 q The first Americans arrived on foot, which they could do because, at the time, sa levels were low enough that a land bridge connected north-eastern Siberia with north-western Alaska. 69 q According to current estimates, within a short interval, North america lost thirty-four out of its forty-seven genera of large mammals. 71 q At the time of the Agricultral Revolution, only about a hundred[large terrestrial mammals] remained. Homo sapiens drove to extinction about half of the planet’s big beasts long before humans invented the wheel, writing, or iron tools. 72 q

I always like to know what people do for a living. This is probably just plain nosiness, but I like to call it scientific interest. -p. 30 -q come-uppence. what does this mean? -p. 37 -q You can make one egg take the place of two in scambled eggs by using too much milk and thickening it with flour. It’s not very good, but it’s something to eat. -p. 43 -q You don’t have to understand directions. All you have to do is follow them; and you can follow them only one step at a time. What you need is not intelligence, but a blind faith. -p. 48 -q If we bring them in oo early and the weather warms up, we have the most horrible phonemena known to the thrifty Yankee heart and soul - good food, slowly spoiling. -p. 66. -q We want and need the deer meat. (Only snobs and city people say venison, I early learned.) -p. 67 -q It’s better, even if harder, just to sit down and wait. -p. 71 -q It seems almost like vadalism to shake the ice and snow from its branches and hang them with pop-corn strings and cheap tinsel. We have our Christmas tree outdoors, for the benefit of the birds, hanging suet and crusts on the branches of one of the trees in the yard. -p. 77 -q Yu can think of a lot o things to make ut of nothing, if you have to. -p. 78 -q I hate futile activity. -p. 83 -q A man who has cursed the boss all evening to his confreres is almost alwyas a man who goes to bed feeling at peace with the world, and who wakes up ready to put out a good day’s work. -p. 96 -q The clerk keeps the camp books, pays the men, orders suplies, tends the wangan - the little store where tobacco, candy, cloths, saw-blades and aes are sold - and runs the punch board, which is always a part of hte camp picture. The clerk and scaler are men of at least some education, and I think they enjoy livin alone, because they like to sit up nights and read, and in the bunk-house lights have to be out at nine o’clock. -p. 96 -q punctilious. what does this mean? -p. 97 -f They’ll take the fact that a man changed his underwear Sunday, the conventional underwear-changing day, and make almost an international incident out of it. -p. 101 -q I feel great regard for trees; they represent age and beauty and the miracles of live and growth. -p 103 -q In the woods the first question you ask anybody, no matter what time of day he arrives, is, “Have you eaaten?” -p. 116 -q I’m necessary to him [Ralph, Louise’s husband]; and by the same token, he’s necessary to me. It’s a terribly trite thing to say, I know, but most of us have to be needed to be happy. -p. 132 -q Perhaps the best thing we can give them [children] in a world where the possession of material things becomes more and more precarious, in a world of marching armies and destruction-dealing skies, is a tough-fibered indifference to heat and cold and comfort and discomfort. -p. 141 -q Culch is the New England word for that clutter of party worn out or obsolete objets that always gathers, like moss, on a non-rolling household. I don’t know hwo first used the term cluch corner, but it stuck. Now we all call it that. -p. 157 -q Why are things like ice that won’t melt, or inclement weather, or balky motors always ‘she’ to the men who deal with them? -p. 185 -q Of course I should have remembered tha tpeople who do things well almost always do them without flourish. p. 189 -q The men weren’t romantic, or daring, or glamorous. But they were something much better. They were good neighbors. -p. 204 -q This, like all sweeping statements, is subject to a few amendments; but hte basic idea still holds. -p. 214 -q Animals in the woods aren’t out looking for trouble. They don’t have to look for it. Their lives are nothing but one trouble after another. -p. 214 -q Ralph swarmed over the door, heart-broken. He’s often hardboiled in his attitude towards his own kind, but when it comes to animals, he’s just a bowl of custard. -p. 220 -q I’m just a little bored with women who claim to be afraid of men, or who feel either inferior or superior to men, or who consider mean as beng anything other than so many more people. -p. 234 -q We don’t have hurricanes more than once a century in New England… -p. 237 -q That’s certainly not true, or atleast isn’t true anymore. -q If you’ve got sence, you can keep out of trouble. If you haven’t got sence, you’ll get into trouble, here [in the woods] or anywhere else. -p. 246 -q But it wouldn’t help anything [to listen to the news all the time], and it would keep me in a constant state of turmoil and indigestion. So we have our fifteen minute does of everything’s-going-to-hell each evening, and the rest of the day we try to forget about it. There’s not very much tranquility left in the world today. It may be that in striving to presever a little of it we are making the best contribution within our powers. Or it may be that this is pure rationalization, and we are uilt of the most abysmal selfishness. -p. 256 -q It made me realize that the tings we fear are almost always things which needn’t be feared at all. -p. 263 -q Perhaps they didn’t come from Boston, and perhaps they aren’t college graduates. So what? They have the qualities - generocity and honesty and humor - that we would be happy to feel we shared. -p. 264 -q You see, Cliff hadn’t been Outside for three years, and I thought I recognized the first sign of his going woods queer. Woods queerness is a real and serious and fairly common thing here, brought on by solitude and a growing awareness of the emptiness all around. It starts in little ways, and gets worse and worse, until finally it may end in raving insanity. -p. 280 -q So I accepted the invitation and with alacrity. -p. 293 -q What does alacrity mean? -r I didn’t hve a hat, of course, or gloves, but nobody whears them in Upton anyhow, except to church.

