Newsletter Coming Soon

by Evan on 2015/02/23

 

I’ve been rather quiet on this blog lately, no doubt for too long.

 

It is due to us (my wife and I) having bought a house and needing to assemble the furnishings for it (bought from IKEA), and getting the place organised and habitable in general.

 

If you would like photos and such send me a personal message, either via the contact page on the blog, on facebook or via email.

 

Things are getting sorted so I should be back to posting again sometime soon – especially doing newsletters.

 

I have had some new people sign up for the newsletter, my thanks and apologies.  If there are any topics you would like me to write about, let me know in the comments and I’ll do my best.  Evan

Wishing You the Blessing of the Season OR kind of reviving some pre-modern understandings

December 25, 2014

In pre-modern Europe (and other places) there was a belief that a kind of magic attached to places and times.  These times and places weren’t just the usual they were holy (set apart from the run of the mill), they had a different use.  They were ‘blessed’.   Which is quite primitive and naive.  Now […]

Self-Development Without Narcissism

November 14, 2014

    One of the sins that self-development is accused of is narcissism. I don’t go along with this entirely, I do go along with it partly.  In this post I want to explain my approach to narcissism and our thriving.   Narcissism and How it Comes About When a need of yours is not […]

Living With Phonieness and Fakery

November 7, 2014

  In reply to the question, “What is your greatest difficulty with living an authentic life?” I got this response: being around those who don’t. I guess this was a light-hearted response, at least partly. So here is a response to the part that may not be light-hearted.   It Is OK To Look After […]

How A Label Made Me Happy

October 31, 2014

  Labels Save Us Time and Effort For instance: In conversation I can refer to my friend “Christine” rather than; that person of a particular height, with a certain hair colour and style of dress. I can talk about a political philosophy (say “Anarchism”) without listing its features and distinguishing it from other political philosophies. […]

A Challenge: Tell Your Story of How You Have Been Shaped by Others

October 15, 2014

This post is stimulated by a post that a friend on Facebook alerted me to: about the West not needing more of the Hero(ine)’s Story.   Which I think is true.   I do think that the adaptability and creativity of individuals is vital and important.  The problem is ignoring our social context.  We Western […]

Being Hurt and Isolating Ourselves

October 5, 2014
