the basics
the posts on this blog are written by alicia hamberg, with the guidance of mr dog, the canineosophist, and with inspiration from rudolf steiner, the anthroposophist, and the rest of our friends, people, dogs and strange beings who hang out with us in this remarkable ethereal kiosk-

- 'Perhaps humankind can't bear too much reality, but neither can it bear too much unreality, too much abuse of the truth.' (Saul Bellow)

- '448 OMAR KHAYYÁM Omar had a personality; I, for better or worse, have none. In an hour I’ll have strayed from what I am at this moment; tomorrow I’ll have forgotten what I am today. Those who are who they are, like Omar, live in just one world, the external one. Those who aren’t who they are, like me, live not only in the external world but also in a diversified, ever-changing inner world. Try as we might, we could never have the same philosophy as Omar’s. I harbour in me, like unwanted souls, the very philosophies I criticize. Omar could reject them all, for they were all external to him, but I can’t reject them, because they’re me.' (F Pessoa)

- 'Mrs Glass looked over, abstractedly, at the blue bathmat, across the tiled floor. Zooey stood as still as possible, in order not to break her mood. "You can't live in the world with such strong likes and dislikes," Mrs Glass said to the bathmat, then turned again toward Zooey and gave him a long look, with very little, if any, morality in it. "Regardless of what you may think, young man," she said.' (JD Salinger)
-
- 'Art only begins where imitation ends.' (Oscar Wilde)
-
- '"I like zooey's blog," Steiner would say, "It's the only internet site with a foyer. Saul and I often meet there, by the ethereal kiosk. The ice-cream is splendid."' (ThetisMercurio)
-
- 'What is the use of telling people repeatedly that the Society is not a sect and then behave as if it were one?' (Steiner)
-
- 'Laughter means distance. Where laughter is absent, madness begins. The moment one takes the world with complete seriousness one is potentially insane.' (Jens Bjørneboe)
-
- 'If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.' (Oscar Wilde)
-
- 'Let's act like sphinxes, however falsely, until we reach the point of no longer knowing who we are. For we are, in fact, false sphinxes, with no idea of what we are in reality. The only way to be in agreement with life is to disagree with ourselves. Absurdity is divine.' (F Pessoa)

comments & discussion
comments in swedish, norwegian, danish, english, german are very welcome and much appreciated; and even though I do understand some french, spanish, dutch and italian, I prefer the aforementioned five languages. As a side-note: I eat food, not anthroposophists. And I'm not half as evil as you might think.rss

Theme: Vigilance by The Theme Foundry.
Starts November, ends February and lasts for 6 months – I expect they have a time machine…
can I just howl? Close your ears.
Nick doesn’t need the course, he’s already thinking critically. (That ad is slightly unclear to my confused brain, I must admit.)
I hope they have a time machine. It’s very useful. But if they travel back to Rudolf’s times, he might not be there. He’s refusing to stay in the past, even if it would only be to entertain anthroposophical time-travellers.
Well, they’re starting in Feb., ending in Nov., but that still ain’t 6 months.
Really though we must give them credit. They are trying. I doubt a course titled “critical thinking” has ever before appeared in a Waldorf- or anthroposophy-related training.
I need to know who the instructor is, though … will go try to find out.
No wait, Nov. 30 is just the date the announcement was published. Maybe we need a refresher course ourselves …
Yes, it’s very good actually; it’s a good path for them. Though I can’t help but wonder how they’ll approach it.
Please, if you find out more, tell us!
It’s still confusing though, because it runs 6 months and the end date is feb 14. I took this screenshot this evening (CET), so it doesn’t really match *upcoming* events in any case…
