Reverend William A. Blayney William A. Blayney was born in Western Pennsylvania at Claysville on December 21, 1918. He had a natural talent for drawing at a grade school and drew cartoon-like figures and sayings on bomber planes while serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. Honorably discharged in 1945, Blayney drove heavy equipment vehicles and ran an auto body and engine repair shop. In the late 1950's, Blayney became increasingly interested in studying the Bible and attended Bible meetings conducted by local TV evangelist Kathryn Kuhlman. Blayney suddenly started to paint in 1957, at the same time that he became immersed in the Bible. He felt he had a mission to preach, he began to paint the intense religious works which express his concern with the decline of morals in the world. His paintings express the redemptive power of God as revealed by the Hebrew prophet Daniel while held captive in Babylon in the Old Testament and of the Holy Trinity in the New Testament's book of Revelations. He was ordained in 1969 in the Pentecostal Ministry by the laying on of hands. When Blayney died in 1985, he left a trailer full of paintings to his brother. Painting: Pagan Roman Kingdom, 1961

About the Book
"Robert Belton's sympathetic, absorbing biography deals intelligently with both the troubled, abrasive personality and the impressive painting of William Ronald. The Theatre of the Self substantially enlarges our knowledge of Canadian art history and the artists who lived it." - Robert Fulford, author, journalist, broadcaster and editor From the Introduction:
"Common knowledge has it that Ronald is primarily a historical figure whose contribution to Canadian art lies in the formation of the free-thinking Painters Eleven in the 1950s. This is correct enough, but concomitant with it is the tacit assumption that his choice to downplay painting temporarily for a career in broadcasting implies that his later years were substantially a matter of showmanship and/or charlatanism.... [Ronald is] one of the more genuinely fascinating characters in Canadian culture, one to whom we are indebted for much more than a spirit of internationalism running counter to what was thought of in the 1950s as the choke-hold of the Group of Seven." About the Author
Dr. Robert Belton has taught the history of art and aesthetic theory and criticism at McMaster University, the University of Western Ontario, and Queen's University, where he received the Alma Mater Society Frank Knox Award for Teaching Excellence (1991-92) and the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society Award for Teaching Excellence (1991-92). Currently, he is an Associate Dean of Arts at Okanagan University College in Kelowna, B.C. Dr. Belton has also published

Welcome To...
Janny's Cottage is a superb holiday cottage, accommodating up to 4 persons, nestled in secluded countryside yet only 10 minutes from Fort William centre.
The cottage, in the tiny hamlet of Tomacharich, enjoys outstanding views of the magnificent north face of Ben Nevis and Nevis Range Ski Centre.
Janny's Cottage Why Janny's Cottage?
The cottage stands adjacent to the former village schoolhouse. The school buildings would have been in the care of the caretaker or janitor - or the 'janny', as we called him when we were schoolchildren.
Traditionally built, the cottage has been tastefully refurbished to a high standard, with a pitch-pine vaulted-beam lounge leading onto a verandah. What could be more enjoyable than watching the sun set in the west, or in winter relaxing by the open fire after a day skiing at Nevis Range, only a short drive from the cottage.
Nearby you will discover ponytrekking and trout-fishing, walking and climbing, canoeing and sailing.
Further afield, you can take visit the Isle of Skye, Loch Ness, Inverness or Glencoe...

William Holman Hunt's "Oriental Mania" and His Uffizi Self-portrait (III)
George P. Landow , Professor of English and Art, Brown University
[This essay originally appeared in The Art Bulletin, The public meanings of the Self-portrait appear in the fact that the painter represents himself in the roles he had enacted when he traveled to the Middle East those of adventurer, explorer, ethnographer, and pilgrim. Like so many European travelers, he had a love affair with the Middle East; and despite all the hardships and difficulties he endured while painting in Egypt, Syria, and Palestine, he remained enthralled by these lands which had provided the setting for both sacred history and the Arabian Nights. As he told William Bell Scott in 1860 when he was finishing The Finding of the Saviour in the Temple , his work on this painting and several other Oriental subjects might temporarily exhaust what he termed his "oriental mania," but his vocation as a painter would not let him stay in England for long: "I cannot believe that Art should let such beautiful things pass as are in this age passing for good in the East without exertion to chronicle them for the future, and I promise myself to return in spirit to the land of good Haroun Alraschid if I can't get there in body before the present year is out" (signed autograph letter, February 18(?), 1860; London; Troxell Collection, Princeton University). The painter's words well capture the complex attraction that this part of the world had for him. At the same time that he felt the urge to play the historian, anthropologist, and ethnographer and thus record the facts of life in these countries, he also indulged the romantic desire to enter the magic realm of the

