The Learning Iceberg - the importance of distinctions between 'education' and 'learning'?
-
Meade Layne speculated that, rather than representing advanced military or extraterrestrial technology, flying saucers were piloted by beings from a parallel dimension, which he called Etheria, and their "ether ships" were usually invisible but could be seen when their atomic motion became slow enough. He further claimed that Etherians could become stranded on the terrestrial plane when their ether ships malfunctioned, and that various governments were aware of these incidents and had investigated them.

Boxes
“We have all to specialize, more or less — but whoever boxes himself in, tries to find the whole truth inside his box, knows nothing of other approaches to knowledge or is merely contemptuous of them, is working with only one hand and hopping on one foot, when he doesn’t need to.” - N. Meade Layne

The World of Rhythm Called Rituals - Book by Jayant Burde
When someone mentions rituals we usually think of religious rituals such as prayer, puja, marriage ceremonies, sermons and so on. However, if we introspect a little, we realize that we spend most of our life in performing rituals of one type or another. Most of our activities from morning till night are ritualistic. This book explains how rituals are closely connected with verse, music and dance. It asserts that like music and dance rituals belong to the world of rhythm. By ritual we mean any stylized behaviour that recurs. Rituals abound in all walks of life: social intercourse, military affairs, law and politics, education and so forth. In most rituals rhythm is manifest and loud. In a few rituals which have a slow tempo, some analysis is necessary to detect rhythmic patterns. The author beautifully portrays the types of rituals and the rhythms they generate from the babbling of a child to a band parade or the chanting of a mantra. He explains the initiation and completion of patterns that form the rhythm.

My next chapter begins..
After four years, my time at Dr.Strange Love's insane asylum has come to an end. While I did meet many genuinely nice and interesting people, I've never seen so many highly educated useful idiots, one sided apparatchiks and evil geniuses in one place. The scale of ambition and operations is truly dizzying. But equally the levels of secrecy, confusion, arrogance and lust for control and power are mind boggling. In summary, it is a madhouse. I did learn a great deal for which i am very thankful, especially by studying the shadows of the invisible. Most notably, I've learned that education has little to-do with true intelligence, and intelligence has even less to-do with getting the essentials right. The heart is the true mystery, not the brain - a fact that Dr.StrA.Inge Love will likely never comprehend. All that said, i want to sincerely thank all the kind souls I've met along this wild and fascinating journey. May our practice and life be of benefit to all beings everywhere.

On the Origin of Form
“New forms do not come from nothing, not for us humans at any rate; they come from prior forms, through mutations, whether unsought or invited. In a fundamental sense, there are no theories of creation; there are only accounts of the development of new forms from earlier forms.” - Frank Barron
