Miss Justice

                                           Miss Justice is iconographically depicted as a BLINDFOLDED Female holding a scale in one hand while gripping an Excalibur by her side in the other .   We are told She is blindfolded so that She remains free of bias and prejudices that may occur when She views Evidence .   We have been taught "Seeing is believing" yet SHE is BLINDFOLDED so, according to this dictum, She therefore MUST rely on Her other senses to administer the Truth .   Also, She wields a Sword presumably to defend the Truth and to meet-out Exactions .    We can only HOPE that She removes Her blindfold when punitive measures are at stake .   

                      Here's the Question :  Can we TRUST Miss Justice ???

...sounds like bikini...

                                          What follows is the Definition of >Dakini< found in the Shambhala Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen .   I offer this piece because Truth is difficult, no only to Imagine but to actualize in day-to-day Operations and Observations .   You will better appreciate the Significance once you read the Def .

                      Dakini  Sanskrit:  in Indian folk belief, a female demon to be found in the company of gods;  in Vajrayana Buddhism, the inspiring power of consciousness, usually depicted in iconography as a wrathful naked female figure .  ...  The Dakini has the task if integrating the powers liberated by the practitioner in the process of visualization ...  Thus the Dakini is a female figure that moves on the highest level or Reality--- her nakedness symbolizes knowledge of Truth revealed ."

Guide-posts

                                          I am loathe to continue the thinking of the previous day .   However, I must make an exception today because of the  Nature of Truth and the abject necessity to bind one's Self to Truth in the Effort to establish and maintain It as a foundation of Perceptual Reality .   There are four statements which act as guide-posts and billboards to the Seeker and Practitioner of Truth --  they are :

                                 1)    "We create our own Perceptual Reality"

                                  2)  "We act according to the way we see things"

                                  3)   "They became what they beheld"

                                   4)   "Life is what you make it" .

Miss Kwote

                                                I must assert that Truth and Beauty are Psychological "Realms" and  I  insert "Domain" as  equal  to  Realm  DESPITE  its  OBVIOUS   difference  { authorial prerogative } .   There are these :  The Realm of Truth --- The Realm of Beauty .    I BELIEVE we MUST 'reside' in the Realm of Truth that we may also Reside in the Realm of Beauty .   By doing so we can be comfortable with Dr. Joseph Campbell's  "MAJESTY OF BEING"  and  I supplement   THAT with my own : "Live the MIRACLE " .   Corny I know ---it's all I got .

Haas and Wilhelm

                                           I consider Academia as an island {"I" Land --- "Eye" Land} Paradise in the Ocean of Despair, Suffering , Anguish and Torment--- not just a "safe haven" or "shelter in the Storm" ;  but rather an Impenetrable Fortress of Creative Human RESOLVE .   

                      I contend that the rigorous pursuit of Intellectual Properties is MENTAL NOURISHMENT--- that when one feeds the Mind >it< POWERS the Body .   Engaging in Academic Freedoms is as richly rewarding as the passive Pleasure derived from Listening to Music .   As I have noted elsewhere = Music HEALS !   

                      So it is that Listening (Reading) to Lectures is the same as Listening to Music-- both of which not only provided needed Nourishment but Healing Medicines as well .

                       Here it is where we have the Nature of Mr. Haas's Home and the Lectures delivered by Hellmut Wilhelm .

  

CHANGE

                                             I must, perforce, introduce my Gentle Readers with this 'Preface' from a monograph I have TREASURED my entire Academic Career .   The title of this "little volume" is CHANGE .   So---- "Here goes" .

                                     "This little volume consists of lectures given in Peking in the winter of 1943 .   This was a time when the war in China had been going on for almost six years and Peking was under Japanese Occupation, a time when all creative forces seemed frozen and darkness ruled the day .  During that period there was a group of German-speaking people in the city who kept apart from the activities of the German communitity and everything connected with it .   The group found a center in the home of William Haas .   Wilhelm Haas is a man with the courage of perseverance; even it the most hopeless situations he never yielded to despair .  "    

American Mutilation

                                              We are in the tumultuous midst of an American MUTILATION of World Order - a something that hideously resembles HITLER'S >>>CHOICE<<< to wage WAR that he may satisfy the Darkest Urges of his gruesome-ly DERANGED Psyche .   We {as in "I"} awaken each morning NOT to the Promise of Positive Potential, but to the FEAR, DREAD and LOATHING of a MADMAN `gone the way of! Adolph Hitler, which, at its most bizarre, is actually a DENIGRATION of Hitler who BELIEVED he was Championing the Cause of his People, trump's WARS have but ONE Purpose =  to satisfy the PERSONAL Appetite for UNLIMITED POWER   AT THE EXPENSE OF MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF INNOCENTS AROUND THE ENTIRE PLANET .
