LEARN TALENTS and SKILLS quickly, well and quite easily: dream job, liked home, music, rationality of feelings, etc. These advices are from a climate of 4 seasons. The appearance or style of Christmas gnomes ought to be acc. to local climate, culture, type of town, life, etc. learntalents.blogspot.com/2023/10/christmas-angels.html gnomes/elves LearnTalents.BlogSpot.com/2018/09/ Try free www.blogger.com blogging!

This is a diary like order of writing, so the headers refer to just something in the text and the rest is kind of randomly chosen, yet with some logic of what suits there, what makes gnome like life more possible.

1. Healthy natural ways of living are not a rigid rule or alike for everyone. Instead they are a group of things that are good to have in life and from which there usually is lots of good things coming if you catch the idea in them. Feeling bad, dark thoughts, depressed, being ill, agitation, lack of
energy, etc often are results of a lack of healthy ways of living.
But how much you should do each thing in the healthy natural ages old
ways of living, in that you need to try some amount and listen to what
brings pleasantness and energy.
The healthy ways of living are a loose group of things and may depend on the climate.
2. The basic things in healthy way sof living are healthy food
(eat many kinds of things like feels good) in which there is (according
to the food circle advice taught in school, see point 215.) vegetablöes,
fruits and fish year around. And pleasant varying sports, spending
time outdoors and admiring the nature and a touch with the weather and
going out just in daylight time.

18. What you daily excell in and get position from, what are your
meaningful achievements and your successes, determines your profession
to a large extend. So train just the skills of your dream professions!
And avoid achieving continually in the demands of professional ability
of such professions that you absolutely do not want tinto them. Show
that you do well on other areas of life that are better suited for
yourself." http://todreamjob.blogspot.com
Some women do lot of evil, and often the reason for that is that they
would like work like men's work, but when they are given such, they want
something else, for example more social or wider ins cope, but refuse
call it some other version, and so they again are given very boring
men's work and so they get tired in a day or so and quit. They should
pay attention to what expressions are used of each choice about w´how to
do work, and change the exporession to suit their present view of what
kind of work they want.
My mom liked her work a lot. And she had blue jeans, quite worn but
without holes, quite nice looking, somewhat female but kept much like
some men might keep theirs and not very finely. She also had a kind of
ball shaped woolen shirt with dots (single knitted loops) of another
colour. She had a hair almost to the shoulders witrh sorter above the
eyes. It was kind of man like yet recignisedly female, very work
oriented. She enjoyed her work very much." http://healthilymoral.blogspot.com
D4. How the summer is benefical for understanding
"A goiod understanding demands usually both warm (ideals, compare to flowers, + peace) and cool (heat regulation, objectivity, articulating grounds).
On hot weather one usually senses the material strongly, for example the bark of a tree and the tree material inside the trunk of a growing tree, undergrowth plats with their leaves, flowers and raw berries, or for example the material of a newspaper, table top, etc. Such classifications are good for philosophy and for learning new talents: to which things one ought to concentrate, what is the center of attention in those skills. Also the phonetical meaning of the phonems in a language use some such perspective, likewise how some indigenous people learn new languages was it in a half an hour or a couple of days, learn a new language well by learning it's view to the world and it's social perspective, which maybe when one thinks about it, is how a child is encouraged to be a part of that society by talking:
A Finnish speaking one independently starting from one's own thinking perspetive and with one's own wisdfom of life, a Swedish speaking by paying attention to artifacts, an English speaking one encouraged to be socially a part of the social group as a person and a character, a Russian one to remember the society's theory perspective but to live in a way that values countryside life, a Japanese one to be one that does in poractice but has studied well the society's theory and taken it to one's heart, a Chinese one encouraged to do but to look how one does, a German one to be a society member that produces civilized theory perspective of the Steiner school type, a French one to live old time's countryside build miljo life, and a Hungarian one to remember taught things but to do like one's view of how is best quality and fascinating. (Just my guesses, I could not so well remember all languages that I know a little bit.) I guess that an Arab warns that outdoors it is hot and dry and salty air, better indoors but it is nice to spend some time outdoors ever now and then. An African (Swahili) I guess would like to continue traditional African small village life, accepting in addition only shop. A Spanish one encourages to live as an individual that leaves a bold space for feeling wisdom of life. I guess that the language of Tahiti gives an advice that listen and think with your best understanding which routes work best and do along them. Hawai'ian Aloha I h´guess would be from this view "Could we take it easy/calm?". A dog puppy is adviced by other dopgs to do by oneself, according one's own best understanding and wisdom of life. A bird youngster is advices by other birds to remember taught wisdoms and do oneself in skilled ways.
In the summer it is good to lie on the grasses and look at the landscape and tree branches wavung uin the wind, so that one has there some kind of basic perspective, a landscaoe like view to be a model for pictures of the whole in objective thinking and in one's picture of the world. It is good that it does not interfere but is instead just apicture and in it somelife and it doe snot bother oneäs feelings. It is good that we´hen one looks the view is according to feelings: one learns that the goals of thinking can be and ought to be according to feelings, and at the same time eyes/pictorial thinking tell objective structures. It is also good that one feels easy and the relations hip to the landscape is without problems and in agood mood.
Also looking at the flowers is important: those connect to ideals and the atmosphere tones of the seen leaves etc, helpt o think how such would be possible in practice and teach virtues to it or help learning them."

"In
Savonlinna the weather is very different from the weather in the
capitaldistrict. In the summer time there can be a coupleof weeks of
heat ovet 30 Celcius daytime highest and then suddenly almost 10 Celcius
as if a book had been closed, it reminds me of the song book of a
singing course. In the winter time there is maybe -10C more freezing
than at the capitaldistrict, the coldest mornings here in Savonlinna
maybe aorund -30C but the air dry and somehow calm compared to the moist
winter wetaher biting the face at the capitaldistrict. In the plant
specias map there is a nose at Savonlinna: here grow also the palnts
that demand warmner climate (the II Finnish vegetation zone, counting
from southern Finland northwards). And it is true that Savonlinna is of
it's own kind culturally, it is as if the weathers were characterical to
it.Whena coule of years ago I heard of the cancer surgery of my papa,
the weather went cold, there was a rain ofwater mixed with snow already
in September, one and a half months too early, and it suited the mood.
Many times earlierin the capital district when there has been something
tough in life, school, studies, whatever it was, then coming out has the
biting weather hit me to the face and somehow cured the atmosphere, has
been an influence suited to the moment.
And if I have been
talking about the weather with someone, someone has said that it is
rainuing, and another one a little bit later that the rain already
passed, already there is teh sun peeking through the clouds. It is as if
we experienced the weathers from different points. Also on different
areas tell that one village got snow so much that the ground was covered
only so and so, and other got many centimeters of snow, all white. So
has the summer cottage it's own weather, aech village and town it'sown,
the center of the town more watery, places lived in more snowy.
To
which extend we create ourselves our own weathers? Sometimes when
things have gone evenly and there has been nothing special, it is as if
the weathers had been evenly warmer, milder. And then if I meet some
nasty work oriented engineering oriented person, there is windy, water
mixed with snow, tough,rough, as if the nature too would hit one against
the face roughly the same style as the nasty person. And then when I
forget that, instead of the city center I walk the peaceful streets of
the living areas, a coup of centimeters' snow covers the little
travelled roads,it is beautiful and peacefuöl.
With foreign
culturalinfluencuies it seems that the same kind of thing happens: it is
as if the wetahers would develop into their direction. Maybe I myself
live themin their eways, but does it mean that they for example knwo how
to live weathers warmly if I do not copy from them but from their
cultural wuisdom?
Can we choose our own
roads? Will some road bring environmental problems and via some other
things go well, relaxedly? Do we have the skills to choose right our
ways of living, attitudes, ways of doing, ways of being social, our
human contacts, values, our professions with their ways of thinking, the
circles of our lives? Will we learn?
Scientifical results aren't
as sure as one would think them to be. The thinking ability of those who
enjoy sciences isn'tusually among the best. They maybe understand how
measuring equipments work, but do they understand what the weather was
like at each place when they hear different typesof persons in different
conditions tell about what they experienced? Is there any certainty
that the weather is everywhere the same? Isn't there more evidence that
under socialpressure one does not get expressed through one's own view
of what the weather was like, when someone shouts their own experiences,
but instead thnks they experienced the same weather ind ifferent eways?
But freezing cold snow is different from powder like snow: maybe some
had freezing weather and smallbits of snow thrown to their face by the
wond, while others had feathery buff everything white and still third
ones had city streets with watery snow.

