M1.   25th of May 2022   For creating a golden era, a flourishing season in a society, in life generally and not only in arts, read this whole Christmas gnome skills text but at least 

* healthy ways of living and doing, see the link at B35.

* "Live and let others live", see F60.

* learn talents and skills for your distant most loved dream job, see the second text in this same blog

* in part 2. About Kalevala B38. and maybe World is of love B39. 

* in part 5. E11. Easy quick school for animals


M2.   I have not gotten any money from writing this Christmas gnomes skills text. Yet it takes the place of a profession in my life. 

M3.   27th of May 2022   In Savonlinna one thing bringing gnome like appearance was painting or teaching drawing and painting as a profession, like many of the elderly often have. Such is often wise, peaceful, with wisdom of lufe and open-minded, discussing civilicedly. There used to be a famous art exhibition Retretti every summer near by at Punkaharju. 

M4.   28th of May 2022   About how i with the help of birds taught a cat outdoors in the summer to make fine poems. One ought to have a rich experience of lufe, so one could from it get wisdom of lufe to the poems. Then one ought to make bunches of it that would be words and richly felt wordly expressions for humans, and so a human could write down the poem. It was a nice cat, very well behaved, a nice atmosphere around.    https://villakoirabanjo.blogspot.com/2020/07/elaimen-runoja.html 

M5.   Some army units abroad are in drugs, fully rotten so that basic structures do not work and that is why they are more in trouble. They are left without some kind of as if spiritual support from the wide world that thinks that it is good if basic skills work all right, kind of all basic things ok, so that they can think that the world is on right tracks. 

M6.   If one lacks climate skills, one ought to look at a street with trees on the sides of the street and look at the atmosphere of the miljo and wander according to that atmosphere, with it guiding how one wanders. 

M7.   30th of May 2022   My parents told me as a child that the name Tervola which our relatives used to have, was said to teach people with that name ("terve"= healthy) to be skilled healers, so skilled that for some doctor it was enough for the patient to just see the doctor and all illnesses and wounds got healed at once. And at those times it seemed that people did not have any illnesses, only accidents and the like. For healing that quickly it is often a way of tge sporty individual to teach healthier ways while passing by : this way, via natural roads with common sense, civiliced wisdom and feelings along. For learning such new cures one ought to pay attention to first moment social impressions of the ill from tge point of view of healthy ways of luvibg, like appeared cumbersome as if..., would it help to use ghe orfinary skill of some fruitful looking usual area of healthy ways of living and civiliced wisdom. See curingguesses.blogspot.com , parantamisesta.blogspot.com 

M8.   1st of June 2022    I wonder could one be like a hero of old times but in these modern ages if one read kn part 2. the text About Kalevala B38., and in the beginning of this blog about how to learn talents and skills, and maybe the Easy quick school for animals E11., and if one would look at healthy natural ages old ways of living from the point of view of basic theoretical picture of the world like the sciences.

1. To a Dream Job (Like this you find your dream job and learn talents!)

To a Dream Job
 Written by Kaisa Hannele Tervola, Finland
Many of us have different strenghts than what your dream job would need. And the more we admire some professions, the higher demands we often set to ourselves to be allowed something so high. But our own strenghts reflect usually the dreams of our parents, to which we have already gotten introduced so much that we are thoroughly bored, and not what we feel that our own lives have been most lacking, what we most admire and which we would most enjoy our time, which we would most carefully take to our heart and take care of if it were our work. We cannot change to be copies of our parents, so better for us to travel to the unknown toward our own dreams!
Choosing a profession for oneself starts with finding the right way of living: what is your biggest dream, what would perfect life be like, what is the one and only right choise that is often so far that at most in sleeping dreams and tales we dream of it? Set your goals there, take the first steps to that direction with your full heart and with all your wisdom of life, and life is at once much more worth living. If you try with a full heart, that is a different things from somehow, with half a mind only, quickly on the way to something else, just somehow sloppily, just because of the looks and not the content, done. First the idea is to get experience of trhe area of life that you love. You do not need to be of professional level to start with, instead the main thing is to to via your own most loved roads get to know the things you love with your full heart, even if they were distant dreams. Via travelling your own roads you can use your capacity fully and learn as much as you ever can. When setting your goals according to your own wishes,according to those distant dreams, your deeds do not lack spirit: you are at once talented in something that you love. First you have a fascinating hobby, then you start to achieve things that fascinate you in it, set new goals that you love and work for them enthusiastically. This way you do not get flat and bored from memorizing books, instead you have your own style and music like fascinatuion in what you do, real power and own insight and well trainbed skills as  your support in your favourite job, which is like your deepest dreams and not set by the environment you happen to be in, your nonexistent starting leve of skills and your initial lack of talents. So there is nothing stopping you from starting in your favourite job, first maybe as a practising student and across time as a real professional in it!
On this road there helps the piice of advice about learning skills in things that you love:
How to learn all at the same time - drawing and painting"