Earl warren received nomination for governor for both the dem and republication parties. Clariance Thomas’ reliance on historical analysis. As a matter of settled practice… I had assumed that the due process clause protects only a right to fair procedures before a state could deprive a citizen of life, liberty, or property—that that had been the real point of Holmes’s Lochner dissent. due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applies to matters of substantive law as well as to matters of procedure. find that argument persuasive. interpreted the commerce clause broadly, as John Marshall had in his Gibbons opinion. Because the second case arose in the District of Columbia—which, of course, is not a state—the Fourteenth Amendment was inapplicable. in forma pauperis Justice Stewart’s explanation that the Griswold decision that had upheld the right to use contraceptives could “be rationally understood only as a holding that the Connecticut statute substantively invaded the ‘liberty’ that is protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.” While Thurgood’s jurisprudence reflected an understanding that the Constitution was drafted “to form a more perfect Union”—and thus to accommodate unforeseen changes in society—Justice Thomas’s repeated emphasis on historical analysis seems to assume that we should view the Union as perfect at the beginning and subject to improvement only by following the cumbersome process of amending the Constitution. In 1939, in the Miller case, a unanimous Court had held that the scope of the right protected by the amendment was delimited by its relationship to the preservation of a well-regulated militia. In the last four decades, more than one hundred death-row inmates have been exonerated, a number of them on the basis of DNA evidence. Historical analysis is usually relevant and interesting, but it is only one of many guides to sound adjudication. Moreover, just as the meaning of the Eighth Amendment itself responds to evolving standards of decency in a maturing society… As Thurgood Marshall observed on more than one occasion, the Constitution does not prohibit Congress from enacting stupid laws.

Read 2012-11. -r (As Arthur Shenfield put it, the difference between the public and private sectors was that the private sector was controlled by government, and the public sector wasn’t controlled by anyone.) - -q I was always asked how it felt to be a woman prime minister. I would reply: ‘I don’t know: I’ve never experienced the alternative.’ -q The desire to win is born in most of us. The will to win is a matter of training. The manner of winning is a matter of honour. -q The Privy Council is one of the oldest of Britain’s political institutions, with the most important of the Crown’s advisers among its members, including by convention all Cabinet ministers. Its meetings — usually of a few ministers in the presence of the Queen — are now purely formal, but the oath taken by new members reinforces the obligation of secrecy in conducting government business, and the issue of ‘Orders in Council’ is still an important procedure for enacting the legislation not requiring the approval of Parliament. -q … ‘orderly management of decline’ -q They were as appalled as I was, and retreated into their shells. -q It was impossible not to like Jimmy Carter. He was a deeply committed Christian and a man of obvious sincerity. -q President Giscard d’Estaing was never someone to whom I warmed. I had the strong impression that the feeling was mutual. -q … the root of Britain’s industrial problem was low productivity. -q We knew that we could do this only by controlling those things which government could control — namely the money supply and public borrowing. -q … would only influence expectations -q Retreat as a tactic is sometimes necessary; retreat as a settled policy eats at the soul. -q .. did not know enough about the steel industry to become involved in the negotiations though, of course, I was keen to hear their views. -q Closure would have some awful consequences, but we must never give the impression that it was unthinkable. -q But this did not escape from the fact that extra public spending — whatever it was spent on — had to come from somewhere. And ‘somewhere’ meant either taxes levied on private individuals and industry; or borrowing, pushing up interest rates; or printing money, setting off inflation. -q I thrive on honest argument. I am interested in practical options. -q I offended on many counts. -q Personal incomes had been increasing while company profits had been shrinking, so it was clear that any extra taxation should be borne by the personal rather than the corporate sector. -q I do not greatly care what people say about me: I do greatly care what people think about our country. -q … the Government found itself dragged into a crisis we had neither sought nor predicted. -q What was clearly lacking was a sense of pride and personal responsibility -q The fact that the Left howled disapproval confirmed that he was just the right man for the job. He was someone they feared. -q The ‘wets’ had been defeated, but they did not yet fully realize it… -q .. poisonous legacy of socialism — nationalization, trade union power, a deeply rooted anti-enterprise culture. -q Later I discovered how important the wives of leading Arab figures are. Indeed, many of these women are highly cultivated, very well educated and well informed. Their influence is greatly underrated in the West… -q … Ronald Reagan, with his effortless amiability… -q To me consensus seems to be: the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner ‘I stand for consensus’… -q But when you are at war you cannot allow the difficulties to dominate your thinking: you have to set out… -q with an iron will to overcome them. -q old style Tory: a country gentleman and a soldier, a good tactician, but no strategist. He is a proud pragmatist and an enemy of ideology; the sort of man of whom people used to say that he would be ‘just right in a crisis’… -q As Frederick the Great once remarked, ‘diplomacy without arms is like music without instruments. -q I knew that the only reason the Argentinians were prepared to negotiate at all was because they feared our task force. -q Our task was not to make grand plans for technological innovation but rather to see how public opinion could be influenced in order to embrace not recoil from it. -q … as a passionate advocate of free enterprise capitalism I was convinced that, given the right framework of laws and an appropriately educated workforce, it could widen choice, generate wealth and jobs and improve the quality of people’s lives. -q When I am making a big decision, I always prefer to sleep on it. -q Home Secretaries never do have an easy time; it is sometimes said that they possess a unique combination of responsibility without power… -q … they become touchy and uncertain about their standing; and all this makes them vulnerable. -q It seemed to me that what happened there contained important lessons which we should heed. First, it is unwise to intervene in such situations unless you have a clear, agreed objective and are prepared and able to commit the means to secure it. Second, there is no point in indulging in retaliatory action which changes nothing on the ground. Third, one must avoid taking on a major regional power, like Syria, unless one is prepared to face up to the full consequences of doing so. -q

On the basis of slender evidence, mostly the circumstances of his bachelorhood and three asides by contemporaries about his effeminacy, Buchanan has been dubbed America’s first homosexual president. Referring to his femininity, Andrew Jackson once calleed him an ‘Aunt Nancy’… Absent the discovery of new material, no one will ever know whether Buchanan and King (the only man whom his name was ever erotically connected) had sexual relations. -p. 25 -q The best speculation about the sexuality of nonshaving Buchanan, who in his portrates has eunuchlike, endomorphic features of body and face as well as the low hairline characteristic of asexual men with low levels of testosterone, is that he had little interest in sex. -p. 26 -q Buchanan’s letters to Harriet and all his faimly were the austere, distant expressions of a lifetime bachelor. p. 49 -q Buchanan did not campaign; such entreaties by the candidate himself were considered violations of the national understanding that conferring public office was a gift of the people. -p. 71 -q Besides his pronounced prosouthernism, Buchanan’s personality also damaged his prospects for a sucessful presidency. He had always been a cautious pessimist, lacking the ebullience that so often undergirds the boldness of good presidents. -p. 74 -q … an old bachelor’s fussiness… -p. 87 -q Just as the formative document of the United States, the constitution, had been approved by the people… -p. 97 -q. Really? -r And he [Buchanan] also sent a personal ambassador to Charleston, asking the governor to postpone the state’s secession until Lincoln was inaugurated. -p. 130 -q … Buchanan gave every indication of severe mental strain affecting both his health and his judgement. -p. 130 -q … It [Buchanan’s prosouthernism] rests in his social and cultural iddentification with what he perceived as thesouther values of leisure, the gentleman’s code of honor, and what George Cary Eggleston, a Virginia writer, once called ‘a soft dreamy deliciously quiet life… with all its sharp corners removed. -p. 137 -q … palpable characteristics of failed presidencies - the arrogant, wrongheaded, uncompromising use of power. -p. 149 -q In this crisis three presidential failings - Buchanan’s arrrogance that hecould achive peace by being a partisan of the South, his ideological commitment to southern values, and his vision of the future with slavery gradually dying out - all came together to buttress a terrible presidential miscalculation. -p. 151 -q

