Reunion is TWO DAYS away!!
"Ahriman" as carved by Rudolf Steiner (click on description to view source article)
My fathers most recent book: "Intellectual Integrity and the search from truth" copyright 2008, is now available for reading on-line by clicking on the title.
I always find it curious that while there are some individuals who are brave enough to explore the new frontiers that the internet has to offer, there are still so many who hardly dip their toes in that vast pool that the internet can be.
I believe that the "computer" and the "internet" are certainly tools of Ahriman; however, it is up to each of us to master those tools, not shy away from them. We can either be swept away and drowned in that pool and its complex eddys and currents, or we can sip from its waters and learn how to cleanse ourselves in its waters, avoiding contamination. It is all about how we use this as a tool, or a weapon, it is in fact very much a double-edged sword. it has the ability to give us so much, but it can also take away so much of what humanity really is about. We are offered a choice, either it can master us, or we can become skilled enough so that we remain the master over it. This can be used as a tool for knowledge and communication, or a cesspool for pornography, spam and deceit. We either learn how to navigate its waters, or be become hopelessly lost and helpless in that ocean. It is certainly a sink or swim situation for civilization that the world is in these days. We certainly live in interesting times!
Pardon my digression, because what I was really intending to comment on was the lack of responses here. I would love to hear from each one of you, as would no doubt my father, who checks this each day.

Thanks so much, Ex Nuke. Unfortunately, in the conversion to HTML all the italicized text now runs into the previous word(s). Please feel free to copy this short work, and share it with your friends. BTW, Mr Bubblehead is coming to the reunion!!!
Yeah!!
Love you all, can hardly wait!
What browser are you using? With Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer it works fine.
Folks have told me that they are reading and enjoying the blog...I think, though, we have alot to learn still about how to work socially with this platform. Also, many of us already spend more time on a computer than we really want to and just don't want to get involved in another computer-based activity...The effort has been very worthwhile, and perhaps it will continue in some form after the reunion......
