Still not a muscle though ''An organ is any structure made of multiple tissues working together for a specific function, while a muscle is a specific type of organ that is composed of multiple tissues, including muscle tissue, nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Therefore, all muscles are organs, but not all organs are muscles. The distinction is that "organ" is a broad category, while "muscle" refers to a specific organ with a contractile function.'' Then again if his brain is 'contacting' (shrinking ) , he may be right

I believed that ... until you said it

Love it ! Cosmic massage hippy at markets ; ''Would you like a chakra balance ?'' Me; '' No thank you .'' '' Why not ? '' '' Because I have spent several decades in yogic and magical meditation, practice adjustment and fine tuning of them .. I would not want any random person 'balancing' them for me , even if they could ..... thank you ... have a nice day .''

yes, that '' dont dob me in at the judgement hall '' idea is strange , but you offer an interesting insight . The 'ab' seems to be the seat of the 'Immortal Osiris ' ( that part of the psyche that survives death ) ? Then again if it is the ab that survives death .... it now appears it carries a lot of dross with it that either needs to be silenced or purified ? I have always thought the destruction of the 'heavy heart' was a bit over the top ? I used to interpret that as 'try again ' ... back for another attempt / incarnation . But perhaps a LOT of the psyche does survive death ..... into the 'hall of judgement ' (or 'adjustment ' as Crowley changed the relevant Tarot trump title to ; Justice > Adjustment ) and it is but the Ab that 'goes on' beyond this (or is cast down or returns ) . This might make the 'hall of adjustments ' and the 'purging ' of the heart the 2nd death .... then the 2nd life begins . Then there would be a 3rd 'death' ... through the 'gate of Nut ' to become an 'immortal star ' ? I think this was originally only the King's privileged , then those close to him and then eventually every person's (in some way ) ? I cant see from my modern perspective that King Charlie is the only one that is 'going to make it ' . .

If you meant forums and not sites ... none ... they drop away one by one like autumn leaves that once were young

Then why are you citing it as applying to most Christians of today ?

I have personally dealt with ' Feral Children' and cases of 'extreme isolation ' in my hospital work ( as well as studied the phenomena psychologically) . It happens more than society realizes . One time I had to help a guy wash himself that came in , he was a mid teen and had been kept in an old abandoned chicken pen up in the back yard , by his parents , on a not very isolated property . Boy was he in a sad state ... I had to shave his head as it was a mass of lice nests . Thing was he seemed a smiling happy fellow .. but then again , he might have just been happy to have any sort of human contact ... he did not talk .

'Punished ' by his daughters ! They 'punished' Lot for offering them to a mob rape by getting him drunk and then bonking him ? And these OT stories you use to somehow try and justify your personal slant on Jesus' teaching ? ... I cant wait to see what you come up with next

Okay then ........ ( I am thinking of them ) By then things had moved on . You have moved into obscurity again ; of course people that developed beyond tribes did not have tribal policemen . My comment was due to you claiming that in the past there was no 'policing ' . The people that later had wars and feuds had an equivalent to policemen and it didnt stop the wars and feuds . Just like today we have police and the forces you outlined and we STILL have war and chaos . What ? You think the people in Gaza should have just rung 000 and asked for the police to come ? So I really dont see the significance or even reason behind your question . ... and then shoot you . Are you trying to now claim policing stops wars ? - I am sure you can put up some of your 'proofs' for that Oh ... now I get you .... just like African Americans can rely on the police ... just like Aboriginals can rely on the police and be assured of their safety when in custody ... ( since we no longer have 'commoners' I had to use different examples ) and just like the police will protect a 'lower class' or 'commoner' exactly the same as someone with influence in society . ....... ideally . Ha! Warrior cultures are more a development of raid and run cultures on horseback or other fast transport ( to run away afterwards .

