E1. Christmas gnomes are connected with Christmas which is right after the darkest days of the year, a kind of new beginning that is so early that reliugion is the first one to grasp it, bringing hope of a better future. The darkest time of the year is hard to bear for most, and so the lighter days in the beginning of January are a relief for most. The tough times before Christmas demand a different way of doing, kind of softening, taking time for free time and for the comfort of feelings and for warmth, learning winter time skills too, and such is seen as the task of Christmas gnome like life before Christmas.
E2. "Find religion from your heart
Come to think of it, the wonder os existing, of sensing, of doing practical things in the world, of having social encounters especially with animals, it is something beyond our schooled ways of thinking, we cannot build such, we are a living miracle, so finely structured that our schooled thoughts fail to grasp it at all and we can just feel the contact with life with its' multitude of shades of natural observations of what life is like, how we and the world function. Miracle.
...
Do not follow rigid religious guidelines, instead make a healthy version of them and follow that, that one you will find in your own heart if you use just your highest wisdom in thinking and feeling what is healthy and what is not."

E3. Highly skilled means that such area of life goes easily, almost effortelssly. One achieves much and does things with good quality. And for it to make sense from the point of view of life, also the way of doing, motivation etc ought to be such that they offer healthy kind of good life. Quite often people interested in developing skills and talents have some such features already as young, but more typical it is when one has got years of practice, and so many of the elderly are very much such. For such people to find a place for themselves in the societya nd in the working life, it is good if others consider it positive that someone offers a lot, kind of as gifts, and so with the extremely skilled, religion and the Santa Claus is a kind of saviour for their social life and for their place in the society, which of course is very benefical for the society, lifts it's skills level aa lot.
E4. The elderly have typically found good choices in life, such that gets life more easy going and more successfull, while some other questions they have just found out that it is better to mostly bypass them, those were not their speciality, not their type of life, maybe not inside their skills. So they are mostly content with quite home bound life in chores that they like and are skilled in with tens of years of experience. And so "a gnome" can be a way of referring to an elderly person.
E5. People who tend to disturb the lives of others, often think that those who behave in a way well fit into the society behave "too gnome like", while others tend to call it just wise, life with some wisdom of life. Church supports civiliced wisdom and ways of living peacefully in a society and such is also taught to kids, so that gnome like life may be characteristec of younger people too.
E6. Wisdom of life makes life easier and more rewarding, even though not always without some toughness too, since healthy spirit is important for good life. Music that one likes, for example in the radio, teaches wisdom of life and makes one more intelligent, and so it may bring a gnome likecharacteristic to life.
E7. If god created the world, the nature in it's original undisturbed form reflects god's wisdom of god's creation work. It is the ideal for human functioning too, and a contact with nature, like for example life with pets, may give us better life, more wisdom of life and make us wise more widely.
E8. The church also takes care of the ill, who often need somehow softer, warmer, more homebound life with a take-it-easy attitude and something comfortable to do which might be gnome like things, since nature too is healthy and practical chores make one feel that one does something.

E9. 15th of September 2020 High skill is usually based on getting something right in a finely tuned way, and so it often demands some peace or benefits from peace. Such peace gives room to the things themselves so that one can get them right in a good quality way. Then it also teaches some such things for other skills too: how to benefit from peaceful circumstancies, and so a skilled person can sometimes offer fine views to others too, in other skills than one's own expertice.
E10. There is in the human nature a naturaö healthy ages old way to live a healthy kind of life and healthy spirit is important in it. From natural things in life, kind of basic life but a healthy kind of version/side of it and with wisdom and wisdom of life, teaches one how to follow feelings so that one's attention gets wider and more beautiful the landscaope around and it is natural so to follow feelings in a positive way, like music teaches one to do. And so one can for a while live in a panorama of music, in a panorama of life, and grow so in wisdom and in skills for life. But it is not always happy, not always a thing to reach for, since there are many kinds of feelings, also to big things in life and those things are not all happy. On the other hand, it is a way of learning wisdom from one's experiences of life, a way which issupported by basci skills and healthy kind of life generally, especially sports that one likes and civiliced wisdom, the possibilities the society gives for good life in the society.
