Did you .... ask O. Parpola about that ? ( Anthropologists joke )

yeah ..... I had a GF that threw some supermarket fruit and veg against the supermarket wall as she said they where not fresh and where 'rubbish' . I told her to stop doing that as they might call the police . .... however she never did what Lairg suggested . I think that sort of testing should be done 'in the field' .... before the products reach the supermarket ;

In magical / hermetic training we see the emotional body as one of the valid receptors and expressors , but it needs to be valid and in order , ie 'spirit' ( personal spirit ) , self , inspiration , will , 'higher connections' , etc . relates to fire , next in the hierarchy is water and the emotional body , then the mind and intellect as air then body and the material world as earth . The ideal is , basically, we receive inspiration or 'idea' , we see how we feel about it , does it resonate , we might want to 'sleep on it ' ( put it through the unconscious , another realm related to water ) . Next we think on it, access its viability and work out how to put it into action or manifest it, and lastly with earth we do or create it . For the general populace (in an unbalanced culture ), most are removed or confused by 'spirit' , have confused or disturbed emotions , so with those two levels knocked out, they assume it is the mind that should be running things - a big mistake . (Like most things in nature the process is not digital but works via 'analog ' - it should not be one system following the other but all working together ) . But here is the thing ; most of us would realize that someone with a disturbed unbalanced mind , will have trouble 'working things out ', but the same applies to the emotional 'mind' . It can help people to recognize the difference in themselves between an emotional reaction and an intellectual response . The reaction is quick, often not thought out and not considering consequences . I taught this to year 10 school kids in special 'Know Yourself ' course ... it took a bit for them to get it , but then they did well ( in the acting out of scenes to express the difference ) ... basically, for a start ... the good old " Count to 10 first " ... the emotional reaction is quick and even a short time can allow mind to 'intrude' . So emotions, I feel, ( ) are valuable , but, like the mind, if it is unbalanced and damaged, can be a hindrance and throw the whole system out of balance . So although emotions may not be THE path , they are part of a balanced path . But if you practice this .... you might be tagged as 'being on the spectrum' because you are rot emotionally reactive enough !

Knew a guy that payed $60 for a lesson in how to play the didgeridoo , the 'teacher' played it for 15 mins and said, " You have always known how to play, its a matter of remembering ." and walked out . I suppose he also taught subsidiary memory classes ; " Memory is just a matter of remembering ."

Do you have the 'superpower' of being able to check supermarket products , in store, by "pressing them against your sacral chakra " ? https://www.healthline.com › health › mind-body › sacral-chakra Sacral Chakra: Location, Meaning, Balancing, and More - Healthline The sacral chakra is believed to be located below the navel, where the perineum is

Well , thats Daobums for ya . Look what they have done to the Esoteric and Occult forum . It used to be deep, educated , share research , full of insights and knowledge , references given , group studies of hermetic subjects ... now its full of unbalanced ranters talking about their psychological disturbances or touting their 'super powers ' . Well, like I said, you asked about 'crystals' and " Any extra information about this topic would be welcomed " ... thats like asking about color effect without defining what color you mean.... and then inviting 'extra comment' . In any case , you have clarified somewhat now . But you will get the same answer as my other one above ..... the 'new age' stuff is crap, heavily marketed , profit oriented , watered down , hyped up, nonsense based on hermetic principles in some case ( and specifically in this case ). Research the properties of minerals and metals and plants .... also look into what hermetics is , if you dont know . And see the references to their properties above . Its the same with your 'problem' .... its not the issue that you wore 'a crystal' but what it was made out of , perhaps even what the chain was made of ? Crystals are glitz , thats why they are pop new age , eg . I had a lump of a mineral that seemed to be more 'effect' than the crystal form . One of the most energized rocks I ever had was a lump of granite .... from a special location . The difference between the 'power' of a mineral 'raw' and in its crystalized form , is getting back to scientific applications and properties . I mean, we dont even know what you where wearing .... if it was treated or coated ( many sold in new age shops are ) . Sometimes the answers you get depend on the questions you ask . . . . and who answers . .

Send them to Lairg, he will break them for you with 'right consciousness' . That will also dispel the energy of child labor that dug them up ... not that it will help those kids though But maybe Lairg can make them feel better too , via the internet and 'planet' ?

Moderator 'discipline' .... from another site ; 'Dont make repeat posts . You told that joke before . ' and with a link to the previous post ...... 3 years back ! Talk about 'being on my case ' !