D7. 21th of July 2020 I borrowed from the library a travel guide to Greece. My poodle was glad of the subject but soon got tired. When I looked at the book it advertised things like monasteries, tavernas and ruins and food, and not much life. It was as if it were some working place which had some burden to carry. I wondered if the burden was the ruins,how to get the history to carry well even present day. I mentioned to my dog that if such is a burden, it means that it is't an uninterrupted cultural history, but instread has had pauses with nothing of the kind, maybe 200 years thought my poodle and lost it's tiredness. It also said earlier that if it is just history in books, people and animal persons seek torise to that level themselves, instead of just following somelearned knowledge without trying on one's own to reach that high.
Also if the ruins tend to have the ground magnifient looking but no walls, pilars etc, yet those are of stone. Can it be that the pilars etc were not so fine looking, but were more like too stupid? It often happens with beginners that they have some magnifient insight that with ordinary present day thinking could lead them far, but they do not reach that far since they lack such organised skills in it. Can it be that also present day Greece achieves high in teaching the beginners, for example people coming from Africa, and that could be like in the early days of Greece, i.e. just like the culture carries well that is left in sight in teh ruins? Could it be that one could maybe reach that high all the way if one looked at the local trees while one thought of the subject and maybe also when one tells about it, kind of placing each though next to some curve of a branch or the like? Trees offer seen structures together with their atmospheres that often connect to the life in that climate, to it's good ways of doing, and often one can compare a thought with the atmospheres of a tree or a bush that has branches at least partly in sight, and so the culture's and climate's good ways of doing and the landscape like view natural in that climate come along with a good sense of structures, even complex ones.
D9. "25th of July 2020 Kalevala as a word brings to mind the word
"kalavale"= a lie about how enermously big fish(achievement) you have
managed to catch, and the words "kalliit valat" = valuable loved oaths,
which is something that kalevala's wisdommakes possible or more
possible." https://kalevalainenglish.blogspot.com/
D10. 30th of July 2020 A traditional Finnsih song "Tein minä pillin pajupuusta" teaches high skill and superb quality via humblaness and ordinary life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U57zTGwZPek
"I made a tiny flute out of a tree branch
surely it was only out of an ordinary tree, nothing special
hey, joyfully beautifully rings my flute
though only out of an ordinary tree
In the forest I play between late afternoon and the beginning of the
evening
surely it is only at that time of the day
hey joyfully beautifully rings my flute
though only in this time of the day
Cattle's bells also compete by their music with (the poor) mine
surely they only compete by their full music
hey joyfully beautifully also the cattle's bells
only competingly play they heart touching music
The waves of the small lake splash and sing
surely they modestly ring the right tune just by splashing and singing
hey, joyfully beautifully the waves of the small lake
are modest enough to hit the right chord by just splashing and singing.
* * *
In the Finnish speaking traditional culture of Finland there is the
wisdom that by emphasising too much some rigid form, like I am good at
this, you lose the quality of your actions. By remaining small and
unimportant you all the time reach higher and get a much more fulfilling
life and a better place to decide about things: your word counts when a
good opinion is needed.
I high is poor
I with fine suffers from the company of the fine
I poor is the right position for good quality work
The forest is almost holy, so right it has everything in life.
The cattle is closer to the healthy animal wisdom than we: they play
more beautifully than I.
But most of all the nonliving nature: the lake, has it right, since it
is completely unspoiled by human ways."
1st of August The above does not mean that one should not play in an orchestra. It just means that there is value in playing by oneself, like one's heart wishes and one's best understanding guides. Such makes one much more talented orchestra musician. It just means that one ought not be rigidly formal all the time if one has good will and civiliced ways so that one aims at the right direction also when on one's own.
D11. 4th of August 2020 I sent this gnome skills text to Korvatunturi, Ear Lappland Hill. There was a picture of santa Claus on a summer holiday, and it left a taste that santa gives more presents than I by writing this gnome skills text, and is more skilled and religious. For foreigners there is a Santa Claus site at https://santaclausvillage.info/ . If not a fairy tale figure, maybe santa is a priest or the like.
D12. 6th of August 2020 Some women create social tangles by how they associate with men and especially boys. They kind of like their ways and so they drown to each subject so that they lose sight of rationality and good quality and moral and the guidelines of bringing up children, and so they may end up in a danger of being beaten. If one wants to understand men and boys, one ought not drown in each subject of conversation but instead pay attention to what is the other poerson's way of thinking, see it as one picture as a aprt of one's thoughts/view, and see how good thinking ability the other one has: what he observes and what not, and what kinds of things he always errs in. In addition one ought to know his situation of life, what are the major factors in it, what kinds of social situations he tends to have and what tends to happen in them and what he so chooses as his tactic and what it leads to. And what kind of social pressure there is on him, what kind of place offered, in use, what he considers an imago question and how he handles such and what he so takes care of and what not,what does the situation look in his eyes and what objectively, what in the eyes of others. And so what is the society like and how are important things taken care of.
D13. Some men do not understand women. The reason is that they think that all women are roughly alike and try to search for some common womanhood and so think that all women have all other women's characteristics, and that of course does not work out! Women aren't so complex. And individual differencies are typically bigger than the differencies between women and men. Different women are mostly characterised by the country, climate and culture they themselves are from, and what areas of life they personally feel inclined toward, and what are their skill levels, values and type of social relationships, and what professionm they are in and what situation of life they have in the biggest respects. Often men also confuse different types of women to be the same person, or alike because of profession even if they have different ways and different types of major hobbies, likings etc.
D14. 10th of August 2020 Kalevala is one of the most important bppks of world literature. People who have read it, have a better understanding of what good quality is like, and so they produce better quality and have a better understanding about the value of fracturelessness. So by reading Kalevala one's way of measuring quality changes, and that is a thing worth noticig: did you measure people, places, cultures etc in a way that took into account Kalevala's wisdom while earlier you did not. It is a possibility for growth in wisdom and fracturelessness, yet it at the same time does not value everything as much. http://KalevalainEnglish.blogspot.com
D15. 17th of August 2020 There is a tale that in places called something like "machines get broken" machines do tend to get broken, even so much that maybe one cannot use them. Some think that the might of nature might have something to do with it.
D16. "...thought could be even the reason for God's existence and especially to the purpose of our existence, to the goals of God creating us.
I added the story here:
Once upon a time there was a God, not the highest one of all but an ordinary ruler of one world. The God was worried about the state of the universe since there was too much evil around. Beings didn't seem to understand why to not to be evil. So the God decided it was the fate of the God to try to cure all the countless worlds. In order to do so the God created a world, and created us in it, not to be spirits and capable of much like most of the beigs were, but to be of flesh and bone, and with a lesser intelligence, so that everything would be clear for all to see.
Now in this world we manifest how good is stronger than evil, because good means cultivating good health and evil means needlesss breaking, and because we all understand that a healthy one works better than a broken one. From a technology hell with evil around we have found a road back to the paradise which God created: it is the cultivation of good health of all scales. It is what makes us strong and happy and brings us the best intelligence that we can have. It is what saves this world and all the others.
One might add that if God created the world, God created it this way perfect." http://www.angelfire.com/planet/paradisewins/2013paradise.rtf
D18. 19th of august 2020 Come to think of it, I wonde rif the santa Claus gets it right to whom what kind of presents, or does it leave some bad luck to whom went what. I guess that choosing such is much like choosing what food to cook today: what nutritients are needed (see A64.), what makes life feel naturally melodical and brings energy for the things done, for a few hours at least but also in the long run what is good. In life generally that is more complex since people need healthy ways of living and things generally needed in life plus things of their favourite professions and favourite hobbies, things that makes them feel joyful and in a good mood, firendly and responsible, with healthy common sense and an energy reserve to meet what life brings. A good hobby tool makes that hobby possible in a good way. So it is somewhat also a question of what type of person the receiver is, something such type of persons find useful and joyful when they use it, and which also fits into the socviety.
D19. 25th of August 2020 Generally one gets easily accepted if one just takes care of one's job in a good way and don't rock the boat, just takes care of that things go well and wisely, in a nice comfortable and wise way, with wisdom of life too. Instead of trying to have an opinion about everything, gain power or steal the show. Maybe such attempts are a consequence of the world having changer so much and there being a need of better pictures of the world for many or even for all, which gets mixed with the need of individuals to have an understanding of their own along also outside their own areas of expertise, so that arrangements do not deteriorate into criminal ways.
D20. 26th of August 2020 From my text about cure guesses https://curingguesses.blogspot.com/2018/12/index-with-cure-suggestions-after-word.html , "cure suggestions in them after the word "and"".
astma "67. Difficulties in breathingand investing healthily in the main current of the society which has been said aloud 14.6.2015"
"A261. MStomach aches and correcting life choises tyo be according to feelings 24.1.2016"
"A344. Getting sudden attack of a disease and giving up the estimates that caused the attack 21.6.2016"
D21. In borrowing from a library there is some wisdom of the town that one lives in that matters in how well one succeeds. It would be good to borrow just fine books that one happens to be interested in, maybe invest time and enthusiasm in like a hobby for a day or two or longer. Here in Savonlinna there are liked reasons to be in Savonlinna, like the summer time opera festival which makes this a good place to learn arts, and like summer cottage life which brings a contact with the nature and traditional kind of practical life. So the books that oen borrows are either from those subjects, good books in them, or get compared with such well liked good quality choices, and so one makes better choices, whether it is history or travel or novels or whatever.
Also,sometimes it is good to read books that one values but some other days are not so good, do not give rise to such a high level of skill and insight, such well running hobbies, and so at such days one ought to borrow some more basic book yet good quality, so as to repair the skill level of oneself and of one's living environment kind of via social influences back to the normal and even good quality, and likewise borrow something like nature books that are good for wisdom of life and good life and good possibilites of life generally, together with a nature hobby that is, for example looking and admiring the magnifient beauty of birds and trees, and so maybe after a day or two the situation ought to be different and one can choose again.
D22. 27th of August 2020 For possibilities of life the town that one lives in matters a lot. What are it's main attractions, it's location, it's favourite and main professions? What is it's culture like, which values, ways and skill level it has, do you like it? For those it is easy there to get room to and to learn about those things there. http://picturesfrommyhome.blogspot.com and http://todreamjob.blogspot.com
As far as I know Russian tsar when he ruled was an individual interested
in the upbringing of children and in getting people to do their work in
a good quality way and to carry responsibility as parts of the nation.
For that purpose when the tsar travelled he did or bought something done
in a good quality way or otherwise so that it would make the local
people do work in a good qualiuty way, use their own understanding and
carry responsibility as parts of the nation - and this oughty to have
been so that they in turn would have got other similarly to the right
tracks for the nation to work well and people be healthy happy and
free´ina civilized way. But I guess that this meant that the tsar did
not have much power to command, more likely to listen to what
professionals and wise people with common sense say. And the big things
like trans-Siberian railway were propably the needs of the time by the
opinion of many professionals and tsar was just the figure head in them,
in a good quality way so as to get the nation to work well. And as such
it maybe does not matter so much that he is not in power, but it
disturbs the nation a lot if such deeds are opposed and not valued.
Children upbringing is important for the nation and for the wide world,
for the people themselves, for their happiness and possibilites in life,
for what the society develops to in what comes to the quality of life
and the skill level and wisdom in use.