E11. 20th of September 2020 Maybe a gnome too could learn this way:
"Easy quick school for animals, especially pets and birds
Animals which associate closely with humans, especially pets, ofr example dogs, sometimes ask if there could be a school for animals too. I have written advices about learning common sense like objective thinking and about fitting into the society, so here is my version of a kind of school for animals:
1) Thinking: use a landscape like view
that observes structures. Good practise for this is looking at familiar
scenes and landscapes with trees and some life in them. Trees and
nature make observation ability better and join the sense of sight
topgether with the sense of atmospheres, which is also good for
thinking. http://quickerlearning.blogspot.com
For teaching this to a dog that is interested in learning it, go outdoors to some peaceful enough place where there are trees but not overly amess. Do not strand face to face by your pet but instead side by sode so that it looks at the same landscape as you, and so you can look at it so that it sees it the same way and then you can walk to a bush, tree, street's side lawn etc like observed firstm, and that's it.
2) Fitting into the society: The advice "Live and let others live!" is good for this. Think of each person and each group sovereign as the trunk and branches of a tree in a park. It does not mess with the branches of other trees and those too leave it alone, to freely and happily live it's own life. Good will toward others is a good advice here. https://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2012/10/live-and-let-others-live.html
Another piece of advice is for all to work for better life in a better living environment, like work, hobbies, friends, caring for the environment, making the society good to live in. https://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2013/04/rationally-grounded-moral.html
3) Wisdom of life and healthy ways of living you can partly learn from how tree branmches curve topward light and what is their atmosphere, the mood it seems to refer to and the kind of life, and partly from sport and healthy kind of life on all areas of life.
* * *
There are also some other things that have often come to my mind when thinking of a school for animals, especially for pets and birds, maybe for mice too.
4) About teaching an animal to read there is a video about reading Finnish language at https://villakoirabanjo.blogspot.com/2020/01/opeta-elaimesi-lukemaan-nain.html , but for it one must first understand spoken language, which often goes by associating with humans and paying attention to the situations and tones of voice, and later by remembering also the atmospheres of the spoken language. Finnish language is written like it is pronouced, but there are some differencies between literature's language and the words of spoken language.
5) The square looks of houses etc are a
consequence of it being so easy to place two or more parts next to each
other tightly and so that one can choose from nay options, what to place
so. So one can build shelter from weathers and from dangers and use
materials economically. Such houses also offer fiar chances for
different types i´of individuals and a possibility for privacy. The
square looks of houses are not good for intelligence and quality of
life. For them it is good to look at trees outside the window. If life
indoors feels tough, do not attach yourself to build things but instead
only to the nature outside the window and to outdoors at large.
"
E12. 21th of September 2020 One gets influencies from what one does to the following things that one does, and so wise choices create more wise life and rotten or low-level choices make the following things quite impossible if they are not low-level too. Engineering is such: not so good quality thinking, likewise idiotic opinions and keeping company to or discussing with people who value people interested in engineering or the like, since such makes all views kind of mechanical, not so wise, and so one cannot understand the natural language of insight etc, of natural ways of doing and wise landscape like views that observe also feelings and atmospheres. Sports, nature, arts, religion, holiday with wise things of interest, music and following feelings & civiliced wisdom, also company of the elderly and wise books to read, help to correct the skill level back to wise and skilled. Here it matters a lot that one could keep things so well understood that sports are a part of life, things not too cumbersome and vague, and so one's quality of life would be better, one much happier and things done with a healthy spirit.
E13. 22th of September 2020 Talk to your pet profoundly about life and wisdom of life. It can understand a lot and so you build a good relationship to it.
E14. 28th of September 2020 If things are rotten in your enviroenment, it is often a question of you not fitting that place or activity, especially not fitting to the people there, maybe their skill level, values, characyer etc. Then things getting well is often a question of you choosing things very much according to your dreams, even extremely much, and using very good quality in them like is fitted for dreams, and helping others somewhat on the way, since they are not always perfect, but doing it so that things do not get rotten, i.e. use healthy spirit and civiliced wisdom. (If it stillis problematic, pay attention to having a different social group because of dfífferent profession or the like, and not sharing everything if the others are not likely to support. Often problems arise when you are too close socially instead of just civiliced distance with civiliced wisdom helping. You also ought to choose your own dreams and not from what others have chosen.)