Forget it . These types never give a straight answer and often just insert random thought trains triggered by a concept ,phrase or even single words and gush out random declarations of 'powers' to satisfy 'spiritual' ego . Then finish with a flourish of polite passive aggressive 'ticking off' . .... I was on a train once .... my guides told me it was about to crash , several astral squid reptilians had taken remote control from their invisible UFO , I managed to defeat them though on the mental plane , saving the train and the lives of all aboard . . . I can do a 'spirit clearance on you if you like, just give me permission first .... oh. what the hell, I'll do it 'for you' any way . You can send a donation though ( I just ran out of 'Urban Shaman Eye Makeup' . )

Metallic crystals .... I used to make them . Its not hard, I developed a method and equipment that can be found in most kitchens . Thick based small pot for a crucible , 2 knives, 2 forks that will never see the table again , aluminium foil , some fuse wire , a straw , a kitchen stove , a kitchen 'blowtorch' .... and experience and practice . Oh ..... ... and some metal . Bi 83 - low melting point 271.4 °C hence able to do on the stove . = I have two very good ones that I call 'Aztec Temple' and 'Empire State Building ' .

There is also the crystal ruby rod .... 'introduce it to ' some quartz , add some electricity and 'smoke and mirrors' ...... and stand back !

Ahhhh .... memories .... 'ceremonies' in the sand hills there , only place I have seen emus running along the beach . . . except at the 'other side' (of Oz ) , Francios Peron Peninsular , where I saw one wading and fishing in a salt water lagoon . And the rocks and ocean and 'Earth energy' there ! Some of the beaches have bands of coloured sand which are actually tiny gems .... sand made of emerald topaz ruby .... separated by the wave wash up the beach due to their different specific gravity . Dolphins are human friendly and some beaches are 10s of meters deep (and far out underwater as well ) in 10s of 1000s of years of shell deposits ( not shells , shell, all one type and size ) as far as you can see - in both directions - 'play with the Earth's energy ... rock formations : Well, we will be drawing electricity from that soon ; Structure and mechanism of a Hypr GGDEF enzyme that activates cGAMP signaling to control extracellular metal respiration Maybe the 'rock signalling' can help to regulate the power your generate from your pot plants ? https://www.sciencealert.com/plant-lamps-powered-by-soil-nutrients-bring-electricity-to-remote-areas-of-peru

Well, if you are going to consider 'traumatized elementals ' and energy embedded in the crystals you buy , consider where they come from and who gets them out the ground as well . Then consider the effects of removing them from where they belong .... and all that is aside from the environmental damage

Crystals of what ? Salt ? Quartz ? How about this one ; Like it ? That's realgar ... a form of arsenic . What about colors .... do colors make you feel calm or hot or cool ? What if I paint my room a color, what effect will it have on me . Its not the 'crystal' as much as what it is made of . Exceptions might be , for example, various types of crystal can detect radio signals (as in a 'crystal radio ) , its the 'matrix' not the 'substance that does that ' . In Bio-dynamics quartz crystals are smashed and ground for preparation 501 , its not so much the substance but the energy 'liberated' from the matrix that that 'powers' 501 . For the different mineral and stone powers and usages see Agrippa or the appropriate column and related appendices to 777 See Column XL , https://hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib777/table-i

Ohhhhhh .... there are all sorts of categories of demons . . . they often 'specialise' in a specific area . Think of a particular oppression ... there will be demon for it . The kappa are known to favor cucumbers and love to engage in sumo wrestling. They are often accused of assaulting humans in water and removing a mythical organ called the shirikodama from their victim's anus. Also know as the farting turtle demon - very stinky . Here is a fisherman ' getting his own back ' on some ;

Thank you for your 'contribution' .