"

2. How to learn all at the same time - drawing and painting (Like this you learn all kinds of skills!)

Skills are often ways of looking at things: when one cancentrates in the right way to right things and notices enough the right structures/regularities (like for example colours with their tones and with what they get compared with), then skill is born from it already without really practising it - maybe in five minutes, maybe in 20, maybe from two day's relaxed hobby. But the difficulty is to find that right way of looking, being drown enough in it and to know what that skill really demands.

I have been making advices to others about skills that I can well. With the same principles I ought to be able to make advices for myself about skills that I want to learn. Just for fun I tried this theoretical view to the skill of painting: "What if one could learn it all at the same time?!" In principle one could... Except that some time would be needed for learning to conceive motorics of hands, learning how different colours of paints behave, etc things demanding experimenting. But the basic principle is always the same:


Drown in the experience so strongly that you notice clearly the different tones of the things that you want to learn, for example instead of noticing just red and green, you drown into enjoying the colours and their tones with their impressions so sensitively and experiencing them with your whoke being that you notice even small differencies in tones as clearly as those of colours earlier. The strenght of the experience brings to you vocabulary for that: this is a cold atmosphere, that is a warm social one, what the different things are like, ever better and better noticing such things. Like this you learn to take into account those things. Then just do so and your skill is ok in what comes to that side of things.

All the taime when you do so, when you concentrate to a new side of things, all the time keep your old skills along, for you to get at the same time both your old skills and the new ones. That does not mean keeping to a stuck view or stuck ways, istead it means relaxation in a lively non flat way, reaching a new inspiration, not from dreams but from the fascination of life at the level of experience, which is born of relaxation and of new beginnings, of letting go of old. You can keep your ability to notice the things that your skill consists of, even if you would lose it's formal side totally. Each time you learn something new and the spirit of your skill gets more profound, at the same time as your old skills stay fully.

So what would this mean for me as a beginner without painting skills? One should learn to no5tice forms and colours with their tones, atmospheres, states of mind, harmony, balance, rhythms and their encounters, breaks, what gets compared to what, common spirit and it's complex variations,... And to draw and paint them on paper. So one should drown in the world of colours, enjoy forms and structures, give room for feelings and feel how they affect the way one observes things, get more sensitive to observe how atmosphere connects to what one looks at and how, what associations it brings to one's mind, what role things have in the world and how it brings the spirit to things. One should also learn how to move these to paper: I notice a form/structure, I lift it to be a subject of my concentration and my hand draws a line that reflects the structure in my mind. Superfluous lines are important to drop away in this: not writing, not a language of geometrical forms, instead just a feeling and drownig into it draw a line. Likewise the other sides: a clear image in one's mind and drowning into it drawn/painted shape.

* * *

I noticed that I learned painting well and quickly when in addition to this piece of advice I bladdred through a good quality study book of aquarel painting and was left watching some especially fascinating picture in it, trying toconceive how it was so fine, how it had been painted and why it had so good spirit, how the whole so successfull. Then I left the book open at that place for a couple of days or a few and looked at the fascination of the picture every time I was interested ins uch. Then I painted just something that fascinated me (does not need to be the same subject) partly based on my old skills and learning according tyo the previous advice in skill learning new fascinating things and partly based on what I learned by copying from the picture. Like this after painting a few pictures I knew also new skills quite well.
As far as I know also this piece of advice suits also learning other skills. A good quality study book offers model of a skilled forefigure, who can with her/his style, way of doing and by the things picked to the book teach professionals kills of that area of life. Like this one learns the practices of the profession, it's skills, it's view to the world and even values and it's typical spirit of doing."


M10.   My Thinking course :

Learn The Basics Of
HOLISTIC OBJECTIVE
THINKING EASILY!


