Sutton: St Nicholas Church – Stain-Glass & Stones Exhibition! (14.9.2025)

14/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The history of England lies primarily within the grounds, buildings, and written records of its local Churches, who dealt with this information a long time before the Secular State developed – or was able to do so. The Local Authorities of Sutton possess a peculiar attitude toward local history – as if time started again in 1965 (and all previous history was wiped-out when Sutton was part of “East Surrey”) – when Sutton became part of Greater (South-West) London. Of course, for a price, Sutton Library might help you via an online enquiry – but this data is free during a personal visit. Whatever the case, always be on the look-out for local open-days and local historians.

Soviet Red Army Soldiers Meet British Army Soldiers - Iran (1941)

When the Left & Right Adopt One-Another’s Ideals! (30.8.2025)

The history is perhaps not so clear-cut as above – as when the UK controlled Palestine between 1917-1947 – British troops were called upon to keep the warring Muslims and Zionists apart. This meant that both sides viewed the UK as an enemy – and a friend – depending upon what was happening. Zionists, for instance, carried-out some the most hideous terrorist attacks upon British citizens and military – as did the various Arab factions. Indeed, even today, some of the Palestinian factions fighting in and around Gaza – still celebrate an ambush (and massacre) of British soldiers which occurred in 1936 – and which is believed to have been encouraged by Adolf Hitler (a man who had very good relations with the Mufti of Palestine). Not only did certain German Jews (Zionists) in Palestine develop very a good Hitlerite relationship – but they did this in parallel (and in distinction to) the good relations the Arabs already possessed! Hitler, at least in the years prior to WWII, held all the cards in Gaza, and was the puppet-master pulling all the anti-British strings.

Report: Ghost Hunting in North Devon! (29.8.2025)

29/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

With most of the lights off by 11pm, I sat on my religious chair (the Church dates back to the 14th century – and so does the chair). I cleared my mind and immersed myself into the ancient nature of the stone-work. The stone was cool to the touch – I went bare-foot to ground myself – and felt the calm structure of the place. No fear, no deception, and nothing to worry about, Although I neither support or oppose theology – I sensed the spiritual feel that all the attendees developed and projected into rge physical structure of the place. In many places in the UK, the Christians deliberately built their Churches on already existing Pagan sites of ancient spirituality – with nothing to do with a Christian god. The mistake that Christians make is that their own mind creates the religion they believe in – but they mistakenly believe that their religion exists “outside” their heads, independent of the mind that generates it. The perception is inverted and the wrong way around.

North Devon: St Peter’s Church – Bratton Fleming! (26.8.2025)

26/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This must be the most spectacular integration of religion and secularism. I never thought I would live to see the Church of England finally give-up their last line of sanctity and allow all and sundry to stay as many nights as they can afford – and do whatever they like during their stay – providing the interior of the Church is not damaged. As an academic who uses the average Church as an early form of a search-engine – I find this a fascinating opportunity – albeit slightly disturbing and a little bizarre. Theravada Buddhist Temples, of course, allow practitioners to stay within their interiors – being fed and cared for free – providing there is space. Absolutely NO money is asked for or required (a Buddhist monastic must not touch money of any type). Not all Buddhist Temples follow this idea outside of Thailand, Sri Lanka, or Laos, etc, but they should do.

Rubber Dinghies More Effective Than D-Day!

Bulgaria Rubber-Boat Saga – Starmer Stops Biggest Amphibious Landing in English Channel Since D-Day! (26.8.2025)

Perhaps Turkey is doing this by supporting illegal immigration into the UK? If the boats can be caught en route – then it is an easy task to name and shame the Turkish companies behind the manufacturers of these boats. Yes – it plays into the far-right narrative – but that is because the far-right is, in this instance, is simply relaying the news, albeit for their own nefarious purposes. Why is the far-left silent on this issue – and effectively dead in the water? Is it because the far-left has burned all its bridges by remaining silent about the US-inspired Neo-Nazi regime that has been in power in Ukraine since 2014 – whilst subsequently declaring Russia’s response to it as “Imperialist”. With a track record like that – the far-right – like a broken clock – is going to be right twice a day just be default! Meanwhile, Starmer is so unpopular that Labour has completely lost the plot – with this episode being so stage-managed it is ridiculous! Imagine not knowing where a product is made in today’s 24-hour capitalist society – where every bean is accounted for!

Dialectical Materialism & Rebirth for Marxists! (26.8.2025)

26/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

In a moment – things dialectically change forever. When the axe fell on the neck of Charles I in 1649 – the ancient convention of an absolute monarch in England ended forever. How could this have happened? Well, there was a Revolution which saw tens of thousands fight and die in England so that the emerging bourgeois class could usurp political power from the aristocracy. There was no future for the absolute monarchy. And yet the agency of the “moment”, despite its nature, continue to manifest unabated. Rebirth is not reincarnation – the Buddha hinted about the former but rejected the latter. Rebirth may not be what the average Marxist thinks it is. An effective Marxist regime must be replicated effectively from one generation to the next.
