"We" Is An Activity

Mago Bill: A kind of contemplation of 'we' and 'us' as a social value.

            We can agree that "we" is a relationship, can't we? When we agree to relate it may be good to speak of the level at which we wish to relate. At what level might it be good for us to relate? We could speak of the reason for our relationship. How might we go about relating ? Might it be important that we show our concern for our "we?"

            What's in it for you? What's your interest? How is a mutual or reciprocal relationship handled?

            A "we" must consist of people, persons, individuals, right? Have you seen
the start of a "we?" Was there a kind of joining? Doesn't a "we" require some kind of maintenance?

            What do you suspect, believe, or know about the "we" in the "We the people..." document?

            That "we" could refer to us. How do we go about keeping track of our common interests? How do we reciprocate? "We the people" are a social relationship, aren't they?

            Let's say that we are the people in the "We the people" we know about.
What is the nature of our relationship? What is reason for our relationship? What's in it for you?

            "We" implies a unity, a union. We can probably agree that better and worse unions can be detected. How might we form a more perfect union?

            You may have some notions of "we" stirring in your mind now.

            Communication is important. Talk, dialogue, discussion are important. Talk of "us" and "we"  may be so important as to be called vitally important.

            I say that communication of persons is vitally important for the initiation and maintenance of a "we".    

            To have a good nation we have to have a good "we". 




Meditation techniques can be improved.

Trinidad // Tobago

Island Country 7 Miles From Venezuela

Trinidad is a large island, 846 sq mi. about seven miles from Venezuela, near the mouth of the great Orinoco River. 

The people of Trinidad are from Black Africa, East India, and everywhere else. 

You can learn to bathe in glass there. You can also get a biodegradable coffin of hallucinogenic nutmeg on this interesting island.

The food is varied. The curried goat satisfying.

There  is an 85 foot tall red statue of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman. Its the tallest one outside of India.

The Maine Ridge Forest Reserve is the oldest protected forest in the Western Hemisphere. The 14,000 acres of forest were declared a reserve in 1776 while the island was under British rule.

Pitch Lake a 100 acre, La Brea Tar Pit like place, has been mined to pave roadways around the world. 

There is a beach where you can better your love life, do a sand exfoliation, and listen to Syrian music. 

Tobago is the smaller of the two caribbean islands which make up the nation of Trinidad and  Tobago.

Tobago has great ample sandy beaches.

The capital of Tobago is the village of Scarborough.

Kayak through the mangrove swamps of Tobago. 

If you are getting the idea that Tobago is more touristy of the two islands of this Island nation you are on the correct track.

Port of Spain is the big city of the nation and it is on Trinidad.

In Trinidad and Tobago you may begin to feel you are in the real Caribbean an you would be right. It is not all of the Caribbean, but it is a lot of it.

On the two islands there is magic, it comes down the great Orinoco, 
it comes from India, it comes from Africa, and it has found a home there.

Still, It pays to be a bit careful there. Some say that there too many birds. Many say one can get wet and dirty there.

Our Dialogue As A Productive Way To Practice English (ELPG)

Call it a Magic Table Dialogue Group. Call it a Dialogue For Peace group. Call it an English Language Practice Group.

As an English Language Practice Group it can be easy enough to be practical and productive for a beginning learner; it can be enjoyable enough and culturally enhancing enough for a native speaker of English to keep her coming back; it is a focused practice of listening to, and hearing a variety of individuals speaking English. 

So our "ELPG" helps a beginning learner to hear the sounds of English as he listens to a variety of speakers say a few sentences on a limited topic. He experiences a focused intensive listening practice. He also has opportunities to choose the topic. When he is taking English class elsewhere to he will see his learning exhilarate.

This practice group can be of considerable interest to a native speaker. Such an English speaker can learn fun and empowering cultural enhancing rules of Magic Table Dialogue, she can also learn the Dialogue for Peace skills for dealing with and appreciating the assumptions and opinions perhaps very different from her own. She can also make friends with with individuals of a different language and culture than her own.

The middle ground learner of English can build his own word power by hearing targeted words in context. He also learns hear the English of a variety of speakers rather than just the pronunciation and manner of speaking of the teacher. He will here a number of people speak a given word in their own way. Hearing and listening to this speech for, say, pronunciation and intonation is great language practice. This practice combined with hearing a  single word in a variety of sentences leads the learner into meaning and understanding in context. Practice is the main is the main aim here and listening is the principle practice. He will also get his turn by a very interested group of individual. He will say his few words. He will be listened to closely by the group.

