00:18:05 Jean Stevens: Hesse’s parents & grandparents: as born in Calw in the Black Forest on July 2, 1877. My father, a Baltic German, came from Estonia; my mother was the daughter of a Swabian and a French Swiss. My father’s father was a doctor, my mother’s father a missionary and Indologist. My father, too, had been a missionary in India for a short while, and my mother had spent several years of her youth in India and had done missionary work there.

00:28:56 Leo Jacoby: “Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest.”
― Herman Hesse
00:30:57 Chiara Hayganush Megighian: Interfaith dialogue. Wonderful initiative
00:31:06 Leo Jacoby: MORE HESSE:
'All blossoms will wilt,
each youth fold into the mold of age.
Wisdom and virtue never last forever.
Your heart must always be ready to leave
and ready to begin again,
must form new bonds
with courage and without regret.
Every beginning offers a magic power
that protects us and helps us to endure.
This Journey through the realms of life
was not meant to end in one home only.
World spirit does not want to tie us down,
wants us to soar into the open.
When we stay too long in one place,
get stuck in norm and habit, we wear out.
Only embarking on new, unknown journeys
can free us from the prison of stagnation.
Maybe the moment of our death too
is just another gate to new dimensions.
The call of life to us will never end.
Well, then, my heart, take leave and heal.'
00:32:41 Leo Jacoby: An extract of the commentary by Fischer (Editor's words, not Hesse):
'Our brothers in this invisible community are always available, ready to advise us and immediately accessible by reaching for a book or a few clicks on the internet. The poetic wisdom of Rilke, Rumi, Kabir, Hafiz, Goethe, Yates, T.S. Elliot, just to name a few.'
00:33:54 Leo Jacoby: “If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend
00:34:17 Debra Kaiser: I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation today. Must head off to work now. Blessed day to all. xx

00:48:03 franka strietzel: The peach tree stands full of blossoms,
Not every one of them shall become a fruit,
They shimmer as brightly as a foaming of roses
Through the blue and the [scudding]1 of clouds.
Thoughts arise like blossoms,
A hundred on every day --
Let them bloom! let everything run its course!
Do not ask after the yield!
There must be play and innocence as well
And an excess of blossoms,
Otherwise the world would be far too small for us
And life would not be an enjoyment.
00:48:29 franka strietzel: I could read the German original
00:54:59 Leo Jacoby: Find 2,930 Hesse quotes starting with a lovely meditation on trees: ::https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/1113469.Hermann_Hesse::
00:56:36 franka strietzel: Stages
As every flower fades and as all youth
Departs, so life at every stage,
So every virtue, so our grasp of truth,
Blooms in its day and may not last forever.
Since life may summon us at every age
Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor,
Be ready bravely and without remorse
To find new light that old ties cannot give.
In all beginnings dwells a magic force
For guarding us and helping us to live.
Serenely let us move to distant places
And let no sentiments of home detain us.
The Cosmic Spirit seeks not to restrain us
But lifts us stage by stage to wider spaces.
If we accept a home of our own making,
Familiar habit makes for indolence.
We must prepare for parting and leave-taking
Or else remain the slaves of permanence.
Even the hour of our death may send
Us speeding on to fresh and newer spaces,
And life may summon us to newer races.
So be it, heart: bid farewell without end.
4.5.1941
Translated by Richard and Clara Winston in: The Glass Bead Game
00:57:08 franka strietzel: I could read this in German
01:03:36 franka strietzel: Stufen
Wie jede Blüte welkt und jede Jugend
Dem Alter weicht, blüht jede Lebensstufe,
Blüht jede Weisheit auch und jede Tugend
Zu ihrer Zeit und darf nicht ewig dauern.
Es muß das Herz bei jedem Lebensrufe
Bereit zum Abschied sein und Neubeginne,
Um sich in Tapferkeit und ohne Trauern
In andre, neue Bindungen zu geben.
Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne,
Der uns beschützt und der uns hilft, zu leben.
Wir sollen heiter Raum um Raum durchschreiten,
An keinem wie an einer Heimat hängen,
Der Weltgeist will nicht fesseln uns und engen,
Er will uns Stuf’ um Stufe heben, weiten.
Kaum sind wir heimisch einem Lebenskreise
Und traulich eingewohnt, so droht Erschlaffen,
Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise,
Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen.
Es wird vielleicht auch noch die Todesstunde
Uns neuen Räumen jung entgegen senden,
Des Lebens Ruf an uns wird niemals enden…
Wohlan denn, Herz, nimm Abschied und gesunde!
4.5.1941

01:48:55 Chiara Hayganush Megighian: Leo Positive Intelligence
01:49:05 Stanley Pokras: This book reports 24 years of research on the sex lives of students at a Canadian university. The studies used a procedure called the "Secret Survey," which produced comprehensive and detailed reports by the students on their sexual behavior. Topics covered include sexual attractiveness, oral-genital sex, intercourse, descriptions of ideal sex, "hooking-up," "friends with benefits," "freak-dancing," and love. The author concludes that many things about sex have changed over time, and many other things have not. ::http://www.worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n82083260/::
01:49:18 Leo Jacoby: Science and Wisdom of Emotions conference earlier this month included applications of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) stemming from Emotional Intelligence work of Goleman and others, applicable with young children to teach biology of the brain, applicable to adolescents, too.

02:00:47 Leo Jacoby: Another Hesse poem: “Pain
Pain is a humbling master,
a wildfire burning through our life
which we no longer recognize as ours,
a wall of flames surrounding and separating us.
Wisdom and love become shrunken,
solace and hope grow thin and vanish.
But pain embraces us with passion.
We waste away to become essence.
Our earthly form withers and twists,
our ego flusters and fights the flames
then sinks still into ashes
and surrenders to its master”
