PJ Media » The Logical Extreme of the ‘American System’

in the 1920s by H.L. Mencken in the fourth of his six-part series, Prejudices. In it, he identified the two sides of the great American experiment – our representative democratic republic and the free market capitalist system — as “the conjoined twins.” Each is wonderful and praiseworthy in its own right, but they are locked together in a way which eventually becomes toxic to both.

BLOG TITLE: - SunWALKing!

'Smile, breathe and go slowly!' (Thich Nhat Hahn) whilst SunWALKing toward OneSummit!

Walking toward 'the summit' we tread our path, sometimes alone, and from time to time with others. As we converse with fellow-travellers, as we enter dia-logos, we learn from each other.
.
One summit - many paths!
.
Each of us has those who help illumine the path we tread.
.
SunWALKing = walking with your 'sun' - whatever, & whoever, lights your path!
.
So within and around my model, SunWALK, I'm celebrating the human spirit - listening to those who feed my soul. Join in or eavesdrop!
.
Those who illumine my path most are Abdu'l-Baha, Karen Armstrong, Terry Eagleton, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Eckhart Tolle, Ken Wilber - and many other of the poets and philosophers in our intellectual & spiritual 'starry firmament'. Oh - and those great healers called comedians.
.
But SunWALKing - is a life-streaming blog - so it includes the deliciously silly as well as the shatteringly profound!
.
THE THEMES in this life-stream then are the arts, photography, New Politics & Social Justice, philosophy (especially educational), pan-religious spirituality, personal development, coaching, media - and exposing the curse of fundamentalism.
.
MY GUIDING FOCUS is developing further my human-centred studies model called SunWALK - for use in professional and development. A summary is here - http://sunwalked.wordpress.com/courses/the-heart-of-all-of-the-courses-deepen... />.
So within and around SunWALK I'm celebrating the human spirit. Join me, walk a while, and sit at the wayside table as I listen to those who whisper their wisdom and insights over my shoulder - Heschel, Wilber, Armstrong, Tolle and the others - and join me in asking questions about how these great teachers approach the issues of being, of being in the world with others!
