Benedict,
Ruth. Patterns of Culture.
Boston:
Houghton Mifflin, 1934, Sentry Edition 1959. Benedict contrasts
the ‘restraint’ of Pueblo Native American culture (including
Sammy Martinez’ San Juan Pueblo people) with the ‘abandon’ of
certain other cultures, labeling the first ‘Apollonian’ and the
second ‘Dionysian’, after Nietzsche’s use of those terms in his
Birth of Tragedy. Dr.
Lorenzo’s notion that culture helps shape personality (as in the
case of Bill Blackburn in Tales
of Waring) derives partly from (1) his own life experience
(of how his parents’ Calvinist-Methodist culture helped shape
him), but also in part from (2) the anthropologists Ruth
Benedict (especially her Patterns
of Culture), and her Columbia University student (and
later roommate), Margaret Mead. And that notion that culture
helps shape personality has found expression in Dr. Lorenzo's
writing: (1) perhaps most noticeably in his perpetual argument
that U.S. American culture is essentially ‘neo-‘ or ‘quasi-’
Calvinist, at least unconsciously in most Americans, but acutely
consciously in his own case, and often therefore is helping to
cause whatever is happening in the USA and in individual
Americans in general, both consciously and unconsciously; but
also (2) in Tales of
Waring, where he showed that Waring’s personality, though
influenced at times by other forces, often reflected the values
of his Conservative Anglo Protestant upbringing (honoring flag,
church, Jesus Christ, family, boy-girl love, home, community,
and even a turn-of-the-century obsession with temperance, which
then got turned upside-down in his own particular case, and,
according to Dr. Lorenzo, also importantly, honoring a false and
inappropriate sense of superiority over other people and
peoples, a belief derived originally from a wrongheaded church,
which derived it wrongheadedly and incorrectly from the Bible
['wrong' and 'incorrect' because: Jesus sent his disciples out
to 'all nations', meaning everyone, no exceptions;
and the Apostle Paul, the first Christian missionary,
accommodated himself to all kinds of people, no
exceptions; etc]).

Bray,
Warwick.
Everyday Life of the
Aztecs. New York: Dorset Press, 1968. One of a list of books Dr.
Lorenzo recommended for gringos wanting to understand the
worldview of Mexicans well enough to counsel them in
psychotherapy. The Dr. has always suffered a compulsion to help
the people of his civilization comprehend that peoples of other
cultures and civilizations are vastly different from themselves
in many ways that are essential to 'dig', if teamwork and mutual
understanding are to happen. For instance, he liked to say that
the Mexicans today 'still practice human sacrifice'. This would
get the attention of his audience. He'd quote Bray (pg. 159),
"In the first and third months of the year, little [Aztec]
children were sacrificed to Tlaloc [the rain god] on the
mountain tops [to appease Tlaloc so he would make it rain enough
to grow corn]." All tribes sacrificed to the rain god, not just
the Aztec, he would say. But even still today in Mexico, even
after 500 years of supposed Christianization and
europeanization, a family will sacrifice one son to preserve
another, he would point out. Mexicans are nowhere near as
'individualistic' as Americans, who leave home young and are
expected to take care of themselves. "Mexicans think more
collectively," he would say. For just one example of many
possible, in Mexico it is still quite common today (during the
Dr.'s lifetime) that if one young brother commits a crime and is
about to go to prison, another young brother will claim the
crime and go to prison in his place, if the family thinks that
the first brother is needed more at home, or would be more at
risk in jail. Among Anglo gringos in the USA this would be
virtually unthinkable, the Dr. would remind his audience: "We
would say to our brother, 'Hey dood, you did the stupid crime,
you do the time'!!" When he wrote Tales of Waring the subject of cultural
difference and conflict came up repeatedly in his mind,
and he frequently drew a parallel between Bill Blackburn's
character (because he was half Native American) and that of the
many Mexicans whom he, Dr. Lorenzo, had personally known very
intimately from living with them; for they were of a
cultural/ethnic/racial mix, European and New
World Indigenous, similar to Bill's.
Campbell,
Joseph. The Hero with a

