ALL WORK CAN BE A JOY 
-- But it must be moderate enough in how much time and 
energy each session of work requires, and it must be 
seen to have a function of relevance to society

[As of 2011:4:9 (afternoon, as for GMT hours)]

The meditator knows that all laziness can be a joy, but 
perhaps, at the moment of writing, it is not understood 
by everyone that every type of job whatsoever can also 
be a joy, given two conditions: moderate amount of it, 
and a clear-witted perception of its function relative 
to the goodness of society as it is or as it will 
develop.
  This, I think, is the necessary perspective we need to 
take with us to shape adequate politics to handle what 
across the globe is called 'the problem of 
unemployment'. All over Earth, tremendous resources are 
going in to trying to get people having jobs rather than 
hanging around and having a number of potential issues, 
ranging from illness to the temptation of crime, and 
typically with some measure of poverty which however 
vary according to state finances, and also according to 
what the state has landed upon, at least temporarily, as  
its take on this challenge. 
  I began this article by an overstatement. It is not 
true that EVERY form of laziness can be a joy, even to 
the person who has begun opening herself to the 
sensitivities of feeling the order of cosmos, whether as 
prayer or as the meditation in doing something 
pleasantly repetitive, or the meditation of reading, 
drawing, or employing a mantra, or meditation as dance, 
also the dances known as martial arts be it qi gong, 
shadow boxing or whatever.
  For laziness ought to be experienced as deserved, as a 
meaningful breaking of recreation of the body, the skin,  
the brain, the hairs, in between just such functional 
work as is the alternative to laziness. It can be part 
of laziness to drowse on in bed after a couple of days 
of hard action, sorting memories, asking fresh 
questions, going in and out of dreaming, gradually 
emerging in a vast creative way for the evening, after 
late cleansing. 
  Such laziness is not in the slightest sense wrong: it 
is meditative, whether consciously done as meditation or 
not, and of excessive importance to get many times pr 
month for the teen glow of the skin and firmness and 
overall fitness of the body to refurbish itself with 
fresh coherence. Those who slosh in alcohol or much 
tobacco or much of any type of chemical restorative 
beyond simple food concentrates get a too artificial 
repair of the body and the mind to truly regain that 
teen glow which is both health and sexuality in one 
dancing, fearless, playful innocence.
  Moderation, then, is what must be applied as to any 
type of work. The more stressful the work, the more 
moderation must be applied. 
  But the stress can only be kept reduced, kept down, 
kept fully in leashes, if existential problems about 
this work is not bothering the person overly much.
  In my brief experiences of work in some of the 
departments of the United Nations -- in Oslo, New York 
and Mexico -- I was attracted to the U.N. place solely 
because of its official definition -- to enhance peace 
among the world's populations, all that -- but found 
that, amongst the staff, the concern most clearly 
expressed was that of the inadequacy of other U.N. 
departments (or staff), while the idealistic spirit I 
had hoped to sense being cultivated there seemed to be 
almost quite as remote in any of the large companies in 
which I had done some computer programming work earlier 
on. In one way, one might say: leave the cultivation of 
the idealistic spirit -- or the explanation of how this 
work or this company or organisation fits in a 
functional sense with society, with the wellbeing of 
humanity -- to the individual. But, on thinking about 
it, it is to me clear that it is the task of the bosses 
in ANY type of an organisation to give not only a task, 
but also an explanation of how this contributes to the 
good of society, even if very indirectly. For this is 
the ground-contemplation, in words, in gestures, in a 
smile of communion, which replenishes our energies in 
going to meet with a task, that it has a function in 
society. It is not something the individual must do in 
between the morning cleansing and the morning coffee. It 
requires time, and it must have time. Official time.
  If then a company exists for no other reason than to 
give an extra bunch of dollars to someone who is already 
having way too many of them, there is no way a 
meaningful explanation can be given for ANY job inside 
that company. But if politicians work out a framework, 
they can coerce the company prime goal descriptions to 
relate to the wellbeing of humanity, and those who have 
too many dollars, in whatever currency, have enough 
money to comply with such a framework. It is, therefore, 
a clear limit to how much so-called organisational 
consultants or whatever they call themselves -- they 
have, in the recent decade, given themselves several new 
names and acronyms, -- a limit, then, to how much such 
consultants ought to try to make a job which doesn't 
really have a function seem to have a function.
  And so this is part of the key to get rid of the issue 
of unemployment as an issue. People have the right to 
avoid jobs that are too greedily extracting many many 
hours of them pr week, especially when these jobs cannot  
honestly be motivated by anything but the salary motive. 
  It is the sloppiness, then, associated with the 
political framework that allows society to be clipped so 
much apart by reckless, un-functional companies that 
they cannot offer opportunities of that type of work 
which satisfy the two after all VERY simple criterions, 
(1) that it is moderate in the claims of the energies of 
this person, and (2) that an explanation of its function  
relative to society is constantly and naturally given, 
an explanation that does indeed hit the mark.
  So, if society corrects the framework for existence of 
jobs, then certainly everyone will take on jobs, and 
then it is possible with ease to explore the meditator's 
truth: that every type of job, just as every type of 
well-deserved laziness, can be a joy.
 