Daobums has become my fav site again . ( Just after we were told 'it is over ' )

A further snippet of similar ' good spirit ' . After the above fight the Captain of the Guard ( who happens to be a drinking companion of the one defeated ) sees 'Twilight' and tells him that the knocked out man is in his drinking circle and he has asked him to seek revenge on 'Twilight' for him . Twilight .... Seibei says ; '' Oh ? '' The Captain responds ; '' Yes. ... some 'men' are like that .'' and walks off .

Now ... the opposite ; pure sword : pure mind . ' Twilight Samurai ' - 'Old Twilight ' as the other 'higher rank ' Samurai called him ( behind his back ) ; past his prime , about to set, tattered and worn , no use but as a lowly storage clerk .... but was he ? ? ? Eg. He was advised NOT to pointlessly keep looking after his old and demented Mother - in - law ... '' your wife is dead , you have no obligation '' ... it was suggested he tie her to a pole and leave her in the back of his garden . That is why he was 'poor' , he spends his money looking after others . He does several righteous deeds .. that go against 'tradition' , but he knows what is right to do . Eventually it gets out that he is more than he seems , as he has to protect a friend from being killed .... then he demonstrates proper 'use' of his sword .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twilight_Samurai It is interesting to watch both films ( both are very well made and acclaimed ) and see both sides of 'sword philosophy ' . I prefer : ' He who lives by the sword ( righteously ) shall have a righteous life ... and death . He who lives by the sword ( badly ) will have a bad life and a bad death . '

Mmmhe ! It seemed as 'efficient' as many people are .

I keep looking for comparisons which are not in the text - any 'modern understanding ' . But you seem to be keeping within a more 'Egyptian understanding ' . For example , I want to know more about this use of the 'shadow' , but you seem to be keeping within ' Egyptian ' understanding . So I would like to hear a bit more on this concept of shadow and how it relates to the larger personal schemata ... from the Egyptian understanding and if you want , from your own as well . Also the last section reminds me of that part of the practice I did (using the Stele ) at the four stations of the Sun : 1. The path of Re (Ra) is a path of seeing - of seeing the sunrise and realising one's identity with the sun. (Time of performance was at dawn ) 2. The path of Atum where you absorb the qualities of the sun into yourself back to the primordial substance of your being. ( ... and at Sunset ) 3. The path of Khepri where you perform transformations to universalize your understanding ( ... and at midnight ) 4. The path of Hathor where you reside in perfect joy/bliss of 'unity'. .... ( and at Noon ) - of course they would be done in the natural progression ; dawn , noon, sunset and midnight . Also , as we discussed a few times in the past ; this cycle seems to break the sleep cycle at least once ; either dawn for those that stay up late and sleep late , or at midnight for those that go to sleep before then (of course it is possible to sleep after midnight and wake up { and stay awake } pre-dawn ) . ( there is a lot more about these realms and entering and passing through these 'doors' .... in the modern practice , but I dont want to diverge too much from your translations - good stuff, thanks ! ) This seemed like a practice ( that developed eventually ) to maintain mindfulness (of doing the practice ) during sleep ie. after a time one does not need an alarm, the sleeping body wakes itself up at midnight to do the practice .... then other things occur after that which seems to indicate practicing awareness during even deep sleep , which might suggest the practice will help maintain or help with an 'emergence' of a higher consciousness after death . The idea (of the modern practice ) is something like ... there is a 'blank circuit ' that can survive death termed (in this system ) 'The Immortal Osiris ' . If one goes about life unaware and ignoring this , the life experience does not 'imprint' on it but instead 'imprints ' on that 'which does not survive' death , and hence is lost in the afterlife transition . The key seems to be to 'imprint' the Immortal Osiris with the 'lessons of life' .

If you have an evil mind ... then anything you put your hand to will become evil as you will use it to suit the purposes that your nature has dictated to you . Even good spiritual teachings ! I recently observed this . A person with a 'bad personality problem' got taught something valuable .... they immediately used it as 'ammunition' to be able to 'get' others in their typical mode of behavior . It became an 'evil teaching' . other people that got the same teaching , took it in and applied it to themselves ... then it was a 'good teaching' .
