  1. Acting on your true will

    Well, there is a whole range of indications . These can start with the observation of children , we need to be careful here as its a fine line between allowing any expression they seem to be attracted to, or have come 'pre-loaded' with and protecting them against bad, wrong and dangerous decisions . Natural abilities and proclivities can be some indication . One has to allow full expression of the individual child and not see them as an sort of property or copy of yourself . Of course , parental judgements can hamper or assist : In my case , I remember once as a young lad ( and already being asked 'what are you going to be when you grow up ? ' ... a little confusing as I thought I would be myself , then I realised they meant , 'what are you going to do with your life' , bu later realised that was wrong too , they meant what job or profession would I do .... even as a kid I was ' your job defines who you are ? ' ) I saw a man doing a job, watched him a while and then declared to my parents ' thats what I want to be when I grow up ' . They asked what, and since we where still in the location ( a shopping centre ) where I was watching I took them to show them . They where horrified ! It was in a department store window , and a window dresser was making a little scenario ; back drop, some items , dried flowers , some models in clothing , a bit of furniture .... he would stand back ... no , the arrange things differently , yes . Then match colours , I realised some things he did seemed ... not right , then when he re arranged - right . Like someone working on a life sized diorama . But he was 'very gay ' ( now that I think back , but I didnt even know about that at the time .... this is early 60s in a very straight catholic family .... I didnt even ever a conversation with either parent about ANY type of sex ! ) .... parents where shocked and led me away ; no no no YOU dont want to do that ( MY God ! Little Nungers wants to be a homo ! ) . Later they booked me in with a professional 'vocational guidance councillor ' , I got interviewed, did a test and it came back that I would make a 'good ' shop assistant . In later life I realised why that was an attraction . Several other things I felt the same way about . I kept chopping and changing interests .... but at a latter stage in life I realised they where actually all facets of one thing ! At a certain stage of 'initiation and realisation' , they all came together .... it was like watching a reverse slow motion film of something shattering ... all those different things fitting into place and creating ' what it was ' . And , of course , part of that involved creating an harmonious space , with everything within it vibrating to the same frequency ( ie, specific 'temples' for working specific energies ) , 'life sized dioramas' . ( I have written about this process in the form of a short story , by developing a kids story - to introduce them to the idea - based on an old Sufi story ..... with updates ) Happiness enters into it, but I dont mean ordinary happiness , I mean an abiding , long term deeply satisfying happiness . Some people have things ( hobbies, sports, careers , professions ) that they absolutely LOVE doing ( love and will again ) more than anything else , some can do it all day and they might be brilliant at it . Imagine having something you feel like that about , as your job ... and getting paid to do it as well , when you would be prepared TO PAY to do it anyway .... some people have found that . To me that's an indication that 'you are doing what you came here for' .... mere physical pleasures cant give abiding 'happiness, sustenance and satisfaction like that can . Then there is that 'Daoist aspect' ..... doing things or going down pathways that dont assist one finding their True Will is like swimming up stream to cross the river . And the reverse applies ; especially when we see manifestations of many things happening 'effortlessly' to assist a person in that direction ; 'luck' is on their side , " How on earth did you pull that off !? " or as my solicitor said to me once ; " What the hell is going on here , every time a trap is set for you, or they ( Government prosecutor) ...

  3. Solar power in ancient Egypt

    I was responding to your " as I recall the Djed pillar is the only graphical representation with both eyes looking at the viewer. " I am not sure what you mean by 'so none with the Djed '. I am not familiar with a djed image with two eyes * ... but I thought you where, so I had no reason to include one .... even if I could locate one . * Not surprised though , combining symbols , sometimes in strange and unusual combinations ( to us ) is very common with them . Hold still ! There is a HUGE beetle on your cheek !

    I did a better one - freaked out a whole bunch of people ! At certain times of year , under certain conditions , an afternoon thunderstorm can arise , virtually out the blue (sky) and bring hail and rain rather quickly ...then its gone . One time, under those conditions , I was telling some people I could call up a storm ..... and I did Like I said , some people WANT to be fooled ( perhaps an unconscious want as well ) .