 
 


















 
 
NEED TO REVISE COMPULSORY AND HIGHER EDUCATION 
-- The blooming period, esp. for girls, have moved: but 
compulsory and adviced education length, paradoxically, 
is at a historical maximum

[As of 2011:4:8 (morning, as for GMT hours)]
Author of comment can contacted at atiroal@yoga6d.org]
  
What with the coming of Internet and the gadgets of 
electronics, with all their menues and extension options 
and the new type of society-make-up now seen, statements  
like these abound -- in music culture, in fashion 
culture, in common parlance -- quoted from memory of 
recent readings:
  "14 is the new 16" (some years ago)
  "11 is the new 14. But one has to be able to do design 
like one four times that old." 
  "Some thinks that 12-year-old girls are a special 
version of 16-year-old girls."
  "She is already 19. Way too much to begin on this 
race."
  "NN is turning 18 and will soon look like a **** just 
like NN. But, fortunately for us, she has a gifted 
little sister."
  "Anybody above 9 must be considered old."
 
But as much as some people declare it wrong that the 
'innocence' of children is challenged by a music, 
fashion, industry and technology culture that wants them 
to 'stay as children' for as long as possible, there are  
many voices who chime in with Pink Floyd's classic "The 
Wall" and claim that compulsory education and 
recommended (strongly recommended) higher education -- 
colleges, high school, or even universities -- taking up 
years and years, ushering boys and girls well into their  
upper twenties before it is complete, is all about 
making them into "another brick in the wall". 
  The rapid advance in pop technology has, indeed, put 
into question the whole point of sticking for years and 
years, full-time, at outdated books, just to realise 
that -- instead of 'starting out life with innocence 
intact' they are 'starting out life already old enough 
to be practically a retired person'. As if the 
technology development, oriented much towards getting 
kids up-to-date and above adults wasn't enough, world 
puberty age statistics show that more and more kids are 
getting into puberty already at the very first 
schoolyear. The protection of innocence seems then also 
betrayed by the raging hormones inside their bodies, to 
confound the question of what indeed is the proper way 
of growing up and attacking the world, careerwise, in 
the most harmonious way.
  I think the whole trouble began when politicians
across the world, more or less, begun to talk about 
"knowledge society" and of changing education at all
levels to be relevant for this "knowledge society". This
resulted in a vast increase of the somewhat meaningless
pressure on getting people to do complicated arithmetic
and specialised studies leading to some sort of higher
degree, and it led to jobs starting to select people 
on the grounds of such degrees. Instead, the knowledge
or information technology oriented society has made it
far more easy for kids to get entirely up-to-date in
many subjects without spending time at higher education
places at all. To truly respect the times we are in, 
I suggest that -- as an extreme measure worth thinking
about:
  * dismiss formal education papers as irrelevant 
  * get back to evaluating real skills and real quality
of behaviour when it comes to jobs
  * dismiss full-time compulsory education and rather
make a part-time education compulsory only for the 
smallest of kids, with:
  * an optional part-time education open for everyone
no matter age, in all walks of life
  * do not try to impose an adult-fake-version of 
childhood "innocence" on children anymore, but rather
get real about the fact of the openness and transparency
of the knowledge society -- let children be as much
children as they want to, and as much adults as they want
to -- it is not something to be regulated by politicians
  * put in, as part of the compulsory minimum 
education, a combined esthetics and ethics course which
can be nicknamed something as 'the beautiful action',
where quality of behaviour and an artistic and also
spiritual longing for deeper values can be seen to be
penetrating all walks of life.