How large this population was [that came across the Bering Land Bridge] is still a matter of debate and guesswork, with figures ranging from a mere seventy individuals to between 1,000 and 5,400 people. -p. 16 -q The earliest widely accepted pre-Clovis site comes… from mount Verde in southern Chile… About 15,000 years ago… a small group of people camped on the sandy banks of a creek subsisted off game and especially lant foods. They lived in a cluser of near-rectangular huts… Traces of mastodon and paleo-llama hide are adhered to a number of the posts that covered the structure… There were communal and individual hearths inside the huts. -p. 19 -q Homo sapiens, anatomically modern people, evolved in Africa, tall nimble hunter-gatherers who moved out of their homeland into the wider world after abou 50,000 years ago. -p. 22 -q Mobility, flexibility and detailed ecological knowledge these were always secrets of survival. -p.40 -q The most vital artifacts in these arid landscapes were the wooden digging stick, the flat metate or grinding stone, the small stone muller, and coiled baskets… these simple objects enabled people to process an enormous range of seeds, plats, and tubers… one major innvation arrived in about AD 500 the bow and arrow… -p. 40 -q The Paleoindians living in the northern tundra in areas like central Michigan relied heavily on spring and fall caribou migrations, when thousands of beasts would flow across strategic river crossiings for days on end. -p. 43 -q HOPEWELL: A Native American (or Adena) mound complex in Ross County, Ohio. -p. 208 -f Hopewell is a ‘great tradition’ or an ideology in the spiritual sense, a set of understandings, as it were, shared by numerous small regional societies over much of the Midwest, accompanied by distinctive artifacts and mortuary rituals. -p. 208 -q Hopewell people lived, for the most part, in small, isolated communities sometimes comprising no more than one or two exended families. -p. 208 -q This is a world of intimate kin relationships, where people from neighboring groups came together to harvest nuts and hunt, and for other activities… people learned and shared basic values, supernational beliefs, and rituals common to an entire society. These mechanisms found mates and arranged marriages, and exchanged food, raw materials, and ritual objects… Numerous leadership positions arose… which provided the context for satisfying both prosaaic daily needs and social and spiritual obligations, which were often fulfilled at ceremonial centers.. -p. 209 -q … Hopewell cults, many of which celebrated ancestors. p. 209-10 -q … using the simplest of stone-bladed tools, wooden digging sticks and baskets. -p. 212 -q In Ohio, communities buried some, even all, their dead relatives together in shared cemeteries… we know, from their pendants, of at least nine clans, each with animal or totem associations… p. 214 -q … shamanistic duties, such as invoking the power of animals, divination, and corpse processing. -p. 215 -q Ohio Hopewell leadership ws highly diversified and decentralized, wih classic shamanistic and shaman-like leaders all complementing one another… p. 215 -q Animals layed a central role in Hopewell ritual, for the people believed that some humans had the ability to ransform themselvves into animals or vice versa. Animals were models as leaders, symbols of clan organization, a means for achieving personal power. -p. 217 -q Personal spiritual power came from trance, sometimes facilitated by smoking with pipes depicting animal gardians-cum-tutelary spirits, or by ingesting hallucinogenic mushrooms. -p. 217 -q Darkness, light, animals the mysterious forces of the environment, and the supernatural world formed the center core of Hopewell life and belief. -p. 217 -q Some time between AD 325 and 350 a three-way alliance between local symbolic communities in the Scioto region partially discintegrated… An explanation for this sudden change eludes us. -p. 218 -q Hopewell interaction network covered… from the Southeast into south-eastern Canada. The most active ones lay along major waterways ike the Ohio River… -p. 210 -q Regional expert Dean Snow has estimated that no more than 25,000 people lived in New England before 8000 BC, and only between 158,000 and 191,000 in AD 1600. -p. 235 -q Several innovations arrived during the first millennium AD among them the bow and arrow (c. AD 600)… -p. 236 -q The Iroquoians may now have instituted more formal village councils made of up of representative from each clan… these offices were hereditary… there may have been separate chiefs (sachems) for war and peace. Peace chief kept a pulse on public opinion, settled domestic disputes, organized community works, rituals and ceremonies, and negotiated with others. War chiefs… organized and led war parties, dealt with prisoners, and killed suspected witches… no chief had the authority to do anything more than act as a spokesman. p. 243 -q FEAST OF THE DEAD: a ceremonial reburial of those who died every decade or so; before the community moved to a new location. -p. 243 -f Cannibalism appears… in the form of split, cut, and cooked human bones found in Iroquoian sites throughout southern Ontario… The consumption of human flesh was… an intensely symbolic act. -p. 243 -q Male prisoners were often slain in elaborate sacrifices to the sun, women and childen usually permitted to live. -p. 243 -q Most likely, warfare was a quest for perosnal prestige. As time went on, the basic tasks of hunting, fishing, and forest clearance… became collective tasks… Women, as the frmers, now accounted for more food and were the dominant social lineages. Thus, men had to prove themselves and their worth. -p. 244 -q Bruce Trigger: Increased warfare lead to larger communities = leading to less intervillage marriage = less contact/association = more warfare. “Thus… the men assumed a prestigious role in a society that was becoming more and more sedentary and agricultural”. -p. 244-5 -f

