" Owww ! " .

It might not necessarily be so .... unless we adopt eh 'charitable' definition of ignorance . The perception that 'existence is pure joy ' is the base to 'life being pure joy ' is a type of eudamonia , and in some societies that is considered and even might be the 'normal state' BUT it depends on certain qualifiers ( eg leading a rational , virtuous * life , having communication and direction of a tutelary Spirit , knowing and doing your life's work/ spiritual mission , ( True Will / Khvarenah ) , etc . Modern society and individuals have lost most of that , so in many cases 'existence becomes depression ' , to the extent the suicide rate climbs . I am not sure if ignorance or illusion is the right word here ...... 'trapped in a tragedy ' might be a more appropriate phrase . But of course none of this means that, at some time, you are going to 'suffer' , in some way , regardless . * ie. the old Greek definitions and ideas about this Eg 'Virtue' is excellence and 'moral virtue' but also includes 'the ideal state of a thing' . . . and other extensions to the concept .

I'm wondering IF you were going to quote that author defining that topic why did you snip that part ? I think this explains it better from the previous paragraph ( and might clear up the 'Buddhist association' ) : " this is the black school, so you find it expressed in many different ways. And some versions of Buddhism you can see that it's the black school. Some versions of any tradition you'll find elements from these three different schools, let's put it that way. So he's not just talking specifically about Buddhism ..."

Apparently there is a new term for this specific branch /(s) .... " Rascals "Buddhists "

" Sorry mate, I cant find you, call out so I know where you are ! " ... and so on https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/280145/amin-yashed-furious-man-replies-to-facebook-trolls-making-shed-jokes-about-his-name/ AN EXASPERATED man took to Facebook to demand social media users stopped mocking his name. Amin Yashed has been inundated with messages from jokers telling him to get out of their sheds He wrote: “Wish you f****** would stop taking the p*** out my name! 50 message requests telling me to get out of your shed! I’M OBVIOUSLY NOT IN YOUR SHED YOU RACIST B*******. Stupid infidels." If ya cant beat 'em .... " Since his initial outburst though, Amin seems to have embraced the comedy of the situation and has made a mock up cover photo .... "

Now you have just returned to your original narrow premise , To go further would be circular . Circular again , I already addressed this . I am not , you must have missed what I said . Its the whole Neuro genetic system with its receptor feedbacks and linked to genetic consciousness and memory and another faculty which is 'non-local' I already laid that all out . If you missed it and think I am claiming its in the brain .... there isn't much point continuing this discussion as it would go around in circles more , So does sleep lead to temporary loss of consciousness , but does sense of self leave ? Ever had dream with 'yourself' in it ?

Now that is a much better way of putting it than me 'over concerned with popularity ' . I thought you needed to / hunched / I wanted you to (for some reason ) .... how do I put this ...... 'not be so retiring ..... yes, I suppose 'stick up for yourself more ' . Great ! Loved the honey badger vid ! ( But you realize they don't really exist , right ? Its just urban mythology . That's just what Mr Badger calls Mrs Badger . )

About bloody time too !

God bless you both ( I'll send my PayPal number to your PM boxes )

No doubt . As far as breakfast is concerned . I don't see how that impacts my schemata though . Now , tell me how the members of the city council came to be there and who is their chairperson / Mayor ? They cant just run and around and do whatever they want and pass any type of laws they feel like , if they get out of control a 'higher authority' steps in. We see it often here , its a regulatory state body that overseas local councils . You cant rip a part of a system out and hold it up as an holistic example . In the houses of Parliament we could say the same thing ... BUT they must follow process and they are under the control of the speaker , when proposals are put forward . spoken for or against and then out to a vote . Nearly all properly convened meetings have a 'chair ' ; " Order .... ORDER ! < bang ! bang ! > " Yes, governance and systems in the self can run autonomously , to an extent , its when they become out of balance and disorderly that the Speaker or the controller or what ever name you want to put in that aspect of the psyche (if you have found it yet ) should be able to take control . This is a very basic aspect of Magick and to an extent psychology .....a lack of 'automatic function under guidelines ' or an imbalance in self autonomous energies " can result in 'possession' or ' DID ' . https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9792-dissociative-identity-disorder-multiple-personality-disorder In both cases . communication or contact with the 'Super-ego'' can be a remedy . The Super-ego is postulated as a major hidden component of the self . Several of these 'aspects' come together in a subtle and interior ( mostly unconscious for the vast majority ) to form a handy conscious output model of 'self ' . I can provide a paper with clinical trials that shows the validity of both models together ... if you want to read it .

