Each month we take time to thank two of our good readers of Good Mountain Press Digest, books and reviews. Here's our two worthy Honored Readers for this month. One of their names will be in the TO: address line of your email Digest notification. Our Honored Readers for June are:
May has turned out to be the busiest month of the year so far! Got an offshore consulting contract
doing tech writing job. It's over now, but I was on a dynamically positioned drilling rig in 6800
feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico. That job's thankfully over. As soon as I started the job,
Doyle and his new bride Norma came to town and were staying in their motorhome a few miles
away from us. So we were socializing with them in between my crunching all day at the
keyboard. whew!
This month has been cool and dry, a great time for working in the yard. Our grandson Chris came over and helped add dirt to the gardens around the edge of Timberlane. Our new Celeste fig tree
got an honored spot in the southeast corner where when its southern branches extend out they
will come to rest on the fence to support the tree. (Our previous two fig trees fell over due to the
southern branches imbalance that develops over time.)
Del has been home between consulting jobs to assist with the gardens as well as taking her share
of duties at the Planning Workstation (our hammock). Here's the result of one of my recent work
shifts at the Planning Workstation. While Doyle and his new bride were in town, I called Judy
Wood at WWOZ and asked her to play a song for the newlyweds. Judy chose the following song,
without asking or telling me, "At the Foot of Canal St." by John Boutte. That was so appropriate
because I'd told Norma about that very song the night before when we were together in Bobby
Jeaux's Kitchen for dinner. I explained that "foot of Canal St." meant the Canal Street Cemetary
area, what Krauss was ( a downtown department store), etc. Now she was hearing it and the DJ
(Judy) came on and said, "that last song was for the newlyweds Norma and Doyle Henderson."
Doyle was flabbergasted, Norma told us the next morning! So was I! How did Judy know? How
did I know to tell Norma last night? Must have been those hours I spent planning.
We were invited to Bill Stulb's Oakridge block party off Metairie Road, and we took
Doyle and Norma with us. We dug potatoes and picked green beans in my dad's garden and I
came home and cooked them. Called Doyle and said, "Remember all the times we were emailing
between New Orleans and Big Bear, how we talked about being neighbors chatting at the cyber-fence? And how I'd bring you food I'd just cooked to the cyber-fence? Well, the cyber-fence is
close enough for you to have some real food. We're bringing supper over to you tonight." And
we enjoyed the green beans and potatoes over rice, fixed just like my beloved mother used to fix
when I was a kid.
On another night Del and I went with them to Sal's Seafood on Barataria Boulevard in
Marrero. This was a place that Doyle Henderson and his bride Norma found. When you sit down,
they cover the table with newspaper, and then they pile 20 lbs of bright red boiled crawfish in the
middle for starters. They discovered this place and were delighted to show it to us. Afterwards
we drove them to the French Quarter, had cafe au lait and beignets [ban -yays] at Cafe du Monde,
walked down Bourbon Street, peeked in on Preservation Hall to see the Jazz Band playing to a
full house of foot stomping and clapping jazz fans. We drove out to Lake Pontchartrain and
drove along the night-time Lakeshore drive, through City Park and the large spreading 300 year
old oak trees, down St. Charles Ave past glittering leaded glass doors of the mansions along the
streetcar line. Drove around to show them where the first Doyletics
Conference will be. They fell in love with this wonderful city of New Orleans.
I came back from my final trip to the offshore oil rig with enough information to
complete the procedure project and we took off for a Mother's Day trip to Alexandria, complete
with a grand-daughter's baseball game, a grandson's birthday party, a large crawfish boil, and a
Mother's Day dinner on Sunday in honor of Del. In previous years, we've honored our mothers
on Mother's Day - this was the first year where Del's three children came together to honor Del.
No sooner had the Hendersons moved on in their motorhome, did we get notice that
Georgia and Bob were finally coming to town from Phoenix for a week and we were going to bepart of the fun. But first we had a weekend at Gulf Shores for just me and Del planned. We
sunned and swam in the Gulf of Mexico and mostly relaxed. Bought a week in a new
Coopershare Resort a few steps in the white beach sand away from the water's edge.
