Re: Mind's Eye Re: Search for meaning

Happens to me all the time too Allan. I also ran right into pantheism by
an offshoot, well my main new discovery was something I haven't read
before (which is a nice surprise) called 'neutral monism' that sounded
very familiar, as does Taoism, panpsychism, animism and the lot. This
eventually (today) lead to something that sounded like a little bit of
everyone (recent comments made), mostly a reflective or loose commentary
about Animism and Personhood but mostly for 'fun' reading:
http://ecoanimism.com/blog/heather-awen/2013-jun-23/animism-personhood

The personhood concept is interesting to me, as I haven't had the
concept to aid my own experiences, need to reflect on what my mind is
doing before becoming attached.

Re: Illies´s novel 1913 on BBC Radio 4

Dear Elsa

 

Thanks for noticing this! I'm devoted to Radio 4, but somehow had missed this bit of news. Let's hope that several of us listen to it and can discuss it.

Dear all,

Floran Illies novel 1913: The Year before the Storm will be read as Book of the Week on the BBC Radio 4, in 5 episodes, starting Monday 22 July.

The book was discussed on the Swedish radio a couple of weeks ago, and it was quite exciting finding that the BBC now is making it their Book of the Week. As I hadn´t heard of this author before, I´m afraid I don´t know anything at all about him or his book, but it sounds very interesting indeed. 

The web-link is 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03757cp

Looking forward to a lively discussion about this novel! I´m going to be glued to the computer listening to Illies´s novel 1913: The Year before the Storm.

Best wishes

Elsa
