and some people seem to think someone said what they didnt say A text followed by a picture with no link to them in the post ( although it was later explained why it was put there by the poster ) Until Cobie mutilated , cut and chopped and censored a post by someone else in a 'quote ' box , to try and make it look like what was said , she could 'validly' criticize .... again ! You might want to look at that proclivity at some stage ?

I'm sure you look better than that Cobie ? I would not blame yourself .... computers be causing difficulty everywhere ; Local store .... insert ..... nothing .... tap ..... nothing .... try again ' Insufficient funds ' ... go to town and try there ; same account $3600 + ??? Produce agricultural store , Norco ( northern co-operative for farmers ) - notorious system ; slow, continued attempts and fails . The other day they tell me it doesnt do that anymore as it got foxed ... but now each time the sell an item , they are required to enter three more steps than before . So, armed with a pocket full of cash I go to the local store .... nope ( computer runs the 'cash' register and 'its down ' ) Full speed ahead tech disaster ; GO G1 ! Only $16,000 !! of course ... it will be ALL OK ! Its just an old confused person that knows nothing and cannot see into the future - give 'em pork on a hot day , I reckon .

Thanks for the info . Now I can start an online 'how to enter Nirvana easily' course . Just come to my place on one of those 39 degree C days ... hand over the money and all your possessions ( as you will no longer need them ) and stay for lunch ;

A couple of days ago it was 39 deg C . Today has a predicted maximum of 33 but with a sheep / grazier alert . Grazier alerts are usually cold weather , so I checked ; tomorrow's maximum temp is predicted to be 17 deg C . And just as well we have AI auto weather computer phone prediction and warnings (or whatever they are ) a 'fire weather ' alert has been sent out ; Severity level .... significant threats to life and property. Urgency ..... 'the urgency of this alert is unknown . Affected area .... ' North coast ' . Great ! A significant threat to life but we dont know how urgent that is but somewhere up north near the coast . ( like those roadside signs that showed bushfire danger and warnings in an area . Some one ( usually from the bush fire brigade ) would unlock the sign and move the arrow around to the relevant warning level then lock it again . if it was up high , you knew you were in trouble . Now they have replaced them with high tech ' computery ' stuff . Half the time the signs are out or say ' Check on line at ....... ' or they work but the lowest level is high and the sign shows extreme on days when nothing happens - so people have got complacent about them ; '' Extreme danger ! '' .... nah , it always says that . Anyway ... danger ! Either from your lambs freezing ... or BBQing and a week of solid rain ... with possible bushfires .

I can tell .... this whole post ^ was AI , wasn't it ?

'' ... So then the wife said ; 'What are you going to do today ?' I said ; 'Nothing.' She said ; ' You did that yesterday .' I said ; ' I ain't finished yet .' ''

Correction . Not just blindness but apparently also ; '' ... general infirmity, defective development, mood swings, fickleness, bashfulness, boldness, bad posture, stiff joints, fondness for spicy foods, acne, palpitations, and epilepsy. '' - at least he got one of them right

At least 'nutritional science' stopped boys going blind from masturbating by making them eat Kellogg's Cornflakes https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/32042/corn-flakes-were-invented-part-anti-masturbation-crusade It worked ( scientifically ) like this ; '' Right then Johhny ! If you dont stop doing ...... that ..... I will make you eat corn flakes for breakfast every day ! ''

Hi Good to hear from you. I am still alive too ... for some reason ( although the 'close calls' seem to have gone away lately ) . You have come through a lot ( including what happened during covid, volcano eruptions , life 'difficulties' .... etc . I am glad to hear you 'held the course' and now do what you were trying to achieve many years back , got over the setbacks and hurdles , learnt how to deal with and work with your 'special talents' ... in short ; followed the path of your True Will . .

Bad tatts be cool - supposedly . A women I met had Sponge Bob tatts ...... Sponge Bob !

It was about our views on science, scientists and scientism Then there was a comment about 'life sciences ' . Then we were told there is 'no such thing as a scientist ' . Then a shifting terms claim about science being this ... no that ... no actually its ... ( what was it now ? unpopoular .... not nice ... not currently 'politically correct ' ... or something ? ) . Then a diversion into a claim from science journalism . Then there was a complaint or something like that about the thread not commenting only on life sciences ( even though the title said different ) . Then Luke came in to kick it in the shins ( not his brother this time ) . Then an indulgent poem that smacked of discordian interpretation of the 'philosophy' of Hassan i Sabbah ( 'nothing is true , all is permissible ' ) by a smug cat . Then some info about frying an unborn baby with microwaves . Then ...... cats . Thats what the internet does .... eventually , its all about cats . Then I came back and said ... say ... Science is a good approach , especially for all you post alternative nut jobs that give more reality to your own internal fantasies . Scientists are good and bad , like most groups of people ... except for those 'save the planet' environmental scientists ... they are 'cool ' ( like ultrasound is 'cool' ... apparently , but I dont why ) . and scientism ? Well, that just sucks and one will realize why , if they can tell the difference between the three terms . And now I depart the thread to avoid the upcoming disdainful stares and comments ..... .