I like this story. Occasionally in my anthropological studies I come across a gem . A few years back ( due to 'emergency situation' - threatened collapse of culture , imminent loss of important knowledge , etc ) certain Aboriginal elders started to reveal previously secret knowledge about how the immensely complex Australian Aboriginal 'social system worked . I started about 10,000 ya, by the inspired vision of an artist and solved immense problems and allowed all the people to live together . This thread isn't about that though ... that is just another example of the ingenuity of the 'primitive' ancients , in regard to 'social engineering' , finding and implementing social systems that work .... and getting the people to accept them . The story of Malo is one of these . I think it is ingenious. From the 'outside' ; Someone or group realised potential discord and trouble in the Torres Straight Islands ( spread from the north tip of Oz up to New Guinea ) . There where different peoples and different cultures from different island groups , but focus was becoming more prominent on Murray Island ( perhaps something to do with resources there ? ) . What was going to happen, they where going to 'intersect' and overlap and they had all different Gods . Then someone thought up, 'realised' or was inspired to : ' But the God of THIS island is an octopus . Octopus has 8 arms and they cover the island and go out into the sea in all directions . And all of you 8 different tribes and all of your different Gods are arms of Malo , reaching out and drawing you into himself . You are all different but now work together under Malo and work to help and look after each other . ' I guess people either thought ' Yeah, makes sense.' or just thought it was a good solution. ( Another interesting thing here is that Octopus has 9 brains , one 'satellite' brain for each tentacle and one main toroid * shaped one in the head . .... ) The story from the inside : " Malo was one of four brothers who sailed from New Guinea. A strong wind separated them and Malo sailed on alone until a big wave sank his canoe at Mer. But Malo was very powerful. He drifted around the islands, transforming himself into sea creatures and finally an octopus. A woman called Kabur was fishing and the strong waves carried Malo towards her. He entwined himself around her. Kabur speared the octopus, placed him in her basket and took Malo ashore. Then Meriam hailed Malo, "Keriba agud, ged seker em. Our God, our protector." The men of Las said, "Let there be no more fighting between us. Let Malo remain here to be a god for all. - So Malo gave the Meriam laws and ceremonies to govern their lives. " The system is still in place today . Malo ; https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p151301/html/Text/ch02.html?referer=&page=4 Boys about to be initiated by Malo ; https://octonation.com/octopus-brain/ * dont know what a toroid is ? see below

No . if I took anything to its 'extreme' , I dont think I would understand it at all . Interesting example ..... I expected to be challenged more on things like murder, war and other atrocities . However I was hoping people would understand my 'anything' .... as related to the concept in the discussion that generated my comment ..... ie ' in context ' .

" Why do people respond so strongly to penguins? First, they stand straight and walk upright, like us, so we see them as little humanoids—a convention of headwaiters, ten thousand nuns, plump babies in snowsuits. " —Diane Ackerman

Not the 'laughing Buddha' but the 'Damn Strange Buddha '. Now you can start giving teachings over the internet .... and then transform it into your own astral sex cult . - you lucky cat ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ummmm ... no, I dont 'recall' anything from Boulay . ( What a strange assumption ! ) .

Oh no, thats 'the other game ' that is Played here * . This is not THAT game , but the other one where we discuss original ideas and musings from our own experiences and practices . * the other game - not this one , is one where someone quotes from a book, the internet or youtube and other people quickly look stuff up on the internet and copy and paste it as 'their' response . ( just in case you are feeling to lazy to look it up yourself) ... its very nice of them to offer this handy service to us .

]But now you have been upgraded to a 'damned strange Buddhist ' .

I hit the like button after reading just this , without going on A L I V E ! I can find joy and ecstasy in 'merely' just being alive ... the idea that I exist , as opposed to 'non-existence ' . So .... ( hmmmm , this might be a 'diversion' so I will .... )

Possibly all of them . I remember once - past GF being real bitch , for 'no reason' - dark mood, 'negative' outlook . We had been 'partying hard ' the week before and I myself felt a bit 'bilious' ( bilious - bile ; Bile, or gall, is a yellow-green fluid produced by the liver of most vertebrates that aids the digestion of lipids in the small intestine. ) After a few days of dandelion tea , milk thistle and some leaves of artichoke ( actually , another type of thistle ) ... nasty bitch went away and nice GF came back .

But I thought anything could be 'the path' , as long as it is understood in the right way ? Sure, emotions can lead us right OFF the path , as well ... when not managed properly . So can everything else . Here is an extension of outlandishness for you : On 'The Great Wheel' * the 'blue segment ' relates to the 'Rites of Devotion and Acts of Worship ' and the Bhakti Yoga tradition. Its 'mismanagement' leads outward to darkness / ignorance and its successful management leads inward to 'the axle' to 'pure white light' and 'enlightenment ' (as do all the segments describing different paths / practices / yogas on this wheel / diagram ). It is , like the others 'harnessing the beast' to higher ends , in this case the 'beast' is the emotions . Of course, if you dont know how to ride the beast , you WILL be 'out of control' . - Most are familiar with Karma Yoga - Union by Work . Now it IS outlandish to think I can achieve enlightenment by MERELY going to the office I hate everyday to get a measly pittance to live on ..... but not everyone 'works' like that . * a version of a 'tracing board' we developed and used for supplementary study after 2nd degree initiation - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_board