1949, 1968, 1972. Treatise upon which the 'culture hero' pundits
based – and still base – their claim that Dr. Lorenzo was – and
continues to be – a 'global culture hero'. The concept of
'culture hero' is not easily wrapped up in a few words, though
dictionaries and encyclopedias will try. Here it took Campbell
391 pages.
Campbell,
Joseph. The Masks of God:
Creative Mythology. New York: Penguin Books,
1977. First published in 1968. The Dr. would often cite this
work of Campbell's when referring to the Indian (subcontinent)
concept of tat tvam asi,
as in the chapter, "The Hoha

Castaneda, Carlos. Any of
Castaneda’s brain-blasting books on don Juan the Mexican
curandero/shaman/sorcerer who turns out to be not just a sage
and seer, but even a ‘nagual’,
may be considered background sources for digesting the present
work, a look at mj
lorenzo’s second book, Tales of Waring, particularly
with regard to trying to imagine Bill Blackburn as a Bronze
Age-type Huron-tribe shaman and tamer of out-of-control
‘animals’ (in the way young mj experienced him), on the one
hand; and for trying to get inside the psychological skin of
Bronze-Age-like (yet current) Mexico, on the other. In order
of publication Castaneda’s books in this series were: (1) The Teachings of don
Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge (1969); (2) A Separate Reality:
Further Conversations with don Juan (1971); (3) Journey to Ixtlan: The

de Las Casas, Bartolomé. A Short Account of the
Destruction of the Indies.
London, England: Penguin
Books, 1992. de Las Casas spent most of his adult life trying to
stop the unthinkable but really-happening destruction of the
entire New World race of peoples by Spanish overlords, the
latter backed for much of the time by a silence from the Roman
church regarding the issue of whether that particular race of
New World creatures was ‘human’ or ‘subhuman’. Many, maybe even
most
of the Spaniards thought them subhuman, including even a
preponderance of the churchmen, and for decades the Pope, or a
string of popes, failed to take a position that might have
protected the indigenous people of the New World from mass
slaughter, according to Dominican friar Las Casas, who tells the
story of abuse and slaughter in this book first published in
1552, sixty years after Columbus’ discovery of the New World,
and 33 years after Cortez first invaded Mexico. During those 60
years, a great portion of humanity was destroyed simply because
of this unthinkable neglect and abuse of the New World race of humanity, which the
Popes had handed over to the Spanish throne for conquering and
'conversion' without a scintilla of moral guidance on how the
native people should be viewed or treated, other than that they
should be conquered, converted, and convinced to reveal where
was the gold. Dr. Lorenzo included this work in the list he gave
the 2005 Snowmass Psychotherapists’ Conference, of books that
might help Anglo therapists understand Mexico and Mexicans
better, and also, at the same time, understand U.S. Americans of
Native American background like Bill Blackburn better. See the
chapter, "How to
Understand a Storyteller," footnote 5.

attempted and accomplished (brilliantly) by a single human
(with help from family), is testimony to how much good a
single heroic man (with help) can do in this troublesome
world.
Durant, Will. The
Age of Napoleon, Vol. 11 of The Story of Civilization. New York: Simon
and Schuster, 1975. (See also immediately above.) "Reading
history books by a brilliant witty philosophical writer is a
comfort to aging thinkers," as Dr. Lorenzo, age 76, says,
"since it reminds that everything infuriatingly stupid
happening in your world right now happened to the French
around 1800 or the Romans or Greeks or whomsoever –
everybody, in truth – back
in a foggy past we have all tried and managed, mistakenly – and stupidly – to forget. And
yet the race moved on, maybe even 'progressing' in a few small
ways, MAYBE; and the world did not end – yet."

he would get so confused himself, even 'forgetting' (!) what a
given book he was working on was supposed to 'be about'; as an entire section

in funny (some think) detail.