E15. 29th of September 2020 Oh, do some want to know how to live a gnome like life in order tyo know how to live in a way fitted into the society? But those two are not the same. Gnomes are for the time before Christmas when it is very dark, it is dark when people go to work or school in the morning, and except the youngest kids, it is dark when they get to go home in the afternoon, and such life is hard because it feels as if there were no free time. So one needs a softening and the gnome soffer such. One also needs ghealthy action and the gnomes offer such too. But when it is not so dark mostly only the ill or somehow burdened need such softening. The good way to live in a way fitted into a society is to be healthily sporty and follow healthy natural ages odl ways of living plus civiliced wisdom. So it isn't gnome like in the same sense but it may of course include life accoring to feelings and a good atmospohere.
E16. 30th of September 2020 Boys and men being malicious toward girls and women is at least partly a question of thinking that boys and men are forced to get themselves killed in a war while women and girls not. But that is not quite so, since the benefit for a country of men going to war is to defend the country, to defend the good sides of it's way of life, circumstancies, values, for of government, skill level etc. And that in practice means that they have to have a some kind of army that is alive. A man getting killed in the war is no longer useful to one's country, so ´getting killed is not at all the idea of having an army. There are several ways of avoiding people getting killed. One is to avoid war but not at all costs. Another is to have so much skills that one does not automatically get killed, and here one must remember that you must invest on the skills of your own country instead of sticking to the skills levels of other countries, since those have different strenghts to help them. And you can fiught milder, not at all costs but instead in wise ways that respoect values and that safeguard against betrayals, traps, lies etc. So an army ought not be a question of getting killed, there is just the danger of dying and that is why one should count on skills and on the strenghts learned from civilian life, and not do stupid deeds. When kids are young, they rae typically asked if they would like to go to the military service when they are young adults, and typically boys always answer that they want to go to the army while girls say that they do not want since it is planned just for boys, but maybe they too want to keep such option available. So as older they are just asked, do you still want to go to the military service, have ýou so decided? It is important to have skills for life, but in a society that means also that those with skills have to take care of such things for the whole country, like is wise. But military matters interest just about all, so all have some kind of opinions and tactis an´bout them, but the opinions differ and so differ the tactics too, and so men and women choose different roads in life even though they all need to take care of the military things too, but being commanded by young boys isn't the way for a country to defend well.
E17. 4th of October 2020 Oh, one reasons for me writing about Christmas gnomes is that I have now for some seven years lived in an apartment number 24, and 24th of December is Christmas Eve when Finns celebrate Christmas among other things by giving presents.
E18. 5th of October 2020 I have now lived 11 years in Savonlinna, which is a countryside town in Savo in eastern Finland, and is famous for it's summer time opera festival in a medieval castle in the center of the town, and for the vast lake and forest district Saimaa around which has lots of summer cottages. So it is kind of practical life with arts and nature and some religion too. As I moved to Savonlinna, I had had a way of life and wisdom of life that brought happy life in such things, but as I have lived in Savonlinna, my life has been mostly centered in writing and I haven't been so happy. But today I tried to find that perspective of happy life, even though I have lately been stuck and stupid, but I gave it a try anyway and oproduced these two pieces:
F, D, very quick E, long A
D, very quick E, F, quick D, long A
But I do not know if it suits other places, even though it might,since Savonlinna is a tourist town. But anyway it is only about searching for that perspective of happiness, not about happiness itself.
E19. 9th of November 2020 "Saturday, March 24, 2012 A theoretical view of how fact language should be like music
Here is my view on how to develop one's way of writing toward musical
language that is at the same time best kind of informative fact
language. Maybe it could offer a dream to develop towards for many who
are interested in writing?
Fact lanaguage and thoughts describe the structures of the world,
which we observe via our experience and for which feelings give
emphazis according to their importancies and their areas of influence.
Feelings touch the level of our life in the living, giving motivation
for action and bringing content to life. From the point of view of
feelings the most impressive are the major features about what life is
like to live and what the world is like from the point of view of
living.
Objectivity comes via faithfully describing perceptions and via
arranging them to a seen structured landscape, to which atmosphere
impressions give a philosophical view which tells what the phenomena
in the landscape mean to life. Perceptions become surer via
sensitively, faithfully to the level of sensory impressions and
sensations describing all the sides of one's perceptions.
Well working ways of doing and well working routes flow easily: they
have the best enthralling easy-going style.
This way best fact language's, and even fiction's, most successful
part are like music - some kind of experienced strongly touching
original basic form of music to which the ability of modern music to
touch the hearer still relies on."