D25. 29th of August 2020 These advices are about skills that I have found useful in life, but the gnome tale figure is somewhat misleading since it unifies softening with happy ways of doing, which is somewhat a contradiction, since happy or joyful ways of doing usually demand that one has freely chosen best ways of doing from several alternatives, which is typical when one does not need to choose only the softest alternatives. On the other hand these advices tell about the value of following feelings, so that such a goal does not disturb things done.
D27. 2nd of September 2020 "One ought not keep company to atmospheres. Keeping company like to humans makes one's rythm of life much the same as of the other person. On the other hand the atmosphere of for example of a tree near the tree is beautiful, when one separately conceives where is tree's atmosphere and where open space, and goes past the tree near by so that there first is open space, then at the shelter of the tree and then continues onwards, to life, to open space or maybe to other trees and forward, more like in a sporty way and like in cool than like with a full stomach and position oriented ways.
The effect of food to rythm is partly a consequnece of bodily functions needing time, partly a need for some kind of pause. And partly a consequence of keeping company to others who eat."
From my Finnish blog http://harmaahapset.blogspot.com
D28. "Oath like love" in the header refers to a way of life that is so good that one loves it and at the same time would not change it to something else since it is the best, and so one's love for the way of living is at the same time a practical choice that one would not give up and that one would fight for and work for. Such can be at least for some part of one's way of life also dream job that one loves with natural healthy love and values and would not change to some other job. Healthy ways of living are such, the nature offers such, a good understanding with feelings and wisdom of life seeks to offer such and Kalevala is a book fromwhich to learn about such. That is something to do wqith fracturelessness, with ages old best choices and high ideals that are healthy in spirit. Kalevala teaches about making such choices, and the song Tein minä pillin pajupuusta teaches some glimpse of such quality.
D29. If one in these modern times has some problem with publicity, like feeling that many would like to ask the same question, a good way to solve such tasks is in my opinion to write it into the internet in a clear way at a general level for a wide audience all over the world, and not mention some details that could cause misunderstanding when for example boys read them and grasp them. Like for example the instructions for a gnome hat are in A1., except that there is one letter spelling error there and the instructions are short. For sewing instructions generally, read the third text of this blog http://learntalents.blogspot.com . Good quality is important in such since it is very public, yet can be personal and mostly anyoen can read it.
D30. 3rd of September 2020 There is a much liked old Finnish Christmas song called En etsi valtaa loistoa, "I am not seeking for power or glory" that tells of the value of things themselves and of wisdom of life instead of grasping only tool like things.
"I am not seeking for power or glory
I am not seeking for power or glory,
I am not searching gold either.
I beg for heaven's light
and peace upon the Earth.
It brings Christmas which brings happiness
and lifts spirit up to god.
Not power nor glory
but instead peace upon the earth.
Allow me a peaceful hut
and children's Christmas tree.
The light of god's words
in which my soul gets lighter.
Bring to homes, also to small ones
now Christmas celebration sweet.
Light of god's word
and some nobleness of mind.
To the poor and to the rich too
comes Christmas lovely.
To the darkness of the world
bring heaven's light.
I want you, I wait for you
you master of earth and heaven.
To the poor and to the rich
bring your sweet Christmas!"
(my translation)
D31. 7th of September 2020 If you have difficulties to get room to live in, invest in ways that have healthy spirit (since otherwise it does not give you room to live in) in the official main current of the society and of the groups that you associate with, the main currenty that has been said aloud and that is civiliced, some kind of wisdom of life. Sometimes it is just a little and sometimes much, depending on the subject, but it is how people think that one ought to live in the society and when associating with their gorup, so that it gives room to live in.
D32. "The cahrm of a recording like an original recording comes from it giving
room to things themselves. Instead of filming just about everything
that appears to have a chance of success in the media, having manyfold
amount of those things in one's life, having them in a spirited way,
with skills and life skills backing themup, and using only tiny fraction
of what appears to be good enough quality, so that the recording is
just some glimpse of some richness of life and some areas of life of
which there is lot to offer in practice for a wide group of people, and
preferably for animals too since pets can rise some quality and skill
and enthusiasm, some liked things to higher, more magnifient looking
level, ordinary pets that is, not overused." https://ohjeitabloggaamiseen.blogspot.com/2020/09/original-recordings.html
D33. 8th of September 2020 As far as I know all cultures do not emphasize the sense of atmospheres as much and some even don't quite understand what an atmosphere is. But it seems that all do have atmospheres and often observe them even though they may use some different words to refer to them. An atmosphere usually is a landscape of life in the living like for example what is typical for a certain time of the day, like a morning atmosphere for example and in it emphasized what works well for life, like for example if all else is badly often good food though has a pleasant atmosphere. An atmosphere describes rythms, sounds, major elements, typical light, beautiful features, things that touch feelings, life in the living like we experience it and value it. Merely going intellecta´ually through something without wanting to live in connection with such values typically does not have a good atmosphere. While moments of being drown in some action that one likes have a string atmosphere, are life that one reaches for, are fractureless for the individual. Being drown in some experience means that one observes it strongly and so atmospheres often affer very sure thinking.

D37. 13th of September 2020 This is the 300th numbered entry of this text about learning the skills of Christmas gnomes, so I guess that it is a natural place to end the gnome skills text, especially since I do not feel like having anything more to write about the subject. I have just sometimes under the Christmas made Christmas preparations assuming the Christmas gnome role, and read two books about gnomes, and seen Christmas gnomes in postcards, celebrated Christmas and sung Christmas songs...
Have a Peaceful Christmas and a Happy New Year 2021!

C4. The wooden bird with somewhat Eurovision song contest like style has the style of spring with in mind the thought what if I too could make music, for example sing from my heart. But I made the dark brown bird before I watched the Eurovision song contest the same day, and the light brown birds during that song contest week.

