I think we are all really, if not eclectic, at least unique in our own understandings , applications and experiences , even within a very 'narrow' sect . My father died when I was around 17 . Not a peep out of him afterwards ! One that I dont count ; a deep magical psychological deep sea dive into the unconscious in a very uncomfortable ritual revealed a phantom deep down , that was but a mere physiological projection of my personal guilt . It actually blamed me for his death ! That made me angry somewhat so I gave it what for , in the process, releasing some pent up angst I had about it ( he had a heart attack , a 'miracle recovery' was told to take early retirement , and keep doing what he loved but to stop work - his job was really stressful - he got a ticket out the rat race an ORDER from the doctor to spend the rest of his time relaxing, fishing , at the beach etc . everything he loved . What did he do ? Felt 'useless' , went back to work and was dead in 3 months ! No communication with Mother either after she died . But a 'vague presence ' sometimes , nothing significant. Maternal Grandfather ? OH YEAH ! He is like an old familiar spirit , a dog asleep by the fire . Its like he is in slumber and at times communicates . I have his picture up , I only have two pics up in my whole place . I first met him , post mortem, years and years after he left , it was a real surprise ! Here I was, about 25 ( he died when I was about 12 ) on a v.good 'clear light' acid trip , happily cruising along through the stars , sitting cross legged on the concrete platform of our verandah , that had turned into a magic carpet, happily watching the view, and along comes Grandpa , sitting up in his fav lounge chair ( with the old Art DEco chrome table stand, black round top and chrome astray with matchbox holder to the side) , puffing on his pipe . A long communication was had that included this information ; Me ; ' But ... how come you are 'out here ' , zooming along this ? G ; " Oh, I learnt to do this way back . In the war ( WWI) as you know, I got captured by the Germans and put in a prison , that was bad . VERY bad , I had to get out , but I couldnt get get out ..... but I knew I HAD to I ( emphasis ) had to ... but my body could not get out and then one time .... pop ! I left my body . Thats how I learned t do it . " There is another, the other photo I have up . I won't say too much about her here except to say , the 'contact' and things related to that are probably 10 times more vivid than Gramps ! This has really convinced me and its been going on for years . I'll give one example . By now ( I looks around the fire at the faces watching ) you might realise how critical and sceptical I can become - analyse a thing to death . My tradition has always been one ''scientific illuminism ' , attempting to use the principles of science (in experiment, research and applications ) , regarding spirituality . So I test and question things and experience extensively . I was doing this with this experience .... and it started to piss her off . I am thinking of alternatives; imagination , wow you have a VERY active imagination ! But , maybe it wasnt due to a, b , c .... but then I analyse them and come up with alternatives ..... maybe this , maybe that , but they too suggested 'strange powers ', telepathy in others , etc , Taking validity from one psychic event and giving it to another psychic event seemed to be missing the whole point . Was I being overly critical and sceptical about my own experience ? Yes, I think so because it actually pissed her off ! In one of our conversations ,at a party in a friends yard , of all places . When I was running through my doubts in my head and trying to 'explain her away ' she got really pissed off and warned me she would leave if I kept it up and would give me one last chance , one last demo or should leave me . Very clearly , she said " In a moment , A.... is going to walk over to you and say ' ...... ......... ........ and ......... .......... " - then gone ! No contact . I am thinking , that is so weird , I think I am starting to loose the plot with this . And why would A .... even say that to me , she would not even know about that ! Then, Look over at A ..... she is talking with a group of people in the garden, drink in hand , she looks up, around, looks at me , walks over to me and says EXACTLY what was predicted , sorta smiles , looks a little confused and walks off . I did have a little flutter of " Maybe she read my mind and then ..... " but there I go doing it again ! so I shut up . Later I went 'cap in hand , head bowed' " I have been a real dick with this haven't I ? " Anyway, whats happened since has been rather phenomenal ! When some of us pass on , we are , let's say 'unfamilar' with that realm and process , we are like helpless little babies in a new world , we are taken care of by the dedicated ( just as we have nurses and such here ) , some are damaged and 'up for rehabilitation' * and others 'transition' well and seem to be able to function well there ( and in their 'dreams' are able to part contact us ) . I think, due to this process / time period , it might be why some seem to be able to contact us soon after death and others , not for a while . Or maybe they are 'resting' or busy with a potential 'universe' of possible tasks, dreams and desires ; journeys through or stays in 'Kama-loka' through to' Devachan' realms . The Great Balancing . Ma'at as Daena - the reception at Devachan *; * Thats not the title of the image , I just made that up. "Its all deeply spiritual stuff, mate ! "

