Episode 28: Ben & Jerry's, Amnesty International, and the Debate Over Boycotting Israel
February 15th, 2022 | Season 1 | 1 hr 11 mins
When Ben & Jerry's announced last year that it would cease selling its products in the Occupied Territories, it touched off a brouhaha that lasted months. Rabbi Maurice Harris, Reconstructing Judaism's lead staff member on Israel affairs, explains why this story garnered such attention and what he thinks it all means. He also delves into a recent Amnesty International report accusing Israel of Apartheid and narrates Reconstructing Judaism's response, both in terms of process and substance.
Episode 27: Beyond Antisemitism
January 31st, 2022 | Season 1 | 55 mins 39 secs
antisemitism, judaism, progressive judaism
Just days before a horrifying hostage standoff at a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, we recorded an episode about antisemitism. Rabbi Jacob Staub, Ph.D., the show's executive producer, joins Bryan Schwartzman as a guest host as they welcome Rabbi Deborah Waxman, Ph.D, for a wide-ranging conversation about her recent Evolve essay, "Beyond Antisemitism." Rather than give in to fear, Deborah argues we should lean into Jewish identity, community and coalition-building.
Episode 26: The Reconstructionist
December 29th, 2021 | Season 1 | 1 hr 3 mins
In this special episode celebrating the career of our podcast's executive producer, Rabbi Jacob Staub, Ph.D., guest host Rabbi Deborah Waxman, Ph.D., president and CEO of Reconstructing Judaism, traces how Jacob went from being a secular college student, intent on pursuing a literary life, to one of the most influential Reconstructionist thinkers, writers and teachers of the past 50 years.
Episode 25: 'Adoption Isn't a Bad Thing, It's a Tricky Thing'
November 29th, 2021 | Season 1 | 40 mins 58 secs
adoption, evolve, jewish
The process of adoption is often thought of as children in need of a loving home being matched with couples who get to fulfill deferred dreams of becoming parents. It's a win-win, right? Minna Scherlinder Morse, a writer and editor as well as an adoptive parent, says the reality and the history is far more nuanced.
Episode 24: Liberation from Opioids: One Rabbi's Journey
October 12th, 2021 | Season 1 | 1 hr 4 mins
opioid, recovery, sobriety, vicodin
Rabbi Michael Perice recently made a startling revelation to his congregation: For four years, he'd been addicted to opioids. Now, celebrating 10 years of liberation, Perice decided it was time to share his story with his community and the wider world.
Episode 23: Hidden Jews in the 21st Century
August 17th, 2021 | Season 1 | 1 hr 2 mins
conversation, conversion, interview, jewish, judiasm
In the past few decades, descendants of Jews who had been forced to flee, convert, or hide Jewish practices during the Inquisition have been seeking to reconnect with Jewish communities. At times, they have been embraced, other times shunned, and, too often, encountered Jewish experiences that didn't authentically reflect their Sephardic roots.
Episode 22: Hope as an Ethical Imperative
July 22nd, 2021 | Season 1 | 52 mins 48 secs
breitman, evolve, hope, jewish, judaism, spiritual direction, staub, therapy
In Barbara Breitman's telling, hope isn't "some fluffy thing." It's an essential Jewish practice. Hope enables leaders to imagine a different world and work to bring it out about no matter what obstacles stand in the way. Breitman, a spiritual director, therapist and scholar of religion, cites Moses, Noah and Mordechai as Biblical characters who embody this kind of hope. How can ordinary people emulate these examples?
Episode 17: Human Composting: Good for the Environment, But Is It Kosher?
February 16th, 2021 | Season 1 | 1 hr 6 mins
In this live episode, recorded as part of the 2021 Big Bold Jewish Climate Festival, we speak with Rabbi Seth Goldstein and Rabbi Adina Lewittes, two religious leaders who've thought deeply about human composting, the green burial movement, and what each means for Jewish communities.
Episode 14: Fixing Broken Policing: What Does Judaism Say?
November 19th, 2020 | Season 1 | 48 mins 41 secs
Does the Talmud offer a perspective on police reform, and whether it makes sense to, as the slogan says, defund the police? Rabbi Aryeh Cohen, a Talmudic scholar and an advocate for redirecting police funding, explains what ancient Judaism does and doesn't have to say about policing. After a quick post-election debrief, Cohen lays out the case for a new approach to policing, one in which far fewer officers would carry arms. He addresses questions about armed guards protecting Jewish institutions during a time of rising antisemitism and touches on how his experience as a soldier in the first Lebanon War shaped his anti-violence worldview.
Episode 10: Disability Justice
July 14th, 2020 | Season 1 | 49 mins 45 secs
In our conversation with Rabbi Elliot Kukla, we discuss his essay for Evolve: Groundbreaking Jewish Conversations about the profound and unexpected ways in which trauma can affect a person's health and overall spiritual wellbeing. In the piece and this interview, he shares some of what he's learned about life by being chronically ill. We discuss his heightened appreciation for the interdependence of people, and what that means for the responsibilities of societies and communities to care for their members, even the most vulnerable. We also talk with Rabbi Kukla about his recent New York Times piece, "My Life Is More 'Disposable' During This Pandemic", and about the COVID-19 pandemic more generally; about the newly resurgent racial justice movement; and about the challenge parents face in maintaining hope for our children and the world they're inheriting in this deeply unsettling time.
Episode 4: Slavery and Its Atonement: The Jewish Obligation to Confront Slavery's Legacy
December 24th, 2019 | Season 1 | 42 mins 28 secs
Slavery has been described as America's original sin. Abolished with the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865, slavery still casts a shadow over American life. Today, many Americans are seeking to better understand, and respond to, this tortured history. Can Judaism offer some guidelines for how to do that? Do Jews have to atone for the sin of slavery, even though mass Jewish migration to the United States didn't happen until decades after the Civil War? Rabbi Toba Spitzer answers yes to both questions. In this episode, the religious leader of Congregation Dorshei Tzedek, a Reconstructionist congregation outside Boston, discusses ideas she first explored in a Yom Kippur sermon. Spitzer says that the ancient priests — who may have been among the Hebrew Bible's editors —had ideas about communal sin that may offer a path toward societal acknowledgement and atonement for the sin of slavery. Rabbi Jacob Staub, Ph.D., who directs the Evolve project, sits in for this interview.
Episode 1: Reimagining Synagogues and Communities
September 17th, 2019 | Season 1 | 45 mins 45 secs
In this inaugural episode, we speak with Rabbi Rachel Weiss of Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation in Evanston, Ill. Weiss describes her community's effort to remain relevant at a time of great change in Jewish life and North American life more generally. From deep and respectful dialogue on divisive issues, to the transformational use of post-it notes, Rabbi Weiss shares a window into her synagogue community's ongoing evolution.

Why A Chico Marketing Strategy Is Worth Investing In
Chico is a small college town where the most competitive marketing is in food service and real estate. More specifically, bars, restaurants, real estate agents, and marketing property get the most traffic. As a result, these two fields are in a situation where they either have to market online, or eat the cost of overhead and rent prime locations.
Additionally, most businesses outside of food service and real estate will not have much online competition. For instance, even the most basic marketing plan can drive serious results. Therefore, businesses which invest in Chico marketing have an opportunity to dominate within their niche. For example, we are near the top off Google for Chico SEO, and it only took us a day to rank. This is good news for businesses which are not located in hot spots such as Downtown Chico.

