I think of religion, and other forms of spirituality, from a Jungian, pantheist perspective, with "God" more abstract than concrete, but not so abstract as the "God" of Taoism, and as equally transcendent as immanent. <br /><br />What and why did I think Sami's ideas would be something other than what was stated in this interview? I thought that he would be Odinist (no I don't mean Asatru,) or some form of Neopaganism. I also thought he would be focused on utilizing methods of individualization, rather than focused on the superficial aspects of Eastern Religions. But as he said, in some form, there is not one right view, but many equally significant facets. <br /><br />I thought that he would feel differently because my time in Finland left me feeling like, ignorant and presuming, that the Finnish population had indeed a more affective education system, and that they were thereby wholly superior to us - the 'mericans. Low and behold!! that McDonald's is the true culprit, and it has had a permanent effect on Sami's brain!!! SAMI, it is the MICKY DEE"S!!

"Hi, guys. We're not drunk, so please take this seriously. We need three German actors for this thing."<br /><br />Also, yoga rocks! I wish I looked like that after doing yoga... of course maybe that's because I only did it once a week and took long breaks without doing it during the holidays.elfslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10238005338067573491noreply@blogger.com