Georgia arrived first and she and I had dinner at Midi - the Provencal restaurant in the Le
Meridien Hotel downtown. Then we met their Phoenix area friends, Don and Denise, and the six
of us invaded Sal's for crawfish, shrimp, crabs, corn-on-the-cob, sweet potato pie and bread
pudding. Before they left town we served them a mandala salad and redfish courtboullion in
Bobby Jeaux's Kitchen topped off by a toast with Cherry Bounce made on the premises.
Del and I attended our Anam Cara meeting which we began by my reading "A Friendship
Blessing." ('anam cara' is Celtic for 'soul friend') I'd like to close this month's "On A Personal
Note" by sharing with you, dear Reader, that wonderful blessing by John O'Donohue from his
book "Anam Cara" (reviewed this month, see below):
May you be blessed with good friends.
May you learn to be a good friend to yourself.
May you be able to journey to that place in your soul where
there is great love, warmth, feeling, and forgiveness.
May this change you.
May it transfigure that which is negative, distant, or cold in you.
May you be brought in to the real passion, kinship, and
affinity of belonging.
May you treasure your friends.
May you be good to them and may you be there for them; may they bring you
all the blessings, challenges, truth, and light that you need
for your journey.
May you never be isolated.
May you always be in the gentle nest of belonging with your
Important Message to All Those Who Have Changed their Email Address Recently
Here's the Sting: You will NOT receive a Monthly Reminder unless you have Re-subscribed under your new address to DIGESTWORLD. (If you've already receiving DIGESTWORLD Reminders, ignore this message.)
Yes, this message does no good to those who changed their email address without notifying me — but it can alert those of you who are going to change your address.

EASE OF VIEWING NOTES [INCREASE FONT SIZE or ZOOM for Easy Reading]:
FONT SIZE for REVIEWS:
NOTE: For IE9 Browsers, DIGESTWORLD is best viewed at 100% Zoom using OPTIONS: Page, Text Size, Larger
The font size of new reviews has been increased to make reading easier. In IE7&8, you may wish to use 90% ZOOM if the text seems a bit large. (Older reviews will be upgraded as time permits.) In IE9, DIGESTWORLD Photos may overlap, if so, try the Larger TEXT SIZE, a new feature in IE9, which should have been standard in earlier versions.
PHOTO DESCRIPTIONS (Cursor Flyover Problems on some Browsers):
If you have been enjoying the photos in DIGESTWORLD, but have wondered who or what you were looking at, in Internet Explorer simply let your cursor fall stationary over the photo and the photo's description will appear. If your Mozilla Firefox or Netscape 7 browser doesn't provide this handy automatic display, you will need to Right Click on the image and Select the Properties box to view the description. We spend a lot of time providing these descriptions and hope you will read them.
For Firefox browsers here is a simple procedure for viewing DIGESTWORLD which will let you view descriptions by simply placing cursor over the photo. Note: If you did not choose the Open Link in IE Tab option when you installed Firefox, you will need to install the add-in now.
Open the DIGESTWORLD Reminder email while in Firefox.
Right click the link to DIGESTWORLD.
From the drop down menu choose Open Link in IE Tab.
Firefox will open the newsletter in an IE tab and the
photo captions will appear when you let your cursor rest
on the photo. This allows you to have a feature of IE while using
Firefox.
MAC users will be able to view captions if they use Firefox, but not if they use Safari. This is according a Good Reader who values the captions.
EASE OF READING TEXT:
We strive to make DIGESTWORLD issues viewable in all browsers and window sizes. Internet Explorer 9 has finally separated TEXT or FONT SIZE from the ZOOM function! With
Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), the ZOOM function was fixed to keep text on screen as you ZOOM to larger sizes. That's good news as my ARJ1 Reviews were never upgraded to fix this problem and now that is not necessary. If you put things off long enough, you don't have to do them, my German professor told me.
If some of the photos overlap in your browser try setting your text to a larger size. We use "Larger" setting in IE6 browser, and note that smaller sizes of text in some window sizes cause photos and text to overlap. In IE7/8, you can use CTRL+ to increase font size and CTRL- to decrease it using ZOOM function. If you use IE7's ZOOM function and have problems viewing a page, return temporarily to 100% and problem will disappear. Many of the alignment problems for ZOOM'ed pages have been fixed in IE8/9.
Thanks to all of you who have made this site a success. We have had over 20,000 Visitors to the
Doyletics Website since its inception in June, 2000, but we need your help to continue to grow.