( ( E20. School tends to squeeze pupils to too little space, but last spring tere was an epidemy
(coronavirus is said to kill people by slime in the breathing tunnel, but such happens when one has too cool clothes, so one might try a very warm thick woolen blanket or similar very warm bird feather filkled or the like winter blanket, the whole person, also hands, under the bölanket, but head outside it, and no holes that would let cool air in)
and so kids and teenagers had school via computers from home and so they could study more in their ownb rythms and more in their own ways, and so this autumn there maybe was more room for stuidying according to one's own riuthms and ways and so when schools started in August this yearf ior the first time afer I started school there did not come a feeling of pupils being overly squeezed. ) )
( ( E21. Feelings elp to answer needs and such is benefical for full functuioning, but what needs does food serve? If one for example eats fruits or fresh vegetables, the right amount is indicated by what tastes good and leaves one refreshed and with energy. It is similarly wuith other foods: general guidelines, see A64., and the excat foods and excat amounts according to what feels good and keaves one's body and mood well as long as the food affects. If one needs overly much food, one has typically neglected some part of healthy natural ages old weays of living, for example good moral that makes more room for life for oneself and others, for the wide world, and so one tries to compensate such lack by eating more. If one has some problem, tht is often like work to do: you need energy andf skills for that, so eat good food and have arts and civiliced wisdom and the like as interests right after eating, and so you grow in capacity and can handle things for which you do not have enough skills or not a calm(?) enoiugh character. ) )
E22. 27th of November 2020 My paradise theory http://2013paradise.blogspot.com
( ( E23. 31th of October 2020 Come to think of it, quite many, even very many people spend lot of their own choices into making life softer or easier instead of to things they love and that give them good life in a healthy way. One reason is that many have not noticed the need of others to soften to be so high like with serious disease, so that one is kind of round and food centered, instead of sporty and full of energy and good will. And so they try top get rid of that kind of round softening feature overwhelming them, and kind of cut it away from others too, and so cause the troubles of others. I have the impression that partly because of this many people do not have much room for their real selves, for what they really want in life. But that does not need to be so. Civiliced wisdom offers wisdom of life with which to handle mnany things in life and do well in life. But often people are not so in tune with it, but do somethings ocial instead. But if one would think of oneself and of the world, of what the world is like to live in, one could aim at the good of the world and that is in tune with civiliced wisdom, and so if one unifies that with one's wish for good life, one maybe could noc´tice where good life is needed and where it overrules some rigid guideluines that are not wise enough, and so one could have good life and be in tune with working life and the organiced society, so that one would gain space and be allowed a lot, and so have a good life and be a kind of model for others who wish the same. ) )
E24. 17th of November 2020 If there is a conflict of groups, one can caml it down by using a civiliced perspective via which it is easy to live, so that it is easy, kind of comffortable and natural, to choose in one's daily life, and use in it such a civiliced perspective that is healthy in spirit as the version that people and groups use, so that it works well and is a relief and pleasant and gets things well for all both in the short and in the long run. Civiliced values are a typical well working example of such.
E25. 20th of November 2020 If one thinks of what one wants and needs in life and how is it possible in one's situation of life, it does not carry as far as thinking at a general level, much like education brings general civiliced view of healthy ways of living and civiliced values, of what is good to have in life - kind of not stuck to the situation but instead picking always just the things that carry life well also in the long run, in all kinds of situations, just the essential things in that which means basic things in life like human nature teaches and wisdom about a good society to live in. So that one always has the beneficala ffect and grows in wisdom via that and ib happiness, but is free to use all kinds of situations like is best.
E26. When one is young, when one copies skills etc from others, one often does not know exactly what is the idea of the person in them, and what works out how, and so one uses a guess in the sphere of healthy ways of living and civiliced wisdom of one's own, as the ultimate truth about how the things ought to be, and so one copies that instead of detailedly from the other person, and so one gains the benefit of the civiliced wisdom and of healthy spirit and one's own personal view. So in a sense it isn't so much like just copying from the other. But as one gains more experience of life, one often learns to copy detailedly and so the quality of what one so learns gets lower. Also some tyr to learn to act and so they try to teach people to copy detailedly, which then does not suit anyone and brings conflicts and forced situations. So the right way to copy is like the young person who aims at the best answer instead of detailed copying.