Oops, forgot to take a photo of the sauce for this one, but I'm sure you'll get idea. I'll just have to make it again so I can update the recipe.
This is a quite decent alternative to stick date pudding – moist buttermilk muffins with caramel sauce. The muffins also taste quite alright without the sauce. The original recipe came from Taste.com.au and I just made a few tweaks.

|While the muffins are cooking, place the white sugar and water into a medium-sized saucepan and stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer without stirring until it turns a caramel colour.
|Remove from the heat and add the butter and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

The start of the new year has many of us looking through our finances with a fine-tooth comb.
From medical bills to monthly payments, millions of Americans are looking to jump-start businesses that'll catapult them into financial freedom, lessening the burden of what 2020 has left behind.
Side hustles are one of the best ways to accomplish your income goals of paying off debt, saving for large purchases, and buying your dream home.
But where do you begin?
With the recent surge of business coaches and subscription services promising a quick ROI, it's difficult to determine where to invest your time.
Especially when it comes to taking on another job.
The best side hustle ideas are the ones that provide flexibility and competitive pay based on the work you're doing.
Not so good side hustles are the ones that leave you depleted with minimum compensation to show for.
No matter your reasoning for wanting a second gig, we've compiled a list of the 10 best side hustles that are worth your time.
1.) Food and Grocery Delivery Service
By far my favorite side hustle of 2021 is delivery service apps like Doordash, Instacart, and Postmates. Post-COVID, studies have suggested that people are willing to pay more for delivery services than to shop in-stores.
Which makes it great for those looking to make extra money on the side.
What I love most about these apps is that they're easy to set up, and navigate once on the road.
If you're looking to rack up the big bucks on delivery service apps, try using multiple platforms at once to make up to $25+/hour.
2.) House Sitting/ Pet Walking
Staycations have taken on a new meaning with the help of online sites like Rover and Housesitter.com.
For dog lovers, Rover is a service used to help pet owners find individuals who are willing and able to take care of their pets when away.
Pay varies depending on where you live. You'll be paid more if you live in an urban area, which can be around $20 per walk or $80 for overnight stays.
Housesitter is another platform that provides a similar service, yet you'll have the responsibility of caring for clients' homes, whether it be watering plants or daily cleaning.
You'll create your own base pay ranging from $15-$30 depending on the length of stay.
3.) Rideshare Driver
This side hustle has been a go-to since the start of ridesharing apps Uber and Lyft.
Before you get started in signing up, you want to make sure that your license and registration as well as car insurance policy is up to par.
Many people enjoy rideshare side hustles because it doesn't feel like much work.
Not only are you making passive income, but you're also meeting interesting people along the way.
4.) Selling items on eBay/Etsy/Poshmark
Are you hoarding a pile of unworn clothing or household products? You may want to clear out space by selling them online.
Unlike other marketplace sites, eBay, Etsy, and Poshmark all have unique selling tools based on the items that you are looking to sell.
If you have a knack for making crafts, Etsy provides a space to showcase your unique gifts to prospective buyers who are looking for something different.
Poshmark is great for selling gently worn contemporary fashions while eBay is phenomenal for selling electronics, musical instruments, and furniture.
5.) Freelancing
Working as a freelancer is a legit side hustle if you have a marketable skill. Whether it be writing, landscaping, photography or videography, freelancing your services to help others is worth your time this year.
I highly recommended becoming a freelancer if you are already tasked with a full-time job. Not only can you create a flexible schedule, but you can generate a good source of income if your services are priced correctly.
Try searching Upwork for your first round of freelance opportunities as a way to get started before marketing yourself on social media.
6.) Teaching English Online via VIPKid
2020 has placed a hold on international travel. But you can still experience another country by choosing a side hustle that is rewarding in more ways than one.
With the help of VIPKid, a website that connects its teachers to young Chinese students, you'll have flexible hours and a workload that requires ZERO lesson plans or certified teaching experience necessary.
To start teaching through VIPKid, you'll submit an application and go through an interview process that involves doing a practice lesson online.
You will need to have experience working with children which can include:
- Working at a daycare
- Tutoring
- Babysitting
7.) Virtual assistant
In the past, becoming a virtual assistant has got a bad rap.
Not any more.
With careers shifting towards online technologies, now is the perfect time to test the waters and add virtual assisting as your lucrative side hustle.
Many VA's help small businesses manage tasks like:
- Bookkeeping
- Project management
- Blog management
- Website updates
- Researching
- Preparing reports
- Social media management
- Content creation
- Event planning
- Digital marketing
What you'll love about this side hustle is that it's extremely flexible – with just a laptop and an internet connection, you're able to work from just about anywhere.
8.) Become a social media manager
Now more than ever companies are in search of proficient social media managers to manage their brands,
It's not enough to know the basics of uploading and captioning a photo, instead, you'll need to understand how to create Instagram reels, TikTok videos, and coordinate videos to exact time stamps.
That's why making this a side hustle to bring in the coins is a no brainer.
The work as a social media manager can change from client to client, and you can develop your skills as you gain more experience.
Entry level social media managers can make anywhere from $18-$50/hour based on services offered, and experienced ones can earn upwards of $150/hour.
9.) Cleaning Houses
Not the fanciest of all the side hustles, but cleaning houses will allow for a nice chunk of change if networking is involved.
Start by asking co-workers or friends if they are in need of cleaning services. What works well with this side hustle is being professional and on-time when working in clients' homes.
If that's too much work, create an account on Care.com to search through a host of profiles who are looking for house keepers.
10.) Find a Part-time Job
If all else fails, finding a part-time job that has the same flexibility and compensation as the side hustles listed above will still put you on track for your 2021 goals.
I personally take on serving or bartending jobs when looking for part-time work. The money is fast and I can achieve financial milestones in a short amount of time.
Here are a few other part-time jobs to check out:
- Boutique sales associate
- Front desk gym host
- Receptionist
- Bookstore clerk
- Local museum
Keep in mind that a part-time job shouldn't be strenuous nor stressful. So stay away from jobs that add more to your plate.
The Wrap Up
Not all side hustles are created equal. Don't just take our word for it.
Do your research, read every review, and above all else, find the best side hustle ideas to make your goals happen.
Good thing's come to those who work for it.

How to Plan for Student Loan Payments in 2022
Reach out to your loan provider and consider a deferment or forbearance.
Update: On April 5, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education announced that it will extend the forbearance period for federal student loans through August 31, 2022 as the pandemic continues. During this time, borrowers will not be required to make payments, and interest on loans will not accrue.
If you're one of the millions of student loan borrowers who haven't made a loan payment since the beginning of the pandemic, time may be running out. Payments for federal education loans, which have been on pause since the spring for 43 million people, are expected to resume on September 1, 2022.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed by Congress in March, 2020 provided what's known as a grace period for people who have federal student loans, or loans underwritten by the government. The grace period was initially scheduled to end on September 30, 2020, but was extended through the end of 2020 as the pandemic and record unemployment have continued on.
During this time, federal student loans have not accrued interest or penalties.