PART I
MAKING PERCEPTIONS, ARRANGING THE MEMORY AND GOING THROUGH WHAT ONE THUS HAS MEMORIZED

1.
Thinking consists of noticing things, so objective thinking is very much like using the senses.
What is thinking? Thinking means forming a correct picture of the world. Thinking is based on undisturbed perceptions: “This is like this and that is like that.” 
Thinking is not based on words, terms or concepts. Instead objective thinking is based on ordinary sensory perceptions and on memories of sensory perceptions.
Based on our experience of life we form a picture of our living environment with its human relationships. So the base, the starting point for all thinking, are one’s perceptions, one’s memories of what the world is like, of what our everyday life is like.

2.
Gardening mode: think in practical ways as if you were sensing the things in your memory or imagination.

The best way for making perceptions for the purposes of objective thinking, is to do like one who enjoys gardening does: a concretical clearly sensed nearest environment, where you can use all of your senses to feel the things in it, maybe touch them and try them; plus an awareness of the whole landscape that one is working in: the garden and the wider landscape.
Similarly it is very good in thinking if you can from your memory imagine the things to think about as a very concretical picture in front of you, where you can best watch it and try it, at the same time as you are aware of the place of those things in the world.
You have kind of zoomed yourself to the environment of that subject in your picture of the world so that you can make as clear perceptions as ever: “This thing I see clearly, but about that thing I cannot know because it isn’t in my picture.”

3.
A holistic view of the world: here I live, there is the shop, and so on; future rising to the air and one’s experiencies of life as a trail on that map: here was I at each moment.

Arrange your experiencies of life with the help of the sense of sight to form a map of the whole world.  Some parts of the map you know well – they are described by your experience of life – and some you do not know at all: those are left blank.
“Here I am sitiing, there is a stool below
me, a table in front, the window over there and the door over there, behind the door a corridor via which I came here,… Outside there is the street. Via it, so and so, I can reach home. My home I know likewise but more detailedly. The shop nearest my home in on another street around a corner, the homes of the friends of my kids there near by and the park close by…” Build this way a map of the whole world. Place all things that you know at their right places in that map, like you via your experiencies know them to be. Add to this the official map of the nearest environment, of the whole district, up to the level of the whole globe. This way you have all the world in the same picture!
The past you can place underground, the lower the further away in time it is, and future up into the air. This way you can see the track of your experiencies find its way in the landscape, rising upwards all the way to the ground level, while the future is left up into the air.

4.
You can think of anything in your picture of the world, if you zoom into it and its environment.

You can see any place in your picture of the world if you zoom to that place in your map, and you can see the whole world at the same time when you zoom out to the large scale map of the whole globe.
This way you have one single correct picture of the world, with sizes and proportions right, which is a very good starting point for your objective thinking and in itself already much of what objective thinking aims at: an objective picture of the whole world!

5.
If you want to think about a certain thing in the whole, colour it momentarily so that it rises to meet the eye and is so easy to notice without losing sight of its place in the whole.

When you then need to, or you want to think about something, clolour it momentarily with some colour that you find easy enough to notice, and take a look at it as if you were gardening, like I adviced you before. This way you see both the thing in question and its place in the world, which is very good for youyr understanding.

6.
A gliding glance and forming a holistic view: do not let your glance jump at all!

In these instructions it is the idea to handle all thoughts at the same time, so that you can get everything handled at once and do not need to get stuck in some endless mosaic of things for example as if you were thinking by words.
One who has been highly educated thinking advances slowly and carefully from one piece of information to the next, kind of lets one’s glance glide along the regularities of the thought subject and takes care to not to let one’s glance ever jumb – not even if the one that one talks with would be prone to thought jumbs. This is so because with every jump one easily loses the thread, the idea of one’s thoughts and so the trustworthiness of one’s thoughts is lost too.
So let the focus of your eyes glide along the subject that you think about, at the same time as you form a holistic view of the subject and about its role in the world – just like you would do if you met the things in the life in the living, visited some place or whatever.
This is one of the basic skills in objective thinking, one of its basic rules. From the thus formed holistic landscape like view of the things that you think about, you will later see clearly how thigs are.




PART II
HANDLING THE HOLISTIC VIEW

7.
A nature view at the background helps you to conceive complex things.

Sometimes things get too complicated. At those times it is good if you can imagine a seen nature landscape or even a single detailed tree at the background of your thoughts, so that you can compare the thought to the much much much more complex nature view which is still easy to conceive. In other words, you place each detail of your thought next to some detail of the nature landscape, look first at the nature view and then as if there was nothing special to it, you look at the nature view’s style at the thought as if the thought were simple too – and it has thus become simple!