If you haven't yet made a connection to the Doyletics website from your own website and would
like to, there's instructions on how to do it in Section 9, Closing Notes below.
If you haven't read the Counselor's Corner lately, there is some new material at the top of the
page called: Questions from a Counselor: What if Feelings Don't Clear During a Trace?
The following was from a dialogue with a counselor who has had great success with the
speed trace but had two questions about clients who seemed to go back to before conception
while doing traces. In this conversation I develop further my concept that only two requirements
are necessary to do a successful speed trace and relate them to the two requirements necessary for
an automobile to start. Read it all at:
Thanks to the efforts of our "Crocodile Samdi" down under (Sam DiChiera), the Website
Cobbling Calebrese and Master Vintner, we now have a Real Player video of the Second Lorena
Speed Trace of her Roller Coaster fear doyles. That will require a 5 Mb download of Real Player
if you don't already have it set up plus a 8.9 Mbyte of the full speed trace. For a glimpse of the
beginning of the trace, we have an MPEG clip of a portion of the same Speed Trace, and it
doesn't require a special player to view. The Live Speed Trace with Lorena Castro was done at El
Paso Community College on June 19, 2000. Special thanks also go to Prof. Roméo Di Benedetto
and Daniel Matt (Director of the Center for Instructional Television, EPCC) for permission to
show this clip on Doyletic.com. The Mplayer file is 1.6 Mbytes long so plan for it to take about 4
mins. on a 57K modem to load. Once it loads you can save it locally to view multiple times. The
Real Player file is 8.9 Mb and will take about 15 mins. to load before viewing and you won't be
able to save the file for later viewing. Check out the Preview at this page:

We've added several of the previous Digests on-line with the goal of eventually having all Digest
available to read. This will be useful to new Subscribers to the Digest who wish to read what

The Good Mountain Press Monthly Digest of News & Reviews
For your reading pleasure here is a list of those Digests that are available on-line, as of this time:
Usually short, these are reviews of books that I read prior to 1987. New reviews will be added each month and I will keep you informed as they are via this Digest. The initial set has been completely loaded now, so if you tried earlier and got nothing, they’re all on-line now. There are reviews of The Clan of the Cave Bear, Illusions, Frogs into Princes, Laws of Form, and Rhythms of Vision among other titles. These are the books that I read as I began my journey of discovery back in the 1970's. You may join me on that journey by reading these reviews as they are published.
Some of you may have bought into various aspects of Logical Positivism or Existentialism
without being aware of it - something that is easy to do in the materialistically minded world in
which we live on the brink of the Third Millennium. Therefore you would be well served to read
this passage from the Introduction:
[page 12-13] In the realm of thought, two modern philosophies, Logical
Positivism and Existentialism, both bear witness to the influence of
materialism. Logical Positivism carries Nominalism to its extreme conclusion,
while Existentialism shows the bewilderment of being aware of the
inadequacy of a materialistic philosophy to explain the self-evident facts of
man's being, without having the understanding of spiritual reality which
would provide the true explanation of them.
In this book, O'Donohue leads us to a personal experience of Celtic wisdom and understanding.
Anam Cara means "soul friend" and by the end of this book, you will understood what that
means and feel like you have found one in John O'Donohue. He writes with lyrical flights of
fancy that are insightful and soul-feeling.
[page 22] When you find the person you love, an act of ancient recognition
brings you together It is as if millions of years before the silence of nature
broke, your lover's clay and your clay lay side by side.
I hear often from my Good Readers that they have bought books after reading my book reviews.
Keep reading, folks! As I like to remind you, to obtain more information on what's in these
books, buy and read the books — for less information, read the reviews.
The book will eventually be available in E-book, hardback, or paperback form. There is also a
Glassbooks version in the offing. You will be able to order a copy at B. Dalton, Walden, Barnes
& Noble, Borders or amazon.com, but it may take up to six months to get it into Books in Print.
The best source in the meantime is to order your copies from the Xlibris website above.

My reviews are not intended to replace the purchasing and reading of the reviewed books, but rather to supplant a previous reading or to spur a new reading of your own copy. What I endeavor to do in most of my reviews is to impart a sufficient amount of information to get the reader comfortable
with the book so that they will want to read it for themselves. My Rudolf Steiner reviews are more detailed and my intention is bring his work to a new century of readers by converting his amazing insights into modern language and concepts.