Approximately 43 million Americans had federal student loan debt totaling $1.6 trillion. The zero-interest period was intended to give financial relief to those who lost all or part of their income as a result of shutdowns caused by the pandemic. If you have federal student loans, this grace period has likely applied to you.
Whether you've continued to make payments all along, or you've taken this time to save some money, here are some things to consider as you prepare for the likely return of student loan bills every month.
Know what's happening with your loans
Consider reaching out to your loan provider so you know exactly when your next student loan payment will be due. And find out how your payment has changed if it has. The sooner you can start paying off your student loans, the better. Making payments during a period of zero interest can help you make a serious dent in the principal, or original amount you borrowed, as there are no additional interest charges during a grace period. If you have multiple student loans, you may also want to take advantage of the zero-interest period by either paying off, or putting more money toward, the loans that have the highest interest rate.
Research a new repayment plan
If you're daunted by upcoming payments, it might be time to revisit your repayment plan. "For those who have lost their job or part of their income, I suggest that they reach out to their student loan company now and ask about an income-based repayment plan," says Orlando, Florida-based financial advisor Danielle Barak from financial planning company Northwestern Mutual.
Consider applying for an income-driven repayment plan, which may take into account different factors such as your income and the size of your family, according to the U.S. Department of Education's division of student aid. If you're approved for this change, you'll pay your student loans back according to a percentage of your discretionary income.
Barak warns, however, that "income-based repayment can get expensive as income drastically increases, so it's important to know your options and if you can change the option you select." Once your employment status changes, you may want to adjust the way you pay back your loans.
You may already be repaying your loans on an income-driven plan based on pre-pandemic employment. In this case, "recertify your income using your most recent pay stub showing your decreased income, or file your taxes early in 2021 and use your tax return to recertify your income," says Jared Andreoli, a financial planner from Simplicity Financial in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Contact your provider
If you're unemployed or you've had a change in income, you might feel like you won't be able to make any student loan payments whatsoever. Financial planner Joseph Orsolini from College Aid Planners in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, says that "borrowers that may have difficulty making their payments again should get in contact with their loan servicer about options available to them."
"Most federal borrowers will be eligible for deferment or forbearance, which would allow them to continue not making payments," says Orsolini. You'll need to apply for student loan deferment or forbearance through your provider. Deferment and forbearance are slightly different. When you defer your loans, you'll be able to skip make payments for a period of time without accruing interest. Student loan forbearance means that you'll skip payments, but you'll still accrue interest during the period of forbearance.
Orsolini suggests first looking into deferment. He also says, however, that borrowers might have more luck applying for forbearance as it has fewer qualifications than deferment. Deferment is usually granted in the case of certain qualifying events, such as unemployment, military service, or ongoing cancer treatment.
Do what you can to make the minimum payment
As the Covid-19 student loan grace period comes to an end, one thing you can consider is preparing to make at least the minimum payment each month towards your student loans. If you're receiving unemployment payments or have money saved, such as your CARES Act stimulus check, think about using that money for loan payments, if you're able to.
For people who might not have the option to defer on their loans, or want to continue making payments, Barak says, "I'd suggest working through their budget and examining their savings account to see what they can do. If there's any side income that they can make to pay at least the minimum payment that would be ideal so this way their credit won't be compromised."
If you don't already have a budget, now is a great time to consider building one, such as the 50-30-20 budget, which allocates 50% of your income towards your essential, fixed expenses, 30% to your nonessential, variable expenses, and 20% to investing and savings. Include your student loan payments, as well as any other payments towards debt, in the 50% portion of this budget. You can also try other budgets such as the envelope method.
Stash can help you stay on top of your budget. In your Stash account, you can create partitions1 for your bills, such as your student loans. You can also create partitions to help you save as the pandemic continues. Additionally, you can use Stash's Bill Pay2 function in the app to pay your student month bill every month.

News Corp closes over 100 print papers
Over 100 of News Corp's regional and community titles will no longer produce print editions and will move to digital-only formats. 14 titles will cease to exist and there may be over 500 job losses.
In April, the media company said it was temporarily suspending 60 community print titles in the wake of COVID-19 and falling advertising revenues.
News Corp's Australian executive chairman Michael Miller said the portfolio review highlighted that many of its print mastheads were challenged, and the double impact of COVID-19 and the tech platforms not remunerating local publishers had made them unsustainable publications.
"COVID-19 has impacted the sustainability of community and regional publishing. Despite the audiences of News Corp's digital mastheads growing more than 60 per cent as Australians turned to trusted media sources during the peak of the recent COVID-19 lockdowns, print advertising spending which contributes the majority of our revenues, has accelerated its decline," Miller said.

Taras Zakydalsky, The Theory of Man in the Philosophy of Skovoroda, 1965.
It is amazing how widely opinions on the general character of Skovoroda's philosophy have diverged. He has been called an eclectic who collected a body of traditional doctrines without connecting them in a whole. At the other extreme, he has been called a rationalist who approaches Spinoza in the rigor of his logic and systematization. Opposed to these extremes and incorporating what is of value in both is the interpretation that sees Skovoroda as a mystic. This variety of interpretations in itself may be taken as evidence of Skovoroda's eclecticism, but I think it would be more accurate to assign it to inadequate scholarship. The two extreme interpretations were put forth when interest in Skovoroda was only beginning to stir. Previously, almost nothing had been done in the way of scholarly investigation of our philosopher's doctrines. At the time not even a complete edition of his works was available. His works were being collected and published then. The interpretation of Skovoroda as a mystic is the result of later study.
