When we look upon Israels role i the ongoing peace debates. Sometimes I feel Israel does not acknowledge that I am a Jew. Yes I have background in all three religions, but firstly I am a Jew. This brings Israel to the forefront of the negotiations of peace, and honestly, this is Israel. Israel is […]
When we look upon the potential of what we might gain, one thing is certain; the possibilities are many, and we may actually make history in our time. When we look back in history, there has never been a point where all three religions had the potential to find common ground. Well, in fact we […]
The horrible images of the Kenyan mall, are still upon my inner vision. I see the atrocities, the dismembering and the onslaught of all we hold dear as something human. As though Chuckey the doll, just appeared from under my toilet seat, and started hacking away happily on my leg. Horror movies are not supposed […]
When I was a young man, my mother always used to tell me, that it is not possible to save the world. I remember I did not like the sound of it, the up giving feeling, and I remember, that I chose to think that it is wrong. We as human beings have a choice, […]
When we are looking at the Middle East theatre, we are both looking at redemption and possible demise. There is, really, a chance now for peace and for a positive development, and all are basically trying their best to find a solution. But there are numerous obstacles to the process, plenty of unwise and destructive […]
When Abraham looked upon Babylon, and saw its demise, he was both a politician and a man of G-d. The city burned down, because it had too much freedom, and the chaos it found itself in was boundless, symbolized by the heaven reaching Ziggurat; the tower of Babylon. Now, he wandered, and, in the end […]
In my view Judaism, and consequently Christianity and Islam is stretched out between Abraham and Moses in an ideological sense. Where Abraham believed in love, Moses was the light bringer. Abraham represented the Babylonian view, Moses represented the Egyptian view. Now, as Christians say; Jesus is the redeemer, because he is the light and the […]
We are closing on a deal in Syria, it will hopefully come to an end. Concerning the discussion on who and what persons did use chemical attacks. This is not the important point, as I see it, it is the peace process itself that is important, we need to make peace in all possible ways. […]
The Christians of the Middle East are all under attack, they are paying the price for chaos and tumult that we in the West have started. This is not in anyones interest, least of all us, we in the West who wanted to make a better world. Now, the most pressing issue, and something we […]
The world is turning around, and we see unprecedented proof of a new world order. Before it was all about manipulating this and that, now it is about being open and honest. After the second world war Mr. Niels Bohr, the Danish physicist and coinventor of the atom bomb, send a plea out to the […]
Congratulations Norway, on a new path to redemption and hopefully a better Norway. As old kin, we heartily congratulate you, and hope for the future. Here are some reflections on the future of Norway. First of all, you have to recognize your strengths. They are not the strengths that the former government thought they were; […]
Moses was an Egyptian, he might have been an adopted Jew, or, as Freud say; just an egyptian. But, to understand the implications of this, and the depth of his mission. We need to see his world through his eyes. This is how he saw it, as I would interpret it, based on a lot […]
When we talk about the tribe of Israel, we wonder whence it came, but more, what are the basic principles of Israel. I have covered Abraham, as I have tried to understand him in the light of his world, but another giant of Jewish thought; Moses I have still not really understood. Or rather until […]
We believe, that all we do is in accordance with nature. This is so, but beyond nature, there is more, and we still, graced by spirit, are given a free choice here in our lives on earth. Let us look first on spirit. This is a natural force that is within and in all. It […]
When we talk about Europe, we wish things were different. The old continent is dying, is in its final phase of corruption. That is the real status of Europe right now.