Read 2023-03. Grade B. -r On August 7, 1998, al-Qaeda launched simultaneous attacks on U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. -q – Howland, an island in the pacific. -q – Since 1945, U.S. armed forces have been deployed abroad for conflicts or potential conflicts 211 times in 67 countries. Call it peacekeeping if you want, or call it imperialism. But clearly this is not a country that has kept its hands to itself. -q – They replaced colonization with globalization. … It was also startling in how much it centered the world’s trade, transport, and communication on one country, the United States. -q – It’s hard to know how many Indians inhabited North America before Europeans arrived. Five million for the area now covered by the contiguous United States, calculated by the anthropologist Russell Thornton, is a medium estimate… -q – In the early years of the republic, their claims had been respected, roughly speaking. -q – In 1828 the state of Georgia declared the Cherokee constitution invalid and demanded the Cherokees’ land. President Andrew Jackson approved. -q – Thomas Jefferson had fantasized about dividing the entire country, with Native on one side and European on the other—hence his plan for the Louisiana Purchase. -q – For the first few decades of the country’s history, this continental-scale apartheid had remained informal and incomplete. -q – In the end, the thought of a “full-blood savage” with a desk in the Capitol proved too much for the delicate sensibilities of the members of the 23rd Congress. -q – Guano Islands Act in 1856. -q – four hundred thousand tons of rock guano off of U.S. appurtenances. That fell short of speculators… -q – Fritz Haber, a German-Jewish chemist, developed a technique for synthesizing ammonia, -q – In a delicious historical irony, the man who saved the world from starvation was also the father of weapons of mass destruction.-q – After the war, Fritz continued his work, and his institute developed a promising insecticide called Zyklon A. In slightly modified form, under the name Zyklon B, it would be deployed on Fritz and Clara’s fellow Jews… -q – Clara Immerwahr. Her cousin Max was my great-grandfather. -q – The frontier, Turner argued, had been the great regenerating force in U.S. life—the source of democracy, individualism, practicality, and freedom. -q – But Roosevelt had an uncanny knack for orchestrating events in his favor. -q – Edmond Demolins’s book Anglo-Saxon -f – As the Spanish governor-general explained, he was “willing to surrender to white people but never to Niggers.” -q – Though the United States had rapidly annexed new territory, it had rarely incorporated large nonwhite populations. -q – Combine a republican commitment to equality with an accompanying commitment to white supremacy, and this is what you got: a rapidly expanding empire of settlers that fed on land but avoided incorporating people. Uninhabited guano islands—those were fine. But all of Mexico or Nicaragua? No. -q – Not taking land and flooding it with settlers, but conquering subject populations and ruling them. -q – Republicanism, white supremacy, and overseas expansion … -q – The inalienable rights of man and the injustice of taxation without representation—these were bedrock political values. -q – Twain’s British counterpart, Rudyard Kipling. -f – As was often the case in the nineteenth century, most victims of the war died from disease. -q – Massacres like this weren’t unknown in the United States. Wounded Knee, Sand Creek, Bloody Island—the Indian wars had painted the West red. Yet Bud Dajo dwarfed them all. -q – Instead, Roosevelt’s government encouraged Panamanian nationalists to secede from Colombia, and then he negotiated for a small zone in which to build the canal. -q – Looking Backward (1888) by Edward Bellamy. Read this -r – Bellamy’s dream of efficiency, rationality, and hygiene -q – “A man of brusque manners and few words” -q – “Where tyranny is law, revolution is order,” Albizu declared. -q – Ponce Massacure. -f – Ever since Fritz Haber released chlorine gas at Ypres in 1915, the threat of chemical warfare had hung in the air. -q – The colonies had their uses: as naval bases and zones of experimentation for men such as Daniel Burnham and Cornelius Rhoads. But colonial products weren’t integral to the U.S. economy. -q – Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) -f – Aleut internment. -f – In May 1942 some 112,000 residents of western states, some Japanese nationals and some