(1) Skovoroda as an Eclectic Thinker
Skovoroda has been charged with being an eclectic in the worst sense of the term. His thought is seen as a collection of disparate, even contradictory, doctrines which he [10] simply throws together without any attempt to unify them, or at least to tone down their disagreements. He seems to have been unaware of its incoherence, or if he was aware, unconcerned about it. "In our opinion he was a complex, unorganized mind who hardly ever was aware of the constraints of a mercilessly systematic exposition."1 His philosophy is a concoction of monism and dualism, spiritualism and materialism, rationalism and prophetic mysticism. His monism satisfies his personal mystical vision. His dualism provides a basis for his ethics. The two are not reconciled and cannot be reconciled. "Therefore, to speak of a definite philosophical system in his thought is at once to set out on a false path of evaluating his teaching."2 It must be admitted that in Skovoroda one can find conflicting doctrines, all of which can be traced to some predecessor or other in Greek, Roman, or patristic philosophy. Furthermore, it is true that Skovoroda himself does not try to reconcile various statements of doctrine, nor does he attempt to systematize his doctrines into an orderly whole. But Kudrinski goes too far when he contends that these doctrines cannot be reconciled and unified, and that to attempt this would be to pervert Skovoroda's thought, that this would amount to imposing unity where there is no unity, or rather where the only detectable unity is extrinsic to the thought itself and lies in the fact that the thought belongs to one person.3 To accept this view is to deny that Skovoroda has a philosophy. It means that Skovoroda had no clear conception [11] of what he was writing. Such a view seems false to me. It is best refuted by showing the exact way in which all of Skovoroda's doctrines fit together. It will become apparent, I hope, that Skovoroda's philosophy has not only an organic unity, but that it is an original synthesis, although its particular doctrines are derived from various earlier sources. Skovoroda's philosophy "though not original in details, yet as a whole is an independent creative conception."4
(2) Skovoroda as a Rationalist
At the other extreme from the interpretation of Skovoroda as an eclectic is an interpretation that imposes a certain preconceived pattern on Skovoroda's writings. To show that Skovoroda is a rationalist, the interpreter consciously selects certain doctrines as reflecting Skovoroda's "true" thought, and rejects those doctrines that do not fit his scheme as accidental and extrinsic to Skovoroda's thought. This type of interpretation should be seen as a reaction against the scanty scholarship on Skovoroda's philosophy before the 1890's, scholarship that was content to call Skovoroda a mystic and thus dismiss the task of finding any clarity and coherence in his writings.5 Efimenko sees in Skovoroda a Spinozistic "rationalist, a rationalist pur sang."6 Without being able to present any evidence that Skovoroda had actually read or studied Spinoza's philosophy, Efimenko found conclusive evidence for this thesis by comparing Skovoroda's doctrines with Spinoza's. For both [12] philosophers, she found, God is substantial being and the world is only appearance sustained by God's will and governed by his law. Both thinkers are pantheistic and monistic, and whatever element of dualism there is in them, is there only for the purposes of an ethics.7 Good is associated with God and evil is relegated to the world of contingent and temporal appearances. Man's purpose in life is to achieve union with God through knowledge. Religion and faith are mere superstition.8 The comparison between the two philosophers is very sketchy, and for this reason it appears more plausible than it actually is. But even as it stands, this comparison makes some glaring falsifications of Skovoroda's doctrines. To understand Skovoroda's dualism only as a prop for his ethics is a gross misrepresentation. Furthermore, to attribute to Skovoroda a rejection of religion is an inexcusable error if not an intentional falsification. It is precisely the religious inspiration and content of his philosophy, the central importance of the act of faith in it that this interpretation must ignore. To explain away all the elements in Skovoroda's philosophy that do not fit her scheme, Efimenko uses the device, so frequently employed by Soviet scholars, of seeing them as a concession to the times.Skovoroda undoubtedly had a clearly, purely and logically developed philosophical conception ģ, but he seems to have felt cold at those philosophical heights, in that absolute withdrawal from everything by which the surrounding world lived -- and perhaps because of this, he noticed the contradictions and defects of a construction that appeared so perfect. Whatever it was, he tried to tie his logical constriction in with the tradition in which he was educated ģ but to tie it with artfully woven and wholly external threads.9[13]These external elements can be isolated and rejected while the "true system" intended by Skovoroda shines forth in all its logical splendor.
This interpretation, it must be admitted, makes certain valuable contributions to an understanding of Skovoroda. The first, and most important one is the clear assertion that Skovoroda's philosophy possesses its own unity. Secondly, the rationalist interpretation draws our attention to Skovoroda's stress on knowledge and truth as the condition for happiness and right action. Though it misrepresents Skovoroda's concept of knowledge by comparing it to a Spinozistic one, it is helpful in underlining the element of objectivity in Skovoroda's conception.
The one-sidedness of the rationalist interpretation is overcome by the next interpretation which recognizes that for Skovoroda the religious content of his thought was undoubtedly the basis for all of his positions in theoretical philosophy.10
(3) Skovoroda as a mystic
The two best studies of Skovoroda's philosophy, by Ern and Chyzhevskyi, define Skovoroda as a mystic. The problem lies in explaining in what sense he is a mystic. UnfortunŁately, neither interpreter gives any clear-cut criteria that would specify the exact type of mysticism that Skovoroda exemplifies.
There is a derogatory sense of the word "mysticism" [14] which is often used in reference to certain philosophies. In this sense mysticism is equivalent to obscurantism, and irrationalism. It is the very opposite of philosophy. Efimenko uses the tern in this sense when she objects to calling Skovoroda a mystic.11 It is also in this sense that Skovoroda is not a mystic to Bahalii: "The label of mystic ģ is far from defining Skovoroda; his mind did not grow wild and did not sink gradually into the bottomless pit of mysticism."12 Here, the mystic is essentially one who experiences certain abnormal psychic states that are unattainable by the ordinary person, and then utters an incomprehensible stream of words that is closer to nonsense than to philosophy.
"Mysticism" sometimes refers to a certain character of philosophical thought, rather than the personal experiences of its author. The characteristic mark of this thought is the dualism of the apparent and the hidden reality. The visible world is only appearance, an unreal shadow hiding the substantial reality from which it derives its being. The realm of shadows is the realm of multiplicity and change. The realm of true reality is that of stability, eternity, and unity. Only the wise man by his special power of vision can penetrate to this deeper level of being which is hidden from the common man absorbed in the world of appearance.
In the best traditions of mysticism these two aspects are unified. The mystic in the full sense of the term is not one who merely undergoes certain unusual experiences [15] which he describes as a union with God, but one who also formulates his vision in a philosophy, who attempts and succeeds to some extent in uttering the unutterable and thus in sharing his vision with others.13 The mystic's philosophy, though coherent and systematic, is not a purely speculative enterprise. It is the fruit of his lived experience in its totality, comprising both the ecstatic visions of his union with God and the ordinary everyday life he is forced to lead in the intervals between his visions. It is precisely the organic union of Skovoroda's thought with his personal experience that Ern and Chyzhevskyi wish to stress by calling Skovoroda a mystic:Skovoroda was a fearless and original supporter of experimental metaphysics.ģ His whole life is a vast, deeply interesting metaphysical experiment and his philosophy is nothing but a logical record of this experiment.14andWe must suppose that Skovoroda was inspired by reading mystical literature, but that he worked ģ his thoughts out independently, utilizing only materials in his memory, interpreting the Bible in the spirit of his thought and depending on his own spiritual experience.15Since this interpretation of Skovoroda seems to me the most comprehensive and accurate, I shall consider it in somewhat greater detail.
The first thing to note is how Skovoroda's life conforms to the pattern of the mystic's life. The mystic begins his adventure with God because of an overpowering sense of alienation and despair, a feeling of separation from all reality. He judges himself responsible for this separation, [16] and therefore feels guilty.16 This feeling is matched with a passionate desire to overcome it, to win God's approval, to reach an absolute certainty of his own position in reality. The road to God is an arduous one. The mystic must win control over his thoughts, passions, and appetites in order to subordinate himself completely to the single desire for God.17 By his efforts he produces in himself only the conditions for receiving God's revelation, which is always a free gift from God. In his mystical experience the mystic grasps reality by direct intuition, not by concepts and reasoning as the philosopher does. In this way he pierces the illusion of individual existence and separation from God. It is this experience that defines the mystic. But this experience is momentary and the mystic must return to the everyday world common to all men. He returns strengthened by his vision, to act and participate fully in this world. Thus, mystical experience leads to moral action just as moral action prepares men for mystical experience.18
If we examine Ern's book on Skovoroda, we find that these are precisely the points that Ern stresses in Skovoroda's life. He tries to show at length on the basis of biographical data and Skovoroda's poetry that Skovoroda was a deeply disturbed young man. In his restless travels a certain aimlessness and impulsiveness is evident.19 In his abandonment of his studies at the Kiev Academy and then in his probable breach of contract with General Vishnevsky whom he was to serve as a chapel singer, there is irresponsibility.20 [17] From his poems a deep pessimism, a despair at the chaos and evil in him and in the world, a boredom with life emerge clearly.21 The first step to overcoming this desperate condition, according to Kovalinskii, was taken during Skovoroda's second stay at Tamara's residence as tutor, around 1759, Skovoroda underwent a religious crisis, which resulted in a consecration of his life to God.22 After long years of virtuous living, strict self-discipline and dedicated work as teacher and writer, Skovoroda seems to have experienced a mystical vision in 1770.23 From Kovalinskii's description of this event it is evident that it was a mystical experience of some sort. The effect of this experience was to strengthen Skovoroda's resolve to serve God. To the end of his life, he practiced strict self-discipline, wrote his philosophical dialogues, and traveled widely, teaching men to live happily and in harmony with God. Since most of his dialogues were written after 1770, this experience could have had an important influence on his thought. It is evident that the general pattern of the mystic's life is readily applicable to Skovoroda.
