World Univ & Sch seeks to become ginormous number of jobs' creator! :)

(2.2 million jobs in ~200 countries and 7111 known living languages?)

House is clean after Saturday party ... on with WUaS Minutes, book writing, SSP Scottish small pipes' album creation ... Twitter is an active communication sphere here ... as is blog ... with picture from party ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/red-panda-if-you-were-going-to-study.html?m=0 ... and WUaS online Bachelor's Computer Science degree planning ... big web WUaS  updates on Youtube yesterday too ... Living in a very beautiful place (Canyon, CA 94516), albeit too hot yesterday afternoon still.

Hi Ma,

Glad you now have an interim Unitarian Universalist minister ... did you have a voice in choosing her?

I'm an appreciator of the love I sense UUs generate (as a culture), touched on in some of the videos below too.

Love, Scott
First a partner and begin a family, then visit Harbin again? ... virtual Harbin explorations underway in blog 'virtual Harbin' label frequently ... interesting that Harbin's a church too ... anthropologically ... (here's a blog label touching on this - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Heart%20Consciousness%20Church?m=0 ...) ... see 'anthroplogy' label too, and 'Harbin ethnography' label as well

Haven't met many UUs that I know of at Harbin, although I have met some Quakers (which is an underlying theme in my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book - https://www.worldcat.org/ and https://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity) there ... interesting

Sending love, Scott

Methinks the ethics of Harbin Hot Springs' re my 'hippies to the hot springs' interpretation in my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book, and nudity there especially in the pool area, and re their (Harbin Hot Springs / HCC's) observance of California law as far as I've noticed or observed ... will raise some newly possibly fascinating ethics' questions in a realistic virtual Harbin ... The only gray area re Harbin and the law could be in Harbin workshops, as I observed to my friend Ed this spring ... but I'm also not a lawyer either ... and really don't know re Harbin and the law (but may learn further with time) ... (although I did teach a course on anthropology and the law as a graduate student instructor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, many years ago). I also think that Harbin sees itself as independent, but still operates in California, and apparently with a nod to California law ...

And while UUs seem (in UU churches) in my experience to create a culture of care / love (which is tremendous when successful - e.g. I see you, Ma, as a UU example of someone who cares greatly), Heart Consciousness Church (HCC) aka Harbin Hot Springs seems to have created a culture of one's heart's desire (and potentially a much needed balance in the world of churches even - and as an alternative, countercultural-hippy place even ... and also as a fascinating creative emergence from the 1960s/'70s in northern California, potentially because HCC's founder, Ishvara, is still around - since 1972) ...

Hi M,

Nice to talk.

Just searched on 'Unitarians in Cambridge, England' out of curiosity, and found ...


Robert Curgenven live Unitarian Church Cambridge UK - 23 September 2013 - https://youtu.be/p0xAakvmr1U

UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST TRADITION: A SHORT HISTORY - https://www.uua.org/leadership/learning-center/governance/polity/47003.shtml ... (and its Time Machine 1648/49: The Cambridge Platform video - https://vimeo.com/343528575)

Oxford Unitarians speak of their faith - https://youtu.be/-goOyv0TjKk

Unitarians, Baptists, and Quakers - https://youtu.be/WV17mlmGnnc

So this is what a Google search brought up today ... re perspectives on a religion in Cambridge England via the Internet.

Some are kinda interesting ... religion via an algorithm search via internet video and text on 10/20/19 ... what is the world coming to? !!! :)

Love, Scott



Some UU ministers:

Scotty McLennan -
The Rev. William (Scotty) McLennan is a Unitarian Universalist minister, lawyer, and educator, currently teaching ethics at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He was the University Chaplain at Tufts for sixteen years and Dean for Religious Life at Stanford for fourteen years. (He is also the inspiration for cartoonist Gary Trudeau’s Doonesbury character, the Rev. Scot Sloan.) ... Gary Trudeau and Scotty McLennan were roommates at Yale University ...

Conversations on Compassion with Scotty McLennan



I resonate with much of what UU minister and lawyer Scotty McLennan says here - https://youtu.be/wWa40loLT4k - in that what he speaks about expresses some of my own history as well, albeit he's around 12 years older than I am - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotty_McLennan - and appreciate the compassion as well as the tone with which he expresses this :). 

Added this to this blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/passiflora-world-univ-sch-seeks-to.html - too: And while UUs seem (in UU churches) in my experience to create a culture of care / love (which is tremendous when successful - e.g. I see you, Ma, as a UU example of someone who cares greatly), Heart Consciousness Church (HCC) aka Harbin Hot Springs seems to have created a culture of one's heart's desire (and potentially a much needed balance in the world of churches even - and as an alternative, countercultural-hippy place even ... and also as a fascinating creative emergence from the 1960s/'70s in northern California, potentially because HCC's founder, Ishvara, is still around - since 1972) ...

to Ed, Janie, Larry, Scott, David, Mary, Sandy

Hi Ed, David, Mary, Jane, Sandy and Larry,

Just shared the email below with my mother ... and with regards too to my recent whistle-blowing now 4-6 times in recent years.  ('Ecology' is a word I'm using for history or even kind of karma/dharma or holism - a holistic view of life - which includes issues of social justice perhaps. (Maybe Cosmic Skeptic Atheist Alex may touch on related questions re his "Do Human Rights even exist" video here - "Do Human Rights Actually Exist?" ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/new-zealands-southern-alps-world-univ.html)
Sincerely, Scott

Hi Ma,

I haven't heard very much about MIT's Reif at all recently ...

Appreciating too Stanford Lecturer in Business Ethics, and UU Minister and Lawyers, Scotty McLennan's view on love (care) as being important in business ethics re relationships ....

Scotty McLennan: Great Literature for Great Leaders

... but am wondering how things play out on the ground legally and ethically at Stanford these days in an ongoing way ... (given my recent 'whistle-blowing' there).

Swedish Unitarians reviewed

Sweden[edit]

Inspired by the writings of Theodore Parker the Swedish writer Klas Pontus Arnoldson founded in Gothenburg in 1871 the Unitarian association Sanningssökarna ("The Truth Seekers") – later also found in Stockholm. This association also published the periodical Sanningssökaren ("The Truth Seeker"). Two other Unitarian associations were founded in 1882 (one of them in Stockholm). In 1888 Unitarians asked the Swedish King for permission to establish yet another Unitarian association in Gothenburg but was turned down because Unitarianism was not regarded as a Christian religion. Later many Unitarians turned to theosophy. In 1974 members of The Religion and Culture Association in Malmö founded The Free Church of Sweden and Rev. Ragnar Emilsen would be its pastor (ordained 1987 to Unitarian minister for Sweden and Finland and later the first to become Unitarian bishop of Scandinavia, he died February 2008). In 1999 the church changed its name to The Unitarian Church in Sweden.