What fits well together with a gonme like way of working, of doing the chores of one's dream job or at least a job that one likes, is the traditional view of the task of banks as upkeepers of the prosperity in the society and in the world.Investing in valuable things, doing work that produces better life, doing things in meaningful ways, having skills in using the money, succeeding in buing and in building and otherwise using the maney that one has, even if it is small money. Not thinking of large figures as numbers only (is the money from abroad or from not valued work if it is just numbers?) but instead of as the valuable things that produce good life in the society, much like is the idea in having pictures of famous highly valued things in paper money.
C7. In caring for the affairs of the world Finns have often wished for international negotiations, which has typically caused that the people negotiating are not interested in such a minor place's views. But if we Finns ourselves are interested in Finnish views, we can invest work in those subjects and produce ready material about how to solve things in the Finnish ways, so that if need arises, such answers exist and there is material that one can read and use them, for example here in the north. So there is no need in that for Finns to manage to rule the world but instead it is a question of offering volutary labour here in Finlandand having ready solutions in matters of interest here in the north.
C8. In skills how detailedly right you get depends on what kinds of visual stimuli you have and have lately had. If you look at empty rooms with walls and floor of even colour and maybe a table or so but without things to look at deatiledly like nature decorations for example, you get things only roughly right and if you need to choose between options, you get it only roughly or vaguely right. But if you have wandered on a path in a park and admired the beauty of nature and if then the things you do have natural detailed sturcture like for example a fallen tree branch as a woodworks material, you at the same time as you move your hands in shaping the wood you see it's natural structure, its patterns, and slight movements of your hands are easy to discern compared to the patterns next to them, and so you have a sense of atmospheres too and so you can discern between different ways of doing and so you learn new skills all the time. And such is the usefulness of natural materials and nature decorations even if you do something else next to them or right afterwards. Music has often a similar good side.
C9. 24.2.2020 Quite many traditional things are such that it depends on your approach whether you find them to your life or not. Quite many people know them but them demands skills and peace and so you need to be motivated toward them to find them to your life, at least it is often so. If you bypass something just by noticing the central features, it is likely that you find only the present day main things in it. But if there is more life to it and different areas of life, then it may be that if you search with your heart you can find something of interest, somethiung rhat suits your life. But cultivating it demands dedication and peace and adapting your life to such goials instead of to the most obvious, and such means somer different social group to belong to. Like this you can maybe find nature and place to live in, if you search from a wider area something qyuite common there.
If you ask, why does it need to be quite common, the answer is that it works out as a part of your life better as such than as somethings pecial, over which there is a competition and so it lacks many of the good sides it ought to have or needs continuous fighting. If it is some nature view, much nicer is if there is similar fascination widely around there, if you use that as a criterion of where to live or where to spend frr time. If you belong to some group with similar interests and similar ways of living, you find support and shelter from it. If you are of a different kind, like often is if you have not yourself chosen the town where you live because of it's attractions, (12th of May 2022, it's spirit in this respect ) then there maybe is some option in principle but not in practice, like if there is some sports possibility but the locals are not inclined toward sports and so it does not work and no-one cares to repair it and take care of it.
C10. ""Spring cleaning
When you get a spark of enthusiasm of spring, you can
among other things tidy and make things nice at hiome so that you are
along with the season with a happy mood. But in April one is usually
forceless, so one has energy and good mood with which to leave things
joyful mostly in March and May. It is customary to wash windows in the
spring when sunshine shows the dirt in them. In February at the
spring side of winter it is good time to go through places that one
hasn't had the energy to tidy for months. In March sunny days it is nice
to clean in ordinary ways and to make places nice for spring. In April
one does not tidy so much but one ought to live quite speedily and
soften home in some ways by making places nice if the landscape behind
the window is strenously grey. In May one already makes home nice for
summer." http://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html
Please observe! This means enthisiasm about the spring, not about the
tidying itself. Like: "It was so nice outdoors. The spring is already
here! How can it be like this indoors? Wait a moment, I will tosss these
aside and wash this table with a few round strokes,so that it is more
like spring here in too. Now, look how much better! What if we should do
this to a few other places too? If we just have the energy to it." " https://picturesfrommyhome.blogspot.com/
Thinking of peoples cooperating in Eiuropean ways, in harmony of individuals and cultures
Thinking of the Eurovision song contest brought this subject to my mind, aversion of singing in a choir.
(Quotation added later, 8.3.2020 :)
"26th of February 2020 I was thinking of åepåle living in harmony in a
way that is reflected in singing in a choir, or learned from it, and
thought of people from different continents singing, but I do not know
what it affected that it was just a thought.
There are three parts in this: 10/4 theory, 8/4 practice and 8/4 ideals.
Was thinking of the harmony of the choir, not nedessarily of it's melody.Could it work out as chords accoimpment?
C15. "Just a monet ago it for the first time in my life came to my mind that
the British maybe do not like rainy weathers. I have written about the
seasons in Finland and in that there are some pieces also about
pleasant rain: some melodies and a part in the summer part and maybe
something in teh autumn part too, but I am not sure of that.
For finding a weather pleasant it helps to recognize what kind of
weather it is, kind of detailedly like in arts, and adjust some major
factors like heat production, clothes & shoes, how long one is
outdoors, how quickly one moves, what one does outdoors, what are the
things indoors in between which you are outdoors, how much one looks
at what and how much one uses the sense of beauty, and the sense of
atmospheres, in which ways one is social in that weaher, how much one
is separate from the weather and how much along it for example feeling
it suiting one's character, what ways of living, moods and who enjoy
each weather, for example slight rain with sun shining, and how long
that experience lasts for them and is it a part of the fascination of
the area they live in. And so find the option in each that is good for
the weather in question for you and for your day today anbd it's
social relationships who too each have their weather skills and
attitudes."
C16. 1st of March 2020 Some years ago I sent this letter to Africa:
"
Fitting thinking and feelings together
About good wise ways to think:
All our observations, which form our thinking ability, are not simple
mechanical. Many of our wisest thoughts are on a more emotional
philosophical insightful way of looking at things. How to keep these
both kids of truths in harmony:
Each feeling marks some things important in our own life, in the
society or in the world at large. The task of feelings is to motivate
our practical action into safeguarding these things. So each feeling
corresponds to a thought: "This thing is important in life!". This
way, as our thinking tells why objectively these things are important,
emotional truths find an expression in schooled kind of objective
thinking.
All of the tough value-free dynamics are based on what functions, i.e.
on what is healthy. In man-made things this corresponds to well
functioning, well planned and rationally used in the light of one's
whole picture of the world. The healthy is what our nature guides us
towards: toward the healthy we feel natural healthy love. So the
world, all it’s tough dynamics is based on the healthy, which we love.
On a flowery language: “The World Is Of Love!”.
Typically complex problems involving whole societies, but also other
kinds of problems, get solved via: Healthy natural ways of living and
the state of the world healthy. Build in your mind a picture of the
ideally healthy world. Compare other options to it with the help of
the principle “Healthy works better than broken.”.
In our nature there are encoded our principles of functioning: The
most natural on all areas of life while having a good holistic picture
of the world, functions the best: gives most capacity, intelligence,
social wisdom, well working social bonds, well working society, a good
position in it fairly, best state of the world, most happy life, etc.
The most healthy and natural is the most well working and harmonical.
It is also the most beautiful and touching: as music, as art, as
social communication, as truths and ideals,…
A wider attention can handle more things and handle them without
errors, so religious sensitivity, friendly compassion, love of the
nature, leisurely voluntary labour for some good cause in a group of
pals and holidays can increase one’s intelligence to manyfold. If one
way of thinking that you can use, can predict all the outcomes of some
other way of thinking of yours, then the one which observes more is
the more intelligent one and worth picking.
Many try to solve problems by trying what they can build from the
available parts. Religion solves problems in a much better way by
solving them solution centeredly:
First an idea of the ideal, which is like building instructions for
the whole solution.
Then an atmosphere according to it and a landscape of the situation
according to that atmosphere, which gives a practical holistic view of
how to arrange things in order to reach the ideal.
Then practical action in your own life according to that landscape and
atmosphere, reaching for that ideal. And trying friendlily and
idealistically to get others along for a good cause.
Thinking of the whole makes you solve most problems of application
already before you meet them. If you think of only the problem at
hand, you leave your relationship to the wide world unsolved and so
you run into extra problems and lot of more work which you could have
avoided via using a holistic perspective in planning.
Typically in thinking you eed two pictures: 1) the world is
objectively like this, all it’s phenomena and structures like this,
and 2) my life is like this, these are my wishes, this is my wisdom of
life and this is howI am going to live.
The healthy is what working ability and intelligence is build on. It
is also what gives us happiness. It is the natural direction in our
lives and in the world. The thought “I love Life, happiness and things
positive for happy life – like most of the others, like You too! So I
take them as my values in the world at large…” gives so happiness,
friendly social life and the most well working prosperous working
life.
With each phenomenom of the world it is good to think what it means to
life: “children, free time, catastrophes,…” and feel accordingly.
These objective feelings in one’s picture of the world motivate one to
the wisest practical action easily and in well understood sincerely
felt ways."
C17. 2nd of March 2020
"A few years ago around Christmas I heard from somewhere - or
misunderstood? - someone saying that she had chosen to have Christmas
year around, that one can well choose so. My Christmasses haven't been
so very good but I like Christmas preparations and the idea of arranging
things good for life. So I kind of took it as one thing to figure out
part time how one could have somewhat Christamas like good sides in life
in different times of the year. Christmas itself is for winter and for
surviving the darkest time of the year, and for learning winter skills.
But on other times of the year one can similarly find good ways to live
those seasons and weathers, those views to life and the world. And one
can in the middle of work like things to do find also something that is
some mixture of comfortable and active, good for feelings. And a kind of
freedom to be an individual, have hobbies, favourite professions,
interests in the wolrd. And a mixture of making home good for living,
enjoyable and going out to the world, having healthy spirit and healthy
kind of versions of things, joy oflife, even though I think that joy is a
characteristics of the more sporty life, which I long for."
C18. I had a dog, a white Japanese spitz boy, that somehow on the spiritual side via some mental connection with other animals helped the ill animals and somewhat also humans. And he said that there seems to be life after death, life that is often much like the life before death but some major factor like who are one's closest relationshipms, where one works or where one lives, had to change, for example an adult child to grow up from his parents, and if there was no other way for it to happen, the person had to die and from him/her maybe the closest relationships died or moved away or got a new wife or whatever. He said that there is a place for each but sometimes times change and there is no such place in the same place anymore, and so one has to move to new kind of life jsut where one happens to find a place for oneself.
C20. 3rd of March 2020
I wonder if a good atmosphere somewhere like as if there were gnomes, is a question of there being some factor that carries in itself life to good life there, like nature and hobbies and maybe some culture that one likes are. And one comes across it in the middle of some other thing in life and it is refreshing and it is from the point of view of middle of action and it is though fractureless there anyway and so it offers energy and good life and a touch of something ages old.
If the world sometimes seems too tough to allow well beautiful things
and peaceful life according to feelings, pay attention to structures,
look so that you see at the same time both the concretical structure
that is important from the point of view of tough realism and of how
things work in practice, and at the same time see the finer structure of
the things, their atmospheres too, so that you know what they are like
for skills and for life. So you can choose goo´d structures and your
choices are good for skills too and for living your life and for life in
the society and in the world, anmd so you can choose accprding to
feelings, live a life according to feelings at the excuse of havimng
followed tough realism."
C22. My paradise theory book, please bladdre it through! http://www.angelfire.com/planet/paradisewins/2013paradise.rtf C23. 7th of March 2020 "About foreign interests If a place is small and foreign interests many and mighty, there comes
the question how to arrange things. Generally then one has to pay
attantion to the different interest groups, to what they need, and in
civiliced ways arrange such things on one's own behalf for those groups
separately or if works well as some bunches, and especially for one's
own groups. That means that one must maybe arrange such things also
elsewhere, support some other groups whiuch arramge such, often abroad
and in different professions etc. For example all material like suits
one's own group in civiliced ways, but having specific occasions in
which the other groups are taken tinto account. And if they ask for
something else, refer that to the groups which arrange such, poften
abroad, like for example travel is different from actors introducing
basic areas of life in their own coutrnry, and documents telling of them
in reality."
C24. 9th of March 2020
Gnomes are a traditional part of Finnish Christmas and Christmas is by far the biggest celebration of the year. Gnomes are a part of the whole December, of making Christmas preparations and of the Christmas itself. Christmas gnomes, which are often the family's children, help Santa Claus in bringing the presents.
C25. 11th of March 2020 Travel to fascinating places with a spirit pf their own maybe depends on whether you have chosen the destination(s) right, by their fascination.
C26. But you can find some version also nearer, for example in some nice free time area near by.
"Meditation
Sometimes when you have a moment or two extra time and you spend it
wandering and looking around, those moments feel like a richer time,
rich with experience, multiple sensations and feelings. That is like
meditation i.e. a way to happiness and skill. Those richer moments have
something to do with it being just a few moments and not some long
lasting labour. Something to do with it being like a twinding path from
one experience to another, then to next ones and so on. A way to happier
life if you can find it."http://happinesstipsblog.blogspot.com/
C27. 12.3.2020 Generally if one has some energy left one can choose in which ways one associates with things, emphasizing some things and some things carrying with wisdom of life, taking distance like feels best and keeping a moment's enthusiasm by not lingering too long in one subject, so that one gets a more pleasant experience and can get energy from the enjoyment and from healthy ways of living. This is maybe clearest about one's experience of the weather somnehérw where there is nature. One can similarly learn from rock music in the radio: how it suits the weather and the chores of the day.
C28. 13.3.2020 One way to be left in peace for a while is to eat good food so that one is warm and satisfied. People usually leave room for such. If there is a civiliced good-willing social custom in the society, following such and suporting it with having eaten warmly good food often calms down aggressive malicious people too. I guess they come think without it being mentioned that such is what they themselves need right then. Civiliced ways as a custom and valued professions are like shared hobbies and values and make it easier to get along with more distant persons whi share the same values.
C29. 14th of March 2020 The old Japanese poet Basho wrote books with stories that have poems in between about the same subjects, and so one can learn to read poems. Those at the same time teach some concretical view of using the senses and living practical life that is good for understanding how ordinary famous old poems are of good quality both intellectually and in what comes to quality of life, happiness. Poems fit well together with life that has enjoyable sports, nature, rock music in the radio, practical life, civiliced wisdom, something worhwhile to do in the world and moral & a quest for wisdom of life and a life according to feelings and one's best understanding, healthy natural life according to the ages old human nature and wishing well in the world.
"Old pond.
Frog jumps,
sound of water."
C30. 15th of March 2020 Using in one's life the point of view that a human being is by one's nature a being that lives in societies and that one wants a good society to live in, often solves away society level problems, since if it is used on a general level it creates an easy way for the different kinds of groups to cooperate in a society for a better world.
C31. 19th of March 2020 Civiliced wisdom offers answers that are theoretically looking best and worked well in practice, so that even if one does not know the situation, they typically work out well. It is often so that answers look different in style than problems, one kind of catches a different view of the situation and learns tyo cure things to normal.
People have many kinds of wisdom. Investing in just one kind of answers does not bring as good effect as trusting different areas of life.
C32. 20th of March 2020 If you love some area of life and have a good touch with it so that you could have it as your work, how often did it happen that after some age you got no chance to it, almost at all, and especially not as work? Can it be that even if you were young and with not so much experience, maybe you were a forefigure in it for an enermous number of people and maybe animals? People and animals likelearning all kinds of things in life and hearing about wise things in the world and nice things etc. So maybe in spirit you were not at all alone but instead for a wide audience, like and elderly person with wisdom of life maybe to all younger ones, in the world can it be, or in similar cultures? And so your place is with that audience's support and not as someone who just happens to wants to do such.
C33. 24th of March 2020 If a person who likes some work, hobby, chores at home or traditional life is in some classification gnome like, there are very many gnome likepeople in the world, maybe as many as all human kind. Plus animals of course. So there are very many types of gnomes, like there are different cultures, places, interests, types of persons and ways of doing. So all gnomes are not alike and they do not deserve the same feedback and often not the same classifications.
This kind of gnome here in my texts is in the tough world. It isn't like a young person sheltered from the world by parents or people who like him/her or admire him/her. Maybe someone can get such shelter too, but the idea here is to find a place for oneself and for good life in the toguh world, even if one isn't the smaller one in the unwise shelter of others. But it is very much like a worker having found one's place in teh society and the society working well.