    Stone breaking is an 'art' , first you need the right stone (and they can be brittle ) , just as you hit it, your other hand that is holding it , lifts the stone slightly so it is actually the impact of the stone on the surface as it comes back down from the hit that breaks it . Its an old 'tameshiwara' trick .... there is a whole range of them . The longer and thinner a stone slab is , the easier it will be to break . Slabs of ice are a good one - I have seen a huge collection of them set up, each about an inch above the other , unfortunately some began to break under their own weight while awaiting the strike Thats , one thing , now lets get to the above gif ; what a bastard ! These kids get continually pummelled from early age . They develop health problems and defects . I saw one, who was older then , do a demo, people cheered, he liked that, then he was interviewed about how it was possible , he started looking sad and told his story, it was horrible ; he started as a little kid by having to constantly ram his head into a wall - all sorts or 'tortures' where done to him , some of these things are actually tortures ; like being under the board with pressing weights , although in that case it could very easily be faked . The scary thing is , it may not be faked ! Anyway, this guy went on to explain what he had to endure all through his childhood , he never had a real childhood , just got trained to be some sort of circus gimp . He admitted he had developed terrible headaches , back problems, neck issues .... well, I wasnt surprised , they stuck his head between two concrete slabs and broke both with a blow from a sledgehammer ... in slow mo , you could see his head squish and flatten a bit at the blow and then 'bounce back ' . You can see this as a demonstration of chi if you want .... but I am seeing a very different story here .

    I had this experience yesterday at training , we train at a park, in town by the river , a beautiful spot . Anyway, it gets a few visitors , and sometimes people in the nearby car park , travellers and such staying overnight . First off I tagged this particular guy - I think I will avoid him . I could tell he was 'scanning' . Two others turn up for training and while we are waiting , he eavesdrops on conversation and interrupts , misinterpreting what was said and asking / calling out a question to me about it . I tell him not to worry about and he immediately has this little cranky tantrum and storms off angrily . He is checking us out from a distance during training . Afterwards I am walking across the bridge into town to have coffee with one of the guys who has his dog with him on lead , the dog is worried as the footpath is like a grate and he doesnt like it on his paws , so he is wanting to walk on the roadway and pulling lead . Weirdo guy is now coming the other way , makes weird assumptions about the dog and starts offering advice . Mate tells him (again ) not to worry about it . Guy amps up again . So it is explained to him, as my mate decides to walk the dog across on the road . Weirdo goes " Dont worry, I'll stop the traffic for you ." Now he is on the roadway , flagging down cars, stopping traffic ...... ey yyi yi ! Later I return to my car , weird dude is walking around car park 11 am with a half drunk longneck in hand ( large bottle of beer ) , now he is hunting some women that have slept overnight in a car ( a lot of people have been displaced on east coast here due to recent massive flooding - houses gone ) . I pass one, sitting on her folded out tailgate , she smiles pleasantly , I smile back . Weirdo is heading in her direction , but comes up to me and asks me how much I charge for lessons ! I say I dont charge for lessons . He says , that he will do' energy exchange' ... " I can do some gardening for you . " YOIKS ! I dont even want this guy to know where I live, let alone come around and put some of his 'energy' into my garden ! I did my usual ; " We are here each Saturday , turn up next week if you want a lesson ." 99% of the time they cant get that together . Then as I leave , I see he has sat himself on the tailgate of the woman's car , beer in hand ranting at her , as I past I look at here, she nods , but rolls here eyes in a " not ANOTHER one ! ' signal . And he wants me to give him lessons in what I do ? ? ? If he does turn up : Lesson 1 - sober up .... should only take you about 3 months .... come back after that for lesson 2 .

    Shotokan ! ? Oh dear . What a history I have had with THAT mob ! But I suppose we should not go too hard on them , of course that No 1 student could have been defeated - after all Shotokan was developed as a sport style from 'karate' style primary school kids physical education programme . A very different thing from Okinawan arts that where a blend of karate ( which itself developed from Chinese Fujian white crane and incorporated 'tegumi' , a type of native 'wrestling ' - locks, throws, take downs etc ) and kobudo - weaponry . Lesson 1 . Punching .... stomp up and down the hall punching and yelling ..... no no , dont punch like that , pull your other hand into your hip and leave it down there , and when you punch, leave that hand sticking out there in the air with your arm straight and extended . Why 'Sensai' ? So your guard will be down and I will be able to demonstrate 16 different ways to cream someone who punches wrong 'Evil Shotokan Master ' ( ) ; " WE shall subdue the world and bring all karate under the Shotokan / JKA umbrella ! " ..... or you will not be 'recognised' as valid ' .
  11. Acting on your true will

    Anyway , to press on with our subject (amidst jeers, catcalls, the outraged , and ' those upset due to past disciplinary actions ' ) I will venture to ask a question that was stimulated by the above interaction . How would we know or identify what our True Will is ?
  12. Acting on your true will

    Often when people try to mask their identity , they cant help slipping a mistake in or doing something stupid due to lack of imagination , like inventing a name that was like their last one , or a name that starts with the same letter as their old name ... Eh, Mr. G . .
  13. The 1100 ton Unfinished Obelisk

