Welcome to Keith Marshall's Zen Mischief

Introduction and Apologia

kcm Over the years I've come to realise that some part of my purpose in life is to act as a catalyst, or maybe a facilitator, to enable others to develop ... and to do this not by the usual means of personal development counselling (which I deeply mistrust) but by providing initial insights into different ideas and philosophies. Hopefully this approach enables change from within by broadening outlooks and horizons.

The objective of these pages is, therefore, to share with you, although maybe not in great depth, some of the things which interest me and which I'm involved in, in the hope that this might inspire you to get involved in something new or to look at life in a subtly different, unusual or tangential way. Perhaps to find some unconventional philosophy which may be just right for you. On the surface it may all look highly conventional ... but look deeper things are seldom what they seem!

These pages will, of course, evolve slowly as my thinking evolves, as I find new resources on the internet and as I have time available; with the latest curiosities and oddities appearing in my Zen Mischief Weblog. If you find a site you think may interest me, why not send me an E-mail? And please do revisit here from time to time!

What You'll Find Here ...

+ Keith Marshall's Zen Mischief Weblog.
+ A gallery of my photographs.
+ My brief Curriculum Vitae.
+ A link to the Anthony Powell Resources Pages, the home of the Anthony Powell Society. Because of the Anthony Powell Resources Pages I was a founder member of the Anthony Powell Society in June 2000 and have been its Hon. Secretary ever since! As the Society is now a registered charity this naturally this takes up much of my spare time.
+ A page of information and links about my other Heroes.
+ On Fish and Water-Keeping being something about my excursions into fishkeeping.
+ A page dedicated to our Cats.
+ A view of the Mobility between the English Classes especially as it relates to the 1920s and 1930s. This was originally designed to explain to non-English fans of Anthony Powell the structure of the society in which his magnum opus A Dance to the Music of Time is set.
+ Belief, Religion and the Esoteric and My Personal Beliefs or why I don't believe in anything god-like.
+ My thoughts on Ethics and Morals and a revised version of a very old essay I wrote on Harmony in a Divergent Society.
+ A theory of the way in which Relationships work.
+ A Stress Vulnerability Assessment.
+ The Tao of Life and Work, being some thoughts on the way life works.
+ Café Zen's Abominable Menu. So you thought restaurant menus were a either boring or bit way out, did you?
+ A fun quiz. How many of these 100 Things To Do Before You Die can you claim? My current count? -- a mediocre 27.
+ As a scientist by training you would expect me to have at least a page on Science, and this one includes a brief Theory of Mathematics.
+ Kew Gardens, one of my favourite London places.
+ Music (especially Early Music).
+ So what is the Anglo-Indian Club of Great Britain?
+ The Bible in One Page. We proved it could be done and still make sense!
+ More biographical information About the Author

All of which nicely ignores lots of other things I'm interested in, like books, erotica, nudism and naturism, art, cricket and churches. Maybe some time I'll get round to writing a small essay about each of them. In the meantime you'll find links to some relevant sites, and a lot else besides, on the Links page.
