Page 4 TIMTf* NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 1982 From “The Eighth Hungarian Tribe” (Nov, 1982, Page 3.) 1.6 MILLION AMERICANS OF HUNGARIAN ANCESTRY THE SHAPES OF THE ALPHABET The 1980 Census figures are out and officially acknowledged figure shows that there are people who still proclaim their Hungarian Heritage — 1.6 million of them. The figure is less than the earlier Census, but there is a new figure which increased nationwide — those who call them­selves “American”, we must assume that there are many persons of Hungarian ancestry in that figure. If we take the 1.6 million and add to this the Canadian Hungarians — it would show that we are the second largest Hungarian body outside Hungary, after the Hungarians in Transylvania. One would take it for granted that a group of 1.6 million have strong institutions, great ac­complishments. That is not the case. Everything that was accomplished, everything what we have — we have because of our parents, grandpa­"Faiied Summit* No quorum for Gaddafi Libyan Strongman Muammar Gaddafi has been accused of many things, but lack of gall is not one of them. In August, he grandly convoked the 19th annual summit meeting of the Organization of African Unity in the Libyan capital of Tripoli. For Gaddafi it was to be a major event: according to a decision made at the 1981 summit in Nairobi, the Tripoli gath­ering would confirm his installation as O.A.U. chairman for one year. But Gad­dafi alienated a number of moderate Afri­can states by helping to engineer the rec­ognition of the Polisario guerrilla movement, which opposes Morocco’s 1976 annexation of the Western Sahara, as the O.A.U.’s 51st member. As a result, only 21 heads of state showed up, and Gaddafi did not get the quorum of 34 nec­essary to hold a summit. Last week he tried and failed again to be host at the meeting. In what appeared to be a conciliatory gesture, Gaddafi announced before the scheduled meeting that Polisario repre­sentatives had “voluntarily and temporar­ily” withdrawn both from the rescheduled summit and from a preliminary gathering in Tripoli of African foreign ministers. In response, 44 national delegations turned up for the initial gathering. Then the pos­turing began. In a welcoming speech. Gaddafi exposed his territorial ambitions in northern Africa by proposing to aban­don one of the O.A.U.’s most sacred prin­ciples: the inviolability of the national borders inherited from Africa’s former colonial powers. All the while, another dispute loomed, involving two rival delegations from Chad. One represented former President Goukouni Oueddei, who had seized power with Liby­an military backing in No­vember 1981. The other was led by current President Hisséne Habré, who was ousted by Oueddei but re­gained power in a counter­coup five months ago. Gad­dafi demanded that the opposition Oueddei group be seated as the official Chadian delegation. As the wrangling dragged on, the prospects for the precious summit quo­rum melted away. The deadline for the summit was postponed by nearly two days. But finally only 30 delegations were willing to register for the meeting, and Gaddafi had to concede that there would be no conclave. As always, he tried to have the final word. “Contrary to what many think,” Gaddafi declared, “the fact that the O.A.U. leaders have come to Tripoli twice to attend the [summit] is a victory for the Libyan people.” The only loser was the O.A.U. ■ rents, who came to this new land pennyless and with hardwork and by self-sacrifice they have established over 300 churches and many other institutions, which are now dimin­ishing. We have less than 150 churches (including both catholic an Protestant churches) with low mem­bership.