According to the definition of mysticism that I have adopted, the mystic is not defined by his experience alone. Having grasped the truth, the mystic must articulate it, communicate it and by this effort assert that his experience is not to be dismissed as merely subjective and emotional. His revelation is not merely private. His original intuition spreads itself out into a whole philosophical system, [18] a system that is an entity in itself, coherent and intelligible in its own terms. Philosophy is understood as an unending effort to interpret the vision in concepts, which together form an autonomous system. This system can be treated without reference to the author's personal experience. It can be evaluated just as any other philosophy can be evaluated on the basis of the problems raised and the adequacy and consistency of the answers. The same is true of Skovoroda's philosophy. Though it grew out of his personal experience, it has a universal significance. "Skovoroda's metaphysical positions are not at all membra disjecta without inner relation to one another, forming a certain external unity only in virtue of being expressed by a single person."24
If we are to deal with the nature or Skovoroda's philosophical system, it will be useful to place him in a certain tradition of philosophy. The mystic, like any other thinker, is dependent upon tradition and the state of knowledge at his time. However personal his vision may be, he must embody it in concepts and doctrines, which are not strictly his own creations, but the common deposit of the cultural tradition in which, he lives. He must appropriate the current concepts of his day, though he may change and modify them somewhat in order to express the truth as he sees it. His doctrines also are not formulated in a vacuum, but with the help of a philosophical tradition that offers him at least suggestions, if not ready-made doctrines that [19] need only to be shaped and synthesized. In a word, the mystic, like any other thinker, must be related in one way or another to a philosophical tradition.
Skovoroda's philosophy owns a great debt to ancient Greek philosophers and to the Fathers of the Eastern Church. His system as a whole is related most closely to the patristic tradition, which synthesizes classical, especially Platonic thought with doctrines of the Christian faith. Although this tradition was eclipsed later in the West by the medieval synthesis of Aristotle and Christianity, Skovoroda seems to have been affected much more by Platonic than by Aristotelian conceptions.
We know that during Skovoroda's studies at the Kiev Academy philosophical and theological questions occupied the center of attention. This was a time when new materials of ancient philosophy and literature uncovered during the Renaissance period were receiving much study and were giving rise to a new neo-scholastic philosophy. This philosophy was not a mere repetition of the medieval synthesis of Greek philosophy with Christian faith, but a new product, a new synthesis that took into account both medieval philosophy and the ancient documents uncovered during the RenaisŁsance. This work was further stimulated in the Ukraine by the religious controversy between the defenders of Orthodoxy and the defenders of the Union with Rome. The Protestant and Catholic theology of contemporary Western Europe also received much attention. Chyzhevskyi thinks that Skovoroda's [20] debt to tradition can be fully explicated only by a thorough study of the works of two professors of the Academy who were the leading protagonists in the orthodox-unionist controversy -- T. Prokopovych and H. Konysky.25 Furthermore, from Kovalinskii's account of Skovoroda's life we know that his favorite authors were Plutarch, Philo Judaeus, Cicero, Horace, Lucian, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Nilus of Sora, Dionysius the Areopagite, Maxim the Confessor, but his greatest love was the Bible.26 The sources of Skovoroda's philosophical concepts and doctrines are to be sought in these works.
If we glance at Skovoroda' s doctrinal debt to his Christian and pagan predecessors, classifying his philosophical system with those of the Fathers of the Church becomes fully justified. To begin with his debt to classical philosophy, there is no doubt that the greatest influence on Skovoroda is Plato. The Platonic dualism of appearance and reality is basic to Skovoroda's metaphysics. Skovoroda's emphasis on knowledge as man's highest activity and as the essential condition for a happy life is Platonic. The erotic aspect of knowing can also be traced to Plato. The concept of evil is Plato's. From Socrates, through Plato, comes also the doctrine of self-knowledge as the key to all knowledge and to happiness. Aristotle left his mark on Skovoroda in the doctrine of the eternity of the world. From the Stoics Skovoroda inherited a monistic tendency, and the concept of happiness as accessible to all men. Epicurus,Ā [21] whom Skovoroda valued greatly in spite of his unpopularity among Christians, taught Skovoroda that sweetness, pleasure in the sense of joy is the end of life and is accessible to all, and that what is difficult is unnecessary and what is necessary is not difficult. These Greek philosophies were also the most important influence on the Fathers of the Church.Ā In a characteristically patristic way Skovoroda recognized that faith and reason are not incompatible. Unlike Tertullian, who rejected pagan philosophy, Skovoroda felt that wisdom was granted to the pagan thinkers by God whom they sought and that their wisdom could and should be incorporated into a Christian philosophy, a higher and fuller form of wisdom. As Kovalinskii states:Skovoroda maintained that in all these thinkers [Marcus Aurelius, Titus, Socrates, Plato] the higher spirit acted and therefore they do not deserve condemnation, but on the contrary they deserve respect and imitation of their love for truth. And if God is truth then they were his faithful servants.27Skovoroda's attitude to the Bible was also essentially patristic. He held that the Bible should not be interpreted literally, but allegorically: "I recognize and confess in it a spiritual reason, I perceive the divinely written law and the real meaning behind the literal one."28 Literal interpretations are nonsensical and lead only to unchristianlike intolerance and superstition. In metaphysics the influence or the Christian faith, especially of Biblical teachings, is marked most strongly in Skovoroda's monism. Just as in Philo Judaeus and the Fathers of the Church, God is the Supreme Being who creates and sustains all other beings. [22] Plato's ideas are internalized in God. They become his thoughts, his Logos, which mediates between God and things. Then also the identification of ideal man, who is an idea in each man, with Christ, a member of the triune God, is a Christian modification of Platonism. Skovoroda diverged from the Fathers of the Church in several ways, however. His rejection of the reality of miracles, the absence of any hint about original sin, and the Aristotelian doctrine of the timelessness of the world are very unpatristic. The various influences on Skovoroda by his predecessors may be traced in finer detail, yet they cannot be taken as a full account of his philosophy because this is an original creation. For almost every doctrine in his philosophy a similar doctrine can be found in Greek or Patristic philosophy, and yet all of his doctrines taken together form an organic system, which has no precedent and must be studied on its own terms. Bahalii summarizes this fact clearly and forcefully:He was one of those naturally gifted persons with whom the genius of our nation endows us from time to time, a sensitive deep thinker who erected an unusually strict logical system, free from all contradictions.ģ His primary spiritual relations ģ are not mystics nor free masons, but the Fathers and teachers of the Church and Philo Judaeus.29
To emphasize Skovoroda's originality Chyzhevskyi adopted a different approach in his study of Skovoroda. Since the tracing of influences gives very little insight into the true value of Skovoroda's system, Chyzhevskyi seeks a tradition of philosophy in which philosophy would be a product and expression of the author's personal experience, in the [23] same way that Skovoroda's system emerged from the "depths of his own spirit."30 He finds Skovoroda's "spiritual brethren who are related to him not by accidental parallelisms in ideas, but by an integral understanding of the world and of life"31 in the German mystics such as Boehm, Weigel, Silesius, and Tauler. To prove his thesis Chyzhevskyi compiles an impressive catalogue of parallel thoughts, doctrines, and symbols. He also does not omit parallels with Plato, Plotinus, and various Fathers of the Church. The evidence shows conclusively that, although Skovoroda may not have been influenced by any one mystic in the formulation of his thought, he certainly is a mystic in the same tradition as the German mystics.
