It is still not clear in what way Ladonia will be used. What is the aim of this prospering nation? This is an advantage and not a problem; if Ladonia does not have an aim it has a direction: to create the unexpected.
* In ladonian time it is not the 5th year but still the first as we count in Precession years. This year started 17.101 B.C. and is 25.800 standard years. There are still more than 8.000 standard years before we will move to Ladonia Year 2.

”Hello, and I hope I haven't been "away" so long that I've been forgotten. I also hope that, even though I've been remiss in my duties, I may still lay claim to at least one of my Ladonian titles: Minister of Poke Sallet or (dare I ask?) unofficial Empress of Ladonia. I'll settle for the Poke Sallet ministry, as I'm sure no one else even knows what it is, let alone wants to minister to it.”

”read in the local paper today about this 65 year old woman who stabbed her husband to death with a long knife (förskärare). she claimed "physical confusement" and got away with manslaughter. now she wants to inherit her late husband. is that right?
todays topic is, would it be ok in ladonia to kill ones spouse if one doesn't fancy him/her anymore. just kill the bitch and go to a singles bar a pick up a new?
if nothing else, we would get great publicity in foreign media!”
The question whether you can kill that spouse or not was never answered. As we do not have any laws in Ladonia I guess you can do it but due to the same reason you could never know what would come out of it. I will also make it clear that until this day minister Diestel DID NOT KILL HIS WIFE.
Horatius: ”Or, as I suggested before, instead elect a Pepsodent. The only country in the world with a ruling Pepsodent. And if you want anarchy, why, we could put sugar in the toothpaste!”
Comment: Well the idea of choosing a pepsodent instead of a president is creative but Ladonia cannot support pepsodent products without getting payed. We don’t give a fuck for nothing.
State secretary: ”Although Horatius is thinking about the final nail in the Ladonia coffin I think our country has a magnificent future. It is not all that depending on the activites in the cabinet.”
Horatius: ”That is very good, because there is no activity in the cabinet. (Doubtful if there is even a cabinet.)”
Comment: Dear minister Horatius is wrong. We have again activities in the cabinet. I think the problem with Horatius is that he is always in a hurry. Horatius is presenting his world view with the metaphor of the turtle. But Ladonia is practising it. We move constantly but without rushing.
”Record snowfall hits all around Northwest Indiana this month. Local weathermen report has never been a December as cold or deep as this one!!!
Not having film in house I grabed a $12 digital camera to document this event as it happened. That's me in the yellow coat getting ready to dig a trail to nowhere quick!!! This mini movie called "recordsnowdec2000_1.gif" is my first documentary short. It proves we are not so lucky just because we don't live way up north counter to my former belief.”

SPLITTER (SPLINTER)
Att älska förgäves. (To love in vain)
Att fåfängt söka blicken (In vanity looking for the gaze)
hos ögon som inte ser. (in eyes that do not look)
Att lönlöst vänta (useless waiting)
på ord av mer än vänlighet. (for a word of kindness)
Att ändå nära en flämtande låga (Still to hold a gasping flame)
med längtan. (of longing)
Att en gång inse (to realize)
att allt som återstår (that everything left)
är splittret från krossade drömmar. (is the splinter of broken dreams)
A word from our Minister of Health
Awareness, in a way, is reaching out beyond one's ordinary self. This is the first awakening. But then there is a second awakening which disqualifies the first as entirely unreal dreaming, because there will occur flashes of something even more powerful from the realms of the creative Demiurge - and about any third awakening we shall not even speak, when the creative realm should have become a permanently available space to visit. That requires, according to the sages, a fully crystalized inner centre, one and only one and entirely whole self within and without that very solidly and truthfully can say "I" instead of the "conflicting wills" we are used to deal with in human affairs. Such a consistent mature centre – this goes without saying – should require uncountable lifetimes with work on oneself. The fruits of this work include the power of creative will - meaning things go one's way untouched by any repercussions of accidents happening around - it is a very sweet thing to have, this mysterious power of will - when hazard becomes deeply beneficial.
What's hazardous about sitting on a terrace on a late holiday afternoon? Nothing much in the usual sense of the word - but hazard may represent very high dimensions. Positive forces have the quality of running down and becoming dispersed. That' s the visible aspect of the whole universe - which - according to our esteemed Minister of Philosophical Fishery - is going ambient and doing nothing but extinguishing itself ever since the famous postulated big bang - a hypothesis which, between us, more looks like planted evidence in a criminal case than a real good clue to the Great Enigmas. People with developed souls and knowledge - and who - also according to various hypotheses, live in remote areas in Tibet and other mountains - know how to use hazard and create something that is not running down - like a soul - according to the great laws of heptaparaparshinokh and triamazikamno (expounded in Gurdjieff's All & Everything) - driven by Virgins, Servants, and a Master – those three potential aspects of every human being (also expounded in Matthew 25).
Creativity is already most difficult to understand – albeit those who are “creative” have experienced the flow of it – which admittedly is something, although far from understanding the source of it – so how on earth could anybody at all understand love, which is an even much more finer energy than creativity – the unconditional love that is Divine – and according to the Sages and Masters represents an invisible third force between yes and no?
Anybody aspiring for wholeness needs to transform energies like creativity and love. This is the key – and there is no understanding what these things are – only experiencing them – and that’s the real world-stuff, what our visible world is about and is made of – it’s about virgins, servants, and a master – denying, affirming, and reconciling – or attracting, acting, and uniting, etc. – That feels awesome indeed – the whole visible universe with all its uncountable stars, nebulae and galaxies is slowly going ambient and is just the background to the development of our souls…
Maybe the next Homo will grasp this better, Homo Thubaniensis which the Ministry of Health has promised to create for the Great Ladonian Pole Star Feast which begun in 1998 and is going to culminate in 20 millenia from now when Thuban, Alpha in Draco – the constellation of Ladonia – will resume its former position as the Pole Star.
So what then, in such madly vertiginous perspectives, would remain for your humble and insignificant servant, in his thoughts still seated on a Cornish terrace at impending sunset, when the world was preparing itself for the Third Millennium – than to bow down to the ground to all his teachers, visible and invisible, and then quite simply as a human being, in accordance with his humble human powers, to wish, to all Ladonians, already in excess of 5 100 according to our State Secretary, and extend this wish, likewise, to All Peoples of the World – a Happy and Successful New Third Millennium!
E. von Bock, Minister of Health