What was that guy's name again ? ( have to look it up ) ... Ah yes ; Schwaller de Lubicz ... boy ! Wading through his stuff ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._A._Schwaller_de_Lubicz

I guess many here would not count vaccines as an improvement .... but I would cite 'non invasive diagnosis ' (like ultrasound ) and insulin for diabetics . Fortunately for me though , I am neither diabetic nor pregnant .

then again , some suggest that the idea of Jesus at the stake refers to the last supper

Not to forget 'Our Master ' Mansur el Hallaj ; Arguments for a stake: The Greek word stauros primarily means an upright stake or pole. Another word, xylon, is used synonymously and means "wood," "stake," or "tree". Some argue this means Jesus died on a single upright pole, citing that some early sources use these words in their basic meaning of a stake

Ahhh , there you go again ..... snipping off the last relevant bit of the sentence to ... well...... to what ? ? ? Why do that ? In the afterlife Coby ... in the afterlife ; '' ... However there is no 'judgement hall' or duality concept ( eg heaven and hell ) . '' Commandment 11 , thou shall not commit contextimony ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoting_out_of_context

That is 'science journalism ' .

What is disappointing is how he switched from science as 'failing' to being 'in decline ' to 'disappointing ' .

I won't name him (due to obvious reasons .... he works for NASA ..... he solved a huge problem for them with a novel insight , he also worked in comms for the navy and had a magical group 'on board ' - they had magic 'circles' in the on board satellite dish in its horizontal position ( officially 'cleaning detail ' ) . he got caught by Captain once '' I dont know what they hell you are doing in there .... but it doesnt appear to involve drugs , alcohol or 'homosexual activity ' and your division seems efficient, well run and and has no other 'incidents' , so ...... dismissed .''

Disconnect his phone and internet link ... that'll show him !

... and if you dont fear death ? '' ... Heart and soul life passes from one to anotherDeath alone walks with no one to converse with .... ''

Right ... and now its become a trend ; human creatures hurting marine creatures because they feel 'satisfied' after removing the barnacles ! Check out the internet , now there are warnings out there NOT to do this . No, you should not remove barnacles from sea creatures yourself unless you are a trained professional. Improper removal can cause pain, stress, and serious harm to the animal, including skin and shell damage that can lead to infection. If a creature has a heavy infestation, it likely indicates an underlying health issue, and the best action is to contact a local marine wildlife rescue or veterinary professional for safe and appropriate treatment even facebook has a notice ; Debunking AI Imagery of Barnacles on Marine Mammals

Then this could be the origin of one of the most important and central ides in magic ; expressed from Agrippa ( signatures and correspondences ) all the way through to Crowley's Liber 777 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/777_and_Other_Qabalistic_Writings_of_Aleister_Crowley Great question . There are different systems and reluctance to talk about it , so its difficult to know or even summarize . Mostly its about 'connecting' to the 'home landscape' (one's 'country ' ) and the ancestors . However there is no 'judgement hall' or duality concept ( eg heaven and hell ) . They are definitely afraid of and spooked by ghosts ( the general people ... not 'clever man' or 'Kadaicha ' ) . Its like they want to maintain separation ; a part goes back to nature ... becomes a tree or .... ? But there are also beliefs about becoming stars . I am not sure if they are different beliefs for different people , or the both ideas can be in one system ? I do see what you mean , and that makes some sense ... except for the mourning rites .... IMO such severe mourning* must cause an emotive bond ? In any case , part of that tradition is due to that ( not interrupting the process after death ) but for some it seems to go on a long time ( which may be an aberrant practice introduced later )... it would seem this is only for a period, as later , contact with ancestors ( 'the old people ' ) is desired and in some cases essential and required by Law ( eg, entering a 'sacred area ' , increase site , etc . ) ( Eg . I wanted to 'dance' at Little Lagoon in Western Australia , so I 'asked permission ' - and also permission just to be there .... its a very special spot . before I did anything I sat down on the shore, meditated and asked permission and for a sign it would be okay . Not much happened . But then on the far opposite shore I saw a black figure emerge from the undergrowth and start running around the lagoon shore towards me ... boy could he go fast ! Actually ... thats too fast ! As it closer I realized it was an emu . It came right around and stopped dead in front of me , staring at me . After a while it went into the shallow water and started fishing ! I never seen an emu do that . Then it came back, we were face to face for a bit , then it zoomed off the way it came to the opposite side and back into the bushes . Then an Aboriginal Man ( 'Munda ' people ) came up to me smiling ; ''I see the Old People came to talk to you and check you out .'' - and that enabled contact for me to do a bit of travelling about with one of their elders ) I have seen some terrible 'mourning scars ' and wounds , deliberately inflicted . One man with the top outer part of his thigh , gashed open to the bone and tied around the limb above and below the gash with bark .... just lying there on the ground for days on end . refusing food and drink ... he may well have died of dehydration before the results of the self inflicted wound . yet funeral rites and mourning are said to help guide the spirit . I am assuming there are inner traditions where time periods are relevant .. after a while the spirit should find its new home and after that it can be contacted ... but not during any transition period . # WE need a proof reader .

Unless you were an emu .... then your wife will take off and leave you to hatch the eggs and you end up a 'single dad' for 8 chicks ! ... and you dont get to fly !

Imagine if we had no gravity ..... rotting dead birds 'floating' around in the air ..... Ewwwwwww ! .