8.
Concretical fact associations are an easy organised way to change from one subject to another and a way to arrange your picture of the whole.

You get your picture of the whole world arranged in practical ways if you use concretical fact associations to move about in it: our farm -> our tractor -> its repairwork laterly and in the near future -> the maney that the repair works cost -> the farming equipment shop -> what our neighbour bought last time from there -> his tractor -> their family altogether -> what we have like them and what different -> how each person lives in one’s own way -> the rainbow of life -> what is important in life -> happiness, and avoiding catastrophes -> understanding helping in reaching for one’s goals in life.




PART III
DEDUCTION, IN OTHER WORDS: MAKING PERCEPTIONS BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE OF LIFE ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED:

9.
Make generalisations and find things from your memory as if you were finding all spots of a certain colour or form from your environment:
all such things in your vocabulary
(-> finding words)
or in your objective picture of the world
(-> putting things to an objective form)
or in what is available to build from
(-> finding solutions).


Once you have mastered
all the other pieces of advice here
and reached very rational holistic objectivity, this is where you can
develop in intelligence and creativity.

10.
Check where do things apply.

If you want to know things that you have no experience of, you will have to make generalisations and see where they apply, where they at least do not apply – and what would apply there?!
You generalise something by taking some single characteristics of it and by paying attention only to them. For example: cats see well in dark -> seeing well in dark -> Well, if you see well in dark, you notice in darkness things that others with poorer eyesight cannot notice. -> Usefulness in hunting and in survival.
Now compare your generalisation to all the cases that you can find from your picture of the world: were your generalisation right? If not, you have typically forgotten to mention some important detail (“all animals whole eyes are healthy”). Fix it.
It is easiest to generalise very sure common sense truths, since the basic things of life are essential also in the world at large. Like: I need food. -> All people need food in order to stay alive. -> So arranging food for all is one of the most important questions in the whole world.




PART IV
PROBLEM SOLVING:

11.
From a holistic view to details: what you need for a solution, where you could build it from, do you have those blocks, build it!

Many people try to solve problems by trying what they could build from a certain set of available building blocks. If they do not succeed, they give up. An easier and more efficient way to solve problems is to solve them solution centeredly: Think what you would need for the solution, what kind of structures – you can lift them up from your memory by associations – and what you could build them from – that too you can do by lifting the possible types of building blocks from your memory. Then just build it! This way you know what you need and how you can get it and so you are not wasting your time!

12.
One cannot reach one’s thinking ability or objectivity by copying school like looks.

Humans have via the natural evolution adabted to a life in a close contact with the nature. So also our thinking ability gets support from doing practical work (-> gardening mode), using our senses (-> accurate perceptions) and our natural sense of place (-> a map). So objectivity cannot be reached by copying the looks of schooled thinkers or of the town environment. It has to be reached by living in harmony with our sensing nature which builds so a picture of the environment.
School likedness has gotten its main charachteristics from the written text, not from thinking. And the written word is just a means of marking things up. It is not a means of thinking!

 13.
Do not think by words. Think instead by the memories of experiencies and by holistic pictures!

Words are just a tool for communication. Words are not a way of thinking. Instead all our observations are made by the senses, by the feelings and sensations.
Words break things to an endless mosaic that one gets lost to. It looks complicated but it is not good for thinking.
One who thinks by words is like one who has an extremely narrow tunnel like eyesight: For example take a cartoon cylinder from which you can see through one thing at a time, like as if described by a word. It makes an enormous mosaic of even simple things, like your own room. But if you look wirthout such tunnel sight, without the cartoon cylinder, you can see everything at once and so understand much more via using such holistic pictures in your thinking instead of the tiny words.

14.
Relax!

Sometimes one’s head is dizzy and it is difficult to think. That is often connected to tensing the middle part of your body, especially the neck, the shoulders, the back and the stomach area. So just relax in an alive way: exercise, stretch or whatever. Try to make your social reklationshgips friendlier and less formal because that relaxes you profoundly, making you happier, more intelligent and wiser. Do not consider thinking hard work but think with enthusiasm!
You will remember things easier if you can emphatize with the point of view that you were using when you memorized the things. Emphaty too works better with a relaxed body and makes also your social skills better.
You cen remember things better if you are sincerely interested in the subject.

15.
Remember to carry responsibility!

A sense of direction or a compass is for a traveller more important than speed. So pay attention especially to your choice of goals and valuyes that you follow. That affects your life much more than intelligence (speed) in itself!