"The Nätki suburb I live in the countryside town Savonlinna in eastern Finland has a fascination of it's own. It is much like a "Huaah!" like feeling instead of work as a burden, like is fit for a holiday travel destination and free time. I guess that mnay would like to learn these good sides and adopt them where they live, but not all.
* local newspaper that tells about the local highlights and no work magazines etc
* food shop that values comfortable ways and good quality fit for arts
* food helps to put work aside and brings room for free time
* religion
* music but choose instrument or CD player with a quiet sound so that you do nto disturb neighbours
C36. 30th of March 2020 When ants build thier pile like nest from pine needless, they understand about the differencies of needless and about building and the end result is atmospheric, well working and comfortable for them, and sonce it lets some light through propably beautiful too. Could it be that in building or arranging indoors humans too ought to have lots of material or things that are somehow atmospheric, good old time things or the like, so that when you place something somewhere, for example a wooden bench with the wood patterns in sight, it is at some end at the shelter of other things, a beautiful nice comfortable place there for someone to sit, a place of it's own kind andf natural charm of that place, naturally born, and at other places similarly, tha characteriustics of the places and of the things around create different kinds of fascinations and different kinds of spaces with different possibilities of using them to chores etc.
C37. 1st of April 2020 If life after death exists and is much like the life before death, so that one cannot say who died and who did not but instead people live at the same time as some others and at different time or different world than some others. It seems that for a person there is some space to live in and if that space ends the person dies, but in the life after death the person is in some space that is somehow suited for him/her, so that it is the same kind of life but some factor changed. So also one's own strategy of lofe affects what happens: did one choose a good benefical good willing civiliced (in civiliced wisdom there are the good answers to life's and world's questions that people want to teach to all the younger generation) that is good for possibilities of life, or not and dies sooner? So one could maybe choose with whom one'slife is synchronized and via civilized good will live so without big problems, and maybe also choose so with whom one is not synchronized and live separately as if in different worlds or at different time. Choosing profession, place to live in and other big choices in life also affect similarly: what kind of environment one lives in, whom one associates with and in what professions are they, which countries' cultural influencies one personally gets.
C38. 2nd of April 2020
C39. 5th of April 2020
When one thinks of how difficult it is to find fractureless old time things and live with such good sides in one's life nowadays, has one taken into account how global the world nowadays is? It is not enough to cultivate the good things of life and of the culture just from the points of view of one's own countrymen and of the neighbouring countries, but instead ne needs to tell of them to all the world, to those interested in this place and culture, who share the same fascination but are from very far away places, from all the continents: How exotic, would you like to live there? Some want to do so and so they travel and are content with their new place, it's ways and values, but they do not know that everything from all their age since child´hood and school, but instead need to learn them as new things, as things to value, as things that one can find here, as parts of the culture specialiced to living just here.And a part of the protection comes fromsimilar ways and values, similar nice things in life being possible also elsewhere, being valued in the wide world by some larger group.
C40. 6th of April 2020 Some things exist only sometimes or at least flourish only sometimes, when the environment is good for them, like for example things that need a big group doing it like singing in a group and having the peace for it, others supporting it. Likewise religion gets support from the company of others, from others sharing the same values and things done, and so it is quite natural that Sunday can be a more religious day than weekdays.For such to work the things done have to be valued and usually liked by most or all, while if you want to do something that is not so widely valued and liked, you have to do it on your own, as your personal characteristic even if it is superfine and skilled, since there just isn't the audience for it and fascination with it.
C41. 12th of April 2020 Eastern Sunday
If there isn'tmuch left of old time's things, some manage to live on their remaints without it being so much a road for others to follow too. Often some things exist only for some and not for others and the difference is whether they are like such persons that have such inclination and skills all the time and are nice to have along. There is a difference if you straightforwardly always look at things at hand from the point of view of certain areas of life, or if you have to make a new start to see them from that point of view, since such is a difference of professions. Also someone liking not-so.fine things may find it easy to find a place for oneself if there isnät much of such to offer, whole someone liking just recommended things mayube doies not find a free spot. Also not being a burden to others matters. Also it matters if one has a theory perspective with which to offer such to others too, especially to the younger generations and to people with such a hobby/dreams, even though that isn't exactly the same as others finding a free spot for themselves too, but such can help to recreate such possibilities in the society and somawhat in the world too.
C42. In social life there is shelter of like-minded people, of ordinary ways and of the same group's ways. If one does not have such company, one can find shelter from the ordinary wished for basic life in the society, especially if one lives via the ways of one's own group that is on wished for ways a member of the society. Some activities gain more shelter from others than some other activities. Easily classificable wished for things that are easy to understand and keep in control of the society like peaceful ways and tendency to discuss thinsg friendlily gain more support than things that scare others like sometimes sporty ways outside sports circles.
C43. 13th of April 2020 Eastern Monday
Many a dream and a dear hobby is fascinating and offers good life, but gets ruined if one thinks what if I could take this as my work, since a hobby gets supprt from all of one's life, of all kinds of things, while trying to make it one's work drops the other things away and makes always the same things in bored ways. This is what typically happens to those who would like to be painters or other artists and happens if you put too much extra time on your hobby, like for example some days in row instead of the ordinary an hour or two. Tiredness is one reason for it but the maiun reason is that there are too little other things in one's life, and that the hobby used to be their addition and not the other way around.

C46. "So what brings
safety to government officials?
Rationally grounded moral makes arrangements understandable also to
the selfish individuals and groups, see http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2013/04/rationally-grounded-moral.html
Basic view of bureaucrats is that bureaucracy serves to meet people's
needs fairly and according to common sense witha picture of the whole
and civilized wisdom.
Different professions gain safety if they are according to people's
wishes what they with wisdom wish the officials etc to be like. Like
singers should have wisdom of life, police behave according to common
sense and people's views on what kind of moral is ´good to have in a
society, etc.
The Finnish behaviour rule http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2012/10/live-and-let-others-live.html
solves conflicts between individuals, groups and countries. It also
makes government agreed about and law too, if it is placed above them
according to common sense, wisdom and wisdom of life, with a healthy

C47. 15th of April 2020
If there is a possibility to learn something from someone or to do things together, copying detailedly like an actor does not bring enjoyment of doing and usually is not good for the quality of life. Instead one ought to keep much more social individuality and do in one's own ways, just enjoy the company of a like-minded person or his/her support with even more distance. Like, if one learns from bored worker, one gets better enthusiams if one makes one's own version of the things as an eager beginner, and later too keeps one's own views, since mist things do not suit others when copied detailedly, but many things suit many if people make their own versions of them, wioth their own motivation and wisdom.
C48. Safety is among other things a question of what is your caliber compared to that of others if the others do not have much social eye, like enemies often do not have: are you a person that does not fight, like a cushion, or are you a person to take into account like adult persons typically are if they have normal capacity and experience of life, or are you somehow very strong. Some attack only the ill etc, since they may want to attack many. So it matters a lot to be physically fit, with good capacity and healthy. On the other hand a fight is not the only type of encounter you can have, even though it is more likely if you are very weak or very threatening. Persons sharing the same values get better along, persons liking the company of the other one get better along, persons liking doing the things at hand get better along, persons who get wished for support in nice ways from the other one get better along with each other, persons whose characters have a benefical effect on each other get better along with the things at hand too, persons whio value good life often get better along with others and with life.
C49. I was wondering if people's longing for magnifient looking things could be somehow transformed into leading to profound good quality things and healthy spirit with good quality of life, happiness. If magnifient looks and style consist of features parts of the ages old healthy natural ways of living which touch us deep inside. Then they couldget increased profoundity and meaningfulness by searching for what would be ages old and healthy natural in those respects and cultivating such. And that would be made possible in opractice by cultivating healthy spiurit and healthy ways of living and doing. And so one would end uyp magnifient, profound and happy, with healthy spirit.
C50. 21th of April 2020
There is a viewpoint, an approach that teaches lots of skills of living and wisdom. It is being very much an individual, with healthy spirit and sporty and being thoroughky convinced that it is always good to live in ways that are good to have in a society. Old times life was much like that but some in the tropics, some acting and some too stuck with memorized knowledge do not like such ways around, since they are not that healthy in spirit and sporty themselves, but they maybe could learn such skills too via learning the weathers from the atmosphere of trees: variations of rythm like suits the moment, and that is near the touch I write about here.
C51. In learning skills using that skills always according to common sense or only sometimes when it is easy, brings in the long run a big difference in how skilled one is in that, since the extra work one sometimes needs also teaches extra skills and it also teaches about what one can use that kind of skills in the world and to which things one needs other skills. So it makes one much more like a professional in that.
On the other hand easiness can be a mark of a good tactic, while cumbersome ways of doing usually decrese one's skill level much and bring bad habits, make one more stupid. So a challenging task is a different thing from working hard with poor tactic.

Two days ago my poodle who likes very much to read the local newspaper,
buried his nose in the paper and mentioned Egyptian dogs which wrapped
themselves in papyrus, like insects in a flour jar.
Now it came to my mind could it have been easier for the Egyptians to
start writing if they had told of animals: of the holy insects which
taught us to write?

C53. If it has just rained snow and one talks with people that one knows about the snow, often all give a different impression of what kind of snow it was, as if they had experienced it in different ways since their heat regulation was different and their characters differ too, and because they were in different places at somewhat different times. But could there be another explanation: that the weathers are poersonal and depend on your attitude, as if the world were of spirit. Like in ordinary rain you walk more heavily than usually, as if somewhat depressed, since the light is dim and rain somewhat heavy too, and at the same time you walk lightly since the weather is good for plants and just a natural ohenomenom, nothing to wonder much. Or that when you think of only positive things the sun more often shines. So maybe you create your own experience of the weather or maybe the weather gets tuned to just you and your socvial contacts. So that also the global warming could be seen in a different light in such a world. When I was a young adult, iun the city center it sometimes rained a mixture of water with snow, while where people lived the landscape was snowy.

Each person gets via one's social eye impressions and influence from others' ways of living and doing, what they at the moment do. Such is meant to be observed via the sense of atmospheres, kind of as a part of the landscape that one is in, and as such it brings information and is a a pleasant experience. It is not meant to be followed like an advice or like keeping very much company, even though such errors arise if someone is much clumsier/stupid than you but wants tod ominate since their coordination is not enough for taking such things into account in a natural way and so they just keep sompany in some way amnd are often so even clumsier.

An attempt at unwoundedness when shot
C56. If many places nowadays are more fractured and full of fighting than in the old good times when things were more peaceful and fractureless, can it be that it is at least partly a question of how the media, books etc tell about those areas, since if one looks at a documentary abotu some place and is then forced to describe that place's culture to others, it brings only a little information and if one is forced to tell more, it is just guesses and in vain, something which could cause the present situation. Like if in the Eurovision Song Contest the songs seek to offer something instead of being typical to the country they are from, it's typical life so that one could learn it's culture, with some videos etc too, but instead all in the same style and seeking to answer some foreign demand, or to offer other copntinents a possibility to something like European culture, so that the version isn't any more a picture of ordinary European life.
C57. "Now I noticed that my poodle banjo has thought that if we will get another dog, like he wishes, my poodle ought to have only half of the space I have reserved for it. But it isn't so. If one has enough energy for another dog, it is a joy, brings it's own energy, it's own fascination, builds it's own space, if one's life has time and energy for it. It isn't lacking from the other dog, or then one ought not have two dogs at the same time. But it can happen that they do not fit together, and then one ought to keep them more separately, more individually, or then one cannot keep them both. But when I had a Japanse spitz and this poodle, on a walk my poodle part of the time run in circles and archs while my Japanese spitz wanted to be cuddled by all elderly fat aunts that walked past us. They did not have the same needs and not the same things they offered, each one had their own place and when there was a cinflict of needs, one needed to protect both's space for living, freedom to good life and to taking part in life, to one's own individual way to live." ...
I canme to think would it be easier with kids if they had a more free position: would be like charactyers of the type they wish for and that fit into the society, and not just social relationships answering in some discussion to what is your opinion. My poodle learn to be an excellent thinker, when I praised him for what he did well and told him that he had enermous potential, taight him my thinking course (a landscape like view that observes structures,see http://quickerlearning.blogspot.com ) but did not follow detailedly it's thoughts, just praisen it for fine views."

