Dreaming of “Happy Science”

July 15, 2010

I guess it had to happen sooner or later. This morning, just before I woke up, I had a lifelike dream where Happy Science in Norway held a congress on the south coast, so it was convenient for me to attend. It turned up that there were actually very few members who attended (though there [...]

A thoughtful silence?

June 23, 2010

I haven’t been writing much lately, but I have been thinking some, and observing myself as usual. I have been observing my dreams each morning.  This morning I dreamed that I had moved to (or perhaps built) a house on the road to the farm where I grew up. The road goes through a stretch [...]

April 12, 2010

“The cherry blossoms have not changed at all in the last thousand years….” Some things change daily, some not in a thousand years. Telling these apart is in itself a very useful skill, and can make a fool wise.
If we are to believe Happy Science (the Japanese religion movement, not just any happy scientist) there [...]

Icebergs of revelations

December 25, 2009

Picture shamefully stolen from Sciencebhakta, a blog at Good Shepherd Catholic School. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how a spiritual iceberg should look!
Ryuho Okawa, founder of the religious organization “Happy Science”, occasionally says some strange things.  For the most part, however, he says things that seem obvious once I see them, but for some reason [...]

Sixth-dimensional programmer

The Light is a source of absolute power, as I am sure I have told you repeatedly.  But this time it is an illustration from the anime “The Laws of Eternity”.
I have thought about this so often the last month or two, I almost believed I had written about it already.  So I better do, [...]

Science of happiness and prettiness

October 20, 2009

There is beauty for the eyes, beauty for the ears, and beauty for the mind.  Today I have enjoyed them all.
Got book from Amazon in my mail!  Actually it was too big for my mailbox, because they used a huge flat package. In a small box it would have fit right in, but I suppose [...]