E27. 21th of November 2020 Gnomes are not how I would describe the goal in ways of living and doing, sinbce gnomes emphasize softness and comfortability, which often leads to not having enough energy, not enough spirit, not enough courage and defences, not well along and maybe to o lazy and getting ill becauise of too much lazying. Instead one should aim at being activem sporty, courageous, spirited, well along in the idea of things, why they are done and why just so and how the society works and why just so and why are values valuable. So would life go easy, be happy and comfortable via more active life, more clear headed, more along with the idea in things and having defences ok.
E28. 23th of November 2020 If one aims at healthy ways of living with a sports hobby, one ought not take little singing birds as one's forefigure in them, maybe not other animals either, since singing birds mostly sit leisurely on a branch and are social, in the winter time they also keep themselves warm with food, so that they do not have so healthy ways of living as what would bring a good feeling and health for humans. Neither are they so sporty, but instead more home bound.
E29. 25th of November 2020 Watching sports of the tropics does not make me feel well and I get the feeling that the people in the pictures do not feel well either. Things natural in human nature like sports, beauty of nature, using the senses, etc ought to make one feel happy, fulfilled, easy in the heart, relaxed and relieved. I wonder if people in the tropics do not come home from work orstudies, eat a little, change clothes and go somewhere to run or play, to have a relieving sports hobby which offers fullfilling lifeso as to counteract the burdens of work or studies. One ought to have a natural inclination for moving. Maybe that demands cool, I do not know, but one ought to follow one's momentary feelings and common sense. I learned such moving when as a child I was somewhere walking with my mom and she said, let's run hurriedly there, a short distance, it was eager and a feeling of sports, yet short and not planned for. There is also a song about moving according a curly wind in a cool road with trees around. (1.12.2020 Obs. This video is not mine. It is from the video site www.youtube.com ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9uyAwNXw0U
E30. There is a Finnish saying that one does things "on the wing of others" which means that mainly the others are doing that but one went along with them and so got a chance to that for oneself too, so that one is in a sense in their shelter in getting possibility for such thing. Generally if one chooses oneself everything, that is somehow very basic, not complex, always only the same things, and so it is not as wise view as one would think. But if one instead goes along with others and they do something they like or need, one starts to wonder what one oneself would like to do, and so one refers to civiliced wisdom saying that all can freely choose their profession, a profession that they like, and where thye live, in what kind of culture and olace, what are their good sides, and so on, and so one is with a wide ladncape of professions with their good sides, different people, places and cultures all with their own good sides, and so one is cultivating much more good things if one does things "on the wing of others" and so there are also more possibilities open for oneself in the world, and maybe the environment works out better so too.
E31. 26th of November 2020 Sometimes the world seems to be full of evil and social life of attacking people, but often the situation isn't necessarily so bad. Instead many attacking kind want to be strong and survive well in life, maybe do well in something. But they often do not notice how all human such goals are, how many different such tactics there are and different skill levels with different looks, diffreren t values, different situations of life,different ages and experiences, different influancies from other cultures which all have different views on military circumstancies and of soldier like virtues. It is typical that when people do not like someone, they often try to get rid of such person and so they are evil toward him or her but at the same time they like others and are often wonderful civiliced wise persons toward them. Sp getting enough room to live in, not going too close to others if one does not sincerely like thme and want much such influencies to one's life, often cures such problems away. It is also typical that if someone is not liked, the others have somehow misestimated his/her style, for example considered soft looks because of illness or need to change profession to be the person's views on military tactics. So often doing motivatedly something quite common but valued like for example work or free time, brings looks that are easier to understand and so there is a clear place for such a person in the environement and so one gets along easier. Also so one is more concentrated on doing things on one's own and not in vaguely contacting others.
E32. 27th of November 2020 Maybe one could use this melody of mine to support world peace
E33. Gnome like characteristics in a way of life are especially much allowed and hoped for, since a gnome has a very positive view on working life, is eager to work and satisfied with one's work, and lives in a way well fitted into the society, both to the modern working life and to having healthy ways of living, a love of the nature and other good sides of traditional ways of living which give endurancy, health and happiness and fracturelessness which increases wisdom and wusdom of life. So gnome like characteristics are not too tale like and ought not be dropped away in the modern world. Each person has one's own likings and a gnome has learned how to find room for them in peace with the rest of the world. A gnome often arranges much of what one needs or wants by oneself and so is not so much a burden to others. A gnome supports the civiliced society, and so is a valuable individual to the modern society.
