The awsome book, Siddhartha!

Feb 28, 2006 12:03

I just finished reading Hermann Hesse's most beloved book "Siddhartha." It is one of the best fiction books I have ever read, it's right up there with "The Way of The Peaceful Warrior", and Daniel Quinn's books "Ishmael", "My Ishmael", and "The Story of B". The book is about spiritual taditions with an analitical edge for philosophy, humanity ( Read more... )

Mir nin,

Ah, paradox, humour, and change.
Words can point the way,
but the heart shines the truth.

Fred's red regalia with large ohms around the lower edge
glows a bit brighter, this evening.

Hesse is it's own thing.... I read a few of his books, Of all of them, absolutely my favorite was "The Glass Bead Game". (DAS GLASPERLENSPIEL, 1943 - (also: Magister Ludi) -)

Orodriel and I were talking yesterday about education. We were talking about the very thing, (in a humorous way) you mentioned above. Though we didn't get into the complexities of being of spirit and of being in flesh, we did discuss the "inaccuracies" - for the lack of a better word- with the system currently in place. We ended up listening to the song "Welcome to the Machine" by Pink Floyd. As it was here that we found and realized the controlling nature of the illusion we are living in this present day and age.

There's much more I'd like to write about in regards to your post. This is all I have time for at this moment.