Back to CONTENTS James G. Watson William Faulkner: Self-Presentation and Performance
Austin: University of Texas Press, 2000. xvi+255pp. TOKIZANE Sanae As an editor of Faulkner's early letters, Thinking of Home: William Faulkner's Letters to His Mother and Father, 1918-1925 (1992), James G. Watson seems to have hit on an intriguing theme of the relation between the novelist's letters and his fiction. In the previous book, William Faulkner: Letters and Fiction (1987), Watson explored an untrodden field of the meaning and function of letters in Faulkner's novels, where his focus was apparently less on how Faulker treated letters in his works than how the novelist's own letters were rendered in them. Preoccupation with letters and the other biographical elements of Faulkner's novels is also obvious in Watson's most recent book. All through the six chapters of this book, drawing on not only the novelist's early letters but also his various mementos of youth such as photographs, drawings and poetical works, Watson demonstrates what these items show in common, how they are adapted into the novels, even into the later ones, and how Faulkner converts his life into his works.
It is in fact for their showiness and adaptation rather than their themes or subjects that Watson finds these sources biographically significant. He claims that Faulkner's art is the art of "self-presentation" and the presentation is conducted through the most deliberate and elaborate "performance" in its literal sense. The close relationship between the life and the works of the novelist is no news in Faulkner criticism. We already have, as Watson himself alludes to, Judith Wittenberg's

56. Proof's Of The Hidden Self -A Theosophical Article By William Q. Judge
being felt and perceived, the inevitable conclusion is that we are the Hidden selfand that self is above and beyond both body and brain. william Q. JUDGE Path
http://www.blavatsky.net/theosophy/judge/articles/proofs-of-the-hidden-self.htm
PROOFS OF THE HIDDEN SELF THROUGH DREAMS THE dream state is common to all people. Some persons say they never dream, but upon examination it will be found they have had one or two dreams and that they meant only to say their dreams were few. It is doubtful whether the person exists who never has had a dream. But it is said that dreams are not of importance; that they are due to blood pressure, or to indigestion, or to disease, or to various causes. They are supposed to be unimportant because, looking at them from the utilitarian view-point, no great use is seen to follow. Yet there are many who always make use of their dreams, and history, both secular and religious, is not without records of benefit, of warning, of instruction from the dream. The well-known case of Pharaoh's dream of lean and fat kine which enabled Joseph as interpreter to foresee and provide against a famine represents a class of dream not at all uncommon. But the utilitarian view is only one of many. The fanciful portion of dreams does not invalidate the position. Fancy is not peculiar to dreaming; it is also present in waking consciousness. In many people fancy is quite as usual and vivid as with any dreamer. And we know that children have a strong development of fancy. Its presence in dream simply means that the thinker, being liberated temporarily from the body and the set forms or grooves of the brain, expands that ordinary faculty. But passing beyond fancy we have the fact that dreams have prophecy of events not yet come. This could not be unless there exists the inner Hidden Self who sees plainly the future and the past in an ever present.

57. Mesmerism And The Higher Self -A Theosophical Article By William Q. Judge
the views expressed by the author of that work some years ago in Transactions ofthe London Lodge on the subject of the higher self, as may be william BREHON.
http://www.blavatsky.net/theosophy/judge/articles/mesmerism-and-the-higher-self.
MESMERISM AND THE HIGHER SELF
Recently a book on the subject of the "Rationale of Mesmerism" having been published in London, written by Mr. A. P. Sinnett, I read in it some astounding statements about the relation of the higher self to Mesmerism. He says that it is the higher self that acts in the case of those mesmerized subjects who show clairvoyance, clairaudience, and the like, of a high order. That is to say, the views expressed amount to the doctrine that pure spirit, which the Higher Self is, can be acted on and affected by the gross physical power of mesmerism. This idea seems to be quite contrary to all that we have read in Theosophical literature on the philosophy of man and his complex nature. For if there is anything clearly stated in that, it is that the higher self cannot be affected in this manner. I T is a part of the supreme spirit, and as such cannot be made to go and come at the beck of a mesmerizer. Mesmeric force is purely material, although of a finer sort of materiality than gas. It is secreted by the physical body in conjunction with the astral man within, and has not a particle of spirituality about it further than that spirit is immanent in the whole universe. And when it is brought to bear on the willing or unwilling subject, the portion of the nature of the latter which is waked up, or rather separated from the rest, is the astral man. Clairvoyance and similar phenomena are explicable by the knowledge of the inner man, and, that being so, it is straining a point and degrading a great idea to say the higher self is involved. For the inner astral man has the real organs which partially function through the one we know. The real eye and ear are there. So what happens in mesmeric trance is that the outer eye and ear are paralyzed for the time, and the brain is made to report what is seen and heard by the inner senses.

