    The Other Tchaikowsky A biographical sketch of André Tchaikowsky David A. Ferré Cover painting: André Tchaikowsky courtesy of Milein Cosman (Photograph by Ken Grundy) About the cover The portrait of André Tchaikowsky at the keyboard was painted by Milein Cosman (Mrs. Hans Keller) in 1975. André had come to her home for a visit for the first time after growing a beard. She immediately suggested a portrait be made. It was completed in two hours, in a single sitting. When viewing the finished picture, André said "I'd love to look like that, but can it possibly be me?"

When I sneaked a glance I saw that his eyes had narrowed and he held his mouth slightly open, as if ready to speak but unable to bring out the words. Finally, he managed a weak, "Would you say that again?" It was April 1985, and I had just arrived in London to enjoy six months of vacation and to fulfill an overdue promise to myself.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • A Political Interpretation of Plato's Protagoras and Gorgias
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Self-Deception and the City: A Political Interpretation of Plato’s Protagoras and Gorgias A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Philosophy Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy by Mary Elizabeth Halper Washington, D.C. 2019 Self-Deception and the City: A Political Interpretation of Plato’s Protagoras and Gorgias Mary Elizabeth Halper, Ph.D. Director: V. Bradley Lewis, Ph.D. Sophistry and rhetoric possess the disturbing power to appear to be precisely what they under- mine. Sophistry passes itself off as education even as it subverts genuine ethical and intellectual formation; rhetoric looks like a particularly compelling form of communication even as it sub- verts the possibility of seeking truth in speech. This dissertation begins with the claim that Plato wrote his Protagoras and Gorgias to treat of this disturbing power and its political consequences. I argue that the Protagoras and the Gorgias, as representative treatments of sophistry and rhetoric, should be read together in order to gain insight into the genuine art of politics, of which sophistry and rhetoric together form a subversive imitation. First I undertake an exegesis of the Protagoras and the Gorgias, both as individual dialogues and as a composite whole. Then I present systematic and philosophical arguments to support my central thesis, which emerges from my interpreta- tions and is supported by my thematic investigations. This thesis asserts that self-deception isan inherent feature of political communities, whereby political communities both must rely on the efficacy of appearance and cannot acknowledge this very reliance.

  • {PDF EPUB} Doctor Who 1001 Nights by Emma Beeby Doctor Who: 1001 Nights by Emma Beeby
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Doctor Who 1001 Nights by Emma Beeby Doctor Who: 1001 Nights by Emma Beeby. 1001 Nights (Emma Beeby, Gordon Rennie, Jonathan Barnes and Catherine Harvey) Currently Big Finish Production's main Doctor Who range has been divided into four trilogies every year, but with 13 releases in every 12-month cycle, there's always one story that stands alone and this has been reserved for the release for December. For December 2012 this stand-alone story is "1001 Nights" - a Fifth Doctor and Nyssa story starring Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton. "1001 Nights" has been written by: Emma Beeby and Gordon Rennie, Jonathan Barnes and Catherine Harvey. It has been directed by Barnaby Edwards and was recorded on the 7th and 8th August 2012. Joining Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton are: Alexander Siddig, Nadim Sawalha, Malcolm Tierney, Teddy Kempner, Kim Ismay, Debbie Leigh- Simmons, Christopher Luscombe and Oliver Coopersmith. Sylvester McCoy. It has been commented that this story’s lack of ties to other adventures is one of its strengths. As revealed by Barnaby Edwards ‘ The good thing about "1001 Nights" is that you don't need to know any continuity. You don't need to own any other Doctor Who audio stories for it to work - its great strength is that it's not part of a trilogy. It works incredibly well in its own right, and effectively because it's four stories all rolled into one, it's a quartet of new Fifth Doctor and Nyssa stories in one package. Very good value for money! ’.