 
THE THREE FORMS OF BEAUTY 
-- though beauty is not, and cannot ever be, limited in 
any way to a system, formula or recipe

[As of 2011:4:3 (evening, as for GMT hours)]
Author of comment can contacted at atiroal@yoga6d.org]
  
The three forms of beauty are 
  (1) the absolute 
  (2) the relative, but real
  (3) the cartoon inspired dimension, lingering in 
between the two
  I say this solely because of the attribution of 
'fantasy' to the exploration of the spiritual beauty 
concept in the V&A 2011 exhibition on Aesthetics. Only a 
believer in dark atheism can say of exploration of 
beauty that this exploration belongs to fantasyland. 
Only a believer in decay can declare of aestheticism 
that it is but a wave or a political phase, which art 
must evolve out of. It is peculiar how the gardens and 
too-big castle rooms, and the greed to up one's prestige 
among the aristocratic families of Great Britain can 
ensnare the minds of thinkers to go so deeply into 
barren illusions as the V&A museum -- the museum of 
Vanity & Ambition, is that what V&A means?
  What London must have is just a whole lot more of the 
bohemian spirit of the Preraphaelites, the PRB-signers 
of their explorative paintings. The fact that PB or PRB
didn't do it all the way through -- this exploration of 
beauty -- meant that they got imitators, because there
are always some who are ready to copy that which doesn't
shine too well to be copied. So PRB spread, in a fashion,
so much all across the world that the world could not
go into a reverse. Still, it was incomplete, and 
something new had to be worked out. For PB or PRB stuff
looked too much like photo, which came on more and more,
and it became too fat, too big-jawed, too small-eyed,
and the friends became too engaged in their women and
parted due to animosities, if we are to believe the
biographers. It is not all that interesting, but it is
a fact that the exploration of spiritual beauty HAD to
transcend the limitation imposed on it in Italy by the
Vatican, though the Borgia family with the sex-loving
Lucretia did something more bohemian and far more 
PRB-like than those who tried to keep to christianity
as a religion where the sensual belongs to the Devil,
and where God is king over the land where bodies have
no hearts in them -- the bloodlessness and non-
sensuality of a big portion of Italy's religious art
destroyed Italy's religious impulse, and it hasn't
fully recovered from this to this day -- and this 
despite the fact that catholics more than protestants
have protected a fair degree of sensuality in their
worldview -- yet both fell immensely short of the
potentials which could have been unleashed with the
coptic approach, if expanded eclectically as I have 
done. 
  So estheticism wasn't a wave for there wasn't all
that much esthetics at that time -- though enough to
make Tolkien make what he made, inspired also by 
norse myths and by the WW II around him. The girl
belonging to Tolkien's vision of God -- the king
of wizards called Bombadil -- this girl was none
other than a skinny, pretty-footed version of the
girls in the most successful of the PRB paintings.
This girl, commander of the spring, one of God's
muses, above time and above the lower muses, or
the elves, -- or some would perhaps choose the
vocabulary of a hierarchy of angels, as the 
catholics have done -- and her sisters occurring
in veiled form around in Tolkien's masterful
stories -- became archicons for the fashion 
industry photographers, for the weavers of stories
of supergirls and so on.
  BUT THERE IS NO AESTHETICAL WAVE. Just as life is
not a wave, so beauty is not a wave: life is 
foundational, health is foundational, beauty is
foundational -- and art is an elevation of what
is foundational to lift up humanity's spirits and
souls to glimpses of connectivity with the absolute.
  In any case, some decades went before others 
picked it up, in new ways -- such as in the Madonna 
cartoon-oriented impressionistic stuff of Munch, or the 
kiss by Klimt, and then the mantle of art went, for a 
while, before Internet, over to Vogue and such; with the 
coming of the new thinking on what feline femininity is 
all about by photos of Campbell, Schiffer, Moss in the 
1990s -- with then the sudden transformation of thinking 
on Earth by the connected computers of the Internet. 
  Beauty is not a wave. It is, as Jiddu Krishnamurti 
pointed out, Danger. 
  The absolute beauty sought through spirituality is 
like the flame Moses saw on the mountain, the flame that 
said -- I am That I am -- and which added, 
coincidentally, that anyone who sees it (Moses, 
fortunately, had his back to it), must die: the beauty 
of God and his muses cannot be faced by any human being. 
If they try to hard, they get into that feverishness of 
mind which indicate that the soul has taken a pause, the 
pause that marks the sad signs of incoherence, also 
called "insanity", but this latter word should really 
never be used by anyone who has a societal function as 
to anyone else, for it requires something beyond mere 
human perceptiveness to do the ultimate distinction 
between coherence and incoherence.
  The relative beauty shouldn't be fixed up -- it can be 
abstractified, perhaps half-way towards the cartoon 
(ref. my Profile program, and my Luminous program) -- 
but it should be left at relativeness, though that is 
not the same as to say that there is not an ocean of 
difference between a photo that shows relative beauty 