Its becoming quite the defunct term in academia lately .... but pop culture doesnt help . We now have things like 'of ....... (Asian or whatever ) ... appearance . or as some state now " of ....... ancestry " or instead an identification not with 'race ' but 'ethnicity ' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) " The term was first used to refer to speakers of a common language and then to denote national affiliations. By the 17th century, the term began to refer to physical (phenotypical) traits. Modern science regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society.[2] While partially based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning " Today, scientists consider such biological essentialism obsolete,[6] and generally discourage racial explanations for collective differentiation in both physical and behavioral traits.[7][8][9][10][11] Even though there is a broad scientific agreement that essentialist and typological conceptions of race are untenable,[12][13][14][15][16][17] scientists around the world continue to conceptualize race in widely differing ways Even though there is a broad scientific agreement that essentialist and typological conceptions of race are untenable,[12][13][14][15][16][17] scientists around the world continue to conceptualize race in widely differing ways.[18] While some researchers continue to use the concept of race to make distinctions among fuzzy sets of traits or observable differences in behavior, others in the scientific community suggest that the idea of race is inherently naive[7] or simplistic.[19] Still others argue that, among humans, race has no taxonomic significance because all living humans belong to the same subspecies, Homo sapiens sapiens. Since the second half of the 20th century, the association of race with the discredited theories of scientific racism has contributed to race becoming increasingly seen as a largely pseudoscientific system of classification . "

Ooooo ..... remember what happened last time !

yes, good .... this IS getting more and more just like one of our old nights out in the forest at home . Its dynamic and flamboyant as well ; a bunch of dramatic magical Thespians ..... on psychedelics . .

Multiple . We all are . A magician / psychonaut realises that . Your regular person operates under the 'handy illusion' of 'a self' , a single self. But that can become fractured , some parts 'split off' and strive to get or claim their own identity , separate from the 'Master Controller ' . Without any method of reintegration then we have 'personality disorder ' . The Magician strives for 'personalities order' and integration . When achieved it is a powerful tool . It aint that strange a concept really, physically , during our evolution we have incorporated and absorbed a HEAP of other life forms and organisms that now all work together ( most of the time ) in and integrated being . And not just our body but our brain and consciousness ; " Under this view, called “constitutive panpsychism,” matter already has experience from the get-go, not just when it arranges itself in the form of brains. Even subatomic particles possess some very simple form of consciousness. Our own human consciousness is then (allegedly) constituted by a combination of the subjective inner lives of the countless physical particles that make up our nervous system. " ..... " And here is where dissociation comes in. We know empirically from DID that consciousness can give rise to many operationally distinct centers of concurrent experience, each with its own personality and sense of identity. Therefore, if something analogous to DID happens at a universal level, the one universal consciousness could, as a result, give rise to many alters with private inner lives like yours and ours. As such, we may all be alters—dissociated personalities—of universal consciousness." https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/could-multiple-personality-disorder-explain-life-the-universe-and-everything/ .