Fred Waring and His
Pennsylvanians in Concert. Reprise 33⅓
record, number R 6148, date not given but probably released
1964. Forty minutes of Waring esprit: during a regular live
concert songs are introduced by Waring himself, with either his
typical lighthearted vaudeville or grave church preacher style,
as a given song might require. Conveys a sense of how the mood
of Waring, choir and band would abruptly change during a live
concert, depending on the type of music being performed, thereby
keeping the audience on a highly emotional roller coaster ride.
“Fred
Waring and the Pennsylvanians: A Photobiography,” nicknamed “The
50th Anniversary Program,” Editor Don Langan,
publisher and date not offered (probably 1966). This whopping
83-page 8½X11 black, white and blue ‘Program’ book was offered
to everyone who attended a Fred Waring concert during his '50th
Year of Entertainment', approximately the 1966-67 concert season
(Sept. 66 - April 67). Starts with whole-page salutation from Pennsylvania’s
Governor Scranton and ends with individual congratulations from
Perry Como, Bob Hope and other dozens of legendary celebrities
and music businesses. Panoplies just about every aspect of
Fred’s entertainment career and celebrity life up to that time
(1966) in photos, cartoons and words, from banjo band and
vaudeville in the 1910s and 20s to choral-concert TV
spectaculars in the 50s, to performances by Eugene Ormandy
conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra on the lawn of Fred
Waring’s Shawnee Inn and Golf Course. After a quick look at this
single publication, it would be hard to argue that Fred Malcolm
Waring and The Pennsylvanians were not a worthy piece of iconic
Americana,
true representers of traditional
American ideals and beliefs (whether perfect or not). (Note: at
times it can prove difficult to pin down the year of any one of
Fred’s many various concert programs updated and printed every
year. Internet rare-booksellers and even online newspapers from
the mid-60s consider this item to have been published in 1966;
so, it was probably the program for the concert year fall-of-66
to spring-of-67, which would make that the 'year' Fred called
his 50th Year of Entertainment, and would make 1917-1918 the
'first' year; which jives with Virginia Waring's dates for when
Fred, Tom, Poley and Buck started as a four-member band.)

language, German, in the year 1899, when Carl Jung was 24 years

it sound grander, more modern and more future-world-y. It

Graham, Billy. Just As I Am. Carmel
and New York:
Guideposts, 1997. Witty autobiography of the amazing,
theologically conservative (Calvinist, or as Dr. Lorenzo says,
“pretty much totally Calvinist, or at the very least neo- or
quasi-Calvinist”) Evangelical Protestant preacher and evangelist
who not only counseled and advised every single U.S. president
from Truman to Obama, but also befriended (and sometimes
advised, or even evangelized) English Prime Minister Winston
Churchill, Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, England's Queen
Elizabeth, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Catholic
near-saint Mother Teresa, English Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, Russian President
Boris Yeltsin, Chinese Premier Li Peng, United Nations
Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld and an absolutely
unbelievable trainload of other 20th century world
leaders, popes, hottentots and luminaries. Went to the same
college as mj lorenzo, causing the school to constantly measure
the qualities of the alumnus lorenzo AND ALL OTHER ALUMNI against those of the
evangelist Graham, often to Dr. Lorenzo's detriment, as
described in Appendix
III.
Hannah,
Barbara. Encounters with
the Soul: Active Imagination as developed by C.G. Jung. Santa Monica, California: Sigo Press,
1981. In 2005 Dr. Lorenzo drew some parallels between his
dream-like experience during the first Blackburn interview, and
Jung's deliberate use of 'Active Imagination', both kinds
of psychic experience having the potential to take the subject
to deep, often otherwise hidden, realms of important truth about
self and world. See the chapter, "How to Understand a
Storyteller.'
Hannah,
Barbara. Jung: His Life
and Work: A Biographical Memoir. New York: Perigee
(Putnam), 1976. Hannah recounts Jung’s life from a very personal
perspective. Most of the recounting is based on her intimate
experience of him. They were close associates – work and
personal – from the time when she first met him in 1929, when he
was 54, and she, 38. No, they did not share a bed, as far as we
can tell. But, they did share the strange experience of having
been PKs, or ‘preacher’s kids’, she in England, he in Switzerland.
Any Jung devotee will love her details. One of Dr. Lorenzo’s
favorite Jung books; source of the all-important chart
portraying levels of the human unconscious in “Frightening
Fred Waring.”
Homer.
The Iliad of Homer, and
The Odyssey. Bard-sung poetical epics whose original
'publication' details are known only on Mt. Olympus.
Dr. Lorenzo’s English version is the Samuel Butler translation
(from ancient Greek) in Britannica’s Great Books of the Western
World, Vol. 4. Chicago:
Encyclopedia Britannica, 1952, 1984. Says Dr. L, "In just the
first few pages of The Iliad
Achilles has already experienced complex, acutely meaningful,
story-related extended interactions with at least three deities.
The Iliad is just as
religious as The Bible,
therefore, yet no one has ever complained about the religiosity
of Homer as they have about that of The Bible. Nevertheless, I see no reason why
both should not continue to be studied in high schools and
colleges as (1) literature; and (2) history: essential sources
of knowledge as to how our contemporary 'Western' worldview came
to be. Both should remain in 'the canon'. To relegate either to
the dustbin would be as short-sighted as the mouse who described
an elephant as 'a mountain' because all it could see was one of
its big elephant feet, or the monkey who likened the elephant to
'a rope' because the former constantly climbed up and down the
latter's tail." Currently (as of July, 2019) three quotations
from The Iliad may be
found on the home page of the present website
along with three quotations from the Bible, because Dr. Lorenzo
insists that both of these religious texts are equally
the foundation of Western world literature and civilization, and
should be studied as literature and history at all
levels of education therefore. In the present work, references
to The Iliad occur in
two chapters, "How to
Understand a Storyteller," and "Frightening Fred Waring."
Bible references pop up throughout the present work. Also see
the "Postscript," for a quote
from The Odyssey.
Some schools may even want to study Homer and the Bible for
their relevance to religion.