I often seem to be surrounded by a world of magic A friend got into a strange unusual argument with me about how much money she owed my due to numerous borrowings , I had kept a tab - It was up to $185 . She started going weird on me and said it was "Like $50 or something .... " I said I refused to argue with a friend over something as trivial as money - just give me what you think you owe me ." She slammed a 50 on the table and stormed off . The next day I was in town and checked a lot to ticket I had ...... $480 win ! ( I told her , of course )

Speaking of 'Shiva dances' and 'the destroyer ; In the Okinawan crane form I practiced, the main and repetative move , at the end of it , you are in the classic Shiva position and not only that , two of his hands/arms ( the crane's flapping 'wings') show the hand position at the beginning of the movement and the other two show the position at the end of the movement . The leg lower leg and foot might be more horizontal ( and often are depicted that way as well ) , this is due to an unusual ( sort of ) reverse roundhouse flick kick to the outside ( the position is after the kick ) - a tricky maneuver with the hips ..... perhaps the 'Shiva pose' in yoga would help with that ; I can see obvious martial application/ influence in the above video - note the big bangles at 1:52

Oh no ..... I should not have said that last part .

Not with this mantra but by another process ... I thought I'd share this observation with you . Many years back, I was living with a partner of questionable honesty , short story, she got pregnant and said I was the father (turns out I wasn't - but I believed her for a while ) ... YIKES ! I better get my self and this place together . I had another building next to the cabin and thought I could fix that up as a proper 'civilized' nursery . But I had little money so I did a 'working' to get money to buy wood to start work on this building , which had open 'walls' . It was already a 'sleepout' . Nothing ! Not a cent . Then after a while I heard an illegal bush saw mill and closed down and someone had nabbed some wood from there so I went to have a look . There was a caravan there and some security guard came bolting out , accused me of trespass , told me to get out of there or I will be charged . Whoa ... settled own big fellah . I just came to have a look at the closed down mill ... what will happen to all this wood lying around ?" " None of yer business , the bank owns all this now , probably get sold to Japan for wood chips ." " Wow .... all this beautiful Australian hardwood from our forests turning into chips of wood .... Japan eh ? Well, no wonder , they ain't gonna cut down their forests ... they consider them sacred and a national treasure .... Not that I dislike the Japanese ... but ... ya know, I lost an Uncle in WWII fighting them of in New Guinea ( I didn't t ... I was bullshitting ) trying to preserve or land and forests and resources from them taking it over and enslaving us . WWE won the war , yet here we are ... all of our wood , going off to them for bloody wood chips ! " ( I must have gauged the guy right ... he had seemed 'old school' and would be holding such sentiments , I have heard them expressed before by a few ) . He started at me : " What would YOU do with it ?" " Girlfriend is pregnant , I got no money , I need to build a new, clean , healthy nursry room off the side of my bush cabin ." He started at me ... a pause ..... " Can you get a trailer ? " " Yes ! " " Okay , today only .... ONE LOAD ... don't tell ANYONE .... " "Okay ... thank you ! " - Zooooooooom ... zoom back ... he even helped me load it It wasn't until I was nailing boards up that I was ; " Hey ! Here is my free wood, I didn't need the money after all ! " . Then the truth about the baby came out . Later we split up . I finished off the 'nursery ' with beautiful looking Borneo teak ! ( new eco-friendly plantation 'stamped' ) and set some glass walls in it ( I got 6 giant glass pool fence panels for $100 at a 'garage sale' and now I have a 'cocktail bar ' , still partially open to the outside , with some glass walls that look out to garden , fish pond and my mermaid statute Moral ? You might 'get there ' in the end , but the route might not be what you expected ... nor indeed the outcome The only time I have been able to 'magically manifest ' $$$$$$$$$$ has been for someone else - damn !

OKay sorry .... just like down over here and I will bring you some tea .....

No , and I wasn't claiming you did say it , it was in relation to me thinking that " women are closer to Divintiy than men are " Thats what you said - I was agreeing .... they are more advanced towards divinity with a hint that I think they are more advanced in lots of other areas too .... like the comments I made about the stages of life for a man . Got it . - see above . I am not saying it applies to ALL women either . However I will openly admit bias . I been around a long time and I cant say the male sex has impressed me that much . .... its not only women they try to oppress though ya know - I have fought against it most of my life . Sure women do it to , but I am going on my own experience and what I have learned - bearing in mind I been around a long time , I have worked with refugee relocation , sometimes ex torture victims , in a hospital dealing with accidents , violent crimes , injuries and also involved in women's shelter support . So I could have a biased view on it , I'll admit that . But the stats seem to indicate something as well . I could say a lot more on that but maybe its too far off topic . On another level I have heard sort of similar to what you said about men being ... well ... 'the priests ' and the women having a different relationship . In another tradition that has both men and women as 'clergy' , Ie Priest and Priestess , some women, ( from outside the ritual ) commented it was a bit sexist , the priest is doing all this stuff and incantations and actions and rituals while the priestess is just sitting there holding stuff for him . But then one of the priestesses commented 'You think we are doing nothing ? You cant imagine what is going on for me when I am doing that , the energies ! I have to ...... ( do this and that ) all these people are here with their different energy and ... etc . ' From my perspective , I much prefer to teach women aikido , they get it a lot easier than most men _ if you understand how Aikido works you will known why ...... it can easily peasily deal with big man upper body strength . A lot of guys I taught ... a lot of 'unlearning' was required . And at least on one occasion , I saw a woman master it , instantly after a few minutes instruction - for a moment She was very thin and slight , two big burly random guys could not lift her up , the look on their faces ! But then she 'lost it ' ( the right 'state ' and energy flow ) and then up she went - easily .... she had a very surprised look on her face as well - what just happened then ! ? Do you do any sort of Qigong or similar practice ?