C58. "Increased need for sleep can be a way to adjust wisely to things. It demands first letting go of things and healthy overnight sleep so that one is rested and refreshed, and then one should rise from the bed and eat breakfast and preferable go out too so that one starts the day in an roughly ok way. And only then one can dream and adjust to things burdening one's mind. Dreaming is different from sleeping. In dreaming you lie comfortably as if going to sleep or like in the summer time leisurely in a garden swing, and so adjust to things which demand adjusting to like changes in life or challenges to rise up to. Each such situation usually has a starting level that isn't enough high, and one ought to form for oneself and for to help others too via social communication, a picture of how to lift the level on each area oif life at a time to what it ought to be for things to go well, like civiliced, with wisdom of life, having healthy spirit, healthy eways of living, with insight, according to feelings, listening to wisdom, fractureless and by it's shape fractureless like lying or summer holiday giuve a chance to . Ad after that stay for a whilke well for the feelings and cultuvcating fracturelessness, adjusting so that things get even more ideal form and that one gets used to such picture as one's usual view of those things. And then continuing to other things, to more active life since the thing has been handled. (If one cannot rest enough when one comes from work, do other things, at least something like watching tv or preferabvly go out and do other thingsm even talk about other things.)"

Here where I live in Savonlinna town, the apartment houses are three stories high and clearly lower than the trees by them and so the place has an atmosphere of as if sheltered by trees. Here are three apartment houses in a square that is open in the south-west side, and there is a forest patch between them and at the southern side of the houses, so trees also by the houses with birst singing in them. Next to the houses is a little bit of lawn and a yard road and some lawn also on the other side of it before the forest patch, so that also when it is dark it is safe to walk to the house. The forest patch is mostly pines, so that no one can hide there. But at the sides of the forest there are leaf trees, like is usual, which is more beautiful in the summer time and creates more a world of it's own of the forest patch. There goes a few paths in the forest. The road on the southern and western sides of the forest are under a slope and so the sound of cars are mostly not heard. A part of the yard is lawn for children to run and there are some swings and sand boxes for children. There is a parking lot on the outer sides of the houses and some trees there too, mostly by the road, and garbage shelters with roof in some more airy way, in more shadowy places. The distance to the neighbouring apartment houses that are somewhat similar but different ins tyle, is roughly twoce that to the road in between and so from the second and third floor on the north-western side one can see sunset behind the tree tops abocve the houses nearly every evening.
C60. 1st of May 2020 Very many people want to have somehow a stronger position than the people around them, and so it often happens that they somehow do not like others being strong, but on the other hand they like their own loved areas of life, and so they kind of create room for others too to have such hobbies, and on the other hand they then do not pay so much attention if you have other strenghts that they are not so interested in. Likewise one can find room and skills in the professions and cultures that others like, while one's own such likings are maybe seen as oneä's characyerm as one' sstyle. If one wants bigger improvements to life, the culture and organuized society offer them: for example jobs for beginners in many different kinds of professions, and different types of towns etc to live in, hobbies, interesting and nice people of different types etc.
The best way for objective thinking is to think by atmospheres.
They unify a pictorial objective holistic view with the wisdom of feelings.
Each observation is a sensation, an atmosphere tone.
The light coloured atmosphere tones we can express by high notes.
The darker and more down-to-earth atmospheres we can express as low notes.
Thus our observations form a song.
When we act, we have an emotional motivation for it.
That motivation is a melody. And action according to it is dance.
This dance appears to be dance in its basic form.
C62. In the news today I saw a picture of an old maybe northern Russian man with a raindeer in harness who had been transporting post packets during war time, kind of Christmas gnome like life but a very harsh view of just transporting artifacts in the war time in the winter cold.
C63. 7th of May 2020 Quite traditional kind of life in a static way and without much else, just boredom and always the same things to do often isn't so good life. One needs varied content to life, some beautiful philosophy that guides the world and life to better courses, I mean moral and wisdom of life and some deep wisdom. And also one needs motion like leisurely wandering, not being static, having the feeling of being alive, getting tuned to new situations and following wisdom of life, having an energy reserve with which to meet the varied needs of everyday life, and just having fullfilling hobbies that touch the ages odl nature of humans and animals.
Just an attempt, a not so good day for me. Last part watching nature outdoors. In parenthesis the keyboard.

Seeks to be something like having bought something but the fascination staying for a long time. Picking nice things to be centers of attention and content to life, like listening to music. Here in a picture from a year ago my favourite poems borrowed from library.
And I meant finding peace for one'sliving even if there are factors disturbing the atmosphere, like today is 75 years from the end of World War II.
C65. 10th of May 2020 There is a traditional Finnish character trait called "sisu" which means to try and try again and again so that one gets the task done, for example wandered some distance or succeeded in agriculture. It is often also about learningf things. It does not mean suffering, even though the situations can be difficult, but instead it means new beginnings with one's wisdom of life and with short pauses of rest in between. The main thing is to try again and thios time with a better wisdom of life. Wisdom of life is such that you find it when you lket go of habits and try in healthy ways and concentrate on healthy kind of influences like for example nature and civiliced wisdom and feelings with healthy spirit. Tiredness and getting stuck to habits may obscure such wisdom, but with a short pause, relaxing to rest and can get more energy and refreshed have a fresh view and so one succeeds better when one takes the healthy spirited ideals in everything to be one's guide.
C67. 19th of May 2020
One cannot learn civiliced wisdom from school books later on in one's life if one did not go to school at all, since civiliced wisdom ought to be the landscape one lives in, and if one starts only later on, it is just knowledge, not the picture of the world one lives in. Such happens too if the work load in school is too heavy and too unmotivated so that one just escapes from under it's message's way when one has the chance for that. School ought to give views to what the world is like in important respects and to wisdom of life, so that it is interesting and very motivated and becomes a part of how one sees the world, what one understands about life and wisdom of life.
C68. In school teachers used to say: (In school the idea is to study) not for school use but for life.
As a woman I have been delighted to see that many women have excellent
skills and dedication for their work. In the university female students
were often smarter than men. But such often happens when one is not
taking part in rigid ways but instead more freely uses skills from other
areas of life, like often happens when one is not so much raised to the
same role, to the same tasks, but instead comes from a different
background with high skills in something similar but not the same. On
the other hand I have not noticed power going to women via skills but
instead more via looks and some social estimates that do not go right.
One should not treat women as if women were martians and impossible to
understand. Women's characteristics are shown in women's looks just the
same way as men's characteristics in men's looks, but women are often
very different from men, so guesswork is not ok. One should just demand
professional skills and ¨good work ethic, and not confuse positions of
power with sex affairs. Power is a society level thing, while sex is a
thing at the level of social relationships, which of course are also
parts of the society and ought to not to break against the common good." http://mythoughtsaboutnews.blogspot.com/2020/04/about-women-power.html
C70. Only nice work is worth a lot
"
Good quality objective thinking is largely the same as looking at a landscape and
noticing the structures in it correctly.
In learning new things it is very important to be sincerely interested in the
subject: it opens us to notice a lot, strongly, clearly, remembering it well, with
common sense and one's whole picture of the world along.
Already from this one can see that in an interesting subject one notices more and
with better quality, and has more energy, and one so gets much more work done and
does not tire so easily.
Likewise emotionally motivated interests make one's attention better, even if they
were of free time subjects. In other words one gets wiser when living that way, if
C71. I agreed with the birds in the trees by my window that the next step from women power ought to be bird power: the power of the wise, of wisdom and wisdom of life. Some time later when the subject came to my mind, a bird in those trees sounded like the tuut tuut sound of the traffic lights, telling when to cross the street. It seemed to say that bosses' job is like that: there is power to command there but the task is very elementary, not varied. So it is: the task of a boss is mainly to keepthe basic job of the working place going, like for example the main tasks of education in schools etc, basic products in factories etc, and the more complex is just an addition or the task of an expert.
"I write here about paying bills, even though it is not studies or work.
But it anyway is a burden in theneck abd I have noticed that the reason
for that is that one does it wrong and not from paying bills itself.
So:
In paying bills the wortst forefigures for it are those who do it or
collecting payments for their work, since they discuss at lenght with
just the ones who have difficulties in paying bills, for example find it
very unpleasant or do not have the energy to try. In addition they do
overly much of it so that they are just fed up with it. Likewise tense
characters who claim to get overly well along with paying bills, maybe
get tensely along with it but copying from them makes others feel as if
ill, one would not bother since the good sides are personal
characteristics of others and not suited for all.
On the other habnd, if one pays bills that one agrees about, it does not
feel bad but just needed. If I for example want a magazine, I quite
easily pay that twenty euros in time, and I am left with a feeling that I
want the magazine, if I have the money for it.
But then if the magazine costs too much, for examle forty euros, I am
left to bonder if it is worth that, when my budget then won't have
anything left but for food, buss, electricity and of course rent. So
being careful with money, investing time and effort for being careful
with money, and making some kind of scetch for oneself about what things
to buy, for which cost, helps to keep paying bills pleasant.
Not at all nice bills used to be school books, when I did not want to go
to secondary school, my parents just forcved me to, and it sepnd more
money than my hobbies, the ways of life of which I would have wanted. So
for paying bills to be pleasant it demands for you to not to pay the
bills of others that you do not agree about. Or you can pay something
little, if the other one so wants, but no to ruin the whole budget by
something nasty.
Compulsory bills like phone and internet one would need to get cheaply,
so one is left in a good mood. Cheating, mistakes and extra pay because
of beibg late leave a not at all nice taste according to how much money
you lose that way. Like wise if you need to buy something extra to get
something you need, since you would not have liked to pay for the other
one, but such is forbidden in the law.
I used to keep book about my expences. It helps one to see what the
money disappeared into and where one could easily reduce the costs. It
just usually makes me wonder what I want to spend my money into, and so I
usually buy a music instrument, regardless of whether I have the money
for it or not." http://learntalents.blogspot.com
When you cook food or estimate the amounts of it's substances, and if
you have earlier cooked the same or something quite like it, then you
have an emotionally felt estimate of when it is fried or with which
amounts of substances, it would have been at it's best or just as
certain type at it's best. And when you take to be your guidelines
those emotionally felt estimates about time lenghts, cookedness, amounts
of food substancies, about which elements fit well together, etc, then
with the same amount of labour, time, money and foods you get better
food.
Likeise if you have skills in other skills, ten rythming your actions
according to emotionally felt estimates you can reac your best."
* * *
20.8.2018 I add here another cooking tip that is good for skills at large:
"264. If one does something in rigid ways as if work all the time, one's
understanding does not develop into as good as via more complex rich
ways of doing even the same work, much less than life skills at large
would give. That is why it would be good to instead of a very detailedly
followed single perspective, give room for a taste of life, for one to
see where one is going and for skills to develop. So for example when
moving food while cooking it one would not mix it to completely even but
instead leave it more uneven, so as to have in sight some of how one
worked, so that one can then notice that if I would have for example
cooked thicker, would the taste and feel have been better, so that there
is a richness of options in sight and one can see where in it would be
good, so that one learns all the time new things, even if otherwise one
would not have learned anything else otherwise than remembering past
times and comparing to them in one's memory, but at those time maybe one
needed different amount of different kind of food because od´f
different things done, weather etc." http://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2018/01/healthy-ways-of-living-and-doing.html
C74. 21st of May 2020 Gnome like things are tied to the place and culture amnd to who lives there. The place gives rise to certain kinds of situations which have certain good answers that the culture there cultivates, and so gnome like things of that type are possible there, tend to endure, are kind of alive and lively. If there is some other type of gnome likedness there, it maybe connects to who lives there, what are their needs, skills level in wisdom of life, etc, like for example children needing something to compensate school burden, to make it lighter, or if someone is ill or in a straining life situation, they too need something to compensate it with, to gain extra forces and refresshment. And what kind of free time fun tthey enjoy.
During the last hundred years or so the world has changed a lot, so that if it was said that in teh old times there were gnomes where people lived but that tjey died, it propably connects to changes in these factors there.
C76. 26th of May 2020 I wonder how I got stuck writing this long gnome skills text, now for over one and a half years, even though I write some other texts too. The Finnish piece of text that started this isn't much interesting for Finnish readers, neither are it's additions that this English texct brought to my mind. But for the English text there is some quite large demand abroad. I read a lot of books, borrow from the town library and bladdre through hundreds a year, much like postcards, often not fully but with much experience in reading boks it is yet something like having read a book. I used to borrow from Helsinki town library books about Buddhism and poetry, which I liked a lot, here in Savonlinna town library there aren't the same kinds of books but I like to read arts books and often borrow books about handiworks, nature, travel, history and foklore. I also write a lot: about hundreds of subjects each year. But I have tended to have some blog texts that become very long: the seasons, dream job, healthy ways of living, staying warm and curing. Of this gnome subject it is good that it is both fascinating life and offers good life via ages old healthy natural ways of living, in a way fitted to the modrn world and to many readers. I have also tried to solve environmental questions, have made some 200 attempts at that in my Finnish blog http://kokonaiskuvat.blogspot.com , which is possible via my experience in objective thinking skills, and it feels much more important than to continue this already overly long gnomeskills text: please click the links to interesting blogs, that's the way to read internet text, no idea in copying them all to the same text.
C77. 31st of May 2020 Is one reason for me writing this gnome skills text that some, especially as elderly, have learned to make some kind of softening to their social life and it seems to help a lot their life but they do not quite understand why, and I on the other hand tend to have rational explanations for things accordingt o feelings. I think that the reason is that people have different strenghts, different views to life and to the world, different likings, professions and cultures they like and tend to follow, etc. And so just discussing makes things too rid´gid to allow for the differencies between the people who discus, and so kind of bypassing reasons for argument, maybe tasting bakery instead and taking kind of insightful view that yes so could it be and so could these people be fine people, leaves much more room to the views and life of the other one, and so solves problems too.'
C78. People tend to turn to religion when they have problems that they themselves cannot solve with theirordinary means. But the reason they value religion and learned about it is typically that religion helps them to raise to higher skills and to keep up civilized values in the society. They also think that it has some kind of fracturelessness and fracturelessness is a thing to value since it is connected to health of practices and to the ages old human nature and to the living nature, to happiness, healthy spirit and a well working society. Like in other skills, in religion too some have those skills as memorised taught knowledge, while their own character is something else, and others may have a liking toward things like religion, and some have a personal insight to such skills but that is different from surely following civiliced wisdom in questions involving religion. So even if heart-felt religion and good will is taught to all and wished for, the reliable good willing civiliced behaviour & values in connection with religion is memorised behaviour for some and for some thier own liking.
C79. 3rd of June 2020 "603. The founders and important forefir´gures of different professions are typically by their basic tracks in life like that work's basic perspective and it's basic attitude, like for example the founder(?) of Kellog's rice crispies was by one's viewpoint like a good morning with rice crispies in a family with kids. Like if one in the summer time is on the edge of a lawn whern peopleplay some gameor some other hobby like that and decides to take part in it oneself too, get a spark of enthusiasm from them, likewise people with different works in successful ways have the spirit of theior work and offer it to others too. Since it is a question of the basic tracks of one's life, of the viewpoint from which one always tries to do something, something of the kind of one's work, it means that one does not have so many possible successful choices of work to do, maybe only a few."