Works.) His first big blockbuster, written before Jung
broke with Freud, and published in German in 1921, when he was
46, it summarized, compared, criticized, and, more often than
not, one-upped every other scholarly psychological analysis
(over 2000 years) of ‘types of personalities’
(thinking, emotional, intuitive, sensory types etc., etc.). Jung
compares and contrasts the various personality types of
well-known historical figures, starting from the early church
fathers (Tertullian, Origen and the Gnostics) through Goethe and
Schiller, and then Nietzsche, to William James. Not least
important is the chapter of ‘Definitions’ at the end of the
book, a basic early primer of Jungian lingo. For instance, psyche, a word Jung
uses perpetually throughout his writing career without defining
every time, he defines here as: “...the totality of all psychic
processes, conscious as well as unconscious.” (Paragraph 797,
pg. 463.) "Who knew? Wow!" Dr. Lorenzo writes to the editorial
office. "That settles that! Now we know what 'psychic' and
'psyche' mean when Jung uses the words. I always figured as
much, but it's nice to see it confirmed on the page in a
paragraph Jung wrote himself. It's like God saying, "It's OK.
You're saved. Don't worry. STOP WORRYING!" A hundred million
times I've used 'psyche' and 'psychic' without being absolutely
sure, forgetting the whole time I could check a book in my
library, and now all that anxiety is GONE GONE GONE!!! Now I
understand that when I say something like 'Joey Rosenblatt was a
psychic healer', I mean that when he would lend himself to being
used by 'higher healing powers' to heal someone, he would make
available for healing purposes 'the totality of all his psychic
processes, conscious as well as unconscious." A book which
clearly affected the Dr.'s life profoundly (he delved into it
deeply in The Remaking),
in the present work it is referenced twice, in "Vishnu's Pulse" and Appendix II.