Thats how I started - Shotokan , they just about had the world market back then . . I guess you know the history ( the first hidden contents box in OP ) . One of the biggest 'cultural appropriations' in history - I was involved in a conversation recently where some where saying the Japs didnt actually claim that form of school boy karate from Okinawa at all ..... Ummmm , dude, the Japanese 'appropriated ' the whole country of Okinawa and started telling everyone it was part of Japan . Ho-hum . Good then next you can work with (if you haven't already ) focus and energy input and output in hara while doing movement , testing with 'distractions' * and finally through all techniques . * stand there concentrating on hara , instructor rushes at you screaming and striking with boken and stops a hair width from your face ; " Did you loose concentration ? " I LOVED one of the forms of battodo ( I put a vid up here of it somewhere ) . First time I saw it I was ' Hey ! Thats some of the stuff I do ..... I am not crazy after all .' Some times I think they might think that at training with my 'impolite (sneaky) attacks' - what if someone does this , does that ; tries to stop your draw , you do not draw to 'en guard' or while attacked , etc . Attack from the back, as they walk past each other , in pursuit , what ever one can think of , and apply the correct principles . .

A 'type of ' Qi Gong . In 'Old Style Karate' , a form pre last century that survived in some traditions and teachers that where not effected by the huge changes in karate * that came about in early 1900's . * Some basic stages of training : Tanden. Special breathing to concentrate ki in the 'hara' / " Sea of Ki " . Shoshyyuten. Learning to circulate the energy, first through two main channels ; Governor ( and 6 positive related 'vessels' ) and then Conception ( and the six negative related ) vessels . 'Small Circle of the Sky' Daishyuten. 'Large circle of the sky' . Ki circulates through whole body and limbs , usually done in one particular stance , 20 mins at a time or more . 'Grounding ' . 'Immovable' body , push and lift tests . Ki is led through soles of feet to earth and through correct body alignment any kinetic force flows that way . 'Projecting ' . Similar but now energy is directed out of arms , through fingers , joints , as needed according to posture and movement . Eg exercises are 'unbendable arm' or 'push' ( or 'surge' ) and many similar techniques like we might see in Tai Chi This flows into 'energy projection' . It is NOT contactless but greatly increases the power of seemingly light contact , eg. 'one inch punch' . There is more, it goes onto 'Ekkin' to do with 'tendon changing' and 'Senui' ' bone marrow cleansing' ( I have been trying to avoid non English terms where I can .) When its all put together and combined with things like ( for example in Matsamura , founder of my style and personal body guard to King Sho , his renown ) blindingly fast speed and ferocious countenance . One might get an idea of how these old Masters trained and fought - very different from what passes off general as 'karate' today .

Try this instead ; What 'other guy' ? Dont focus on any one person but think there might be 'passers -by ' that occasionally read, understand and learn . The ones that are not happy to learn will ignore it and you will not know, or they will try to negatively engage with you , then you can deal with that how you will . Just be discerning who you engage with then . It can be .... but occasionally the type of person that I think you are referring to pops up ..... I mean , poops up .

After seeing that picture I now understand how some top quality hash ( I read about ) was 'clear ' .... clear hash ? ? ?

My fav flav for green is 'G.I. Lime ' - smells exactly like this old school cordial, which actually smells nothing like lime . They changed the formulae now so it smells different again to this crap ; Old school version - ebay $50 a bottle !