It is indubitable that whatever the influences of the Platonic-Christian tradition on Skovoroda were, he was an original philosopher. The best way to classify him is to consider him as a mystic, for two reasons. First, because his philosophy is the fruit of his mystical experience, and secondly because his philosophy in itself displays those features which are common to mystical philosophies. These features may be summarized as follows: a sharp dualism of the real and apparent modified by a monistic tendency that places the source and foundation of all reality in God. Good is identified with God, evil with the realm of appearances. Man finds himself between the two worlds and is free to choose between them. Though faith and obedience to God's will he achieves union with God, his salvation and [23] happiness. By placing his faith in appearances and surrendering to his desires, he comes to perdition and misery. Ethics is a doctrine of salvation, as well as of temporal happiness.
Skovoroda's ethics departs in one way from the ethics of most mystics in the tradition of the mysticism I have defined. Although the structure of his system and its relation to his personal experience are mystical, his ethics is not a road to mystical experience. In fact, mystical experience is not mentioned in his philosophy. The act of faith is the focal point of man's union with God, and also the starting point of the truly ethical life. The ethical life is in a sense a progressive achievement of closer union with God through perfecting one's obedience to his will, but the end of ethics is not mystical experience. It is happy temporal existence and "peace of soul."32 Though he mentions personal immortality and believes in it, he has very little to say about the after-life.
Bahalii, an excellent Skovoroda scholar, thinks the most accurate description of Skovoroda is that of a Christian philosopher because "religion was for him philosophy and philosophy religion."33 This is true, and I have shown that Skovoroda fits into the patristic tradition of Christian philosophy very well. But this definition fails to stress the organic connection of Skovoroda's philosophy with his lived experience, and this connection is of great importance because it gives a practical tone to his philosophy and [25] a strong emphasis on the ethical life. The notion of mystic as I have defined it includes both the religious orientation of his philosophical system and also its intimate relation to the philosopher's personal life. For this reason it is the most accurate designation for Skovoroda.
(4) Doctrinal Emphases
Skovoroda's philosophy has been interpreted in three different ways, with the primary emphasis being placed on his ethics, or his epistemology, or his doctrine of man. Each of these viewpoints of his system has certain merits and highlights important parts of the system. The fact that it had been arranged in three different ways indicates that Skovoroda himself did not explicitly systematize and connect the various parts of his philosophy.ĀThe fact that his system can be effectively and fully explicated by beginning from three different viewpoints shows that all his doctrines do fall into a closely interwoven pattern, in which every part is internally related to every other part.
(a) The Ethical Emphasis
The ethical interpretation values Skovoroda' s system primarily for its practical teachings and sees the speculative parts -- the metaphysical, anthropological and epistemological doctrines -- merely as the framework and prop for the ethics. This view is expressed well by Kotovych:Skovoroda's teachings have a purely practical significance.ģ In dealing with the question of first principle in things, Skovoroda does not dwell on it exclusively. He uses it only as a support for his laws of [26] morality. He has need of it only to the extent to which it helps him to solve the practical question of action.34This view calls attention to some real aspects of Skovoroda's philosophy. First, his metaphysics, anthropology and epistemology do not receive as much attention as his ethics. They are merely sketched in and leave many problems not only unanswered, but even unconsidered. He is not interested in purely speculative and theoretical problems. What he does discuss is always closely connected with his ethics, and seems to be discussed only for that purpose. His ethics is the most extensively and fully developed part of his system. The clarity, the systematic consistency and the originality of its principles is unrivaled by any other part. We have Kovalinskii's declaration of Skovoroda's main interest and preoccupation in philosophy:Philosophy, or love of wisdom directs all its efforts to the end of giving life to our spirit, nobility to our heart, light to our thoughts, which are the head of everything. When the spirit in man is gay, the thoughts quiet, the heart peaceful, then everything is bright, happy, and blessed. This is philosophy.35His whole life was devoted to learning how to live well and to teaching this art to others. He often ridicules the intellectuals who are so dedicated to their sciences that they forget that these are merely tools for happy living and not ends in themselves:Mathematics, medicine, physics, mechanics, music with their ungovernable sisters; the more we taste of their richness, the more does our heart burn with hunger and thirst, while our dull dumbness does not even suspect that they are all handmaids serving a mistress and the tail in relation to the head without which the whole body is ineffective.36 [27]
To make Skovoroda's ethics the focal point of his system, however, is to disregard the fact that the wisdom to which he refers as the "mistress" and the "head" is much more than simply the rules of good living and the theory of happiness. By wisdom he means also insight into true reality beyond mere appearance, into the nature of the universe as well as the nature of man. In fact the teaching that true knowledge must precede good living is central to Skovoroda's philosophy. Metaphysics and the theory of man are essential to his ethics not only as the ultimate grounds on which the ethics is based, but also in another way. His ethics itself emphasizes its subordination to insight into reality. It declares itself to be only a consequence of the individual's insight into his own nature and the structure of reality. An ethics, which does not begin with metaphysical commitments, is self-frustrating for it cannot fulfil its function, i.e., lead to a happy life. Skovoroda's ethics is not formalistic: he does not believe that the observance of certain laws is sufficient for happiness. On the contrary, he emphasizes the necessity of insight into the reasons behind these laws. It is these ultimate reasons that give meaning to moral laws, to action and to life itself. Without them his notion of happiness and his whole theory of ethics would be misinterpreted.
(b) The Epistemological Emphasis
Another interpretation of Skovoroda 's philosophy gives precedence to his epistemological doctrine of the two ways of [28] knowing. It rightly emphasizes the epistemological dualism in Skovoroda based on the distinction of sensory knowledge, which attains only the surfaces of things and is temporally prior, from spiritual knowledge, which pierces through the surfaces and sees everything in its ultimate reality. Skovoroda discusses these two ways of knowing at great length. The act of faith has a central importance in his philosophy, because it is both the act of perceiving the real nature of things and also the starting point of his ethics. But why give priority to epistemology? Zenkovsky explains this step by claiming that the doctrine of the two ways of knowing leads to the doctrine of the duality of being. "Epistemology becomes a doctrine of the duality of being itself."37 But if this is true, then the reverse is certainly true also. "The reality of being was different on the surface and in the depths; and this led Skovoroda to the epistemological dualism which became central to his philosophy."38 As in all systems of philosophy, epistemology and metaphysics circularly support each other. Epistemology shows how reality is perceived to be what metaphysics holds it to be, and metaphysics explains how knowing is possible. Epistemology justifies metaphysics, and metaphysics justifies epistemology. To give precedence to epistemology is to associate philosophy with a Kantian critique. In the case of Skovoroda any such association would be completely false.
