  4. The Beginnings of Man -Part 1

    The nature of Man has evolved over millions of years, changed by environmental conditions, by the response of his instinctual nature and by the actions of his ego. Man’s inner characteristics are altogether different from the ancestral root which governs other species. Why then is he so different?

  5. My ret-constellation for the #constellation #sagitta was to align it with a modern archer (rather than random assorted Hercules stories or an Apollo killing cyclops story) -- some options I considered:

    Kate Bishop Hawkeye
    Merida from Brave
    Robin Hood

    ... but ultimately, who would be better than Legolas?!

  11. Whom do you serve? This is the question of the Grail in the Fisher King.

    This is part 12 of 13 dialogues with Claude about the parable of the Two Valleys.

    In the mid-90's, I spent years reading the complete works of Carl Jung, studying Archetypal and Depth Psychology.

  12. Failed #Prophecies: The #Mythic Origins of the #OldTestament #Apocalypse

    youtube.com/watch?v=zWD93fGrPVY

    Join #DerekLambert as we uncover the mythic origins of #apocalyptic #prophecy, tracing how #ancientHebrew seers borrowed flood #epics, dragon-slaying tales, and cosmic upheaval #myths from Mesopotamia, Canaan, and Egypt—and why their vivid predictions of “the #DayoftheLord” never came to pass.

    watched the whole of The Dust Bowl yesterday. thanks for the recommendation.
    horrific, some of the stories of children. i should imagine people who lived through it were too traumatised to talk about it later.
    i don’t know why i was a bit shocked about california closing the border — displacement has been the norm in the west since forever

    something similar to the dust bowl and canadian prairies happened in south australia, though on a smaller scale. (south australia is the driest inhabited state in the world).
    an early surveyor named Goyder drew a line on the state map showing the limits of arable areas, based on rainfall. after a few wet years, in 1874 the govt allowed settlement north of the line - there were some boom years, a railway line built from the stage capital to a town named confidently named *Farina* - and the post hoc euro myth “rain follows the plow”. by 1884 it was all over.

    the north of the state is now littered with ghost towns and the remains of a railway line. i guess the scale of settlement didn’t warrant govt intervention, cos there has been no effort to rehabilitate the area.

    my generation grew up with pictures of men delivering goods and mail in the outback, and believed them to be modern (white) heroes conquering an impossibly inhospitable land. no one told us we had destroyed the ecosystems.
    documentary trailer; back of beyond - youtu.be/NSa4esN3CHM?feature=s

    goyder’s line is moving south. and mega corporations buying water rights to grow cotton and rice have all but destroyed australia’s river sytems, which were fragile to begin with.

    fig 2 of the research article provides a snapshot of just how little of the mainland is suited to western style agriculture.
    our indifference to global miles travelled by the food we import will eventually bite us on the bum, but not soon enough. i guess we still won’t care about what our fossil fuel exports are already doing to millions of people in countries already affected by climate change.