Or dialogue is not a substitute fe other language studies. However, you could learn a valuable practice which serve you for a lifetime.You will eperience meaning in dialogue.

What's in it for you?
* You can improve your listening skills.   
* Yuo can practice hearing what is said.
* You can practice using a language other than your own. 
* You can improve your understanding of language and people.
* You will be listened to.
* You will learn to understand a variety of English speakers.
* You will learn to be understood as you speak English.

Public Fora

Real free speech: under democratic local control, honest, and even true 

                It seems to me that many geographical communities and perhaps neighborhoods could benefit from a physical forum. A place especially designed in which to freely talk about matters of local public interest. It ought to be a place that small crowds and smaller groups could be addressed and perhaps ranted to about about politics, religion, sex, governance. It could also have space and time for conversation on more important affairs. Space for free tutoring or teaching might find a place and be of benefit in such a place.

    

            It could be a space in which to learn free speech. Really true free speech, with egalitarian opportunity to participate.

            I would attend if amplification was of modest volume.

A great introduction to DNA!

Perhaps, theoretical, any single man can be traced back to a single man.



It is here I will put the last of my DNA questions:

~ How any tests or kinds of tests are there for DNA?
~ How are genealogies correlated to DNA results.
~ What else can DNA results be correlated to? Can they be correlated to a family tree?
~ How are common ancestors uncovered through DNA testing? What if most of my ancestors are uncommon?
~ What if the ancestors are dead? Is it really necessary to dig them up?
~ How can DNA testing help to provide a "time predictor" for the likely date of the most recent common ancestors of two related individuals?" Why might we want to do that?
~ Are there many DNA tests?
~ What else might it be useful for me to know about DNA?
~ What's endogomy?

Napoleon


Hints of that which we can learn related to Napoleon:

The law of the U.S. state of Louisiana is significantly influenced by Napoleonic Law.

Prussians are the ones who saved the peoples of Great Britain from the armies of Napoleon. 

Napoleon made his brother king of Spain and for the next six years, 1808 t0 1814, the Spanish people waged a guerrilla war against the French. At the same time the colonial peoples of Mexico, South America, and Central America fought wars of independence from French Spain.

If Napoleon as his first name, what as his second name? It that question was too easy try this on: How did U.S. commercial policy and actions relate to the Opium Wars?  

The sixty yeas of war from 1776 to 1815 did much to prepare busy little America and most of Europe to prepare for the Industrial revolution. In the U.S. immigration made labor so cheap that employers were free to pay the lowest wage possible. Most immigrants then were ignorant of our freedom to control the distribution of our wealth.

Discontent of workers in Europe led to the revolts of 1884 there. The savagery of the repression of those revolts showed the nature of the the ruling class of the time. This same discontent led to a great deal of immigration to the Americas, much of it to North America.

My Paternal Grandfather

Mago Bill: More of, who wants to know, about Mago Bill

 

                I never met him. He was the first of my paternal grandmother's three husbands. He was born on the 26th day of August of the year 1884 in Des Moines, Iowa. In that same year the Brick and Clay Workers of America was founded on May 18th; the Ringling Brothers gave their first circus performance in Baraboo, Wisconsin; Eleanor Roosevelt was born in October; and Pope Leo the XIII condemned secular Freemasonry.   
                He was named Joseph Carroll Sheehan.
                He married Josephine Sophia Helwick on January 16th 1907 in Chicago, Illinois. My father, Carroll Joseph Sheehan was the eldest of the four children they bore together. In the year of that marriage the English and French nations agreed on Siamese independence; William James' "Pragmatism" was published; Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scout movement; and the first daily comic strip "Mr. Mutt" is run in the San Francisco Chronicle and later became Mutt and Jeff.
                Joseph Carroll was the son of Mago William Sheehan and Mary J. Carroll.

"Mago" and the Phoenicians

Phoenicians                

                They had certainly heard of Atlantis, but that fabled land had disappeared thousands of years before the Phoenician posted themselves near the Pillars of Hercules. Those same pillars may once have been called the Pillars of Atlas or even the Gates of Atlas. They certainly guarded  the way to the great Atlantic sea and to the isle beyond the western isle. 