(c) The Anthropological Emphasis
The third view which takes Skovoroda's anthropology or [29] doctrine of man as the focal point of his system, is in my opinion correct. If I deal with this position at greater length and in fuller retail than with its rivals, it is not simply because I happen to approve of it, nor only because it gives a key to the organization of this paper, but mainly because it provides the best insight into the tightly knit unity of Skovoroda's system. Skovoroda has a well developed doctrine of the metaphysical structure of man which is based on more general metaphysical principles and which provides the immediate foundation for his ethics But his doctrine of man is not simply a department of the system as a whole. It is much more than one part among others, for it is a fundamental aspect of his metaphysics and his epistemology. In a word, his metaphysics and his epistemology are "humanized." Neither reality nor knowledge can be treated in abstraction from his theory of man's ontological structure. Ern expresses this fact thus:The first property that basically characterizes all the thought of Skovoroda is a deep and fearless anthropologism. For Skovoroda the key to all riddles of life, cosmic as well as divine, is man because all questions and all secrets for him are concentrated in man.39
It is difficult to explain with precision the way in which Skovoroda's metaphysics is "humanized" because he has left only a few short statements on this topic. To begin with, we find a doctrine of metaphysical parallelism between man and reality such that the dichotomy of God and the world in the macrocosm is reflected on a smaller scale in man. Skovoroda often speaks of the one Christ who is one is all [30] men and wholly in each man, and the body or man is an obvious counterpart of the world. Thus, the whole of reality is contained in miniature form in man. But it is not this parallelism that defines Skovoroda's "humanization of metaphysics."Ā Were this the meaning of "humanization," it might have been said with equal validity that Skovoroda rather than "humanizing" the universe, "universalizes" man. To explain how reality is permeated with the presence of man, I shall deal separately with the world and with God.
The world is "humanized" not only because it is contained in man, but because it derives its meaning and finds its fulfilment in man. Unfortunately, Skovoroda does not go beyond a few statements on this topic:But all this variously disguised flesh, all this measureless multitude and appearance is devoured and assimilated into man just as the largest tree turned to rot and decay and nothingness is safely hidden in its seed as in the smallest point, with all its branches, leaves, andĀ fruit.40Clearly, one purpose of the world's existence is to give sustenance to man's body and to enable him to lead a temporal life. The world becomes an extension of man's body, a substance that perpetually is being transformed into human substance. Thus, one side of the parallelism between man and the great world is established.ĀBut just as man's temporal existence is aimed at a higher end so also the first function of the world as the sustenance of human life is subordinated to a higher function. Man's purpose in life is to discover God, to live according to his will, and thus become freely like God. The world participates in this process also. The [31] world is a sign of God, his visible manifestation which should lead man's thoughts beyond itself to God. All externality, all appearances are aimed at man, and are to lead him to God:[O]f all ceremonies in whatever lands and times, of all knots, of all secret images in seals and signs, man is the center or end. Here everything ends.ģ Whatever it may be: a deed, action or word -- everything is an empty nothingness if it has not become an event in man himself.41The world, like a ceremony or a sign, exists not for itself but to signify, to point out something else to man. Thus, the world is connected with man in two ways and shares in his destiny:Everything that is designated there in the world must by necessity come to fulfillment in man himself.ģ This is why Paul, mentioning the sun, moon and stars ties all of them to the resurrection, that is, to man.42
If man achieves harmony with God and a new level of "divinized" life, then the world has fulfilled its end and is raised to a higher existence also. Without man the existence of the world would be pointless.
Not only the world but also God is "humanized" in Skovoroda. God is a trinity and one of the persons of the trinity is Christ, the God-man. Also Christ is the ideal man who lives in each particular empirical man and sustains him as the center of his being. Thus, God is inextricably involved in the life of every individual whether the individual realizes this or not. I shall deal with the Christ-Łman relationship in detail later. The point I wish to make is that God bears a human face in the person of Christi who is [32] the ideal man, the end of man and the metaphysical foundation of man's existence.
Skovoroda's epistemology is "humanized" because he sees knowledge, especially ultimate knowledge as the activity of the whole man, not of reason alone. True knowledge must not only satisfy the demands of reason for intelligibility, it must also satisfy the yearning of the heart for the highest good, eternal happiness. Knowledge involves both reason and will, and true knowledge is faith rather than speculative theory. As faith, it has a profound influence on man's existence and actions.
Skovoroda's epistemology is "humanized" in another way also because its basic principle is that all knowledge begins in self-knowledge. Since man is the microcosm that reflects all the structures of the macrocosm both God and the world can be known, or rather can only be known, through self-Łknowledge. "He who is blind at home is blind also on visits."43 We cannot know the ultimate nature of the material world without first discovering the nature of our body. Without recognizing our body's relation to God, we cannot perceive the true relation of the universe to God; that is, we cannot know the ultimate nature of the universe.
Just as the world can be known only through self-knowledge, so too God can be known only by discovering Him within ourselves. Thus, all ultimate knowledge, all wisdom which has as its object the nature of God and the world can be attained only by first discovering the full nature of man [33] in ourselves. This epistemological position does not imply idealism or relativism of knowledge. Given the parallelism of ontological structure in the microcosm and the macrocosm, it is apparent why the one can be known through the other. Knowledge of the microcosm takes precedence because the microcosm is closer to us (it is us) than the macrocosm. This makes it easier to discover the truth about the former than the latter. A more detailed explanation of Skovoroda's reasons for adopting this position must be left for later. If Skovoroda's belief in the revelation of the world through the scrutiny of one's body sounds childishly unscientific, it must: be borne in mind that he is not speaking of scientific knowledge of the world, but of ultimate metaphysical knowledge which knows the world truly when it perceives its relation to God. This type of knowledge can be discovered by examining the relation of our body to God. It should be clear by now that Skovoroda's doctrine of man and his destiny has a marked influence both on his metaphysics and his epistemology which are the two fundamental parts of any philosophical system. For this reason, it must be treated as the focal doctrine of his philosophy. [34]

It all started innocently enough. "Is there any whipping cream in the fridge?" my wife asked as she stirred the cake batter in the mixing bowl. "WHIPPING CREAM," I yelled in her direction. "Why are you shouting and what is the matter with you?" she fired back, giving me that look. I explained to her that I like booming out "whipping cream" when I hear those two words because it reminds me of the saga of the Allman Brothers Band and their song "Whipping Post." My wife stared at me blankly.
Okay, here's the story. The Allman Brothers were a highly successful southern rock and roll band in the early 1970s. One night, as they were playing to a sold-out audience in Atlanta, just as there was a perfect moment of stillness in between songs in their set, an extremely loud voice in the audience boomed out "WHIPPING POST." This was the title of one of the band's hit songs, which they usually reserved for their closing number or for their encore. However, the timing and sheer force of the call from the audience compelled them to change the set order and break into a boisterous rendition of the rocker.
