Inner Landscape
With practice you can become as intuitively aware of your internal physical environment, as [of] your external physical environment. With greater practice, the contents of your own mind will become as readily available. You will see your thoughts as clearly as your inner organs. In this case you may perceive them symbolically through symbols you will recognize, seeing jumbled thoughts for example as weeds, which you can then simply discard. You can request that the thought content of your mind...
Read MoreTomato Tree, What’s as Stake?
Ideas and inspiration are much like plants. Usually they don’t require our attention to grow by themselves in nature, and some of them, like dewberries, are even sweeter and more delicious when picked on their wild thorny bushes than in a neatly groomed garden.

However, no matter how stubborn and greedy humans may be, nature still has...

Read MoreMimsy were the Froggletons
Synchronicities are funny thing. Here follows a list of funny ones which have bumped into our awareness since we came back from Spain, somehow strangely connected to the plot of the Last Mimzy. When we’re interested in something, everything around us appears to refer to it (the mystics call these phenomena “signs,” the sceptics “coincidence,” and psychologists “concentrated focus,” although I’ve yet to find out what term historians should use). – Paulo Coelho,...
Read MoreFroggletons prepare for their holidays
In Froggleton Land, Gallic country where cousins of the Eggletons lived, two little Froggletons wanted to break free. They cleverly devised a plan to go on holidays to visit an Eggleton friend. « Hurry Ishy, it’s 57! We have an airplane to catch up » Eli said to Ishy. So off they were, in the tube directly to the airport. It was crowded in the subway, but very soon, they were on the treadmills of the airport. « Here we go » Eli said to Ishy as the plane was taking off....
