A Tale of the Unexpected – Synchronicity
Read more: A Tale of the Unexpected – SynchronicityWe don’t know the truth of the hypothesis, but Carl Jung’s notion of synchronicity is a gripping one. Jung suggests that extraordinary coincidences and inexplicable events may be the result of connection and communication which exist below the surface of consciousness. Telepathy, empathy, intuition, foreknowledge and so on are forms of mental transmission made possible… Know More
April in Paris – Pigalle and the Picaresque
Read more: April in Paris – Pigalle and the PicaresqueProbably April has never been the best month to visit Paris. It is not too warm, and the wind blows, and there is a sense of a city coming out of hibernation. A few years on from my first visit, I approached the Museum of Erotica in the Pigalle, slaloming around the street girls in… Know More
She’s giving me good vibrations…
Read more: She’s giving me good vibrations…A new book has just arrived in a bookstore near you. It is called Love and Sex with Robots and is written by David Levy, an expert in artificial intelligence. In the review of it that I read yesterday (the excellent Christopher Hart, Sunday Times), it appears as though we have already entered a world… Know More
Torching Tibet
Read more: Torching TibetHearing an apparatchik on yesterday’s news, conjuring up disturbing realpolitik regarding the demonstrations against China’s conduct in Tibet was just about as reprehensible as could be imagined. This Olympic Official said that the protesters were without political conviction and were just jumping on a new bandwagon to air their personal grievances and gain attention to… Know More
Self-administered brain growth
Read more: Self-administered brain growthWell, I watched the BBC 2 programme last night on meditation, half-expecting the same result as when I, myself, meditate, falling asleep just when I think I am getting somewhere – or, actually, nowhere, that being the point of it! I’m glad I didn’t, not because Kathy Sykes, Professor of perspiring femininity and Doctor of… Know More
Cancers may be cured – but we will still die
Read more: Cancers may be cured – but we will still dieArthur C Clarke died this week. I remember going to the Edinburgh Festival to see 2001 in the sixties. It was a premier, but whether it world or British, I can’t remember. It was too earnest a gathering to have druggies sitting in the front row, being blasted into a semi-religious trance by the kaleidoscopic… Know More
Juno what I think?
Read more: Juno what I think?Juno, the film, is about teenage pregnancy. It divides critics. There are those who find it awkward and clunky and others like myself who had a real laugh and thought it very wittily written. Talking to people who hated it and restraining myself from adversarial passion (something I have to guard against) I tried to… Know More
Premature Burial: how does it feel?
Read more: Premature Burial: how does it feel?There are some films that you know are probably very good but you are prevented from going to them by a deep inertia caused by fear. You are unwilling to expose yourself to a meditation on a possible state of being which is so appalling that you go rigid at the very thought. And this… Know More
There will be blood then? Not really.
Read more: There will be blood then? Not really.Well I saw Daniel Day Lewis et al in the Rive Gauche arts cinema in Perpignan this afternoon knowing all the hype, the Oscar, an interview with the King of Guignol, himself, on television but with the sinking heart of one who fears the worst. I wasn’t far wrong. Those who have compared There Will… Know More
