The Hermetica and Human Imagination! (3.6.2024)

In the Egyptian Hermetica, for instance, the god Toth (often through the commentary of Hermes) equates thinking about distant places (by imagining different physical environs in the mind) was exactly the same in principle as the individual travelling to these destinations – despite nothing physically taking place. Imagining structures in the mind, for Toth, was tantamount to creating something from nothing (every creationist story), and achieving movement without going anywhere. All theistic and psychedelic traditions make ample use of the ability to “imagine” – whilst the argument continues to as the proper relationship of the imagination to the physical world.

China: New Law Assists Visually Impaired Citizens! (2.9.2023)

In Beijing, Liao Juan, an associate professor at Capital Normal University’s School of Management, said the law closely addresses the demands and expectations of the elderly and the disabled in terms of system design, establishing standards, and construction requirements.

She said the process of formulating the law is the best example of how the nation’s top legislature responds to public needs.

To implement the law and make it work effectively, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said it will give stronger support to technological innovation in constructing accessible services.

The use of new technologies to guide the blind, along with voice control and speech recognition, will be encouraged, the ministry said, adding that it will also require enterprises to “bridge the digital gap” to ensure the elderly and disabled enjoy technological convenience.

The China Disabled Persons’ Federation has promised to organize visits to accessible facilities and provide feedback to relevant departments.

The federation also said it will compile and publish more books in Braille and provide versions for those with poor vision.

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Correct Use & Management of Online Data! (12.8.2023)

Mr. Somsawat Phongsa also stated that social media has both a positive and negative aspect related to the contemporary way of human life. The positive aspect is that it helps to communicate all types of data quickly – so that contemporary world events can be recognized within minutes. At the same time, there are still a number of people who do not know (or are not aware of) how social media can be used in the wrong way – such as broadcasting information that distorts the truth and which is intended to benefit themselves at the expense of harming others.

Dialectically Assessing Religious History! (16.7.2023)

An intuitive (collective) grasp does not constitute a material consensus. Of course, the work of Marx and that of the Bourgeois intellectuals featured above does intersect. Marx, however, must be ‘ignored’ because his method (if pursued to its logical conclusion) – not only exposes the inverted nature of religion – but also the inverted nature of the entirety of Bourgeois society (including those intellectuals who expose religion – but do not expose the predatory capitalism it creates and they rely on) because such an admittance would effectively end Bourgeois existence and see it subsumed within a Socialist Revolution!

The Case for Karl Marx NOT Being an Ethnic Jew! (2.7.2023)

His mother was the daughter of a Prussian (Christian) aristocrat. Marx would have experienced Judaism very much in the same objective manner that most non-Jews do – through the pages of academic books and perhaps the odd site-seeing tour. Indeed, Marx even penned an article addressing the so-called ‘Jewish Question’ – where he treats the presence (and activities) of Jews with an alarming frankness. This has led a number of commentators to treat Marx in something of a unique way, as he is simultaneously accused of being a Jew on the one-hand, and acting in an anti-Semitic (Secular) manner on the other!

Islamic Republic of Iran: Maziar Kebat (مازیار کتابت) Chen Style Taijiquan Practice in the Southwest Fars Province! (18.6.2023)

The setting is beautiful as is the high quality of the martial technique! I suspect that we may assume from this that ‘Taijiquan’ is considered ‘Halal’ within the faith of Islam – a fact which grants the practitioners a certain enhanced ‘virtue’. In China, Islam (and Muslims) are greatly respected for a) their spiritual purity and b) their martial integrity! Good to see Taijiquan in Iran and the people united in practice!