C80. 5th of June 2020 A tale figure is not a good way to find space for oneself, since in human life the spaces for living are for humans and animals, for some gardens too etc, not for tales, not for people supposing they are like tales. The reality is much more interesting, from it the tales are born, it is rich with possibilities and with things to experience. I have never had a gnome like space for myself in my social environment, but I have had hobbies and interesting things to do, things I have enjoyed.
C81. 7th of June 2020 Sometimes when wandering in the nature kids find the atmospheric forms of hills, cliffs and vegetation by them to be like the forms and atmosphere of a sleeping giant gnome. But I do not believe it to be a giant gnome. Instead when one wanders to a nice forest patch, it has kind of round area with it's atmosphere and if it is comfortable like it often is, then it is somewhat like the atmosphere of a gnome from a Christamas tale. And if one climbs a cliff mostly covered with vegetation, one can wonder if there life mice etc there and is the place magnifoent looking for them, and it is also magnifient looking from the top of the hill, and maybe one can see an atmospheric cliff ridge continuing here and there, and so it is like a giant gnome but more like a nature place with a good atmosphere. But could one in the town too find compfrtable atmospheric ways to wander where there is nature, for example make a scenic path where there is nature, and that would be somewhat gnome like.
Left behind is youth - like a flowing river.
Already grey threads - sets life's golden handiwork.
I reach for the present moment -
life's joy does not come from pleasant company or wine.
Left behind in time - my strenght's proud days.
The love of my spirit - in ancient times.
I rose from the pit. - I doubt I can fall again?
The wish of all: painless moments.
We know: peace in the grave is allowed us.
Seeker does not find comforting rest,
cool wind speaks, sun is obstructed from sight by storm,
a red line is left: a forceless longing for beauty.
Drown in the sea - my dreams' hills in flower.
I am a poor man: expensive are the costs of songs.
I gave my all, I had the forces to be active - for a while,
the loves f my dreams I paid by my mind's sorrow.
I am exhausted - oh, to the roots of my heart!
Was I given too much - life's load?
Or am I one of those wo have the will but not strenght?
My victory - empty, the results of my work - my conscience finds fault in them.
So in the end - were without a good reason born, difficulties,
broken chains - burned, loved ships?
Now already did I fall - when my all was needed?
I was solidified to ice - when my wound got a scar?
Hopeless fight - against heaven's powers!
Kannel sings - song does not comfort it's child.
Frost night speaks - tune sings - with collapsing wings.
To the peace of my pit - like a dying beast I sneak.

"Happiness, ways of doing and living environment
"A stick there catching fire
shines for a moment, gets extinguished in the river.
Love dies also sometimes too,
only a memory is left in life's handiwork."
says a song.
I was left pondering that experiencing so rtongly and wit so healthy
spirit life is rich and happy, somehow full. But it has the work of a
log floater on a river with the nature as it's environment, natural
physical work, company, meaningfullness from the point of view of lives
in practise, demanding skill but not with a forced rythm. Earlier I used
to think that such is born only countryside or at a summer cottage,
maybe wandering ina forest trip. But after I have moved to live in a
counryside town, I have gotten the impression that a farmer is somehow
melancholic and in town it is somehow full, the antuer too present and
practical professions as people's jobs. Could it be that one cannot
reach the ideal fully countryside but somewhere where there is both
nature and humand and lots of things to do? It is important for the
things done to have anatural rythm and such asks for both a natural work
and possibilities for choices. The feeling of fullness connects with
fractureless wholes and to being according to the human nature, which
demands among other tyings action with healthy spirit, meaningful things
to do for each one inone's own ways, not acting one's way but isntead
in ways that work out well for oneself, according to one's motivation
and one's dreams, in ways that one likes and not for acting out. It is
essential to reach the phenomena in life in their natural basic form
that touches the human nature, but it maybe isn't when driving a tractor
but instead in cooperation work of a group, by grandparents, on a
summer cottage, on a wooden one-family house, in hobbies, in connection
with motiuon and nature. A pet seems tocultivate these like a collector,
a wild animal finds them fromone's own life inpractise. It has often
been nice in work if one does in practise something nice and then work
or civilized ways or some other outside factor like for example summer
or nature or the good feeling brought by motion and healthy ways of
living fills them to a whole somehow finely. And that life or that day
is not left there but continues onwards like a twinding path, the view
is not restricted but instead possibilities in life increase and skills
to a lot. But that it would demand more people, more things to do,
nature, motion, meaningfullness.
On a summer cottage the things done are often more pleasant than in
town. If one for example brushes the cottage's floor to smallen the
numder of pine needles on the ground there, the needless are beautiful,
varied, quite unlike town's trashes and dirt. But I used to have a floor
with a beautifult hin woolen layer of pine on top of itin town, and it
wa sreally impressive looking, and it was nice to brush and keep clean,
not at all as work like as cleaning a plastic floor. Are many things in
town, like cleaning for example, adjusted wrong way so that they are a
burden upon people. If one would adjust some other way, for example the
putting thinsg nicely at home, and some things in the environemnt like a
beautiful wooden floor, pleasantly, would things in towns be lighter to
bear and life better? What one should change and how? Is it a question
of the place one lives in? Here in Savonlinna town people know practical
things well and fine style well, but in teh capital people were better
with healthy ways of living and freedom." https://talesfromforest.blogspot.com

sensations, room for them. One can learn sports talents from my advices
at http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2015/11/healthy-ways-of-living.html and http://happinesstipsblog.blogspot.fi/2015/05/meditation.html .
In life one should pay attention to how moods and ways of doing affect
how well things done go. And to what kind of things one can build upon
good well working ways to do and good moods. Then when one rides one
should give room for both oneself and for horse's movements from the
point of view of sportiness and for it's good ways of doing and positive
moods in connection with riding, and in cooperation attention and room
for social sensations, and in one's own movements for experiencing
strngly the senses and for good ways of doing.
The horse communicates largely via gesture language, for example
thoughts via facial expressions and with one's being, which one can
understand via the sense of atmospheres like a piece of art that changes
from moment to moment. Usually animals communicate by ways of doing and
by intervals of ways of life, and the one talking with an animal should
ponder what do I notice clearly with this way of doing that the animal
was just using, by living and doing with this way of living, what does
come to my mind using those. That is the message of the animal. Then
when doing so and living so one should allow room for variations in ways
of doing and in styles and ways of living: use them when they seem good
for some use or when it is nice to morally try them in something,
especially if a friendly animal has just used them. So one learns a lot
of new things and the communication with the horse one rides rises to a
new level." https://talesfromforest.blogspot.com
C85. "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.