E34. Is gnome like life what you start to do, if you as younger had studies and work oriented life, but then stopped that and moved to another kind of place with more fractureless culture or somehow more gnome like, and then you did not have priofessional skills for that but wanted yto learn, so you started something in that direction and found chores for yourself and across time many useful things to do and content to life but not exactly a job?
E35. 28th of Navember 2020 In the deeds of the elderly, in the style of wild animals and sometrimes pets, and in the forms of traditional art, there are magnifient fractureless whole and things deeply according to the human nature, how things ought to be in life. Such skills are partly a consequence of having good basic skills like education aims at and civiliced wisdom, and then in addition one does things and learns along one's own interest but seen in the light of civiliced wisdom, making them more profound and more worth while. And that whole thing gets energy and deeper thoughts. deeper feelings from following ages old fractureless healthy natural ways of living on all areas of life, of deeds being wiorthwhile in that sense, worth doing like our heart says and what wusdom says about what is wase and good way of doing things. And those skills get support from wandering in the nature and looking at trees, so that one compares a thought with a tree branch or so, it's curvature it's healthy spirit, it's atmosphere, and takjes those as a guide toward better quality and wisdom of life. And so piece by piece one builds a better world, better life in a better wiser living environemnt, and does that in a way which is art like to remember, to copy and learn from, not a burden but instead a natural pleasure, wisdom like the ages old ways of living, their parts.
E36. 29th of November 2020 There is something alike in Gnomes and this kind of ghosts, but there is a clear difference too: gnomes are clearly alive and positive in atmosphere and safe, while ghosts are thought to have died a long time ago and may be mixed with negative characteristics connected with ghosts and the spirits of the dead and with dangers of dying.
"Spirits of the dead, like wind or a white fabric, is different from ghosts, like an old times' human figure that has colours but which one can maybe part of the time partially see through. A ghost has liked to live in some place, still just lives there, even though all have not noticed him/her, but maybe he/she is an elderly person who just lives quietly and likes handiworks, maybe wants to keep up handiworks tradition and that tpogether with older age makes the clothes look unusual. If the world is of spirit, he/she is maybe sometimes with you in the same world, when you somehow like to live in the same kind of miljo as her/she, and at other times,when you live a different kind of life at different times of the day or night, he/she is maybe not there seen at all in your spheres of life."
"I do not know how one could see ghosts, but I guess that it is via liking some place, being fascinated by it, a place that has a long history, that has been liked and valued."
https://wakingfromdeath.blogspot.com/2020/11/about-spirits-of-dead-and-ghosts.html
E37. My poodle remarked to the subject of ghosts that foreigners often have a peculiar unwise view to the dead. On a walk in a forest patch with already snow too there was the atmosphere of maybe spirits of the dead, like insects on the branches of undergrowth having died, but it was in harmony with the nature and humans and animals there, maybe the insects were just stiff and followed the wanderers with their eyes, and were there to spend the winter so and wake up in the spring to birdsong, sun and waking nature. While foreigners tend to stick to subjects like ghosts and spirits of the dead as if they were looking to a drawer to see what is there, as if ghosts etc had always existed and there were no danger in them. But my poodle said and I agree that things have not stayed the same. Ghosts in the past times were a different thing. The times have changed and the ways of living and values and the amount of fracturelessness and harmony, and so ghosts too must be a differewnt thing, and different even for each individual, since they have different values, skills and nature.And so one must build by oneself the fracturelessness to one's environment, in questions of life after death too. One way to associate with ghosts etc is to wish good for them and for others around too, and to leave them in peace, in a good life as far as one can influence.
E38. "97. Praying and knitting
When I started the first pair of mittens, I did not have any previous
successes in knitting, and my habits were full of advices from others
and influencies from the ways of kntting of characters completely
different from my own, not at all nice ways to knit. So maybe up to the
halfway of the first mitten I prayed several times that I would find
peace to find my own way of knitting, my own handiwork skills and not to
collapse under the mountains of influencies from others. And so I think
that that helped a lot in that I learned to like knitting." https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2017/10/knitting-tips.html
But my view on how to get peaceful life is instead to wish well and support civiliced views.
