peter krey\’s web site

My brother John Krey has been a chemistry instructor for many years and now tutors students before they take their SAT and other exams. Basically, he presents a discovery of patterns in nature as well as patterns in the organization of knowledge very helpful for educational purposes for teachers and students in the classroom, for private tutoring, and home-schooling.

In terms of his discovery of patterns in nature, he presents 9 continua and 14 nonads, that is, patterns of nine, in the form of 3-3-3′s with some cases expanding from a sevenfold pattern to a ninefold one, from a heptad to a nonad in his parlance.  He also forms the neologism, that is, the new word, “Jupitorial,” because he finds the same pattern among the planets, with Jupiter being in that pivotal position in his theory.

When you hit the link with the title of his 34 page book below, you can review his table of contents and realize that each page is packed with scientific facts that are made very easy to master because of the organization of the material that his theory makes possible, for example, in astronomy, the periodic table, number systems, genetics, etc.

Jason put a few paragraphs into Facebook about the criticism of the Linguistic Turn in Philosophy by Brand Blanshard, a Philosopher. My response follows and tells why I still consider the Philosophy of Language important. To read this philosopher’s words cited by Jason see http://www.facebook.com/notes/jason-zarri/quote-of-the-day-brand-blanshard-on-linguistic-philosophy/10150311316599801

Sorry, you may have to sign in on facebook to read Jason’s quotation.

Now read my response:

I have another reason for studying language and perhaps that is what Blanshard means by its being “guided by something other than itself.” In what way is language per se action, how are speech acts nested in language acts, and language acts nested in language events, and how does that bring about historical social movements? Mine is the interest in concrete words rather than abstract ideas and how they might involve movement in a way that ideas do not.

Then I’m also interested in the question about the organism of a language as opposed to other languages and as opposed to abstract systems and what the relationship could be between social systems and the organic “system” of a language.

Finally, just thinking off the top of my head, what did theologians mean by God’s speaking creation into existence?

I don’t think that is about “splitting fine hairs into finer hairs.” I realize that focusing on what language is speaking about makes language disappear (almost) and focusing on language makes what you are speaking about disappear. But language could be much more than the embodied consciousness of reality. It probably plays a big role in changing realities. That interest has been mine since translating Marx: “Philosophers have variously interpreted the world; the point however is to change it” into Max Weber: we can’t live out of realities, but we live out of the source of strength that can change them. That is how I reinterpreted Marx after reading the sociology of Max Weber. I believe that source of strength, that grace of God, for making inhuman realities more human, healing, and wholesome, might be accessible through language . [Or rather that particular aspect of language which makes it into God's way of encountering us.]

Our website is still a work in progress and subscriptions are still free. Readers will not need to subscribe. Our motto is “Free to read, but pay to publish!”

Scholardarity, in order to underscore solidarity among scholars, is a new site for scholars in the humanities and all students interested in History, Philosophy, and Theology.

It is for all of us who have a degree that hasn’t opened any doors.  But all scholars, even with faculty positions are, of course, welcome. So many teachers, graduates, and academics are having trouble finding work or getting articles published. How could scholarly work bring an online income? We are working on that kind of support.

We want to give scholars access to the cutting edge of research in their fields via peer review and criticism. See our Conferences and Societies and consider presenting papers in your field. We want to find ways to help and support students interested in the humanities. Lately we hear that only science, math, and technology are in demand.

Our goal in Scholardarity is to create a community of scholars who help each other and push ahead the frontiers of knowledge for our readers.

Unlike many academic journals, both online and off, our articles will be available for all, free to read. Scholars will subscribe to have the benefits of having their profiles on the site, communicating on the message board, sharing their writing, e-publishing their manuscripts and books, and being able to advertise and sell their work through this site.

May 10th 2011, I celebrated going over 100,000 hits! “Du bist mein, ich bin dein” the little poem I translated from the time of courtly love, (1250-1400) had even gone to 10,825 hits.

My little poem translation is closing in on 10,000 hits, my mother’s funeral sermon is just shy of 2,000, as are the four medieval love poems I translated. Children’s prayers and German music are up there, then two songs, two lectures and three sermons. There are also two more sermons and a lecture closing in on 1,000 hits. My total hits are almost 93,500. With 131 hits yesterday and 170 hits the day before, my website is closing in on 100,000 hits. At that point, let’s find some way to celebrate.

Ephatha! Be opened! Sermon for Old Zion Lutheran Church, PA, September 10th 2006 920

I noticed thankfully that I had twelve readers yesterday and proof-reading my sermon I found some typos that I corrected. I had also related an incident orally from my Coney Island ministry that I had not included in the written sermon. I often leave the manuscript while preaching. I have now included it as a footnote, because it is very important consideration in the relationship of systems and individuals.

Hear ye! Hear ye! The latest from Berlin. On Pentecost 2010 the roof of St. Philip’s almost caved in and it has been unsafe to go into the building since then. The congregation is worshiping in the mother church, St. Nathaniel, I believe, or in the social hall, which is behind the church. They have begun a fund-raising project for the roof and a series of benefit concerts.

See the article http://www.schoeneberg-evangelisch.de/thema/index13d.shtml

When I worked in Berlin, they called me a fraternal worker or an Ost-Bote, that means, a messenger to the East. Often the Church in West Berlin helped the churches in Eastern Germany, whose roofs needed repair and I would relay the messages. After Willy Brandt’s eastern policies took effect, Berliners could go over there themselves.

I am told that the churches in the West have now become poor. What can we do for St. Philip’s?

This video from Dick Solberg is just wonderful and has to be shared!

Check her songs out: these are some of my favorites. It would be nice if she gave a concert over here. You can find many of her songs if you start. When I get the lyrics I’ll translate the portions that think are really wholesome and kind.

1. I Want only to “Forgive, Forget, and trust [each other] again”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itjufhNlQFY&feature=related

2. “Let Me into Your Life”

You are not free, and you are afraid to commit yourself, reason speaks against it; [for you] the risk is too high

You only need yourself and alone you look for rules, yes, so you greet my soul, why?

Let me into Your Life, look deep into your soul, you are somehow another part of me.

Just let me into Your Life, I want to understand you? (I’m unsure of this line)

In the labyrinthe of your heart there is a door and it leads to you

3. “In the Middle of Paradise”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsrFh2L_j6s&feature=related

4. “Here to Eternity”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZHBFHSx9ok&feature=related

5. “Only Those who can Still Dream” can change the world,  (The melody is “Ode to Joy”)

only those who believe can touch move other hearts

we need to find peace and it all depends on it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhsMCiAcu6U&feature=more_related

6. “You Catch Me and Let me Fly” never hold me too tight

send me away into the world, but my heart is like a boomerang, it always comes back to you

She has many more lovely love songs!
