Section 14: Background

My Background Information

	Hi! My name is Noël Kenneth Tointon. I live in Sydney and the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia. Originally from New Zealand, b. Dunedin, 6.12.50 (approx. 18:15). Attended Otago University, Massey University and Victoria University (Wellington). Majored in philosophy and the phenomenology of religion. Completed a PhD at Macquarie University in 1991. Have taught one semester at Bond University, Gold Coast, Queensland. Work as a psychiatric nurse.

	Have many interests: Eastern and Western forms of philosophy, religious philosophy; especially Buddhist Mahayana; in particular the Yogacara Tradition (see myself primarily as a Buddhist and have been since the age of 14); Sanskrit studies (and studying same), Eastern art (especially Chinese painting, ceramics and antiquities, Japanese prints, Indian iconography); Western art; visual and especially classical music (in particular keyboard – harpsichord and organ, early church music, Baroque and Classical periods, lieder); movies and theatre; poetry; scientific subject (with an ongoing interest in astrophysics, particle physics and psychological issues); good conversation; current affairs; bush-walking; chess; astrology; and many other topics. As a gay person I also have a particular interest in cultural studies relating to the same.

	For a number of years have been an organizer of a poetry group (The Square-Circle) and a philosophy group (the continental Philosophy Group). These two groups currently meet at the Rustic Café, corner of Crown St. and Devonshire St, straight up from the railway tunnel at Central, Surry Hills, Sydney. We meet there respectively (major public holidays excepted) on the first Sunday of the month, at 6 pm,  and,  the second Sunday of the month at 3pm – upstairs. Both groups are arranged as a meeting where we can sit down and discuss the text put forward in depth (preferably with copies of the text to hand) and ask the poet/author what they are attempting to achieve in their work in the process looking more closely at the text. 

	I always look forward to an engagement in these and other topics of mutual interest and people reading this page are welcome to contact me re same. My email address is: philo@acay.com.au