and one other photo, perhaps of same person, which 
doesn't show beauty. I would say it is hubris to try to 
reach spiritual beauty of the absolute kind with a 
photo: about such things, perhaps in a slightly 
different context, I have written much about. 
  The third category of beauty speaks of leaving aside 
the pressures of shadows and of going beyond too-fixed 
expressions of emotions; it simplifies, enhances fun 
symmetries, sometimes with daring strokes of assymmetry 
and the arrhythmic, and it dancingly can emphasise the 
kid's possible natural skinniness into the sweetly 
absurd -- with proportions between leg-length and 
torso-length heightened towards spiritual absoluteness, 
but with the intended height of the girl small enough to 
make her cute enough to fit well within the cartoon 
dimension. 
  There is a reason why the atheist type of chattering
goes on so rapidly and so intensely, -- and yet we must 
not confuse rapidness with consciousness. The more rapid
computers get, the less consciousness they allow to 
prosper. Duration is essential, which is the approach we
take with Lisa GJ2 Fic3, the programming language. A game
is not a game without some playful free fluctuation, nor
is it a game without some duration. Consciousness cannot
be transferred into a domain where excessive greed for
speed has destroyed the humane, natural feel of 
technology. Too-rapid commenting in too-rapid computer
networks and too-much phoning and too-much chatter is
but nervous cocaine-like twittering without depth.
  So also must we say of art that it mustn't be too much
of it, for too much means too much rapidness, so too
little duration, too little consciousness in them --
even though each lucky item which survives the artist's
hand which deletes some of the delicate creations when 
they are wrong may have been unfolded too-fast for 
thought, in a meditative moment. Art, naturally, is done
best by the female, for she gives duration to what she
is doing, inspired by the arrythmic duration of her own 
menstruation. 
  One who taught me much of how to work with art (F.W.)
said -- or so I understood -- that there is rather
little point in making art while one looks at models, 
-- for then it would merely be an imitation of the 
looks of her; but if the models are giving an energy, 
then, looking away from the models, there is an 
expression from within which can be art. 
  But art must also give humanity the type of stimuli
that goes beyond the predictable, the easy-to-overview,
-- the interesting type of RFFG or relatively free
fluctuation. The teaching of some bits and pieces of
Manhattan, New York, to all artists, I would say, is
this: juxtapose much of the relatively unpredictable,
relatively abstract, relatively squarish, much lighted
up, tall, and with playful words written on it -- I
am thinking of Times Square also -- so as to shatter
the human self for a sweet moment and open it for 
Beauty. 
  But do not make a system out of beauty, not a recipe
out of it, nor say, please, that is a wave. Nobody
owns it, nobody should copyright a label involving
the word in a primary form, and much as there is hubris
to claim the possession of absolute beauty -- a very
severe hubris -- it is also a form of hubris to say
of art that it EVER can go beyond beauty in ANY form.
  It is the aspiration to beauty which, when taken
to the pleasant, meditative extreme, that also becomes
the aspiration to compassion, to goodness, to humour,
to wholeness, to health and healing, and the natural
togetherness of these timeless values for all exists
in the female brain, written in both manifestly and,
more importantly, at a subtle level, more subtle than
both genes and the control-genes that by some has been
(wrongly, in my opinion) been called 'epigenetic'.
  When we then hear that people in many places of the
world are requesting abortions after having used
certain technologies to determine the gender of the
foetus soon after conception, so as to increase the
amount of males born relative to females, it is not
strange that the world is so full of wars. Males are
stupid, and the more people who get this fact fully
realised, the more it should be clear that those 
countries which are in favour of abortion should
campaign to have the tendency reversed, by employing
just the same techniques as have led to this abhorrent
false development in world population statistics.
  This, too, is part of the exploration of beauty:
what it means to contribute in ways that are deeply
righteous towards a more beautiful world. Of course,
one has to then do one's bit of personal spiritual
exploration so one doesn't for one second fall into
the catholic web of nonsensical categorisations of
conception as a moment of soul and spirit. Souls and
spirits are far more demanding than that. A mere 
blob of a beginning foetus is not enough invitation
for reincarnation. Give the newborn a year or, 
better still, a year and a half, and we can begin
to talk about soul and spirit. Before then, I would
say -- and all my intuitions have agreed for a long
time with this fully -- the child is more biology
than person, -- which is not to deny that there are
immense personality aspects even in a manifest way
in the baby, and fantastic skills such as the 
capacity for the newborn to handle water perfectly.
  The world opens for a person who dedicates herself
to beauty, beyond the formula, beyond any waves, 
beyond any limiting political definition-attempt
of art. Beauty is non-en-cageable.
 