It wasn't long before that same voice from that same fan began following the band around from city to city, concert to concert. His timing was impeccable, always at the quietest moment in the show, the cry would go out for "WHIPPING POST." Soon the phenomenon caught on and others at Allman Brothers shows began yelling out the two dreaded words before, after, and during the songs the band was performing. It got to the point where, before founding member Duane Allman died in a motorcycle crash, all you could hear at an Allman Brothers concert was people yelling "WHIPPING POST."
Why relate this irrelevant tidbit? It's simply one example of the thousands of minutiae occupying valuable real estate in this overcrowded organ I call my brain. There has been virtually no room for any new information to be stored therein since about the time the Berlin Wall came crumbling down.
You want more evidence of the minutiae clogging up my mind? Sure, I can tell you that 71 per cent of the earth's surface is covered in water, or that during coitus, the female praying mantis bites off the head of the male and later feeds herself by devouring the rest of his body. However. The minutiae I usually let loose are long, rambling tales that extend from nowhere to nowhere.
For instance, there's an island just a few miles north of Pender Harbour on the Sunshine Coast of B.C. called Nelson Island. One fine day back in the early '70s, I sailed up to the island with my friend, Roy. After anchoring in a sheltered bay, we hiked along one of the trails that led us to an area containing the remains of large semi-decaying wooden frames of buildings that looked like they might have been used as greenhouses long ago. Later that day we ran into a grizzled squatter who was a Yankee survivalist waiting for "the s—t to come down" (there was a lot of that kind of thinking going on at the time). He told us that the rotting structures we had seen earlier were indeed the last vestiges of a glorious era on Nelson Island when a large community of Finns had established a hugely successful commercial greenhouse operation that specialized in growing orchids.
This was in the 1920s, and it wasn't too long before these plucky Finns had cornered the world orchid market. Weekly, large boats sailed into the harbour nearby and loaded up with the valuable flora cargo. Unfortunately, other countries realized the value of the orchid commodity. In just a few years, the competition grew exponentially and the global price dropped decidedly as the bottom fell out of the orchid market. The once thriving Nelson Island community went bust.
Had enough? I've got more. Much, much more. On the south coast of Crete, the largest Greek island in the Aegean Sea, lies the town of Matala. During the '60s, this small fishing village became a mecca to hundreds of European and North American hippies and anarchists seeking the nirvana of a free life/love society. The large harbour and beach were lined with steep but climbable sandstone cliffs into which, over eons of time, the sea spray and weather had hollowed out dozens of deep caves. These very same caves, which had in their day housed post Stone Age lepers and Roman crypts for the dead, now became makeshift dwellings for the freak foreigners who streamed into the little village. When I turned up there in 1970, the graffiti they had scrawled and painted on the sandstone walls still remained, often standing out in relief because the paint had kept the sandstone beneath from weathering and eroding. Pidgin English slogans such as "today is forever/tomorrow never come" and "make love/then make love more" remind us today of an era not quite forgotten. Even Canadian poet and folksinging legend Joni Mitchell spent time living in a Matala cave and references the experience in her song "Carrie" ("the night is a starry dome/and they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll/beneath the Matala moon").
Eventually, the despotic military junta dictatorship ordered the army in, and the hippies were rounded up and evicted from the caves. In 1984, I returned to Matala to find the village devoid of hippies and the caves barren. Instead, the beach had become a tourist beehive of seminude Germans, Brits and Swedes, and not a word of Greek could be heard except from the beach vendors hawking their coloured prayer beads to the sunburnt foreigners.
On a whim, I hiked up one of the steep trails that led me up over the ridge and down into the next bay which was secluded in comparison to the Matala scene. As I descended, I was almost blinded by the glare of what looked to be a gigantic jewel on the beach. It glistened like the sun, in all its intensity, had half buried itself in the sand. When I finally reached the beach, I was able to make out the actual source of the glare. The blinding jewel was nothing but a monstrous pile of empty plastic water bottles reflecting the stark sunlight. They had been left behind over the decades by every hippie, anarchist and bloody tourist who had ventured over the same ridge as I had just done. In plastic talk, the pile proved indeed "today is forever."
Nobody asked me, but I can only hope that unloading these minutiae from my brain into yours will free up some space for new trivia to squeeze its way in. The worms are now free to roam about your little neural passageways. The only problem is that I have so many more to divest. So many, that I will have to save them for the next issue of "Nobody Asked Me But…."

"May you touch dragonflies and stars, dance with fairies and talk to the moon!"
Gray Ghost changed worlds in 2018 in the fall of his life and the fall of the year. The Gray Ghost Collection was created to honor his contribution to the wild horse world! He was born in the year 2002, a mere sixteen years he made an impression on the thousands who encountered him on their drive through the loop road!
This image, Wild Faerie, was captured in June of 2015 on the Fly Without Wings journey. The morning was heavy with ground fog, an unusual phenomenon in the mostly dry climate of the badlands of North Dakota. Gray Ghost was a bachelor stallion in June of that year. A couple of months prior to this he had lost his long time harem to those two bachelor brother's, son's of the stallion, Gary, Teton and Wild Rye. Both of those stallions now have their own prominence as band stallions. Teton taking on the role of park greeter as his harem is often the first band seen after crossing the cattle guard and Wild Rye keeping his harem near the old entrance to the park.
The toil of defending a new harem he had acquired was too much for him! Gray Ghost was second to Blaze from this artist's heart, as he was often the second stallion to be sought out to see what artistic wonders he would offer.
This one of a kind 40×60 limited edition print is professionally framed to protect your investment for the next generations. Printed by a master printer this fine art print has hand torn edges, is framed with a rustic wood frame, floated on a silk mat, and uses archival UV acrylic. Signed by the artist with an archival pigment and includes a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
We are donating a portion of this sale to a non-profit in the state the image was captured who advocate for wild horses through education or therapies, or who work directly with the BLM or NPS in providing on range management or ongoing adoption solutions.

I'm not sure what you do in your bedroom; that's between you and however secure your lock is but Jake Sprecher has been playing with himself and recording the album Try Not To Think. Try Not To Think as The Wind-Ups. If you don't like being surprised by loud noises or people bursting balloons behind you then brace yourself before you push play on this album.
From 'Too Many Bibles', which launches the album like cannon fire, to the final track 'Concrete Rose' you are the cannonball exploding out of the barrel on an 18 minute scream-ride that could dislocate a few joints or loosen some fillings. It's a relentless assault on the senses and one that mastering tech Dave Gardner (Black Lips, King Khan) calls "one of the loudest records I've ever worked on". If you can imagine a Mogadon Ramones or The Beach Boys in quicksand, track after track feels like having your senses applied to a cheese grater and though there's a pleasant pop song buried deep within their core these songs are soaked in distortion, rusty nails, razor blades, and truckloads of attitude.
'Try Not To Think. Try Not To Think' as a request is not a difficult ask as most brain activity shuts down when listening to the album, it's as if your grey matter is being squeezed from either side by this glorious sonic assault. Every track is full of punk snarl and garage grit but this garage is on fire while the band just carries on playing. Forget coffee, forget defibrillators just attach headphones and fire up this album to make you feel truly alive.
It has already been available as a digital download since July but now gets a clear/mint splatter vinyl release available from Rough Trade (UK) or MT.ST.MTN in the USA.
