Phillip Mann – writer, teacher and theatre director

This list is in no particular order and simply lists some of the sites that I have found most entertaining and informative.

NEW. The following beautiful Website, apart from dealing with past lives, has many articles which are distinguished by their clarity and thoughtful optimism. ‘Opening the Third Eye’, ‘Shakespeare’s Secret Magic’ and ‘Reincarnation is Back’ are especially recommended. http://www.pastlivesglastonbury.co.uk/

The Phoenix Science Fiction Society of Wellington, NZ.  The society has monthly meetings with guest speakers as well as a range of Science Fiction activities. Go to http://www.phoenix.sf.org.nz

For sharp and witty political comment as well as astute observation regarding art, literature and the follies of our times, Google That’s So Pants or go directly to thatssopants.blogspor.com 

OROTOKARE is dedicated to the exploration of Maori performing arts. It can be found at http://www.orotokare.org.nz. It provides a good example of how the past can be use the past to serve the present and ensure the future.

http://www.avaaz.org/<avaaz@avaaz.org> This is the web site that has publicized the danger facing the world’s bee population. There is a petition you can sign to signify your desire to see a certain toxic pesticide banned. 

For a radical take on world events try Signs of the Times at http://www.sott.net/ It is a good antidote to bland, conformist writing on current affairs and has a nice edge of humour too. Interesting analysis of Google’s privacy policy in the current (Late January 2012) issue.

Arts and Letters Daily offers in-depth articles and book reviews on a vast range of topics. It shows the changing currents of  opinion. http://www.aldaily.com/

BBC RADIO. This site is goldmine. Wonderful!!! The range of programmes is vast. Concerts, Comedy, News, The World of Nature, Literature, Plays, Rock n’Roll, Philosophy and Religion …. the list goes on, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  You can stream the programmes. Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ and make your selection.

http://sfgateway.com/  SF Gateway contains a vast number of SF titles published in E format. Many of these have been out of print for some time. For those who love SF, this is a treat.
