In this collection you'll find old school papers, articles I've written for magazines, pieces of unfinished books, and the stuff I've recovered from other websites I've operated.

More in the Library. An archive of things I've written. More about the articles. Saturday, July 4, 2009. A Lifetime Reading List a la Joseph Campbell. This reading list was developed by Joseph Campbell for his Mythology class at Sarah Lawrence College. It was published in Appendix 2 of The Mythic Dimension. Edited by Antony Van Couvering. Campbell replied by saying that she had misunderstood him. The list wasn't meant to be read that semester; they had the rest of their lives to read it! I did in Japan.

Articles: from the Library at JamesBaquet.com: Transparent to Transcendence
http://articles.jamesbaquet.com/2009/06/transparent-to-transcendence.html
More in the Library. An archive of things I've written. More about the articles. Thursday, June 25, 2009. Several years ago, I had a blog in which I re-published some of my more interesting correspondence. One of the letters I published there was regarding the phrase used by Joseph Campbell, Transparent to Transcendence. As of this date, if you Google that phrase, my crappy old blog is the first to come up. Still, the article gives several perspectives on the meaning of this phrase. It's worth a look.

Brief notes on Buddhist thought and practice. More about these pages. Prince Siddhartha, now a mendicant, turned his steps to the south. He reached the country of Maghada, and the capital city of Rajagaha. Here he continued to beg for alms. When Bimbasara's son returned with news that this extraordinary mendicant was indeed Prince Siddhartha, King Bimbasara was so amazed that he decided to go meet Prince Siddhartha for himself. Bimbasara, thinking this was extraordinary, offered him a place to stay in Bi...

At the Feet of Sri Ramakrishna: A Wisdom Blog at JamesBaquet.com: From a Scrawl to a Fine Hand
http://ramakrishna.jamesbaquet.com/2009/08/from-scrawl-to-fine-hand.html
Finding wisdom for our everyday lives in the words of one of India's greatest saints. More about Sri Ramakrishna. From a Scrawl to a Fine Hand. A boy begins to learn writing by drawing big scrawls, before he can master a finer hand. So we must learn concentration of the mind by fixing it first on forms; and when we have attained success at that, we can more easily fix it upon the formless.

At the Feet of Sri Ramakrishna: A Wisdom Blog at JamesBaquet.com: From Big Targets to Small
http://ramakrishna.jamesbaquet.com/2009/08/from-big-targets-to-small.html
Finding wisdom for our everyday lives in the words of one of India's greatest saints. More about Sri Ramakrishna. From Big Targets to Small. A marksman learns to shoot by first taking aim at large objects; the better he gets, the easier it becomes to hit smaller things. So when the mind has been trained to fix on images with form, it becomes easier to fix it upon images having no form. See the notes to " A Bell Rings With and Without Form.

Sayings of a modern mystic who was down-on-his-luck. More about the Yogi. If all the other clocks are wrong.". If all the other clocks are wrong, you best be callin' 'Time'". The Yogi said that a lot of people made a hobby of finding fault with others, basically trying to show their superiority and that they were "right" while everybody else was wrong. Calling "Time" would be a reality check. When you hear, "At the tone, the time will be." you can reset your "watch" to the way things really are. People a...
