Kinship system -> is explained by foundation myths -> is the boundary structure between the social and personality system plus -> technology (division of labor, patterns of cooperation, allocation of resources). A lack of boundedness is a mark of society's primitiveness. Kinship+Religion+Technology is the cement that binds them together. Heaven is NOT a policymaking agency. Confucianism, Platonism means rational adjustment to the world. Puritan rationalism means rational mastery over the world. Change of hormonal balance etc. -> Menticide is far superior to genocide. If a population is manipulated in the right ways it cannot transmit to the coming generations values and freedom it has lost itself, this is precisely what psychological manipulation aims at and has widely achieved. When you adapt you cannot conquer anymore. Human is an animal "symbolicum" not an animal "rationale". In human only the intellectual side has really improved, the moral side is like a chimpanzee.

______________The standard size of a Japanese patrician residence+garden (a shinden) is about 3.5 acre, always rectangle and open to the south. Rocks of the Heian style are placed in a straight line -> "night-morning" stones (yadomairi) -> they represent ships anchored at night in a harbor on their way to quest out treasures. -> Chödai (curtain platform) -> bedchamber-withdrawing room - > CENTER of room. Platform -> black (9 food square-12 inch high) -> straw mat, curtains, cushions, one end mirrors, other end rhino horns. Lion supports or Korean dog (komainu) -> both were actually the same except lion=yellow/mouth open, dog=white/mouth closed. -> Screen of state/Kichö (very important) > six foot portable screen supporting opaque hangings.

__________Shinto (the way of the gods) -> intellectual luggage -> also the Shingon sect was closely associated with art and learning -> Art is what reveals to us the state of perfection -> Tendai was the Heian state religion -> look for "GO" sets as well -> infanterie lustig infant -> paper colors -> blue=willow twig, green=oak, crimson=maple, white=iris

__________ Visual perception-static objects=preferences for the lower left -> in regard to movement the eye also moves in response to the unconscious process of measurement and the balance through the "felt axis" and left right, top bottom preferences. -> Knowledge is not possible without sensation and experience (openness to difference) -> J.G. v.H. Zerstreute Blaetter -> Hagakure=hidden leaves or hidden by the leaves. The essence of immortality is one's positive influence on later generations. Those who contribute to it in ways that foster human dignity and integrity are immortal."Extramundane" implies that god exists "outside of the world". ->"modes of perception". No distinctions between nature and grace, and grace and works. Conceiving them in all their diversity without losing sight of the unity. Every nation will develop mainly or exclusively those aspects which are given occasion for virtue, struggle, or process. Each form of human perfection is in a certain sense national, time bound, and most specifically individual. We develop only that which is occasioned by time, climate, necessity, world, or accidents of fate -> we disregard the rest. The age that wanders toward the desires and hopes of foreign lands is already an age of disease, flatulence, unhealthy opulence, approaching death. Since human beings are shaped by a particular culture and think through a particular language, they come to the TEXT with certain presuppositions. They "cannot" go "outside" language or rise to some point "beyond" their particular historical context -> thus the interpretation of any text will always be limited. The "organic" powers of human beings have to be at work. "Dynamic exercise" (lebendige Übung) -> appropriate truths/not simply repeat. -> "purest humanity in the purest way" -> "make human soul happy" -> always look up the original meaning. As ready as human beings are to imagine that they are self-made, they are nevertheless dependent on others for the development of their capacities. A continuous interaction of individuals that alone makes us human beings. It is memory that makes your identity, concepts in adjustment -> "the art of scent" -> kinuginu no fumi <- the "next morning letter". A sentiment being cannot confine any of its vivid feelings to itself and must immediately express each one involuntarily and unintentionally by a sound -> do not feel for yourself alone, but let your feelings resound.

____________1997 special of the week-EINTOPF-daily notes

Finding tomorrows men-a pragmatic collision ? -> The European is always more scientifically minded, more aware of his dependence on scientific theory and hence more flexible in his adoption of new ideas ? -> The American counterpart has seldom freed himself from a narrowly pragmatic point of view fostered and at the same time inhibited by the demand for immediate financial return-bourgeois-puritan economy ? -> Are there secrets on the internet-connect and you can read, speak Chinese, Hindu,...and understand their concepts immediately-even got the cost for your necessary equipment to do so reimbursed and got 1 million $ as well to participate in the global game of econopoly ? -> J.H. in Harvard learning a pigeon bowling and spending weekends in private Idaho ? -> Parallel to the social failure the gun laws will be lifted-sleeping under bridges or in parks becomes fashionable -> A single currency demands a single language ? -> Dominate or be dominated ? -> gated communities will evolve stronger then ever ? -> Thoreau or Tocqueville ? -> In the future you pay to be in "__________" and the "Grays" are waiting outside to hire you ? -> Porsche will introduce a Mini Van produced in Zimbabwe ? -> Mercedes moves from Alabama to Mexico, from 9$ an hour to 9$ a day ? -> Frau "______________"writes a book "Life is a tragedy-survival without Alzheimer's decease-book becomes a best-seller-later translated to 30 different languages ? -> The once popular song "time is on my side" is rediscovered ? -> Schooling system changes radically-only boarding or military schools-be prepared for the future ? -> New books will contain only blank pages ? -> The RKK will except Kwanza as another official holiday for all-paid for - further shall be admitted that Jesus is a common name in Mexico-he was the eleventh and most successful of the faith-inventor of the first real multi level marketing system ? -> Sheep shall rule over wolves ? -> Der Stein im Sumpf macht keine Ringe.

____________The finest thought runs the risk of being irrevocably forgotten if we do not write it down. -> skill consists in setting the inner life in motion with the smallest possible array of circumstances for it is the inner life that really excites our interests. History is merely the recurrence of similar things. the ignorant rabble always sets equal value on the good and the bad. The public has no sense for excellence. They are the weeds that prevent the corn from coming up-so to cover all the ground for  themselves ? "ist doch", rufen sie vermessen-"nichts im Werke, nichts gethan !" und das Grosse reift indessen still heran. Es erscheint niemand sieht es, niemand hoert es im Geschrei. Mit bescheidener Trauer zieht es still vorbei. -> The years on earth are only as the minutes of the immortals. -> In "_______________", Kinder lernen mit dem eigenen Kopf zu denken, das ist das wichtigste ueberhaupt...! -> Thought about a subject must appear of itself by a happy and harmonious combination of external stimulus with mental temper and attention, and it is just that which never seems to come to these people. -> umgekehrter Spucknapf als Basis fuer eine Stehlampe-Yankee ingenuity -> Reading is a substitute for thought-but do not read to much and forget reality. Acquiring insight is the point not acquiring information. Information is only a means of insight and in itself of little or no value. You can lose the habit of being quite clear in regard to the things you know and understand.. An ounce of one's own wit is worth a ton of other people's. Reading is nothing more than a substitute for thought of one's own - a stimulant.