MOTTO FROM FINLAND: “I love Life in happiness,  like You too! So I take happy Life as my value in the world at large…”




PART V
A MAP OF THE WORLD & DIRECTIONS

Thinking forms a picture of the world for you. That is a map of the world.
Feelings mark what things in it mean to life: strong negative feelings mark things to avoid, while strong positive feelings mark things to reach for. (Be fair!)
An atmosphere
 is a landscape with feelings connected to the phenomena in it: “There is a huge storm cloud coming, let’s run for shelter!” Look separately at each cause of feelings to see what that phenomenom or that class of phenomena mean to life. The seen landscape in the atmosphere gives objective sizes and objective structure to the (relationships of) the phenomena in the landscape.
Atmospheres offer a natural quick and accurate way to think objectively.


EXTRA:
LEARNING THE BASICS OF SOCIAL SKILLS AND OF ANY OTHER SKILL:
You can of course learn them in the ordinary way: by memorizing the advices of others, but there is also another way: you can observe things yourself. That means keeping your eyes open, paying attention to what stays constant, what changes and how, according to which factors and in which ways: just sense, let your sensations form a landscape from which you see by your eyes how things are, you should be engulfed by the experience, so you will know what is what and how things are. The deeper your attention, the better you will notice things. Do not make school like forms out of what you have noticed but let it stay as a pleasant experience instead!
You get BUILDING BLOCKS: a stone, sea, sun, a bird flying,... and STRUCTURES:
there is a huge stone by the sea side and a bird flying in the sun above the
water... Those are your understanding of the thing in question, those are your
thinking. Similarly, if it is a question of your own action, you can conceive parts: thinking, feelings, moving, social side of things, the sense of sight,... and their relationships, structures that they form: If I use my sense of sight in thinking this way, I can think very clearly! Similarly you can conceive both your own action and the landscape that you act in: “Here am I using my muscles and a strong motivation to lift the stone by the sea side...”






In addition please read and loearn these:


Getting Rid of Thinking Errors

Everybody has naturally a good thinking ability. It is just drowned in a mass of thinking errors. Once you get rid of thinking eroors, you naturally find a good common sense like thinking ability underneath.
The most usua thinking errors include:
* putting things to a word like form
* putting edges to thoughts, to experiences, to your own being etc. Just leave the edges away and let each thing have the place in teh world that it naturally has.
* copying the square forms, straight lines etc of the build environment. Instead look at a living healthy tree while you think (it is complex and not word like in it's forms.), but not at an apple tree since it's branches are cut and bent to an unnatural form.
* Reaching for thinking like or educated looks in thoughts is an error, instead of letting the just be exactly like the reality that they try to descrtibe.
* Pretending or acting that you think or are clever instead of putting your energy to humbly just thinking things through.
* Do not replace your always new thoughts with memorized thoughts and formal ways.
* Tensing the neck, shoulders and even the whole body slows down thinking extremely much, even almost stops any new views from entering your mind to an as long times as you stay tense. Sports bring a relaxed reactive body that is better for thinking too.
* You must choose your goals and values with your very best thinking ability and not just cunn with a stupid head, since your goals and values affect the most where you will end up.

Some additional observations:
* Don't be theory-based in your observations. Do not ask yourself: "Is this a door, or is this a wheel? What is it?" since that is kind of replacing your observations by words. Instead let your observations be just like you sense those things: "This is like this. And that is like that."
* If you are not up to the level of somebody else, avoid doing anything extra on top of the things that the other one does: for example looking manly, acting educated, reaching for some style in thoughts or otherwise. Also, if the other one is clearly better than you are, avoid dropping away things that you consider needless to do since it often is that such differencies in preferencies in what to do and what to avoid, cause the differencies in skills and intelligence: the other one just knows the value of atmospheres, beauty, relaxed body, love of the nature, the avoidal of artificialities and nasty things etc.
* Intelligence and skill are questions of what you exactly do, in other words of your way of doing: do you use the eyes, how much at least, is your body reactive, which things you pay special attention to, which you bypass to avoid disturbancies, have you dropped other actions momentarily away, etc.
* Once you have learned some better way to think or to do things, use it in the matters of major importance in your life and in the lives of others and in the world at large.
* The easiest thoughts are clearly seen, so the stupid appear rational. While intelligent thought go quickly and cover vast areas with a good clear view. Intelligent ones seem vague and without form. So do not copy from the most man like in appearance, since they are likely to be more stupid than you are, but instead copy from those who live in healthy ways and do well in skills!"