E39. 30th of November 2020 In following the presidental elections of USA I did not understand much. But is it so that one party wants things according to education, while the other says that people do not in practice make choices so and that needs to be taken into account which then causes more like a mess. In the University of Helsinki, Finland, where I studied as a young adult (I studied theoretical physics and math but did not like them at all, it just made no sense; but I studied also some theoretical philosophy and liked it, still value it somewhat), it was thought that educatyion needs as it's support a wider view of the world, often theoretical in the light of wisdom of life and with the ages old healthy natural ways of living giving a picture of humans via which one can understand a lot and offer happy life in practice, well working solutions too. Via wisdom of life one finds answers that are good for others to use, and so the solutions work out better, and the biological picture of humans is at so theoretically wide level that it can build a bridge between different types of humans and even animals, so that one does not create a mess but instead easy naturally working solutions.
E40. 1st of December 2020 Civiliced wisdom like education teaches has typically truths that some understand and some others do not fully understand. Since one tends to drown in the skill level and viewpoint of the person who talks, oneought to start by the ones with a good understanding explaining things and viewpoint, if one wants to clarify the elementary grounds for the wise choices, and not the more stupid and irresponsible explaining their viewpoint.
E41. 2nd of December 2020 Wandering in the unbtouched environemnt often spoils it and would be better left undone. But on the other hand untouched snow for example seems to invite to wandering in such a beautiful refreshing harmonical way. Could it be that such is often allowed if one is enough in tune with the environment, it's values, ways of doing etc, but that inviting others to it is not allowed. While wandering there one ought not in one's mind imagine telling about it to one's friends or kids etc, since that is different life, more unwise than the nature and so psoils the harmony already as a thought, and since if they would come, that would be as if dragged, and out of tune with the real spirit of the values of the place. But if others too have found it in their soul the fasc´cination for such a place, wihtout being talked about it, they too could wander there in harmony.
E42. 3rd of December 2020 I looked at the beginning of the book Joulu joutui, Christmas time came. It seemed old fashioned good quality book. It had in the cover pictures of a Christmas gnome that brought to my mind post office, it is said that Santa Claus has a huge post office and nothing much else. Could it be that in the old times Christmas was connected with sending and receiving postcards and Christmas packets, so that people maybe did not visit relatives but instead send them well thought of letter and pictures, much like post and not so much like revealing sio much about themselves, but maybe something, for example some dream and many Christmas like things. Also the book brought to my mind that had they in the old times had more Christmas like everyday life that time of the year, for example feeding birds, making home nice, Children playing, music in the radio or singing at home, sports outdoors, animals, nature, treasured books, glimpses of dreams, etc
The book said that Christmas is at the same time young and ages old. It seemed to find a way of adapting new things to be parts of the Christmas fun, it's pleasure, yet keeping tradition's good sides, it's valued things too. I feel that this Chritsmas gnome skills text of mine would need such adapting, but I do not know how, since mostly I have compared it to Christmas tales and to advices in hobby skills. Yet it is from the time of computers, when the speed of e-communication is so quick that it alters the Christmas traditions.
The book said that the present day Christmasses are only a little bit over hundred years old and came first to bigger houses and priests' homes and only later to all and still later to town center Christmas street lights & shops. Often such as celebrations are a way to lift the quality of life where it otherwise would be too low, like with food for example. And so the traditional ways of living which were happy as far as I know, did not need it so much, but people who helped the ill and miserable, like priests needed such, and also those with much less wisdom of life like those who valued houses instead of the nature and wisdom of life. And a town without much nature is also not so good for wisdom of life, while decoration lights help to remind that there are positive things to build one's life upon and one can buy many useful nice things for exampole in Christmas time, and the ordinary example ofskis offers good life, health, sports, outdoors healthy life, nature, possibility to wander on one's own, and a good example of things that moist like at all ages, and need too.
My impression is that it is the same with s´Santa Claus Lands of different countries: people who have been much ill some turn to Santa Claus when they are miserable and exhausted, and the fact that Santa Clauses are realk persons makes such burden colour the Christmases too, brings vagueness to thme and also an ability to let go, to just sleep and dream and aim for a bettrer life, find some good will too and thankfulness for the nature and life around, for one's possibility to take part in them like is pleasant.
