  3. What are you listening to?

    What is that in the background ! ? ...... floating in on the wind , someone is being nostalgic - I'm getting a blast from the past ;
  4. evil running wild in the world

    Its called listening to and appreciating good music oldbob . perhaps my excessive interest in timing is due to my interest in drumming . I will hide this so you dont have to look at it because I posted a song that you might relate to even though it might be called 'heavy metal' , I am now trying to be your psychiatrist ? Is that what you meant ? But you put those comments under a quoted post from me , which is why I responded the way I did . By the way , this reply IS meant for you . Well, I would .... but now , under the risk of you becoming my psychiatrist if I do watch it ....... Now you seem to be saying if it was not for God 's grace you might have become a heavy metal musician ?

  6. evil running wild in the world

    Errrmmm no the lyrics are not blaming God or Jesus or Spirit ,( they even state; ' no one to blame ' ) - its a lament for the ways things used to be and how they have now broken down . I thought you might relate to it . I know the pieces fit 'Cause I watched them fall away Mildewed and smouldering Fundamental differing Pure intention juxtaposed Will set two lovers' souls in motion Disintegrating as it goes Testing our communication The light that fueled our fire then Has burned a hole between us so We cannot seem to reach an end Crippling our communication I know the pieces fit 'Cause I watched them tumble down No fault, none to blame It doesn't mean I don't desire To point the finger, blame the other Watch the temple topple over To bring the pieces back together Rediscover communication The poetry that comes from The squaring off between And the circling is worth it Finding beauty in the dissonance There was a time that the pieces fit But I watched them fall away Mildewed and smouldering Strangled by our coveting I've done the math enough to know The dangers of our second guessing Doomed to crumble unless we grow And strengthen our communication Cold silence has A tendency to Atrophy any Sense of compassion as far as calling it 'wanna be hip bullshit ' I guess you dont realize their acclaim and mastery ? eg. Lateralis ; '' The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling more than 555,200 copies in its first week of release.[4] It was certified triple platinum by the RIAA on April 15, 2021.[5] On February 13, 2015, the album was certified Gold by the BPI.[6] It was also certified double platinum in both Australia and Canada.[7][8] The band won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance for the song "Schism" in 2002.[9] Lateralus was ranked No. 123 on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "Definitive 200" list. if you didnt notice ; "Schism" is renowned for its use of uncommon time signatures and the frequency of its meter changes. In one analysis of the song, the song alters meter 47 times.[11] The song begins with two bars of 5 4, followed by one bar of 4 4, followed by bars of alternating 5 8 and 7 8, until the first interlude, which consists of alternating bars of 6 8 and 7 8. The following verse exhibits a similar pattern to the first, alternating bars of 5 8 and 7 8. The next section is four bars of 6 4 followed by one bar of 11 8. This takes the song back into alternating 5 8 and 7 8. Another 6 8 and 7 8 section follows, and after this the song goes into repeating bars of 5 8 and 9 8. The section ends with the music hanging suspended over a bar of 9 8. The middle section is subsequently introduced at 3:29, maintaining a group of three bars of 6 8 then one of 9 8 until 5:02. Then a series of 8 4, 10 4, 8 4, 8 4, then 9 8 heading into "Between supposed lovers..." which is a three bar group of 9 8, 10 8 and 9 8, played twice. It breaks down with a measure of 13 8 then 9 8. 5 8 then 9 8 repeats 3 times then 5 8 and 6 8 once. The signature riff takes over again, 5 8 then 7 8. The final riff is 8 8. The band has referred to the time signature as 6+1⁄2 8.[12] Not much to get other than blaming God or Jesus ? ! Oldbob ... I do believe you are suffering prejudice . I was supporting your view but apparently you are seeing evil running everywhere in the world .... even where it is not .
  7. If you are not interested in a novelty Thor clock ..... why did you post an image of it ? ( and he is wrong .... it isnt 1 : 40 at all . )
  8. Turmeric

    Okay then ... as long as you are sure about the source ( not just the brand - even some good brands got done over bad sources ) ; Investigations, notably one by the New York Attorney General in 2015, found that about 4 out of 5 products tested from major US retailers did not contain the herbs specified on their labels. But maybe where you are they have THR ( products with a "Traditional Herbal Registration" label ) ?
  9. evil running wild in the world

    Ohhh but it got much better ( and deeper and more magical and spiritual ) ; It might even be relevant to what is getting at you now ? (if you get the lyrics ) ;
  10. evil running wild in the world

