Boundless Joy

Boundless Joy.
On the Ocean of Bliss
my Heart rides out to you, Lord.

You are my comfort, my truth, and my Being.
Within you, surrounded by you
we are One.

The Ocean is endless. The Light is within,
there is naught but Truth,
and the Sky is the rim
of limitless Freedom;
for thus, I am Here:

To be Light, to be Love,
and thus, to be Free.

[The above version is what I wrote down first, although before writing it down, I imagined the third line would go rather into the direction as follows, so I wrote the following verses in order to see what would happen then (as I did not write it down immediately, I am not sure what it would have been, if I had):]

 

Boundless Joy.
On the Ocean of Bliss
my Heart rides out to you, Lord;
dissolving the patterns
that limit my watch.

Within me, there is Love.
Without me, there IS
the One. My Heart.
They meet.
And all
is fine. / One
in ItSelf.

[“is fine” and “One in ItSelf” are alternatives, I have not decided for now, as to which to use, so here are they both.]

 

True Solutions, Invented Problems and Language Fascism

If you are interested in how gender ideology tries to influence the German language and in my perspective on that, have a look at my respective article in German here. If you do not read German, I could imagine you might understand it with the help of e.g. https://deepl.com. The craziness continues on an even higher level here, but you will only understand the latter article if you know about German grammar.

The article also contains the explanation of why there were no new articles here for a while. In short: After the GDPR came into final effect, I was not too much looking forward to having to rewrite or ammend my privacy policy and to sort out how to make my websites and blogs compatible. In the end, with many of my sites, including this blog, I figured this out. That was last year in summer, and since then I had not been particularly inspired to write a new article.

But now, here is one :-)  

Big Webmail Service Making You Lose Part of Your Copyrights

I recently wrote an article about a paragraph in the Microsoft Services Agreement which, as it seems to me, implies your copyrights are transferred to those receiving your messages or calls, which would not only concern Hotmail / Outlook and Windows online, but also Skype, as it seems to me. You can find the article in German here.

Connecting my Blogs

As you may know, I like beautiful names and domain names. This may also be one reason for having more than one blog. Yet, for my readers, it might be inconvenient having to follow all of them – so I wondered whether to either create a new one and post in various language there (I thought of http://travels.jewel-of-light.org), an idea that came to me while walking through Perth (speaking of names – one beautiful aspect of Waldorf schools, at least in Australia, is that many children have got very beautiful names). However, for now, it seemed I should keep my separate blogs for English (this one) and German (over here).

To yet make it easier for the reader, I will connect both blogs by posting a link to each article I have posted in the other language, that is here a link to my German articles, and over there to my English articles published here.

I will keep my third blog and my special interest blog’s separate as well, but might also include links to these on my German and English main blogs.

This will not be the case vice versa, however, so best you follow either this blog or my German blog, then you should find all or most of my articles.

For older articles, i. e. articles before today, nevertheless, you will still have to browse through the other blogs.

This means:

Enjoy reading!

On Right Writing

Eckhart Tolle gives some valuable advice for writers on how to tell a biographical story and still have the dimension of consciousness accessible in his first Google+ – Hangout here (in the second half of the hangout) in a reply to Wafa Lababneh.

(The hangout also contains advice on the education of young children and as to Love [also see here].)

How often and when has a term been used ?

On a mailing list I am a member of, I just found mentioned this tool:

http://books.google.com/ngrams

It is available for a couple of languages and shows at which time the term searched for has been used how often.

It seems to have gone through the blogging world a few years before, but I had never heard about it, and found it quite interesting. Good for linguists as well as sociocultural research indeed. I tried (having written my thesis about human dignity and international law) “dignity”, and found the result rather unexpected at first.

Searching for “Google” shows, that results can be misleading without further analysis, though.


					

		
		
	


				
					
	

		

						
Problems with Exposés

I just read this interview, where an author describes how, after an example of his writing, the publisher asked for an exposé. Especially when being a channel, the book is not the channel’s work – but the exposé may be. If, then, a publisher judges whether to publish the book without reading the entire book, but just the exposé, he will not really judge the right writer…


As many artists may channel to a certain extent (just a guess), but the exposé as a “condensation” of the novel may be written with their (own) “head” (mind), this might constitute a potential for misjudgement.


Judgement is not optimal anyway. May intuition rule with the lector, too !

In fact, I wanted to start blogging a few weeks earlier. But  I was looking for an appartement, then, and could not dedicate the time, it seemed.


Now, that, I have one (more or less, that is, still on the move within the building at the least), I, again, had to do so much again to create a new future for me (uhm… preferably in Australia – anyone having a job for me there ?), that I needed to give my attention to that. Now, having a free minute, I read in the advice for beginning Blogging a few good ideas how to start.


Well, I will, really… In my next post. Having followed the advice in the article, I will write about stillness.


Today is Summer solstice, maybe a good day to write about something significant.
