Author Says People Limit Own Reality
By JERRY MARR
Kansan Reviewer
The Crack In The Cosmie Egg,
Challenging the Mind of Mind and
Racing Against Joseph Chase
"There was a child went forth every day
And the first object he looked upon, that
chose, would be the
And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day.
Or for many years or stretching cycles of years."
—Walt Whitman (from the introduction)
A real world exists for every human body, and it is the individual's notions of what is possible and what isn't. Experiences of life and predictions of life mark off these limits, and each of us remains within them. This experience with each Chinese Pearce termed our "osmic egg" the total sum of our notions about the world.
But, how accurate is an individual or cultural construct or reality? Is it a fair picture of what is really "out there?" Or have we too severely limited our perception? Powers say emphatically, yes, we need to be more precise in assessing abilities and capacity for original thought.
"The Crack In The Cosmic Egg" is at once an attack on the purely logical, objective means of determining reality and a more literal means of meaning in a dinary reality, through non-optical means.
The crack, says Pearce, is a mode of thinking, at all times imaginative and truthful, but not necessarily logical within the realm of scientific inquiry. Our perception of it is learned. Only when a crack occurs in our cosmic shells can we glimpse of other ways to experience reality.
For example, Pearce describes an experience he encountered as a young man, as the crack in his cosmic egg. At one instant in time he understood himself to be immune
to pain. No logical reason could be given for this knowledge, he simply knew it to be true. He proceeded to demonstrate his condition to witnesses by mashing the glowing tips of cigarettes against his eyelids, cheeks, and palms. To the consternation of his com- panies, he was told that even a blister. Shortly, this state of realty passed and he was again subject to pain.
The author also cites as examples of this autistic type of thinking major scientific discoveries in history. Breakthroughs often came through non-ordinary real states, such as a vision or a dream no model could compare to in the old cosmic reality. For this reason they first appeared absurd or meaningless, as might an original work of art. But, from the time they were introduced, integration took place by the ordinary process of logical scrutiny. The end result in each case was a new cosmic
"A change of world view," Pearce states,
"can change the world viewed."
Pearce's work has given us a new model with which to diagnose the condition of man, with which to make it possible to create creative thinking. To make it more non-logical, autistic thinking, he maintains, is to crack the cosmic egg and allow new perceptions of reality to enter. The result is a new world to
World of 'Ruling Class' Wonderland of O'Toole
But, the book does not give step by step instructions how to practice this autistic thinking. Herein lies its excitement and stimulation. Non-logical thinking is necessarily a subjective process. To objectify it by laying down ground rules is to lose it entirely. The reader himself must have a set of rules of mind, whether or not the reader accepts or rejects Pearce's ideas, he is given a fascinating presentation and stimulating exercise in thought. This alone makes the book well worth the reading.
By JIM EATON
Kansan Reviewer
Peter O'Toole is in Wonderland; the youngest son of the 13th Earl is transformed from a harmless mental patient who believes he is the Christ, God of love, to an adult man of the dignity of the defunct British Empire, a Peer of the House of Lords.
Through the rest of the movie he moves through a magnificent performance in an incredible odyssey from recognized madness through normality on to unrecognized madness—but in the world of this film, what you can get away with is all right. The movie's plot is preformed sanity of a commendable order. O'Toole plays Jack, the 14th Earl of Gurney (the family name), who denies he is anyone but—as he calls himself—the Big One. "Just call me J.C." he tells his household, which includes William Mervyn Kirk and his brother, Luther. Like O'Toole, both Mervyn and Love bring off excellent performance performances.
His uncle, Sir Charles, schemes to get Jack's estate away from him, and failing that, to get him married, an heir produced, and Jack committed back into the积屋
From this the film moves through incredible transmogrifications throughout which Tole maintains a running babylon. "I'll be a baby," she says, as "for this bread I am about to eat, may I make Myself truly thankful," breaking suddenly into rag-time songs and soft-sole
The change is often catholic; because of British tradition and respect, people listen to the (mad) earl's admonitions; they sing and dance along with him when he sings the "Varsity Raq." Some believe that he can work miracles.
But its not good enough to frivolously bring out the potential for joy and love in life. It doesn't have a place to grow.
The movie makes an already belarbed point—that extremes in loving feelings are not tolerated by Western society, but extremes in snobbery, in hate, in looking down your nose at someone is often considered—at least by cynics—as normal, or at least acceptable. This could mean that the movie made so slithering smoothly, that how it is said more than makes up for the triteness of the message.
The God of Love meets the God of High Voltage. The Electric Messiah is a wraithful rascal, an old madman who is introduced to O'Toole as shock-therapy. They have a monumental confrontation. I said the film had some incredible moments before, but it doesn't move until yet. One of this lack starts to move towards a balance of the two extremes.
HEW Team Interviewing
The two-man investigation team from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare began random interviews with members of the University community Monday afternoon and will continue their interviews through Thursday.
Shirley Gilham, director of the Office of Affirmative Action, said the team was based on of her office but that she did not know of the interviews and was being requested during the interviews.
"These interviews are confidential."
"Olum said, 'All we do is arrange the"
"interview.'
Gilham said that the committee would would intervene into view Fridays, with a meeting with Chris Gillham on Monday.
Unfortunately, he shoots right past it into the opposite extreme. The movie now becomes as macabre and disturbingly weired, as a friend of mine put it, as it was before: the film begins to ooze out of the film, mostly by means of visual techniques. The attitudes of the people around Jack also become more disturbing; as he becomes more morbid, by him and agrees with him more. The film on a note of him quickly.
Alastair Sim gives an excellent performance as the family minister. The film was directed by Peter Medec, with screenplay by Mike Mills and directed 2 hours and 40 minutes but you won't bored; you may get depressed, but you'll think it was a fine show.
It's hard not to compare the O'Tole in "The Ruling Class" to the O'Tole in "Lawrence of Arabia." Both performances are based on an image in an almanac that gives them a gentle, "Ruling Class" gives O'Tole a much greater latitude of characterization to portray, though, and the end product is often praised by academy award for this film. He should get it.