Lewis, Oscar. Life in a Mexican Village: Tepoztlán
Restudied. Urbana, Illinois: University of Illinois Press, 1951,
1963. Anthropological/sociological description of tribal i.e.
'village' life post-Conquest in a town still retaining in the
20th century many characteristics of pre-Conquest tribal life,
in many ways similar to Bronze-Age Greece. Found on Dr.
Lorenzo's list of such books handed out at the 2005 Colorado
Psychotherapists Conference. (See "How to Understand a
Storyteller" footnote 5.) Consider pages 254ff, for
example, which describe how, at the time of the Conquest by
Spain, the villagers of Tepoztlan created (invented) a saint/god
which even now in the 20th century they still treat as a
superhuman source of good. "The figure of Tepoztecatl, as both
El Tepozteco and Natividad [his two names and two slightly
different aspects], permanently fused old Aztec concepts with
those of the Catholic Church. His figure is also confused with
the god, Ometochtli, so that today he is known as El Tepozteco,
god of the wind and son of the Virgin Mary." (255f) In this
particular case, at least a part of the similarity to Bronze-Age
Greece is the polytheism. "The Holy Trinity is viewed as
consisting of three distinct gods. One is God the Father, who is
usually pictured with a long, white beard and a large ball in
his hand, 'that one is the Lord of the World.' The second is
'the one who died for us, the one who was crucified.' The third
is 'the Holy Ghost or the Holy Dove,' who is frequently depicted
with the symbol of a dove to which Tepoztecans give divine
attributes." (275f) Dr. Lorenzo's 'list' of books at the 2005
Colorado Psychotherapists Conference was to help therapists get
into the worldview and mind of contemporary Mexicans enough to
be able to successfully help them via counseling and
psychotherapy. And his point was that: just as Mexicans were
still living partly in a very ancient mindset, something like
that of Achilles and Agamemnon in The Iliad, so Bill Blackburn too was living;
and consequently, if young Dr. Lorenzo, the half-baked
psychiatrist of Tales of
Waring, was to 'help' or 'psychoanalyze' his friend
during the night of the first interview, he too would have to
learn how to deal with someone still living partly in the Bronze
Age psychologically and culturally.

“Marin Duval, l'ancêtre nantais de
Barack Obama,” French language article, the online version of
printed daily French newspaper Presse Ocean
(out of Nantes,
France),
Friday, November 7, 2008. Explains (in French) that President
Barack Obama, President Harry Truman, Vice President (under Bush
the younger) Dick Cheney, and actor Robert Duvall are/were all
descended from Marin Duval, a French Huguenot from Nantes,
France. Disbelievers may take it up with the French. It should
be noted in hush-hush terms – as one would discuss daft seniors
out of their hearing – that our nobody webmaster – 76 as of
February 7, 2019 – Bruce C. Duvall, makes claim to the same
genetic heritage as these famous people (!!!). Much more
appropriately, on the other hand, Dr. Lorenzo does too, of
course, since, as he writes to the editors, quite correctly,
Bruce Duvall is ‘so closely related’ to him that: "a relative of
his is a relative of mine – unless Duvall is grandiose and crazy
meshugga verrückt
fernicked in the fernoggin, which Sammy and I are trying to rule
out, so far without the least little bit of success." See Appendix I.
Mullen, Robert J. Architecture and its
Sculpture in Viceregal Mexico. Austin: University of Texas Press, 1997. Dr.
Lorenzo notes in July, 2019: "I have read in many places that it
took decades for the 'infallible' popes to take a position on
whether the New World peoples were human or sub-human, and in
the meantime they were all too often treated as sub-humans and
used as beasts of burden and abused in other ways. When I wrote
to the editorial board of the present work regarding this, as
mentioned in the chapter, "Psyching
Out the Trick," Mullen's book was the only written work
where I could access the fact with an exact page number.
Unfortunately Mullen does not give his source, but I believe one
or more of de las Casas' writings might, and he would be an
original and reliable enough historiographic source. The most
authoritative source would be the pope's original 'bull' itself,
which finally declared the indigenous tribes of the New World
'human', not 'subhuman'. (As if utter nudity, kindly open and
innocent childlikeness, sharing women generously, etc., etc.,
should ever be considered 'subhuman', or anything BUT human. The
16th century Spaniard conquerors and churchmen WANTED to think
they were subhuman so they could use them like beasts! Such
behaviors are not human in the way that we in the Western
world are accustomed to think, but all the same, the behaviors
evidently have been normal in some civilizations, and
therefore must be considered nothing but human. Many people of
the Western world prefer to go nude in public, by the way,
including even some 'good Christians', and so they design
vacation and sunbathing spots for doing just that. And I saw
footage on Mexican TV of a tribe in South America's Amazon
region where everyone still is totally naked to
this day (must really be hot there). Also, I am familiar with a
number of stories from a number of different New World tribes
where men have shown friendly traditional welcoming generosity
towards men from outside the tribe by sharing with them the
tribe's women, who were more than willing participants.)"