And that is what gives the brain its ability too . Its the relationships between 'parts' (on may different levels - some beyond the brain - in other body locations ) . More so with the development and function of 'mind ' . I see this as a supporting fact to what I said , not a contradiction . As far as 'you' ego , 'I ' , etc I totally agree ; the psyche is a collection of ( here we go ; ) 'entities' , drives , 'personalities' , 'spirits' ? But something organized and directs it ; either an 'inbuilt programs' running concurrently and in relative harmony (or not ! ) or 'it' is being used / directed by a 'master controller ' . In Exo-psychology these 'forces' are mostly in two classes ; the written program we come with that are pretty much written for us , and another set that are developing in our evolution (and to an extent , in each persons development ) and when established have the ability to rewrite the other programs , if need be . One of these higher 'programs' is considered to be the controller ; the ' Neuro-electric ' circuit , which is located throughout the nervous system including the brain , but it needs to also interact with the neuro- genetic circuit (cellular consciousness , located in the cells ) and the 'top' circuit , where consciousness is defined as 'non-local' . There are a few 'maps of consciousness' which suggest similar arrangements .

Aha ! I wondered what happened .... tsunami alerts out .... awaiting danger (news the night before ) ... next day .... 'nothing ' (much) ???

There is no significant correlation between the two . This mistaken observation can be explained in many ways . the position of Luna in a chart or in a planetary alignment does not relate to 'lunatics' ... the term is not in technical usage and is rather false and old fashioned . People may have ' mental health issues or dysfunction ' ...'lunatic' is usually an insulting term nowadays .

I have found that even with the simplest of (sacred) texts - it seems to be part of the 'qualification' - meaning that a 'good ' text should be .... sort of .... 'encoded' to reveal deeper knowledge the more you study it . I experienced the same in a form ( martial arts ) , one of the supposed;ly simplest of forms teacher said was the main one and held the root of all other forms in simplicity . I doubted that and thought he was just 'sayin stuff' ... 15 years later , I am still finding new and revealing things within it !

yes.... I was just referring to the logical point he made about prisoner's sex and what conclusion he drew from that . 'Race' is a false construct ... that's why I referred to skin color .. besides ... we all know that women are more advanced I used to read Tarot publicly and I would also speak at certain 'pagan' events . One thing I would outline to them , and in readings where the issue came up , was this idea of the 3 stages of womanhood . Of course only a man like me would comment on that Traditionally it is said to be ; maiden mother crone ... like the Moon phases ..... rubbish ! The Moon as FOUR phases ! (I would say to them during a reading ) ; It should be maiden mother pirate elder . "Pirate ? ! " " Sure ! You wanted to know what was next in life for you ; the kids are grown up and left home , you have left hubby behind as now you have more time to yourself you are on a spiritual journey ... and he just does not get it ! Are you ready to be an old woman crone yet ? NO ! You still have a lot of life to live and vitality and now ... its YOUR time ... get out there, be, free , on the high seas ... plunder ; Fun ... business .... men's hearts ! Hoist the Jolly Roger ! " Once a woman in the little audience during a 'pagan conference ' heard that and asked , What about the male stages of life ?" " Well, there is child , youth / boy ...... ummmmm , youth/ boy ...... and then ....... youth boy ... and then mmmmmmmh .... mmman? ..... Man ? ....... ahhhhh Man ! ..... Father .... although Father can come anywhere within the preceding , eventually , Elder. "

Like I used to say to people at work " As long as it was fun .... good ! " (and what makes good 'fun' ? The extremes of human experience - apparently .)

Agreed ! My last partner had 3 little sons (oldest 5 at the time ) , a handful ....... she was ! Volatile and often yelling , including at the kids and sometimes some really bad that kids should not hear . A very difficult situation . I would have to council and nurture them and explain to them why I thought Mommy was exploding and didn't really mean the things she was saying to them . She would often be amazed at me and say : Through all of this ... you never fought with me , or yelled at me ....... (oh good ... but then ... ) " Where is your passion ! You have no passion ! Of course I have passion and yell and scream , I am a Latino woman ! " Yikes ! I'm gonna stick this in here ....

So that's why I don't use that emoji !

Oh no ..... she was an accepted (inner plane) disciple, able to control her emotions. :)