E43. "Often near by people forcing wrong kind of things or things which have wrong kind of spirit to one's picture of the body or tyo one's life, seems to cause cancer, for example claiming nasty things to be good for the other. While free life with healthy spirit, like civiliced wisdom seeks to offer, like seeking towards one's dream job, healthy wyas of living and music, seems to cure cancer away and at leastd oes not cause cancer at all." http://curingguesses.blogspot.com
E44. In this neighbourhood in eastern Finland I live in there is a woman of whom I, and maybe many others, did not first know if she was wanting to move to live in the tundra somewhere, or if she was originally from the tundra and wanted to learn to live somewhere else. But I guess that is one's aura, that means atmosphere, social style, ways of doing in what comes to their spirit and values, likings, values, etc, if those are like the people in the tundra, then she wants to move to live in the tundra. But if her aura is something very different from the tundra, she does not want to live in the tundra but instead where the life is like her aura, but if she is originally from the tundra, she may have habits and views and skills of the people in the tundra and she ought to learn new skills which would suit her own inclination, her own values and likings. (So, an aura is different from the general shape or impression of the person, or an exact picture of what she/he does, since those are most likely what she/he has been raised to, or what he/she has lately done. Instead an aura in this sense means what influencies the person seeks and has as a long time much liked hobby, what are her dreams, what kinds of things she/he likes and what she/he anchors herself/himself to because that is her/his dream. Like for example music or money or sex.)
E45. 4th of December 2020 Last month there was lots of Swedish influence in Finland and I learned that the Swedish are much more stupid than the Finns since the Swedish neglect looking very much or look from their memory instead of all the time forming a good picture of the environment, and so their ability to pictoral objective thinking is much lower than Finns'. They are also interested in single benefits and harms instead of, like Finnish speaking Finns, looking at the wide picture and wishing well to the society and the world and that with healthy spirit, wisdom of life and an understanding of how societies work. But an interest in farming for example emphasizes the sense of sight and so cures thinking ability to a large extend. https://pikakoulu.blogspot.com/2013/07/vaarinkasityksia-ajattelukyvysta.html
E46. "(For Thanksgiving long walk in the cool creates a quietened mind that
apprexiates the rough beauty"
E47. 5th of December 2020 "In a summer time's rainy day wear long trousers or the like. Then you can wear a coat and go for a walk to see and listent o the rain and the nature somewhere where there are trees or bushes: to listen to the rain drops on leaves, to look at the beauty of the rainy weather's nature and to smell the greenery on rain or just after a rain. When you return home, put wet shoes to dry well ja wear dry woolen socks, eat pie or something of the kind and maybe drink a cup of tea." http://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html
E48. "
When in the late summer waters in the lakes get cooler because of the rains and the weather is in the late summer and in the beginning of autumn somewhat cooler but such that is good to spend time outdoors, then if you for example on the way tip your feet to the water in the lake shore or walk in teh terrain among the grasses which have partly been burn and dried by the heat of the hot summer days, you are then at the same time both fierce and warm enough, you feel the power of the summer time's nature, it's wisdom, you watch life from the point of view of a wild animal, from a point of view that gets superbly well along with the seasons, life's toughness, it's warmth, the wisdom of an almost full lifetime, summer's emotionality and the challenges that the nearing autumn time brings to wisdom, to how to be strong, weather proof, able to make preparations, oneself warm and wise, with wisdom of life, feeling, with foresight, one who finds balance between energy reserves and the demands of the weather, an indian of the late summer, a few steps in the bushes of the shoreline, on the shore stones, and when the weather gets cooler or the feet get wet soon fleeing indoors, to eat pie, woolen socks warming one's feet, watching out of the window, planning adventures, looking for nice things to do."

E49. "
Years ago I learned to like wandering on
city streets in April, when I used to read poems in the spring time, but
I do not remember which poems fitted just April. Now all the snow has
not yet melted but I guess that for example old Chinese poems:
A
quotation from Pertti Nieminen's Finnish translation collection "Veden
hohde, vuorten värit, Kiinan runoutta" (Water's shine, the colours of
the mountains, Chinese poetry)
A poem of Chiang K'uei
"A summer day on Ling-Yin mountain
The wind blows to the pine branches,
it longs me to join it under the pines.
From via the northern mountains comes clouds;
I need to all the time turn my head
and look at them.
Clouds arise all day and night,
the rain of the mountains keeps clothes wet.
How long do I need to still sit
behind the bamboo window
and mumble new songs about the rain falling?"
(My translation)
Indoors
in April especially green plants make it nicer, and maybe also natural
materials, things like traditional handicrafts, like a basket, and a
nice blanket or the like soft warm with nice atmosphere and still
needed. An instrument / music too."