    I doubt you will get a response of any validity . Its an hour long vid ! I started and it took SOOOO long to get anywhere I gave up . Who has an hour to spare to watch the whole lot just to give you some feedback . You would be better off outlining his case in your post in text and giving us some reference times in the vid to check it . regarding your question : Who is more qualified to talk about this subject archaeologist or engineers ? I am sure you realise that would depend on what type of archaeologist and what type of engineer . I have a nephew that is a qualified archaeologist and I tried to engage him in conversation and he didnt have a clue what I was talking about ... and I am , in no way an archaeologist . He said he doesnt 'do that stuff' . What does he do ? he sits at a computer all day , entering data so it comes out as images . or 3 d scans etc . A modern engineer might be good at modern engineering , but what would he know about ancient engineering ? One might be better off to listen to someone like Mark Learner , who started off as an alternative ... geee maybe space aliens did all this type of guy , but was so determined to get an answer , started studying archaeology and Egyptology ( field you neglected to mention as a possible 'best' candidate for study ad solutions ) , graduated and is now respected in the main stream . But STILL, have heard him say really weird stuff that contradicts current theories and even what he said 10 mins earlier ! * But this is all on TV docos and, they are much like youtubes . Sorry to disappoint you , but you cant really learn about this stuff from youtubes . * tv doco is marvelling at pyramid of Khafre " WOW , we have discovered that this pyramid changed everything ... it broke tradition by being the first one to have its chamber at ground level , the others before it had them up in the body of the pyramid . " Abso BS ! The one before this broke 'tradition' by doing that , all others before that had ground level chambers . - they must mean that it was different than the one before it ? But no, they keep insisting . Then Learner comments that it it is different , than the ONE BEFORE IT . Okay, maybe commentary was pushing some exciting mystery ( fake ) BUT then at the end Learner says exactly that 'Its broken the tradition of all other pyramids before it by having its chamber at ground level . " So what's going on here ? TV thats what , its cut up, mixed around edited . Gotta look like something new and wonderful has been found 'cause ....... we just spent 10g on 'Lidar', 12 G on data point laser photography to make a cool 3 d model , plus the drone fees (all tech not available before ) so we need 'findings' to justify the expenses . In short, you cant learn much from youtubes and tv docos .... that is accurate . ... if I DO find I have a spare hour, I will try again , but if you want a discussion I suggest you do what I sad above . - it did get my curiosity though, I would LOVE to hear about any new VALID and NON STUPID* ideas on this . * like the guy that believed they used gold mirrors to focus the sun and melt through rocks = a 1 hr tv doco and at the end he couldnt even scorch a piece of paper with it .

  15. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    Apech ! You shouldn't laugh at people that have a smaller one than they are actually claiming . Its a fairly common problem in America . - I think I will just flop this out on the table to make my point :

    Regarding being 'a zapper' ( as said in video ) Sometimes at night, with light out getting into bed , I take off top, drop it on the ground and its alive with electricity running through it , you can see it in the dark, and its making a crackling sound . Under those conditions , if I finger tip touch any one ZAP ! But, in my case , I am assuming its a build up of static electricity . ...... but at other times , I can give people a real shock ... just from a handshake !

    Cant for the life of me see how why or when you need moderation for anything you wrote ??? Especially in a response to someone who continually brings up a contentious issue - under a smoke screen - in all sorts of ways.
  22. Acting on your true will

    I think he meant to say ; I am a troll on the internet that has already been banned from daobums but I snuck back in under another name (although I can be tracked to the same address ) What these types 'forget' is that they can be identified as their behaviour has not changed .... you would think they could mask it a bit .

    I missed this reply . Ohh ... please DO 'bore' me about that . I was wondering if SOME symbolism of djed goes back to ; ( you can even bend them over so ; which used to be common in many 'delta cultures'.

    ... I remember once doing tarot , a woman asked me at the end of the reading , how much money she could give me . My answer was , "If you are a struggling single Mum , then nothing , but since you are a very wealthy woman .... $50 . " She laughed and handed it over - pulling it out of a bunch of $50 s . The woman on the next stall, who was spying on us , said to me ; " Wow , your psychic ability is in good form today ! " DUDES! - The woman was wearing diamonds , gold ......

    Yup ! I wonder sometimes if some of 'us' want to be fooled ? I guess, if you are stuck in a rut of 'sameness' every day and removed from natural life and nature . Me ? I am amazed nearly every day by natural life and nature . . . the really magical stuff , I appreciate , but have no need to 'prove' it to others . I might even deny it ; Some think / have noticed ' strange things ' occur around me , sometimes they will ask " Did you do that ? " My answer is ' Of course not ! It was a 'coincidence ' . ( the wise will know why this is a good response )
