New blog - Mythoworlds

Posted on May 6th, 2009 by M. Alan : Aspiring sadhak M. Alan
Yesterday I set up a new blog've called mythoworlds , which is about Creative Writing: Mythos (story-telling) rather than Logos  (metaphysics). 

I've written a couple of long posts there so far, about my own writing philosophy and ideas. 

So my main priorities at the moment are completing my book, The Integral Paradigm, (logos) and when that is finished, writing a mythic science fiction epic. (mythos).

I confess I have little time or energy for online communities atm, preferring to put my energy in my various writintg projects.  And I've pretty much said everything I'll say on Integral philosophy, at least until my Integral Paradigm book is finsihed and published.  So I'll only be posting occaisonally on Gaia com and Integral transformations.

Okay, back to writing!

From the Permian to Star Wars and vice-versa

Posted on May 14th, 2009 by M. Alan : Aspiring sadhak M. Alan
I was reading some scientific papers on the Permian period.  It's a time in Earth history I've always been interested in (along with the following, Triassic, period).  There are some interesting articles on how extreme Greenhouse conditions brought about the extinction of most of life on Earth.  Anyway, I've written about it on Palaeos com.  Compared to my old standards, the page is pretty rough and incomplete; although it's an interesting and popular subject, due to people's infatuation with things like mass extinction and other apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic scenarios. 

Also today, browsed a few sci fi wikis, including one called Wookieepedia; a gigantic Star Wars based Wiki.  Amazing labour of love.  And while on the subject of Star Wars, what could be more brilliant than the very cool Weird Al Yankovic and his brilliant parady - The Saga Begins (to the music of Don McLean's American Pie)
