Statecraft as soulcraft:
Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

Statecraft as soulcraft:
I don't understand this impulse at all. What is the point of automation if it isn't emancipatory, freeing more people to engage in the soulcraft like the liberal arts.

Instead of the stupid "We're not indoctrinating students, we can't even get them to do the reading *laughs on twitter*", we should have said "Yes, ideas are powerful and transformative, education is a form of soulcraft, and we're here to defend our vision of a just society."

“Politics at its worst is ugly, but politics at its best is magnificent. Because it's not just about policy. It is soulcraft and it is moral.”

I wrote this essay about Pete's thinking about politics, morality, and faith.
I'm not religious at all, but hearing Pete talk about politics in an almost spiritual way is very moving to me. I find it inspiring during a dark time.

"...after Pelley incorporated UFOs & extraterrestrials into his Soulcraft system, which the Ballards then duplicated..."

Soulcraft & Pelley talking about UFOs (he said flying saucers) were in the 1950s.
Guy Ballard died in 1939.

Bill Plotkin in his book ‘Soulcraft’ suggests humans have an innate longing for initiation into adulthood which isn’t provided in our culture. Without hearing our fathers, grandfathers & uncles telling us we have become men, we attempt to self initiate using various dangerous activities.

‘Soulcraft’, chosen by The Guardian as one of its poems to boost your mood. The poem's part of my collection Reckless Paper Birds (Penned in the Margins, 2019). Visiting Bede's School on Wednesday to hand out prizes for a competition in which students wrote responses to it.

Chapter 2.1, “what motorcycles teach about maintenance” discusses Shop Class as Soulcraft and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
It’s basically what you would expect if you’ve read either book. Brand treats maintenance not as a sociological phenomenon, but as a set of personal attributes.

Goes without saying: if you have any materials you are looking to get rid of from the I AM Activity, St Germain Foundation, William Dudley Pelley, Soulcraft, Church Universal and Triumphant or Ramtha's School of Enlightenment, drop me a line. I'm particularly interested in primary source documents.

Times of great transition are, in fact, the best opportunities to renew the search for meaning. As our old stories fall away, we begin to see new possibilities. When most empty, we're most able to be filled anew.
