ellauri097.html on line 298: In 2006, the Weekend Australian newspaper conducted an experiment. They submitted chapter three of The Eye of the Storm (1973) to twelve publishers and agents around Australia under an anagram of White’s name, Wraith Picket. Nobody offered to publish the book. One responded, “the sample chapter, while reply (sic) with energy and feeling, does not give evidence that the work is yet of a publishable quality.” Notwithstanding that the chapter was not White’s finest writing, and the unfairness of submitting a chapter out of narrative sequence, the hoax prompted a minor crisis in Australian literature: if the industry couldn’t recognize the greatness of our sole Nobel winner, how unenlightened must the country’s publishing industry be now? Shortly thereafter, the ABC launched an online portal called Why Bother With Patrick White? The portal always struck me as sad. What other major writer would need a website dedicated to convincing his countrymen to give him another go? The link to the website is dead now. It would seem, in the end, that nobody could be bothered with Patrick White.

ellauri108.html on line 256: Rastas often claim that—rather than converting to the religion—they were actually always a Rasta and that their embrace of its beliefs was merely the realisation of this. There is no formal ritual carried out to mark an individual's entry into the Rastafari movement, although once they do join an individual often changes their name, with many including the prefix "Ras". Rastas regard themselves as an exclusive and elite community, membership of which is restricted to those who have the "insight" to recognise Haile Selassie's importance. Practitioners thus often regard themselves as the "enlightened ones" who have "seen the light". Many of them see no point in establishing good relations with non-Rastas, believing that the latter will never accept Rastafari doctrine as truth.

He created “The Personality Cards,” a powerful Oracle-Tarot deck that’s helpful in life, love and relationships. Paul studied with Lakota elders in the Pecos Wilderness, who nurtured his empathic abilities and taught him the sacred rituals. He has lived at ashrams with enlightened masters, including Amma, the Hugging Saint, for whom he’s delivered.

ellauri198.html on line 125: Warren kuului agraarikkojen ryhmään, jota johti John Crowe Ransom. Warren began as an enlightened conservative Southerner. Siis kumpana? Valistuxen vaiko taantumuxen peikkona? Agrarians, with Ransom in the lead, were determined to re-endow nature with an element of horror and inscrutability and to bring back a God who permitted evil as well as good—in short, to give God back his thunder.” His main question was ‘How is one to look at life?’ Taas 1 tollanen yearning-man, wannabe uskovainen joka kaipaa jämäkämpää jumalaa joka jakaa merkityxiä kuin hihamerkkejä.
ellauri302.html on line 66: Mrs. Warren cherishes no delusions about her dubious profession, — If Yekel and his wife (in Ash's play) are not so enlightened as Mrs. Warren in their views upon the traffic off which they live, they are in their own crude way equally sincere in beholding in it a business quite as legitimate as any other. With the same inconsistency with which Hindel implores Heaven for aid in achieving her nefarious aims, after which she promises to be a model wife and mother (See Act Two), Mrs. Warren at the end of Shaw's play swears by Heaven that henceforth she will lead a life of evil fornication.
ellauri368.html on line 325: Revealer of Secrets merits immense respect among readers of Judaic literature. With it Perl not only inaugurated a new branch of Hebrew writing but also entered the fray that was raging between enlightened maskilim and inspired hasidim , taking aim against corruption through sophisticated comic parodies. According to tradition, Perl's parody was so convincing that hasidic readers initially assumed that Revealer of Secrets was a genuine hasidic work. This impression was furthered by the presence of innumerable scholarly and pseudo-scholarly footnotes adorning the text.