Those Phoenicians were a knowledgeable people who we might now begin to call Carthaginians. The knew much of trade and of navigation. They also knew of mining, metallurgy, language writing, warfare on land and sea. They knew that the islands not far beyond the Pillars not only contained gold, silver, and tin, but also contained men experience in mining and metalworking. They may even have known of the little people there who aided in the extraction of those precious metals from beneath the earth.

Carthage and the Carthaginians

                The name and title of Mago was very well known among those Carthaginian Phoenicians. I have found the use of the title among them as early as 750 BC. You my find that it was used much earlier. I do find strong evidence  that they were carrying on regular trade with Western Isles 500 and 400 BC.

The Magonids were a political dynasty of Carthage from about 550 to
340 BC. The dynasty began with Mago I, under whom Carthage became preeminent among the Phoenician colonies  in the western Mediterranean.  Under the Magonids the Carthaginian Empire expanded to include Spain, Sardinia, Libya, and erhas Sicily. Diodorus and Herodotus tell us Of the Magonids better than do most Romans.

Mago

                There was a Mago II and then a Mago III who led Carthaginians. There also seems to have been a Mago who commanded, or navigated for, the trading fleet which connected the Western Isles to the Mediterranean. You may know, or have guessed, that the isle beyond the western isle is now called Ireland. 

                It might have been Mago, that knowledgeable shipmaster, who impressed an early Sheehan and led him, or her, to adopt the name Mago for their son.  My Irish great grandfather had the name Mago William Sheehan. That is the source of the name Mago Bill for this blog.

                So, Mago Bill has a history.

Another Early Mago

Yes, this is related to my Irish great grandfather Mago William Sheehan.

Another early Mago was Mago Barca of the late third century BCE. He was Hannibal's brother and a Carthaginian general. He was also the youngest son of Hamilcar Barca of the Barcids. 

The Balearic Islands seem to have an Irish connection of some sort. On Menorca Mago Barca lent his name to the city still called Port Mahon. Does not Mahon seem to have a bit of an Irish ring? The typical Mahon egg sauce that has conquered the word is known as mayonnaise! Isn't there a mayo something  something or other on "the old sod?"

More On Dialogue

                In our dialogue practice there is no agenda in the ordinary sense. Our purpose, in large part, is the practice. The practice is the honest and just sharing of meaning and development of coherence.  We practice certain methods and skills for thinking together.

                Our present purpose is to practice skills and learn rules of effective dialogue. We hope that others will come to see how this mere practice builds and supports our culture even as we listen and speak.

                This Dialogue For Peace, this Magic Table Dialogue, this dialogue is mostly leaderless. We can practice it and share its benefits without leaders.

                To begin your dialogue you will need to talk with others about the dialogue. You will begin, probably, by talking it over, discussing why you are doing it, what it means, and how you want to do it. 


                More to come.

Our Dialogue

Participate in a dialogue group

                Our dialogue talk is designed to create areas of coherence in the vastness of misunderstanding. Often a major benefit of our dialogue practice is our experiencing the power of collectively shared meaning. Most ordinary talk in our society may be called incoherent. To learn our dialogue talk takes ongoing practice. This practice we have named The Dialogue, Dialogue for Peace, Magic Table Dialogue. The dialogue has which call for practice to develop proficiency. The rules need not be rigid, but hey do point the importance of correct practice.

Aim:

                The dialogue is aimed at learning to think together coherently. Thinking together coherently calls for sustained dialogue. The earliest dialogue may be called a listening practice, but also calls for use of your voice and mind as well as your ears. Thinking together is both satisfying and a great power. We believe that it is worth the effort to practice. 

                This thinking together is a growth and learning process. It occurs consciously and also on a preconscious level. It may occur within us as in our talk to ourselves, or even on an unspoken level. Such talk and thinking may be expected to take on renewed honesty.

                There were times and places when and where this kind of talk was common, but in these days it is uncommon At this time the dialogue of which we speak is rare. It seems to me that it is urgent that more of us practice this sort of dialogue. It is urgent that more of us practice a more effectively honest and coherent communication. By 'we' I mean humanity in general as well as well as those willing to practice the dialogue now.      

Group benefits:                    

                A dialogue practice group benefits when its members strive for diversity and inclusiveness.

                For our own well-being  and perhaps our survival we need to better share our consciousness and become better able to think together. Being able to think together enables us to do intelligently and effectively that which we deem necessary.

            Seems time to close for now. Later we might consider how dialogue supports and strengthens our culture. Another topic might be the set of a dialogue group.