1980. Dr. Lorenzo's father's first cousin, Jane Brown Gemmel,
personally handed the Dr. all of her papers and books on the
Myers Briggs personality inventory (the Type Indicator test),
including this book, because one of her best friends in
Swarthmore was Isabel Briggs Myers. We, the editors, snuck a
look at the Dr.'s library years ago and discovered that on the
cover of this book he had circled "see pg. 93." It was clear he
considered himself the personality type Myers (based on Carl
Jung's first blockbuster treatise, Psychological Types) called 'Introverted
Thinking Supported by Intuition', and in the 'Postscript'
to the present work we use it against him.

Nietzsche,
Friedrich.
The Birth of Tragedy and
The Case of Wagner, translated by Walter Kaufmann. New York:
Vintage Books (Random House), 1967. Originally published in
German in 1872, The
Birth of Tragedy constituted a major part of the Basel,
Switzerland Zeitgeist in which C. G. Jung (b. 1875 – d. 1961)
was nurtured. Jung’s father’s father was ‘rector’ (president) of
Switzerland’s
University
of Basel
just before Nietzsche taught at that university 1869-1878. A
major part of Jung’s first blockbuster scholarly book, Psychological Types
(1921), addressed Nietzsche’s analysis, in The Birth of Tragedy,
of Dionysian religious practices in ancient Greece;
and Psychological Types
in turn influenced heavily Dr. Lorenzo’s life and thinking – and
writing – lifelong, as did all of Jung’s psychology and
writings. Several footnotes in the present work mention this
work of Nietzsche's as it relates to Tales of Waring in various ways.
Nietzsche,
Friedrich.
The Gay Science. New York:
Random House, 1974. Originally published ca 1882 when the author
was 38. The catchphrase “God is dead,” which came from this
book, was one of the fiercest forces driving Christians away
from fundamentalist Protestantism and traditional Catholic
theology, toward 'modernism', during the 19th and 20th
centuries and beyond. For this reason young mj lorenzo
emphasized it on his original frontispiece to Tales of Waring. Nietzsche
was an immensity in Western civilization’s history of ideas.

Paz,
Octavio. The Labyrinth of
Solitude and Other Writings. New York: Grove Press,
1985. (Translated from Spanish by Lysander Kemp, Yara Milos, and
Rachel Phillips Belash.) One of the books Dr. Lorenzo listed at
the 2005 Colorado
Psychotherapists' Conference as 'helpful for understanding
the mentality of contemporary Mexicans so as to successfully
help them with some form of counseling or psychotherapy if they
ask for it'. Paz, a Nobel Prize winner in Literature (mainly for
this work), analyzes the Mexican character
psycho-socio-culturally with brilliant, shocking insight, often
starting an idea from how Mexicans use a certain unique word in
their version of the Spanish language. The Western World reader
must prepare mentally for a roller coaster ride through a dark
haunted house of human un-consciousness. If you
know intimately a given Mexican and are confounded by the
relationship, says Dr. Lorenzo, Paz's empathic revelations may
make you cry with comprehension (as they did the Dr., we
assume). Combined with several other books in the list, and
maybe added to actually living in real
down-to-earth Mexico with real down-to-earth Mexicans, says the
Dr., this analysis of his own people by a Nobel-in-lit poet (who
was once Mexico's ambassador to India) might assist a gringo in
producing enough light to help guide a Mexican through a life
crisis by counseling them. "Good luck!!!" he adds, "I rarely any
more attempt to advise Mexicans how to live. I hardly ever
understand their situation correctly, partly because they tend
to hide so much. Maybe the best 'counseling' or 'psychotherapy'
would be to listen with caring, support, and sympathy."

The Living Master: Quotes
from Guru Maharaj Ji.
Denver,
Colorado: Divine
Light Mission, Inc., 1978. Through his use of a quote from
Joey's guru, Guru Garland, at the opening of the chapter "The Origin of Becky," young Dr.
Lorenzo was able to draw a subtle parallel between the way a
guru 'saves' a devotee from spiritual darkness, and the way Bill
Blackburn via their friendship saved him, mj, from
self-delusion, including especially via their three interviews.
The character of 'Joey's guru', 'Guru Garland', is based on the
real-world guru from India, Prem Pal Singh Rawat, also known as
Guru Maharaj Ji, or Maraji. For an explanation of how B. C.
Duvall uses real-world people as the basis of his fictional

