The nineteenth century visionary and christian mystic Jakob Lorber, who called himself “God’s Scribe”, was born in Kanischa, a small village in the Jahring parish, Duchy of Styria (now Kaniža pri Jarenini in Lower Styria, Slovenia). He transcribed what he heard from an inner voice from the region of his heart. The result was the […]

“(First,) There is no first strike in karate” is the second of the Shōtō nijū-kun (松濤二十訓), so I chose a topic, which has something to do with this second precept, for this second part of this article series. Halfway sane people anyway don’t want to hurt other people. This even can mean to leave the […]

In the case of the big mysterious blackout in Spain a year ago, an oscillation of 0.2 Hz in the power grid of the European Union played a big role. I meanwhile have an idea on where such an oscillation could have originated. In Germany, even animals must respect repose periods. For the sake of […]

This is another anecdote from my time in secondary school. The entrance of the building consisted of a two-wing door side at side with another two-wing door and after passing through them another twin set of two-wing doors side at side, thus creating a small room probably for the sake of insulation. I back then […]

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says that only Iran bombs civilian targets. The opposite is true. Thousands of Iranians already got injured due to more than one-hundred-and-two-thousand civilian facilities in Iran got bombed, while Iran in return had only tried to neutralize the threat. Albeit Iran meanwhile threatened with retaliation. But the most prominent […]

When watching American tv series or watching anime, I always wonder why people don’t know their classmates’ names. My memory for names is really bad, but I at least remember the names of the classmates, who I had decades ago. But I meanwhile watched so many anime that I understand the phenomenon. People are together […]

This article is a kind of addendum to ‘The Real Reason for Deep Stances in the Martial Arts’ and also to ‘My Own Lineage III’. I in the latter told: “I furthermore had once begun to learn tài-jí-quán (traditional: 太極拳 / simplified: 太极拳) in a club in a village in the vicinity of my village, […]

This article also is a kind of addendum to ‘The Number of the Beast’. The quoted Bible verse Matthew 10:24 mentions mammon. I wonder why this word not always is capitalized. It indeed means ‘money’ in Hebrew, but there’s a reason for this word in most Bible translations not getting translated. Mammon is a personification and […]

The Martial Development blog is a really great blog because it also treats the health aspects and the spiritual aspects of martial arts. In the comment section of a blog post on the Martial Development blog, I found a comment, which elaborates parallels between Christ and according figures from other religions. It’s a really good […]

This is an addendum to my article on the asteroid Teller. The grandfather of Eduard Teller thought that Teller would be stupid because Eduard Teller needed longer than the average child until he was able to speak. This was due to Eduard Teller growing up bilingually. I skipped this issue in my article on the […]
