  2. Maybe white crows are like siddhis & aren't meaningful unless they serve to connect with the greater, non-physical reality. But I still get a huge kick out of discovering new ones.

    And yes – please bring Ronnie back for a Livestream.

  5. Thank you for a great interview. Two hundred years ago, scientific materialism became the new worldview. Goethe, the last alchemist, described it brilliantly in Faust. Carl Jung said he carried on the legacy of Goethe and Nietzsche. He, together with Wolfgang Pauli, approached the matrix of being – the archetypes.

  6. The marginalization of the people of color in the 19th century led not only to the Civil War in mid century, but also war with Mexico before and the Indian Wars after the Civil War. The tactics used in the latter wars, according to some historians, were instrumental in the US war in the Philippines – perhaps America's first major foreign war. This caused a reaction among the American people. The Anti-Imperialist League, for example, was formed. Mark Twain was the vice president of the League until he died.

  7. In Franz Liszt's first piano concerto, written around the time of the american civil war, I perceive a narrative of his personal life events with the repeated triangle usage, as the doorbell of visitors interrupting his work on the piece, followed by his use of a "sampling" of the american national anthem used with an air of the tragic. This seems an educated european's view of what was going on in the states during this period.
