On Stuart Wilde’s website, www.stuartwilde.com, I came across a site he recommends: www.rense.com. I figure it’s vital to try to understand what’s happening in the world, you know, hear the nitty-gritty of all sides. To do this it’s necessary to garner different opinions, well-researched opinions. And SW’s recommendations are reliable. Feast your eyes on www.rense.com, the whole of it, scroll the list of articles and videos. What do you fancy reading? There’s nothing to lose in reading and thinking differently. We can see things more clearly when we get away from the usual and go down a different path. Another perspective is refreshing; there’s always something new-lots-to know and understand about the world we all live in.
Lately I’ve been thinking about those people who are running for the White House. They are planning on spending a billion or so dollars to do this. How about that! There’s so much to learn about the world, and there are times when it’s necessary to go to different sources for this, to stray a bit from the run-of-the-mill stuff.
On to another subject: do you know that Jung said he wished he had fifty years to study the I Ching? I had the book at one time, but wasn’t prepared to delve into it then. I’m ready now. My first I Ching book was by RIchard Wilhelm and I saw his name on TGShiddenmysteries. So I googled Richard Wilhelm, then clicked on RIchard Wilhelm the Marco Polo of the Inner World of China. It said of Richard Wilhelm, among other things, “his 1923 translation of I Ching stands head and shoulders above the rest.”
This from youtube in referring to the industrial revolution, “2007 the world population surpasses 6.6 billion as the majority of people now live in cities than in rural areas, changing patterns of land use.” Whew! Speaking of numbers, a lot is being written about the great numbers of tourists traveling the world and that many World Heritage sites are being damaged. The Nov/Dec 2006 National Geographic Traveler had a lengthy article on World Heritage sites, 830 of them, and how they’re managing, or not, with the vast numbers of tourists visiting them daily. People are in the world and enjoy traveling. What’s the answer to this? Well, it seems to center on the countries where the World Heritage sites are located taking greater responsibility for the guardianship and upkeep of these sites. And we, too, as tourists, need to be mindful of how we traipse on these sites, how we use the land when visiting.
Ah, what a gripping, captivating, fascinating, thought-provoking, certainly not boring, world it is!