U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry, were forcibly removed from their homes and held in camps for years. -q – And despite the millions the military was pouring into the Alaska Highway, it never found the money to fix the internment camps. -q – At least, the government was comfortable taking the men of the Pribilof Islands back to their homes to work the 1943 seal harvest (the Fish and Wildlife Service had a lucrative deal with a fur company). -q But in Alaskan camps, by the war’s end, 10 percent had died. -q – The 150 tons of silver pesos, too bulky to move, were dumped into a secret spot in Manila Bay—a tantalizing challenge for future treasure hunters. -q – “ABCD encirclement” (American-British-Chinese-Dutch), and it [the philippines] meant that Japan’s access to oil, rubber, tin, and even food depended on foreign markets. -q – Minella, The sixth-largest city in the United States—substantially larger than Boston or Washington, D.C. -q – The Second World War in the Philippines rarely appears in history textbooks. But it should. It was by far the most destructive event ever to take place on U.S. soil. -q – Ww2 death tolde: fifty-five million living humans -f – There were only three things wrong with the GIs, the British quip went. They were “overpaid, over-sexed, and over here.” -q – In late 1945, counting the occupations, 51 percent of the population of the Greater United States lived outside the states. But by 1960, after Hawai‘i and Alaska entered the union, that number had fallen to around 2 percent… -q – In 1940 nearly one out of every three individuals on the planet was colonized. By 1965, it was down to one in fifty. -q – shrinking the army from more than 8 million troops in May 1945 to fewer than 1 million by the end of June 1947 -q – the United States was letting its largest colony go. And it was doing this, remarkably, so as not to look bad in the eyes of Asians. -q – “intense, fanatical nationalism” -q – Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States and James Loewen’s Lies My Teacher told me.. Read these.. -q – Cecil Rhodes -f – powerful countries project their influence through globalization rather than colonization. -q – The first plastic, celluloid, was devised to replace ivory in billiard balls -q – As plexiglass, it could be the cockpit window of a plane. As cellophane, it could replace a tin can in food storage. Mixed with wood fiber as plywood, plastic could substitute for timber and steel in small boats, making them lighter, faster, and cheaper. Mixed with glass as fiberglass, it could be used to make planes. -q – This was the legacy of the Second World War. Take the world’s most advanced economy, cut it off from most tropical trade, and send it into overdrive—it was the perfect recipe for a synthetic revolution. -q – At no point in the twentieth century was there a serious possibility that oil would actually run out. Today, with new technologies enabling the exploitation of Canadian tar sands and the partial substitution of natural gas for oil, that danger seems as remote as ever. -q – snafu. As in, Situation Normal: All Fucked Up. -q – Aviation, knocked-down shipping, wireless communication, cryptography, chloroquine, DDT, and world-proofing. -q – Herbert Hoover, as a man, can best be understood as the opposite of Teddy Roosevelt. -q – But the mere act of the government calling an all-industry convention was often enough to secure agreement. -q – By the war’s end, the United States had produced 84,000 tanks, 2.2 million trucks, 6.2 million rifles, and 41 billion rounds of small ammunition. The war against Hitler may have been a European fight, but it was very much made in the SA. -q – Peace and prosperity called for global unification. -q – Synthetics diminished the great powers’ need for strategic raw materials by offering substitutes. -q – “psychological violence of the classroom” -q – The most powerful force for anglicization has been the internet. -q – Estimates vary widely, but it seems that roughly one in four humans on the planet can now speak it. -q – The Swans were in the first batch of guano islands the United States had claimed. -q – Yet Bin Laden’s motives were neither unknowable nor obscure. -q – September 11 was, in large part, retaliation against the United States for its empire of bases. -q – Bin Laden got lucky with George W. Bush, who had recently succeeded Bill Clinton. Bush could have treated the 9/11 attacks as a crime, arrested the perpetrators, and brought them to justice. Instead, he declared a “war on terror” of global expanse and promised to “rid the world of evil-doers.” -q – “We need to create a colonial office—fast,” wrote Max Boot – Foreign prisons, walled compounds, hidden bases, island colonies, GPS antenna stations, pinpoint strikes, networks, planes, and drones—these are the locales and instruments of the ongoing war on terror. This is the shape of power today. This is the world the United States has made. -q – There are about four million people living in the territories today, in Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Marianas.

