Why We Eat What We Eat
January 24, 2012
As a cooking teacher, who regularly meets people through my cooking classes, here on the sunshine coast, I get to see what a cross-section of society likes to eat and feels comfortable with on their plate. It is interesting to observe shared traits amongst the groups of people, who pass through my cooking school, and it […]
Polymath
August 13, 2011
Having multiple talents and pursuing them in the marketplace, is it a blessing or a curse? I have a number of interests and have invested time in each of them and have achieved a level of proficiency in several of these pursuits. Does this entitle me to express these in the marketplace as vocations or […]
Stages of Our Mental Journey
July 9, 2011
Heading: Stages and Phases of the Mental Journey. Subheading: Exploring consciousness, linguistics and language. “O, what a world of unseen visions and heard silences, this insubstantial country of the mind!

What is being human?

Our Posthuman Future – Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution By Francis Fukuyama Profile Books, 2003. Book Review A disturbing orange cover, with a picture of what looks like a conveyer belt full of robotic looking babies stretching into infinity, possibly delayed my reading of this brilliant book. Its publication date accidentally synchronised with the birth […]
Finally finished with physics

Book Review The Dancing Wu Li Masters By Gary Zukav Fontana/Collins 1980. Who else out there, has carried a book around with them for twenty plus years, with the intention of reading that book, because it is really something they ought to read? That book for me, has been The Dancing Wu Li Masters by […]
Gandhi
March 11, 2011
I enjoyed the opening installment of the program on Gandhi, currently showing on the ABC Monday’s at 7.30pm. It traced his roots to his birth town in India and looked at the early influences on his life. There is a tendency in us all, I think, to see great historical figures as ready-made and cardboard […]
Denial the pathway of No
February 2, 2011
What is your pathway to truth and enlightenment? Is it one of self-denial and sacrifice? There are so many spiritual traditions based on the righteous denial of the flesh. Jesus dying on the cross, symbolising the death of the flesh as sacrifice to a metaphysical truth. Christianity has its genesis in this and condemns human […]