In my mind lay thoughts of home of which I nerer knew a peasant hut and village church whose bells ring loud and true. Nor hare I seen the great Alföld whose horizon nerer ends * nor hare I held the sheperd's crook ' and watch the night descend. I nerer glimpsed lake Balaton i its rineyards on the shore 1 I nerer danced a csárdás upon a taréra floor. I can not speak the language my great grandfather spoke I can not know the courage which placed him on that boat. His eyes had seen the pleasantry of which my own are blind his eyes had seen the porerty the injustice of his time. But care not the bad, I know the good his memory bestows archaic lays his Magyar thought how deep within my soul. Can ones’ sence of history be innate and erer there can one who has been so detached hare reason 'nough to care. My pride I hare no logic for its source I do not know I can not figure out this thing yet stronger does it grow. Perhaps its something handed down a trait to help surrlre an ancient family's will to lire a fierceness kept alire. So is this not Magyar blood that courses through this frame and am I not of Magyar stock i in heart, as well as name? A touch of Petőfi lires in us all. Kevin Jon Tóth Westminster, Maryland The years 1944 — 45 brought to Hungary and to the world not only political changes, social hardships, and for many, death, but also at least “an end” to World War II, after that a total of 50 million people were lost. Thousands of medical doctors were treating the wounded and the ill both at the battle lines and at home in cold, damp basements under ruins everywhere. One young doctor also received much field training in those years and learned to respect and love life more than otherwise would have been possible. The young Dr. Zoltán Balla contemplated philosophy in his rare empty hours even when he should have caught some much needed sleep and he wondered about the nature of the world that his God had created. Though the world in those years went crazy1 with anger and violence, the youthful Dr. Balia studied with awe the Godly wonders of the world and especially the language which man was blessed with. Being a medical doctor he became deeply interested in the physiology of speech and diligently studied the modes of oral communication and philosophy both ancient and modern. Dr. Balia wrote down his disco­veries and finally published his complex but most logical thesis. A dear friend of his, Dr. Attila Schoeder edited and arranged for publication: A szemléletes gondol­kozás logikája (Természetes A-B-C) or: The Logic of Intuitive Thinking (The Natural A-B-C), (Weingarten Books Trust, Budapest, 1944), a hundred and fifty page book. Dr. Balia’s book proves to be more then revolutionary, for the author is seeking a “new” pathway to good culturo-mental helth as well as spi­ritual liberation by seemingly pa­radoxically turning to most ancient truths inherent in oral and literary communication which had been preserved in the shapes and forms of our Alphabet! Understandably his discoveries and his physiological and oscillographic realizations that could help man to find his way out of chaos — was not received with open arms. According to the “law of Schopen­hauer” (a German philosopher, 1788 — 1860), Dr. Balia’s con­tentions struggled through three steps: “Every difficult and new proposal arrives to its solution in three stages: First it is laughed at: Second it is fought against; And third it is accepted as self evident.1" Even though it is an ancient fact that each letter in the “original alphabet” stood for an objective meaning — so to speak “picturing” an object or thing or even a concept — generally this fact today is forgotten and even educators are totally ignorant about it. Inspite of the attacks and at­tempts to ridicule that often came from the most “friendly” and “spi­ritual” circles the genious of Dr. Balia’s work grew in acceptance. The stacks of letters of approval and praise continue to rise. More and more students of his contemplative and intuitive logic apply his lessons in far distances of the world already. As recently as this fall in the Hungarian School of Chicago Dr. Andor Paposi-Jobb, an art historian from a Pennsylvania University re­lated Dr. Balia’s “visual and ob­jective structure of the A-B-C” in a lecture. The Hungarian school children also received a taste of Professor P-Jobb’s current trans­literation into and comparison with the English language of Dr. Balia’s discoveries. Dr. Zoltán Balla presently resides in the Felvidék region of one time Hungary as a member of the Hun­garian minorities in present day Slovakia. HUNGARIAN CONGRESS MET IN CLEVELAND (Continued from page one.) listening audience by referring to yoga sources that: “Many diseases originate in the mind and are then expressed in the body. Sound, along with the visualization of forms (man­­dalas), has been used to treat such psychosomatic diseases. When the mind is allowed to flow on these two objects, sound and mandala, they seem to help in clearing the un­conscious of repressed material wich, though subtle and unseen, often plays a very powerful role in molding the personality. Usually, characterological problems are deep rooted, related to the strong me­mories and impressions which, sup­pressed or repressed, operate from the unconscious. With the help of meditation on the appropriate man­dala, chakra and sound, the entire personality can be transformed.” (Swami Rama and Rudolp Ballentine, Ph. D.