    Dont worry about that .... would you like some gold ?
  11. Obviously ! But can you detect the code embedded in it ?
  12. I have not read the book , but I think I want to now , you seem to give it an interesting review , in that I agree with this approach Yes, both . I am not sure what you mean by systems of pairs , but I have certainly noticed an underlying 'magical theory ' 'across the board' with them . Even in new areas where it is looked at in psychiatry * and psychology + I see they have discovered or realize some basic magical theory at work . * https://www.theisticpsychology.org/books/w.vandusen/presence_spirits.htm + https://psychology.org.au/for-members/publications/inpsych/2022/winter-2022/internal-family-systems-therapy although they miss some important aspects and issues . if all three could get together ( the third being an educated magical evocational perspective ) a lot can be worked out . I won't go into it now , you can search my posts on these issues and get a lot of info from me and the other posters that responded there . Big question ! A whole library of them and in a lot of different subject matter as well. Also the practical side , one cant understand a lot holistically from the armchair . Also I was a member of an active working group for many years and we developed many tools for this , including visual schemata ( like a mandala or 'tracing board' - a symbolic mnemonic that encapsulates teachings and 'maps of inner landscapes ' and or practices .. one in particular shows the 6 paths of Magick and Yoga all leading to one white center of 'wholeness' and moving outward, through the imbalance of each path towards a black background , all around , labelled 'ignorance ' use google search function BUT stipulate this sites address first and then the subject matter you want to read about here . I can answer more specific questions here . Yes . Its interesting that the 'non magical' world is discovering and affirming many of these principles .
  13. evil running wild in the world

    You dont need to enter or re-enter a dream to see that , If you need to be shown the ' complex interaction between the non-dual and the manifested duality' just OPEN YOUR EYES and look around you ... at life .
  14. evil running wild in the world

    There is no need to imagine it ... of course it has a purpose . You would not be ' in it ' otherwise .
  15. Gematricians seem to have a way of 'stabbing themselves in the back '
  16. That was a good simple lesson in basic gematria ..... problem is ... it starts to fall down when you stop being selective ... and find out that the serpent in the garden and the Jewish idea of messiah have the same value . Or you could 'gematrically theological and go on and on about some convoluted theory that justifies them being the same . Any language that didnt have numbers counted the same way eg ancient Greek ( pi aint 22/7 ... it is 5 )
  17. Turmeric

    What part of back is pain in ? I have several areas of damage in mine ; lumber can be treated by targeted exercises . Cervical by massage and manipulation - I got to the point where I can manipulate it myself now ... mostly . But thoracic was always difficult .... until I discovered the wonders of .... pool noodle ! I LUV my pool noodle ..... Lie on back knees bent and up , place noodle across back just under shoulder blades .Fold hands on chest , or if you also have a cervical issue put hands behind head and bring elbows close together to support your head and neck and lie back with head as close to floor as you can , then raise your head and shoulders X 4 working up to X 8 . Move the noodle UP one vertebra and another set , then UP again for a third set ( by then your near cervical ) - dont do it to lumbar section . Note , this is not a sit up or 'crunch ' try not to use your stomach muscles . Some times before I even do the first head lowering ..... crunch ... crack .... settle .... ahhhhhh . I haven't had thoracic discomfort since . .
  18. Turmeric

    I like to use the fresh root , grated into all types of mixtures , especially curries . You can be assured of 100% using the root , especially if you grow it yourself Powdered turmeric can contain harmful additives like lead chromate, Sudan dyes, and Metanil Yellow to enhance color, as well as cheap fillers like starch or other plant powders (like Curcuma zedoaria) to increase weight and profit, posing serious health risks like lead poisoning and potential cancer from illegal dyes. Always look for trusted brands or organic labels to avoid these dangerous adulterants, as contamination with heavy metals or toxic dyes is a known issue
  19. I hope that wasn't a prediction ... not looking good so far

  21. What can be said about Qi

    ^ way to cultivate 'happy Qi ' .
  22. What can be said about Qi

    lets point a finger to the direction of chi flow ( I used to do this thing in aikido where, towards the end and after a standard move or throw I would do it with index finger pointed and then leave it extended and pointing to where the person landed . Observers would be ; '' Wow ! he threw that guy with one finger ! '' ... which of course, I didnt . )
  23. What can be said about Qi

    This particular aspect of it is like 'ki' in aikido . To put what Bruce said in another context ; When developing ki , in an aikido exercise , say , someone seizes your wrist ..... during the 'jitsu' you do not focus on your hand (or even your body ) that is moving ( ie the finger pointing at the moon ) nor the 'destination' of your 'ki stream ' ( the Moon ) but the flow of energy from your hand to the 'ki stream destination' ( the 'pointing ' part ) ... the idea of pointing is to direct consciousness along a pathway or stream ... ' flow ' .
  24. I am not sure why it surprised you ? * Maybe you are not aware of my study and research backgrounds ? Of course . In this case the 'generalities' seem heavily loaded one way . But I remembered another such case of similar 'peaceful rearrangements in society' , still within the overall context of the Australian indigenous , but this time TSI side of ATSI ( Australian and Torres Straight Islands ) - * I note these not as any type of counter or contradiction to your observation , as I said I agree with it . But these cases certainly hold some interest as a way of 'sorting things out' peacefully and alternatively .... they seem at least 'inspired' deep and show wisdom . ... and 'intelligent ' ( under the definition of intelligence where it is defined as decisions that benefit yourself others and the overall system at the same time .
