A Touch of Pansophia: 2/1/08 - 3/1/08
http://pansophist-scribbler.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
A Touch of Pansophia. Taking a stab at the examined life. February 13, 2008. Evolving a Relationship to Fairy Tales (Part VI). Werner Zurfluh, Part II). There are two ways in which Zurfluh's work relates to fairy tales. A case in point: last night I read my children "Habetrot and Scantlie Mab". From More English Fairy Tales, ed. Joseph Jacobs, 1894). Wouldn't you know that the main character "falls asleep" by a knoll while despairing over how to perform a task her mother has set her? Links to this post.

A Touch of Pansophia. Taking a stab at the examined life. May 13, 2010. On this historic occasion. Tomorrow is the first session of Hungary's new parliament. There's a lot of hope riding on the next prime minister's shoulders. He better not screw up. On this occasion, I would like to offer up an essay-disguised-as-a-story that I wrote three years ago, called The Parliament-opening Speech You'll Never Hear a Prime Minister Give.

A Touch of Pansophia: Sorry Folks...
http://pansophist-scribbler.blogspot.com/2008/08/sorry-folks.html
A Touch of Pansophia. Taking a stab at the examined life. August 27, 2008. But now I realize that's sensation, and not an honest way to search for a deeper kind of truth. I don't want to turn what I'm going through into sensation. And at the same time, I don't want to blithely post about other things, as if everything was hunky dory. My heart wouldn't be in it. I'll take a page out of The Third Eve's. So I might wait a while to write about these things. That is, if I ever write about them. I know what yo...

http://pansophist-scribbler.blogspot.com/2009/03/short-visualization-lesson.html
A Touch of Pansophia. Taking a stab at the examined life. March 26, 2009. A Short Visualization Lesson. A friend recently asked members of an internet forum my wife frequents whether anyone could give her advice on how to practice visualization. The following is an e-mail I wrote her. It turned out so well, I decided I might as well post it. The text draws from various materials I've read over the years, among them: Shakti Gawain,. But in this case, you have actually asked for advice concerning something...

A Touch of Pansophia: The Subversive Discourse of Fairy Tales
http://pansophist-scribbler.blogspot.com/2009/03/subversive-discourse-of-fairy-tales.html
A Touch of Pansophia. Taking a stab at the examined life. March 15, 2009. The Subversive Discourse of Fairy Tales. I was reminded of her, and of people with similar burdens, when I recently read the fairy tale "The Beauty and the Horns" from The Laughing Prince: A Book of Jugoslav Fairy Tales. Famously called "following your bliss." Why were these people telling a story that was obviously in conflict with their conservative values? Said that fairy tales were retellings of psychic experiences in a symboli...

A Touch of Pansophia. Taking a stab at the examined life. September 3, 2008. Getting Coaxed Out of Blog Sabbatical. Well, folks, I still don't feel like addressing the most immediate issues in my life, and I still don't feel comfortable blithely talking about other things either. But there's a voice out there in Blogdom that won't let me sink into complete silence. Bless her. In a recent posting, Hellibrarian. Today And she claims to not believe in "psychic dialoging.". Me with The Hungarian Press Agency.

A Touch of Pansophia. Taking a stab at the examined life. May 1, 2008. Szilvi and I have recently gone through a life-changing experience. I wrote the following essay in order to explain it as clearly as I could to my family. But there is the matter of gracefully living out the rest of this life. I've always been what they call a "late bloomer"; slower to mature than my peers. We can't have a fifth child! Out of the question! All this time, it played on our minds. It was agony waiting. When we got home, ...

A Touch of Pansophia. Taking a stab at the examined life. July 22, 2007. The Parliament-opening Speech You'll Never Hear a Prime Minister Give. Though We Can Always Hope and Pray). The Speaker of Parliament brought the gavel down on her desk with three sharp raps. The buzz of excited conversation and frenetic motion throughout the chamber subsided just a little bit. She gave three more raps of the gavel and pleaded, "Ladies and Gentlemen. Please come to order! Manfred Weiser arose from his seat in the fr...

A Touch of Pansophia. Taking a stab at the examined life. March 28, 2009. Visualization - Personal Observations. The best way I could sum up the previous article is this: visualization is the art of creating in the outer world by creating it in the inner world first. In this posting, I'd like to talk a bit about some of my own experiences with applying the technique; my frustrations, and my successes. What I have had incredible. Now, you might be thinking, "If this works so well, is it ethical? I see no ...