NEW EXHIBITION IN LONDON TRIES, PERHAPS FALSELY, TO 
NARROW THE SCOPE OF THE PRE-RAPHAELISTIC BROTHERHOOD
-- The London exhibition claims that the point of 
Rossetti and his friends was to merely object to 
realistic art, in a fantasy category which the V&A 
museum denotes a subsection of a 'cult of beauty'

[As of 2011:4:3 (morning, as for GMT hours)]

For those who have any sense of deeper nuances in what 
art, including the art made now -- which no longer is 
typically called 'contemporary' for the word ART has 
become too rich to be limited to such a 
quasi-revolutionary adjective -- art is new, 
contemporary art is past-century -- they will know, on 
seeing what Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his friends did 
wasn't merely to object against ugliness.
  Rather, they were objecting to catholic branding of 
beauty within its own doctrines with its thin-lipped, 
droplet-shape faces, devoid of heart-beats. That was not 
just the actual reality of these paintings, but also 
part of the reason why they called themselves P.B. or 
Pre-Raphaelistic Brotherhood -- viz., before Raphael.
  What they did was to throw away some, but not all, of 
the conditions surrounding the beauty concept, and 
recover what we can reasonably call some elements of 
russian girl beauty -- high cheekbones, sensual lips, 
and in their best paintings, large, and somewhat wide 
and sometimes very slihgtly slanted eyes.
  This is not a Cult of Beauty. It is an attempt to 
understand one bit more of beauty as such, beauty as 
something spiritual, and obviously reaching something 
new while just as obviously not yet touching on the 
fullest sense of the more masculine feminine young 
supermodel with long legs as fully came through with 
Naomi Campbell. The fact that many artists to-day has 
very little anatomical understanding does not justify 
that these artists can rebrand honest efforts by some 
artists who worked hard at what they did, and did so 
creatively -- like the P.B. folks in 19th century -- as 
a mere political movement. This is but cover-up of the 
degeneration which too long has been hailed by art 
historicians as evolution. 
  The challenge to the artist who wants to make a living 
in economical terms out of making art is that beaty is a  
call on selflessness, and does not yield to as many 
insincere options as those who merely seek a new concept 
to brand to their name.