C86. 14th of June 2020 Putting things to computer isn't always so easy, since the practical world conceived with common sense and by living in it, is much more complex than the simple theory that is easy to put to computers. Here one long list of things to take into account when trying to lead things by discussions on computers https://virtualpicturesoftheworld.blogspot.com/ . On the whole it suggests that it is much better to think of the world as consisting of spirit than of a jungle of technical arrangements.

"Paradise
The human nature has stayed unchanged while the world has technologized.
So our ability to answer to the demands of working life, studies and
the hard world and everyday life, is still based on the ages old human
nature. Our feelings tell when things are according to our nature or
not, and so what we love may be the strongest option in the tough world.
In it is encoded the wisdom of past ages about what is a wise tactic in
the wide world. Our cultures' highest achievements in terms of wisdom
and religion reach for that direction. We feel it to be beautiful
because it solves our problems and brings superb good sides that our
skills have taught us to respect. http://kokonaiskuvat.blogspot.com/2018/04/iaisen-lemmen-aani-maailmanymmarryksesta.html http://healthilymoral.blogspot.com/2011/08/world-is-of-love.html http://talesfromforest.blogspot.com/2017/08/about-kalevala.html
In the news some time there was a map of USA but without the Californian
peninsula. Had the predicted big earthquake happened and was it caused
by a nuclear bomb? I tried to compose a piece about continuing onwards.
The first part in the melody is the most important. I am not so sure of the second and third part. The last part complates it." http://wakingfromdeath.blogspot.com/

C91.
So one should go with livelier way of life: light green. And one should
with positive feelings, believing and praying take well care of the
body, reaching toward the beautiful." http://wakingfromdeath.blogspot.com/
C92. "361.In teh summer it would be important to swim in natuyral waters at
least once, preferably a few times at least, since nature's waters have
some small water insects that are very good for the skin and for how one
feels and bring energy for the whole year. The water should be ordinary
nature's water in lakes, rivers, the sea or rain water, so one must not
dirty it at all, but should go well into the toilet just before and
take a shower just before, be thoroughly clean. Already a few swimming
movements in the water helps a lot for the whole year. If one cannot do
that, it would be good to quickly spread water upon one's whole body by
walking to the water, but without shampoo andwithout any skin cream or
the like, also the hair but not inside the moug´th or bottom end. If in a
warm countery one cannot swim in lake, river or sea water because it
has too mcuyh bacteria, then propably the rain water would be good for
this. If someone would take care of it and people pay for it because it
brings well being for the whole year, it propably would be possible to
arrange, if one would not let too many people use the same small amount
of water since the idea is not tyo swim in washing water but in clean
natural water instead. Even walking knee deep to the water and splashing
water to one's arms and face helps somewhat." https://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2018/01/healthy-ways-of-living-and-doing.html
C93. 16th of June 2020
From th text about the seasons http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html
"The beauty of nature is partly a question of a way of looking. One
should be interested in the multitude and richness of forms and
colours, of the atmosphere of plants' growth whne looked among other
things along the way they have grown, the magnifient moments of bird's
flight, treen looked from near, the nature from the point of view of
an insect or bird where even a small branch or grass can be biggest
factors of the living environment, the atmosphere of the time of tha
day with it's birdsong, light coming through the leaves to a mist, how
one always finds new variations slightly different details full of
feeling and atmospheric for example in pine's surface and it's thick
branches, in the beauty of a forest lanscape viá trees, the different
atmosphere of each type of lants etc."
C94. Gnomes isn't a subject I would know much about, but maybe some think
that my other texts would somehow fit the subject of gnomes, but I do
not see the point in connecting them to a tale figure.
But
it came to my mind that maybe these texts of mine would suit the
subject of elves, and since I am interested in animals and nature, that
is an interesting subject for me. But in the Finnish tradition elf
gnomes ("haltiatonttu") cultivate the good spirit and living conditions
of some place that may be some building or it's part, some part of
garden or some place in nature or the like. It is difficult to write
about elves "haltiat", since an elf creates a fractureless pleasant
atmosphere like a skilled moral person, while a gnome is more like
abeginner. An elf is like ifchildren ask they mom and dad if they can
bake something and mom and dad answer that it is ok if you then also
take care of that other things too are well.
"Haltia" means
"owner" but it is a version with good spirit especially. In teh forest
an elf is an animal living there and liking to take care that things are
well there. It cannot be a human, except maybe a maiden or a pair of
laughing children or so, since a human is like in boots, is too robust,
not in harmony with every detail of the environment there.
C95. If
one has a nice hobby that one likes a lot, it brings a good mood and
when one comes from one's hobby, that good mood may affect the
atmosphere atround and others too may think: "such a hobby is nice, what
if I too would do something like that", and since it is just after the
hobby, for example enjoyable sports, one has a good way of doing for
that and so the others too get a grasp of that skill and like it.
Similarly with weather skills: if one likes some weater and wanders some
time in it or spends time in garden or the like and it is so nice and
others too notice it then and right afterwards and so they too catch
that skill and enjoy their time outdoors in such a weather. Likewise one
can learn about wandering in the nature from those who enjoy such.
C96. I
guess that an elf like atmosphere somewhere with areference to build
environment too, is an elf gnome, while wiht nature only might be an
elf.
C97. I guess that en elf pays attention to how high the
sun shines: whether it is from a tilted angle or fromquite straight
above, since such affects a lot what life is like there, what time of
the day it is, which animals live actively then. The atmosphere is
different.
C98. An elf propably wants to cultivate the world
and the society to a good state or some other big whole like that and
not just some place, so the atmosphere is like cultivation and
sensitive, atmospheric, respecting beautiful values, instead of just
like the build environment.
C99. A Finnish elf is not like a thin girl with wings "keiju", of the size of a meadow's flower, which I guess to be a description of insect and is often connection to problems of too thin and too fat.
C102. 24th of June 2020 If one needs to get along with some foreign country, there are typically people who have such a hobby and they have a nice view of what it has to offer. It typically suits them better than the others but still if you take some more distance and allow for differencies in approach, values, character, etc, there is a view there that can typically offer much and teach to get along, but it demands a lighter touch, less supposing similarity,less repeating exactly the same words, more like doing things with like-minded or freindly people.
C104. 30th of June 2020 If Santa Claus was bombed (see the first oart of this text 24th of August 2019), the question is why was he bombed? There is a rumour that he was somehow associated with bribery.
C105. There is a story that if Ear Lappland Hill where Santa Claus is said to live, was bombed by an atom bomb, Santa and his Christmas gnomes, raindeers etc had some magic protecting them, and so they flew to the air like Santa Claus is said by some to fly, and the bomb hole got immediately filled with water so that it became a lake and there was formed an island in it with trees too and Santa etc landed there and were so saved by Christmas magic. It is said that in Inari lake there is an island that is a holy place for the Saame people who live in Lappland.
C106. 5th of July If there is some work or even many work like projects that really need to be done and your input is needed, my paradise theory offers a good way of working and living, in wghich you do not get squeezed but do get the work done in optimized good quality ways anyway, see https://workandfreetime.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-i-promise-here.html and teh book link there and the rest of the same blog.
C107. 10th of July 2020 "About the skill of dying of sorrow
I used to have budgeriga birds andI have the impression that if the pair of a budgie dies, the budgie dies oneself too. It is some kind of skill: when things no longer go well in life, when feelings say that one does not want to continue life without one's spouce, then the budgie has the skills of dying. I guess that it is something like stopping trying to in a reserved way with one's body to do well in life, for example by keeping one's limbs somewhat tensed, so that then the poisons etc preserved in them get freed to one's body and so that if one then wants just sink into something like depression and evaporate away from life and die soon away, then one dies - if one is a budgie, but could it work on humans too?
Here the budgie is left faitfully with what it loves.
But even though I had an old pair of budgies that seemned to love each other and we loved them too, the more social one did not die right after the other one. But some years earlier when I heard that a budgie has the skill of dying of sorrow, I said to my pets that it is a beautiful skill, I would like tyo learn it. And so I across time via my quite many pets that felt well, anyway got an idea of how such is possible.
Even if that would not work out, one could propably that way transform some of one's life toward the things that one loves, even if those were more distant ones, and leave some group of nasty things away even if others don't agree about it.
Years ago I pondered abotu suicide. My mom had chosen for me what profession tostudy and it made my life just horrible, but I did not seem to get rid of it. So I oincdered about suicide. I heard a piece of advice that if someone with cancer or the like has just half a year time to live, he/she ought to think how he/she wants to use it, and dedicate one's ölast times fully to those things, or like feels vbest for him/her. That heloed somewhat me to change profession: I begun to get positive content to life. But when that was not enough for really chamnging profession, I again thought of suicide and figured my own version of the thought: If I would think of committing suicide today, that would break my ties to the old spheres of life, I couldn't go to engineering studies anymore, and so if I would postpone my suicide half a day without telling anyone about it, I could go where ever I like most, like for example travelling in my home country or some happening of a different profession that I like, applying for a job that I would like very much, start a new wonderful hobby or buy with my money some clothes that would have a better spirit like the life I wish for, and wear them just like that - but couldn't go to old nasty spheres of life & old nasty studies. And so that difference to my old life again and again made my life much better and I no longer needed to think of suicide, sonce I had concretically much better life, for example much better professions. "
C108. 12th of July 2020 There are very many types of gnomes, gnome tales, gnome handiworks, etc in the world. So please refer to this text of mine as "gnome skills" blog text, instead of just "gnome", and maybe mention my name too and Finland.