From my blog quickerlearning.blogspot.com 



M11.   About avoiding pains because of women's menstruation period. One should avoid using the same bandage again, also if it looks clean and has been used only for half a minute. One should avoid shit bacteria mixed in blood, so in toilet wipe from center backwards and with clean toilet paper from center forwards. One should avoid detergents in the bottom. One should wash with clean water but shower more like from a distance, not so close to the bottom, not detailedly clean, but wipe with toilet paper instead, and always a new bandage. Treat yourself some favor like a cookie or music. Don't eat food that melts slowly. If there is pain because too heavy food during menstruation period, go to the toiled. Eating lots of sugary candy may help to the pain, but remember to brush yourcteeth with toothpaste after that. My experience is that with these advices former pain vanishes gradually in one or two days like speed of a vehicle lowers even if one does not intentionally use brakes for it except maybe forvturning.

M16.   5th of June 2022    This does not connect with gnomes but might explain why people feel that they need to take it easy.  In Espoo there is a lake called Bodom lake, maybe a kilometer one way and a few kilometers the other way, and as one drives a road next to it it appears quite much like caused by an explosion and the lake's water is said to be dangerous. The tale says that there was Finland's army's gun powder storage there underground but in the 1960's it exploded and all near by died, and after some years there was a lake there. One story says that mice had dug tunnels from the surface to the storage and some mischievous but utterly stupid man gave a burning match to a mouse encouraging it yo go underground, to see what happens, and so it at once exploded with a huge bang. Another explanation is that it was a hydrogen bomb aimed at Helsinki but with wrong coordinates, which makes people at the capital district wonder what to avoid.

M18.   What being fat feels like and how it affects your life, depends on whether you ate good food like feels good, varying according to the situation  so that you have fat just the way you feel that you need at, so that the feeling of fat is somewhat like a nice summer day or life with pleasant music too, so that you feel good but do not need to give up your thinking. Or did you eat somehow in a wrong way, not able to eat less and melt fat in the spring time, so thst you feel cumbersome and exhausted. What has surprisdd me is that you need to eat because slmebody else you thought about needs a meal, but it does make life easier and situations lighter, but then you are also more fat. 

 M19.   " If the handsome or beautiful go past you     Sometimes one feels that one meets only ordinary people and when one then meets someone really fine or interesting that person isn't really interested and is somehow difficultly behaving. The others on the other hand aren't as fascinating, at least not those who get stuck to your company. Can that be a question of social distance and not of whom you meet. Maybe a natural distance on which it is good to live and to show one's most fascinating sides to others, isn't very close or of fair conversation partner, but isntead such that talk goes somewhat missing the hit, the other one continues of another subject, of his/her own life and not stuck to one place. Like that archingly running horse (see the picture) and not like when finding someone gettng stuck to one place like we will sit here for long. Or like a drunken person, who misses some of the talk but who lives one's own life energetically in a very good way. Or like someone who is not planing dating yet now? bonding to this relationship: the human figure stays untouched, undisturbed the life one is living, fascinated by one's own life and by the world. So one is allowed to be with one's own rythm,listening ot one'sown views, neglecting brong point and nasty suggestions, leaving them to less emphazis. Yet in harmony with the world like that archingly running horse and "Live and let otehrs live", carrying responsibility about others too like brings good lig´fe and good world to live in.

M20.   Often some, especially elderly, concentrate so much on the demands of good quality work that they fill only the demands of work and many other things are neglected or with much too little emphazis. Then life depends on others not having such work and them thinking that they then need to take care that all is good for life, arrangements made, values followed and the wisdom of life in use good for people living their lives in the society.

M21.   7th of June 2022   If the world is of spirit, the environment and even your own body may change according to what is your approach and which kinds of influencies you get, like for example uf you arrange home or repair something, the weather may leave it's style and mood in the end result, and similarly of social factors, subjects of interest and approach taken like for example via garden or straight from work. 

M22.   I do not know but my impression is that if there is somewhere for the inhabitants very luttle room to live in, many of those who came there did not come because they liked the district, what are thr local values, ways of living, main professions, main attractions  skill levels and charscteristics of the area. Instead they came along with someone or followed some advice which was not right for them. So they ought to be offered chances to move to the towns etc that they personally like and value, and so i guess things would be more kn peace and people more sovereign. 