William W. Brown William Wells Brown was born on this date in 1814. He was an African-American antislavery lecturer; groundbreaking novelist, playwright, and historian.
Brown was born on a plantation outside Lexington, Kentucky, to a white father and a slave mother. Brown became free on New Year's Day, 1834, when he was able to slip away from his owners' steamboat while it was docked in Cincinnati, Ohio. Next, Brown moved to Buffalo, New York, and spent nine years there working simultaneously as a steam boatman on Lake Erie and as a conductor for the Underground Railroad.
In 1843 Brown began lecturing on his experiences in slavery for the Western New York Anti-Slavery Society, one of many American abolitionist groups. Brown eventually also became a lecturer on behalf of women's rights and temperance, but it was as a fugitive slave speaking on the evils of slavery that he was best known. In 1847, Brown wrote the Narrative of William W. Brown, a Fugitive Slave, which went through four American and five British editions in its first three years after publication. Between 1849 and 1854 he gave more than a thousand speeches in Europe and America and wrote two books. Three Years in Europe; or, Places I Have Seen and People I Have Met and Clotel, or, the President's Daughter: A Narrative of Slave Life in the United States.

The Writings of William Carlos Williams
Publicity for the Self
Daniel Morris
The Writings of William Carlos Williams "is lucidly written and coherently argued. Learned, insightful, and readable, the book will provide an important perspective on Williams's evolving career and indeed the conditions in American culture in which modernism arose. Morris places Williams in the context of humanistic criticism and gives Williams's fictions a modernist perspective. His book on Williams is an important contribution to understanding that figure both as a product of his culture and as a unique voice."Daniel R. Schwarz In The Writings of William Carlos Williams, Daniel Morris examines the previously neglected fiction written throughout Williams's career to explore the extreme shift in his poetry from the impersonal early lyrics to Paterson, the ultimate celebration of the poet as modernist cultural hero. With close textual analyses of Williams's writing in a variety of genres, including lyrics, short stories, novels, essays, and his epic poem, Morris demonstrates that Williams consciously shaped his identity as a public writer able to provide an unacknowledged social group with the dignity of appearance in distinguished classes of representation such as the modern poem. By examining the style of William's writing, as well as the narrative constructions of his persona as a capable manager of American technologies, medical sciences, economic practices, and language resources, Morris shows how Williams, over a thirty-year period, created a metanarrative that presented him as a figure situated between "elite" and "popular" forms of American culture. He also analyzes reviews of Williams's books that appeared with frequency in

Mark Twain and William James
Crafting a Free Self
Jason Gary Horn
Mark Twain and William James is very clearly, engagingly written with an air of both freshness and pointedness. Horn is masterful at historicizing Twain's ideas, at re-creating the concreteness, plane of abstraction, orderliness, and degree of subtlety at which Twain and James grappled with ideas during the later nineteenth century. Before now, nobody has linked Twain and James in more than a few generalizing sentences." Louis J. Budd The first documented meeting between Mark Twain and William James took place while both vacationed with their families in Florence, Italy, in 1892. "I have seen him a couple of times," James wrote home to Josiah Royce, "a fine, soft, fibred little fellow with the perversest twang and drawl, but very human and good. One might grow very fond of him," he confessed, "and wish he'd come and live in Cambridge." In Mark Twain and William James, Jason Gary Horn offers the first thorough investigation of the relationship between Mark Twain and William James, emphasizing Twain's friendship with James beyond their shared intellectual interests. James, in fact, provides the cultural mirror most capable of reflecting Twain's own shifting thought and illuminating his often vaguely defined philosophical observations. Focusing on the experience of freedom embodied in three Twain texts