One reason for Jefferson’s bias against cities in general, and against industrial cities expecially, was surely that even in the South cities were places where black articians congregated… Black articians had repeatedly led revolts to overturn slavery… Jefferson could not be expected to look beyond the conventions he feared from the presence of free blacks everywhere in the South to envision a future when a flight of blacks to cities reduced the role of rural slavery and thus not only increase the resilience of yeoman agrarianism but also provided urban markets close by. -p. 53-4 -q Cotton requires at least 150 frost-free days in a year… -p. 57 q Virgil’s Georgics industrious, virtuous, self-reliant… -p. 58 -q The rise of the American Republic has coincided with the rise of the modern corporation. -p. 60 -q Speculation in Western land led many planters into rebellion against a British government that had twice sought to cut them off from the West.

This was the beginning of the development of the races as they are today - Men, Dwarfs, Gnomes, Trolls, and some say the Elves - but they were always here and that’s another story for another time. -p. 156 -q The man called Gallaphile saw that was happening and realized that if nothing were done, the races would surely be at war. So he called together a select group of men, all he could find who possessed any knowledge of the old books, to a council at Paranor. -Allanan -p. 157 -q Yet he [Orl Fane] was alone, and the mind that had once been had slowly turned inward on itself, shutting away the fears that were imbedded there until madness began to take hold and all reason began to die. -p. 512 -q Allanon told us to go to the Anar. -p. 83 -q I (Shea) only know what Allanon told us - that the [elf]stones where only to be used in emergencies, and that they were very powerful. -Shea. -p. 82 -q In the silent darkness, Shea Ohmsford was alone with his fear, and deep within himself, he fought back against a rising knot of terror. -p. 86 -q He wore black, like all the Druids, cloaked and hooded… -p. 3 -q Bremen: A druid, leader of the druids. -p. 4 -f … the First Council of Druids… met at Paranor, a gathering of the wisest men and women of all the Races, those who had memories of the old world, those who retained a few tattered, crumbling books, those who learning had survived the barbarism of a thousand years… [they] had begun the laborious task of assembling their combined knowledge… the goal… was to work for the betterment of all people… -p. 7 -q Chief among those books was the Ildatch, a monstrous, deadly tome that had survived every cataclysm since the dawn of civilization, protected by dark spells, driven by secret needs. -p. 8 -q It [the black elfstone] has the power to subvert other magic, whatever its form, and covert it to the holder’s use. -Bremen. -p. 11 -q He [Raven] was tired of drifting, of living for no better reason than to see again what he had already seen before and to be paid for the privilege.

Tay was an elementalist, a student of the ways in which magic and science interacted to balance the principal components of his world earth, air, fire, and water. -p. 113 -q It was tied instead to earth laws, to the power lines that encircled the world and tied all things together with linkage of acts and counteracts, of cause and effect, of choices and consequences… Tay had learned to read those changes and to inuit what they meant. -p. 113 -q Courtann Ballindarroch: King of the Elves. -p. 112 -f Noninvolvement was a mistake that would end up costing everyone dearly. -p. 110 -q Bremen in those days had been a firebrand burning with truths self-evident to him but incomprehensible to everyone else. -p. 109 -q Kahle Rese was asleep in the Druid library… he had been working late, cataloging reports he had compiled during the past five years on weather patterns and their effects on farm crops. -p. 83 -q Verre Erreden was not well regarded among the Elves, a reclusive, distracted, shy man with little concern for anything besides his work. he was a locat, a mystic who specializes in finding people who were missing and objects that were lost. -p. 150 -q He [Vree] was tolerated because he enjoyed occasional, verifiable success, and because the Elvin people were understing of differences in general… -p. 151 -q Mystics operated on prescience, intuition, even hunches, all of them stronger than the instincts normal men and women might experience, all of them impossible to see. -p. 151 -q

Gehn will not take him to see his grandmother again -p. 170-189 -s To that end, you will keep a notebook while you are here; in it you will write down your observations about this age. -p. 198 -q Myst : the book of Atrus, by Rand and Robyn Miller with David Wingrove, is a work of fiction. Atrus is D’ni, a people with the ability to create worlds through writing. The story begins with Atrus living with his grandmother; helping her around her estate, and learning about the world. Then his father Ghen comes to take him away to the age of D’ni. Here, the father teaches the son the art of writing. Atrus quickly excels, so quickly that he is able to see fatal flaws in the way that his father writes. After many disagreements, Ghen locks him away. But Ghen’s fiance Catherine helps rescues Atrus. The story ends with Catherine and Atrus creating their own age to live in. I would recommend this to one who enjoys fantasy, books, and parent/child relationships. -p. -r

