Reading too much into things…

Of course, we all have our own “alternative” media outlets. We all gravitate to FAPs (Frequently Accessed Patterns), whether we are at work, at play, or at Love… we turn to our favorite “sources” of information, and catapult from there to a variety of interconnected information-gateways… that lead to more “information”…

I like BuzzFlash.com, but not because BuzzFlash.com has such a great bunch of writers, but because they aggregate information. Some of the BuzzFlash editors make some very good reading… but I also use them as a databank of links that I refer to frequently without having to bookmark and tabulate… from the BuzzFlash site I have linked to anothe favorite Common Dreams… and Alternet.org - although, Alternet.org has somewhat become more MSM (MainStream-Media) in recent years… Arts and Letters Daily still provides a different view than most “mainstream” sources… aldaily.com maintains it eclecticism with such offerings as Fantasy…

I recently came upon this website – http://www.lewrockwell.com/ and found some of the articles interesting… I hope you will too.

Hermitting…

Hermitting. I’m not sure if that is an actual word or not, but I like to refer to my intermittent, indeterminate breaks between postings, artwork, or even journaling, as a form of hermit-like behavior.

Of course, I also love the idea, or archetype of The Hermit. There are varying definitions or understandings of the term hermit. I like to study the different meanings and interpret them as an amalgam of what hermeticism means, to me, and to extend that with further insight and understanding. Wikipedia has this to say about the term Hermit. And, of course, Google.com, the search engine I have been prone to use of late, lists the Wikipedia entry as the first hit of over 6 million – GoogleSearch|Hermit.

The second link on the Google search is for a tarot web site, referencing – of course – The Hermit card, card number IX of most tarot decks major arcana. Of course, the links go on from there to… here… and here…

I understand “hermitting” to be “removing oneself from the daily ‘grind’ of ’society’ in order to ‘ground’ and ‘balance’ one’s spiritual life with one’s ‘life’-Life.”

I like that.