The Burrows Brothers Company, 1896-1901. The 'Relations' was a
kind of magazine issued by the Jesuits periodically during their
several centuries of missionary work in New France (early
Canada), for the purpose of updating interested parties back in
France on events in the world of the Jesuits across the ocean in
the New World. 'Allied Documents', for our purposes, refers
mainly to the diaries of Jesuit missionaries in the Huron
country which Trigger (see entry below) considered another
reliable source of details, for his history of the tense
interaction between the Huron tribe and the Jesuit missionaries
to the Huron (Bill Blackburn's mother's tribe). Quotes from
Trigger throughout Dr. Lorenzo's Tales of Waring and the present work are to a
great extent the result of Trigger's research in these and
related documents. See 'Trigger' entry below.
Toynbee,
Arnold J. A Study of
History: Abridgement by D.C. Somervell. New York: Oxford University
Press, 1946, 1947. Genius analytic breakdown of universal human
history into building blocks called 'civilizations'. Though
criticized for his gratuitous appreciative references to
Christianity and its eschatology, Toynbee nevertheless left, in
this gigantic work, a very helpful tool for comprehending how to
maybe save a civilization which is in crisis. When the mj
lorenzo 'culture hero' pundits designated mj lorenzo a 'culture
hero', they were considering not only Joseph Campbell's
definition of that kind of 'hero', but also Toynbee's discussion
of a certain kind of 'hero' to his 'civilization' who sees a
massive problem and effectively leads his civilization to
solving it, a kind of leader-hero without whose problem-solving
skills right at that most critical moment, that civilization
probably would have bitten the dust. (See page 112ff.) In the
present work, a look at mj
lorenzo's second book Tales of Waring, Toynbee is
mentioned in "Vishnu's Pulse" and its footnote 15.
Trigger,
Bruce G. The Children of
Aataentsic: A History of the Huron People to 1660. Montreal & Kingston: McGill-Queen’s
University Press, originally published 1976 in two volumes.
Numerous and scattered quotations in the present work are from
the 850-page, 1987 paperback single-volume edition, reprinted as
part of the Carleton Library Series. This study is a masterful,
even magnificent tour-de-force in the field of ethnohistory, the
history of a particular dead ethnic group, the Amerindian tribe
called ‘Huron’. It gives the reader an authentic glimpse into
the real life of a Native American tribe before it was
debilitated, emaciated, desecrated and destroyed by history,
ground into the ground by, mainly, contact with European white
man’s worldview and germs. To outline in detail the life and
death of a dead tribe is heroic research and writing. A
blockbuster like Trigger’s deserves every award available. Not a
word is wasted. One regret might be that it stops at the year
1660. What happened after that? Where did Bill Blackburn’s
mother come from? If the tribe was virtually wiped out in the
1600s, how can it be that Bill Blackburn’s mother knew she was
full-blooded Huron? Where did she take him when they went to
‘meet her Huron relatives’?
Verástique, Bernardino. Michoacán and Eden: Vasco
de Quiroga and the Evangelization of Western Mexico. Austin: University of Texas Press, 2000.
Another of the references Dr. Lorenzo recommended to the Colorado
Psychotherapists' Conference as possibly helpful for
beginning to comprehend a little and maybe even counsel anyone
with a Mexican psyche. His point having been that, for the
average gringo, it was as tricky to grasp the character
psychology of half-Huron Bill Blackburn as it was to comprehend
that of practically any Mexican: maybe because they were rather
similar at times. Take, for example, the idea of chaos.
Christians link it to the devil and evil, and associate order
with God and good, but the Purhepecha and other tribes of
pre-Hispanic Mexico considered chaos as 'not always detrimental
to human existence' (p. 23 of Verástique); and there is plenty
of evidence that an appreciation for chaos remains among the
descendants of those tribes, practically the entire population
of Mexico, for example in their attraction to drunkenness and
polygamy, which 'the Amerindians... believed... could produce
the balance necessary for individual survival' (23f). Just one
tiny example of a worldview and consciously promoted set of
values quite different from our own quasi-Calvinist worldview in
the USA.