ellauri449.html on line 686: He describes encounter-dialogue stories as "mass produced" and "artificially manufactured." "Pure manure", he sums up. Poceski points out how, in commenting on gong'an, Chan masters' interpretive possibilities are limited by "the straightjacket of a certain type of Chan orthodoxy." Poceski explains how gong'an have been put in the service of institutional agendas and have historically been tied up with nexuses of power. That is, in commenting on a gong'an, a master's authority is demonstrated to be both derivative and absolute: derivative in that it draws on the prestige of the earlier patriarchs, absolute in the sense that it gives the living master the last word and ultimate judgment. A person daring to articulate any sort of meaningful criticism can simply be dismissed as being an unenlightened ignoramus whose mind is filled with shallow views and one-sided attachments. So much for intellectual freedom and the need to question established authority.
xxx/ellauri027.html on line 312: The seminars slowed to a crawl. Wilber’s health deteriorated greatly (he was diagnosed with a rare disease that keeps him bed-ridden). He stopped writing. Ten years on, despite developing some fans in academia (some in high places), Wilber’s work had yet to be tested or peer-reviewed in a serious journal. Much of his posting online devolved into bizarre spiritual claims (such as this one about an “enlightened teacher” who can make crops grow twice as fast by “blessing them”).
xxx/ellauri169.html on line 395: Knight says she used to be “spiritually restless,” but not any more. Ramtha from Atlantis via Lemuria has enlightened her. He first appeared to her, she says, while she was in business school having extraordinary experiences with UFOs. She must have a great rapport with her spirit companion, since he shows up whenever she needs him to put on a performance. It is not clear why Ramtha would choose Knight, but it is very clear why Knight would choose Ramtha: fame and fortune, or simple delusion.
xxx/ellauri455.html on line 217: Svetlana Allilujeva (1926-2011): Josif Stalinin tytär. Myöhemmin Lana Peters. Vuonna 1967 hänestä tuli kansainvälinen sensaatio loikattuaan Yhdysvaltoihin ja vuonna 1978 hän sai kansalaisuuden. Vuosina 1984–1986 hän palasi lyhyeksi aikaa Neuvostoliittoon ja sai takaisin Neuvostoliiton kansalaisuutensa. Hän oli Stalinin viimeinen elossa oleva lapsi. Allilujevan äiti ampui itsensä 9. marraskuuta 1932. 'Näettekö, jopa meillä bolševikeilla on perhe-elämä.' 16-vuotiaana Allilujeva rakastui Aleksei Kapleriin , juutalaiseen neuvostoliittolaiseen elokuvantekijään, joka oli 22 vuotta häntä vanhempi . Hänen isänsä paheksui suhdetta jyrkästi, ja Kapler tuomittiin viideksi vuodeksi maanpakoon vuonna 1943 Vorkutaan ja sitten uudelleen vuonna 1948 viideksi vuodeksi työleireille Intiaan. Allilujeva avioitui ensimmäisen kerran vuonna 1944 Grigori Morozovin kanssa, joka oli Moskovan yliopiston kansainvälisten asioiden instituutin opiskelija. Hänen isänsä ei pitänyt Morozovista, joka oli juutalainen, vaikka ei koskaan tavannutkaan häntä. Stalin rakasti häntä, mutta oli "hyvin yksinkertainen mies. Hyvin töykeä. Hyvin julma". Oli nippu muitakin miehiä, viimetteexi Frank Lloyd Wrightin vävy Peters. Sit oli viä tämä Singh joka oli aika kipeä. Sen tuhkan Lana kaatoi Gangesiin. Upon her arrival from India in New York City in April 1967, she gave a press conference denouncing her father's legacy and the Soviet government. Her children who were left behind in the Soviet Union did not maintain contact with her.[when?] While Western sources saw a KGB hand behind this, her children claimed that this is because of her complex character. In 1978, Alliluyeva became a US citizen as Lana Peters, By around 1986 she had become impoverished, facing debt and failed investments. Having arrived in the West “blind with admiration for the FREE WORLD”, she had come to realize that the US and the USSR were morally equivalent. She had been convinced that “in the FREE WORLD people are superhuman, wise, enlightened… What a terrible blow it is to find out that… there are just the same idiots, incompetent fools, frightened bureaucrats, confused bosses, paranoid fears of deception and surveillance… this loss of idealism is what happens to defectors only too often. BECAUSE we all relied too much on propaganda.” She had not enjoyed "one single day" of freedom in the West and had been a pet of the CIA. She experimented with various religions. She was baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church on 20 March 1963. She spent too much time with catholics in Switzerland. She read books by authors such as Raissa Maritain. While living in Cambridge, on 13 December 1982, Alliluyeva converted to Catholicism. Lana's book was a naïve attempt to shift the blame for Stalinist crimes onto Lavrentiy Beria, and whitewash her own father.