Read 2023-03. Grade A. Winston Smith, a clerk in the toltalitarian state of Oceania’s Ministry of Truth, is “reintegrated” (tortured) after falling in live and joining the counterrevolution. -r You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized. -q – WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. -q – four Ministries between which the entire apparatus of government was divided: the Ministry of Truth, which concerned itself with news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts; the Ministry of Peace, which concerned itself with war; the Ministry of Love, which maintained law and order; and the Ministry of Plenty, which was responsible for economic affairs. Their names, in Newspeak: Minitrue, Minipax, Miniluv, and Miniplenty… -q – Emmanuel Goldstein, the Enemy of the People -f – “freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of thought” correspondences to the ministries. – The Brotherhood, its name was supposed to be. -q – To dissemble your feelings, to control your face, to do what everyone else was doing, was an instinctive reaction. -q – To dissemble your feelings, to control your face, to do what everyone else was doing, was an instinctive reaction. -q – Oceania was at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia. -q – If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, it never happened -q – “Who controls the past,” ran the Party slogan, “controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” -q – Ingsoc before 1960, but it was possible that in its Oldspeak form—“English Socialism,” -q – Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. -q – … reconstruct the past… -q – Floating Fortresses. -f – More commonly, people who had incurred the displeasure of the Party simply disappeared and were never heard of again. -q – … and went on: “Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? -q – The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect. -q – Orthodoxy means not thinking—not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.” -q – There was something that he lacked: discretion, aloofness, a sort of saving stupidity. -q – Zeal was not enough. Orthodoxy was unconsciousness. -q – The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth. -q – He wondered, as he had many times wondered before, whether he himself was a lunatic. Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one. -q – … persuading you, almost, to deny the evidence of your senses. In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. -q – The heresy of heresies was common sense. -q – The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. -q – It was assumed that when he was not working, eating, or sleeping he would be taking part in some kind of communal recreations; to do anything that suggested a taste for solitude, even to go for a walk by yourself, was always slightly dangerous. There was a word for it in Newspeak: ownlife, it was called, meaning individualism and eccentricity. -q – stationer’s shop, WOTD -f – rectification, WOTD -f – cult of strenuousness and self-denial -q – If you kept the small rules, you could break the big ones. -q – It was not merely that the sex instinct created a world of its own which was outside the Party’s control and which therefore had to be destroyed if possible. -q – She knew when to cheer and when to boo, and that was all one needed. -q – … beastly little swine… -q – The terrible thing that the Party had done was to persuade you that mere impulses, mere feelings, were of no account, while at the same time robbing you of all power over the material world. -q – They were not loyal to a party or a country or an idea, they were loyal to one another. -q – Gelatinous, WOTD -f – The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor. -q – The two aims of the Party are to conquer the whole surface of the earth and to extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought. -q – Everywhere there is the same pyramidal structure, the same worship of semi-divine leader, the same economy existing by and for continuous warfare. -q – Ingsoc in Oceania, Neo-Bolshevism in Eurasia, Death-worship, as it is commonly called, in Eastasia… -q – The so-called “abolition of private property” which took place in the middle years of the century meant, in effect, the concentration of property in far fewer hands than before; but with this difference, that the new owners were a group instead of a mass of individuals. -q – Doublethink lies at the very heart of Ingsoc.. -q – To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies—all this is indispensably necessary. -q – For the secret of rulership is to combine a belief in one’s own infallibility with the power to learn from past mistakes. -q – The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture, and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. -q – Chapter 1, like Chapter 3, had not actually told him anything that he did not know; it had merely systematized the knowledge that he possessed already. -q – behind the chimney pots into interminable distances. It was curious to think that the sky was the same for everybody, in Eurasia or Eastasia as well as here. And the people under the sky were also very much the same—everywhere… -q – Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past,’” -q – You would not make the act of submission which is the price of sanity. You preferred to be a lunatic, a minority of one. -q – The Party is not interested in the overt act; the thought is all we care about. -q – THERE ARE THREE STAGES in your reintegration,” said O’Brien. “There is learning, there is understanding, and there is acceptance. It is time for you to enter upon the second stage.” -q – “How does one man assert his power over another, Winston?” Winston thought. “By making him suffer,” he said. -q – He was not bored; he had no desire for conversation or distraction. Merely to be alone, not to be beaten or questioned, to have enough to eat, and to be clean all over, was completely satisfying. -q – Stupidity was as necessary as intelligence, and as difficult to attain. -q – The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world. -q