M23.  I listened today children near by playing that they were sheep : arguing about shit on the ground and about the unwise tyranny of parents. It seemed that the sheep lacked civiliced wisdom. So for animals at large and for human families too what one could try to cure the situation is the Easy, quick school for animals : E11. in this blog. To the animals a singing bird could teach it, but it demands looking at a landscape with some nature in it. 

M24.   8th of June 2022   " If one would like to celebrate Midsummer in the Finnish way but abroad, one could with the family eat some traditional food that is more countryside style, and then go out to a park or otherwise green area and sense the weather, the time of the day and it's light, the nature's beuty, birdsong and the like, leisurely, like is pleasant and has a nice atmoshphere. If one would like to go to some happening, a quite peaceful one to which one can take kids, maybe with violin music or the like: emotional, peaceful, traditionally inclined, sensing the nature etc.
If you like this, maybe you would like to read my long text about the seasons in Finland  http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html ."

M25.   If one wants to know why was my lufe in Savonlinna somewhat gnome like, while my youth in Helsinki not in the same way, I guess that the main explanation is one's own profession and the main professions around, plus hobbies and values, both one's own and those around. If one meets a certain professiln a lot, like for example the university, then at those circles everything is said and done for all to have life in those professions, and similarly of the main attractilns of the town and what it's shops thus offer. So if one wants a gnome like life, where one can fibd such kn a form that suits oneself, depends on the main professiobs, hobbues and valyes there. 
As far as I know, one cannot change the inclination of a town, since there are many reasons for each main choice of the town's culture and not jyst one like former arrangements for example. But one can add new things that are generally suited for all (which usually means civiliced wisdom), if just the place is good enough for them and those things wanted there. 

M26.   If you wonder why some gnome like place has too sugary bakery or the like, it is often for the ill who would naturally just cry, or some nationalitues from a different climate or nit to be eaten to saty long, kill or divert attention. It is not the place of ordinary bakery which is just for eating, for example to celebrate. Ordinary bakery is sold at different kinds of places : at cafeterias, bakery shops, at food shops and at the market. 

M27.   At least in Finnish the different gnome books have a different audience. Some gnlme book can teach skills of comfortable living that a hard working 40 years old man had, and the pictures teach men that good food makes working lufe easier to bear. Some women's handiwork books seem to have been written for gnome like life, but then the gnome theme dropped away so that it becomes much more difficult to learn from. 

M28.   Where do these Christmas gnome texts then come from? The key is that I do not write about gnomes. Instead I write of ordinary well running things and about the skills supporting them, and so Christmas gnome like life too. There seems to be a demand for Christmas gnomes, but the demand is often a wish for well running life and skills for peace and freedom, so that one can choose how one lives and still live a good life. The tale figure makes it suited to a wider international audience. 

M29.   9th of June 2022   In a quite small place, like Savonlinna is a countryside town, one gets more peace for the individual characteristics of the place if one, and people there generally, often thinks that this is just Savonlinna with the medieval castle, steam ships, opera, art, countryside with summer cottages, tourists and the local culture, how charming such, how good possibilities there for such. Likewise when I thought that maybe i could become a painter, such things were often in my mind, like how to learn to paint and what an atmospheric view, fascinating subjects and building blocks of greater skill, subjects of profound importance and charm in the world. 

M30.   I tried to take pictures to explain tge dufference of following instructions with the original gnome theme or without it, but i did not succeed. Besides, i haven't been sewing lately, just hanging in the internet and writing this gnome skills text. I have been so sleepy and all subjects have already been used, so that i just emphasize some old point with different words. 


M31.   10th of June 2022   This text is true, an honest fact text. I have these things in my life in the form I write about. And as far as I know these skills that I teach could bring such things also to the reader's life if he/she so wishes and uses these skills. But after i have written of these i have typically lost them from my lufe, except the tale like thibgs that i did not have at all, like i wrote that a hot air balloon flight sounded a fine gnome luke experience, even though i am afraid of high places, and the next day a small singing bird flew to my room and sat on a room palm and seemed pleased to live there and said that flying is a fine thing. So these texts are not so much tales, not untrue at all. The Finnish culture values honesty even though Finns typically often lie, but i happen to be an honest individual, and besides educational text needs to be very much true. I think these are fine things, so i like to write about them, to make them possible in the world. Sincerely true, already this far in my life, and ought to make the same type ofvthings possible for readers too, detailedly true like a photograpf ought to be, yet typically at a general level instead of telling detailedly about my life, i.e. telling of skills, about how to learn skills. 

M32.   11th of June 2022   When I still had my poodle, we had problems because of some liars attacking, but on the other hand we had quite peaceful pleasant life : doing our share to make the world a better place, some art too, reaching for healthy ways of living like walks, home chores, nature and music, and doing our share in making life in the environment better which was mostly my healing blog and the advices about living the seasons. But it was quite peaceful so, a little bit like smell of honey and dust particles in the air in sunlight. 

M33.   If one does not feel so well in tge summer and maybe ends up in arguments, one maybe needs ordinary vanilla icecream. Maybe 70 or 80 advices for overcoming summer time not feeling well in my text    http://curingguesses.blogspot.com/2017/08/if-you-dont-feel-well-in-summer-time.html

M34.   12th of June 2022   I sent this text's link to the Finnish Santa Claus Joulupukki, and managed to check the sales report of this blog's 9 first chapters plus links as a 500 pages long black and white book, which I made last October, but only i had bought one copy of it and no other sales. 

M34   13th of June 2022   Last summer I made a melody for a bird which had collided with a window, for it to recover.



M35.   14th of June 2022   In fact Santa Claus seemed to think that i shoukd now make part 2. of the book of these Skills of Christmas gnomes parts 10. - 13. which would maybe be  paperback with emphazis on the entries about nuclear bombs i.e. J37., J38., J39. and J51. and with only the texts needed for a golden era (maybe not including healthy ways of living ) and hero like old times but in this midern times added, and propably without ghe entries in part 10. about making a book. And Santa Claus said there would still be part 3. Coming, and that's it! 

M36.   I tried collecting the texts toa book and noticed that it just continyes from the old witvout explaining anything about gnomes. So it has to be called "Skills Of Christmas Gnomes, continued" instead of being able to call it Book 2. And for the same reason it must have the entries about making a book, i.e. to tell what kind of view of gnomes this is. 

M37.   15th of June 2022   I collected the blog posts to a hundred pages long book, and if it goes ok through the final check it ought to be for sale in www.amazon.com in three days' time. 

 M38.   16th of June 2022   The book has now a page but not yet for sale at   https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B45C7J9M but not yet fully available. 
The book would cost 9usd but postage can be expensive from usa. But the book is not yet available for buying. And most of all, tge book does not work without the first book or this blog. The first book is much better. 
17th of June 2022   Now there is the price 7,50 pounds, and that really is 9usd and a little bit less in euros, but one cannot yet buy it. 
 I found the us page too :    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B45C7J9M but one cannot yet buy it. 
I bought the book from the us site, but with the postage and some other fee the totalwas 24,48 euros. 
8th of July 2022   It seems that i do not get the post packet. It was send to a dangerous looking place and i did not get the fetching place changed, even though that was claimed to be easy. So i guess that this text of mine is no longer so much wanted, so i do not need to continue it. 
12th of July 2022   It seems that it is possible for me to get the book. It just takes time and money since they move the packets as if one were sending them far awsy. 
14th of July 2022    It seems that I do not get the book, since I have npt heard of it. It may be that someone opened it on the way and the back cover text made them have a glimpse at the book and so it disappeared spmewhere. 
Skills of Christmas gnomes, continued   Back cover : "This book is a continuation for the book Skills Of Christmas Gnomes. Together with the first part it throws into the air ideas about subjects that a Christmas gnome might need, like avoiding an atom bomb, being like a hero of old times in the modern world, creating a golden era i.e. a flourishing season in the society, and many other ideas together with hints about living a comfortable life in the modern world, very much regardless of where in the world you happen to live."
21st ofJuly 2022   I finally got the book from post. It is a thin about 100 pages long papercover and much like a blog print but surprisingly comfortable to read. The pictures looked nucer than kn the first book. 


I lowered the price to 5.24 usd, but the postage is three times as high. The book is quarter of an inch thick and paperback, so propably one could send it as a big letter, but i do not know if there is such an option. Maybe the book is too wide. 
 Amazon.de has this book but i do not know how much the postage costs, but it seems that one can use English there.   https://www.amazon.de/Kaisa-Hannele-Tervola/dp/B0B45C7J9M/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=G5LTQEBS42JN&keywords=tervola&qid=1658409274&s=books&sprefix=tervoka%2Caps%2C163&sr=1-2   24th of July 2022   My impression is that this second book "Skills of Christmas gnomes, continued" would be a good Christmas present, kind of gnome diary like. 
The German amazon.de seems to post books to Finland for free if one buys enough.