Indeedy doo ! It was delightfully 'one dimensional' . I thought it was having no effect , so smooth , then gradually 'everything went golden ' ... like a nice smooth relaxing near psychedelic , no body effect but a mild 'physical euphoria', nothing like 'couch lock' or fogginess , etc . A Tale of Hashish . A bunch of nurses and me go out to a Leb restaurant on NYE on year . We where a bit rowdy . The waiter was suave / seedy Lebo . He starts getting 'Middle- Eastern Man cheeky' and says to one of the girls ; " YOU ! Woman , dance for me ! " And she goes; " Okay . " Jumps up on the table, kicks a few things out the way and starts doing a sexy dance . He is ; " Okay okay ! Thats enough, get down now . " Then someone pegged him in the back of the head with a bread roll . Oh-O! But he seemed to take it well, walks calmly off to kitchen but then comes back with a carton of 1 doz eggs holding up two as if to throw them at us " You want to take me on ? ! " We are crouching down, hiding behind menus ... " We surrender, we give up ! " Then I ; " Can we smoke hash in here ? " " Of course not ! People will smell it , i am not having that happen in my restaurant , besides what would YOU LOT know about hash ... show it to me ! " < inspects it > " Harumph! You call that hash ? RUBBISH ! " He leaves and returns and shows us this huge lump " THIS is hashish ! " Oooooooo the smell ! " Can we smoke some of that ? " " I told you NO ! " storms off . What a strange guy . But then he returns pushing this little antique brass cart with shelves , on the top is antique middle eastern coffee pot, coffee container , little copper fry pan, a little charcoal fire in a brazier , grinder , cups, etc. he puts some beans and some crumbled up hash and cardamom pods in the fry pan and roasts them , grinds them up, puts it in pot pours on hot water , pours from pit into the little cups ...... MAN ! WOW! I think this is the drink you first get when entering heaven

Yeah , I luv that pic ! I could live in that, if I breathed water . many an hour I have spent watching the surf (and being in it ) . I was particularly fond of riding my trail bike off through the sandhills, out to the coastal cliffs, take a break and lie face down over the edge and watch the surf smash onto the rocks below . Especially at 'the hole in the rock' , it had a ladder you could climb down and access a lower cave and then a further drop to the ocean .... massive swell used to smash in there and hard core fisherman built huts on the cliff ! ..... I remember as a little un, some of my first fishing trips with Dad and big brother , I saw some of those guys ... its all gone now though . Tabbidgai - 'The Dragons Teeth' ; " Look out ! Here comes a big one - close the windows ! " ( if you look closely at the rocks jutting out into sea at lower left , you can see some of the dragon's teeth .) .

I just noticed something curious about the light beams here , particularly the end of each light beam - more prominent on those to the right ... the little flames that 'light' their 'crown chakras' up * . In my experience the light came out from Mary / Moon / Queen of the Stars / 'Cosmomum ' , 'my soul' * , in a beam and smacked me dead centre forehead / ' third eye ' ... where I remained transfixed for some time . A LOT of info passed along that beam .... I am still accessing it to this day . As I move on along towards death , it continues to open like a beautiful and radient flower . * which now, to me, is revealing itself as something entirely different to a 'spirit' or an 'astral double' or anything else .

And I was supposed to be 'creepy ' ! People sitting around a campfire at night ....... with their faces missing ! YIKES !

For me , 'Mary' was IN the light . I was about 9. After a 'few preliminaries' to do with a ' hypnagogic ' effect of sun on water and other things I looked up - a blinding white light that 'split open' and allowed me to see into it and there she was . I had no recognition of 'Mary' at that stage, although she looked pretty much like her I realised later . This has probably been one of the most significant events in my spiritual life . Constantly , and continually more has been revealed to me about this as time passed . So many things have slotted together around this ; my source of wisdom and genius * , intuitions, knowledge , 'protections' , 'leadings' , my astrological make up , my work , spiritual connections all through my life . Stella Maris , patron and protector of mariners and all those that travel upon the sea - Our Lady, the Star of the Sea . A guiding light , a lighthouse to illuminate the dangerous shore and rocks of disaster or refuge. And what is this Sea ? It s the depth of the psyche, the unconscious , The Great Sea - Binah - The Great Mother , to which we shall return . (I have noticed the pictures of her in her form ' Madonna de la Guadalupe', is often depicted with a similar light / sky 'peeling back / splitting open ' ? 'aura' to reveal her within ; My parents even sent me to 'Our Lady Star of the Sea primary school . Later research revealed to me another way to look at and comprehend the nature of our 'soul' ; https://www.theoi.com/Ouranios/Psykhe.html Then I discovered the Zoroastrian concept of 'The Daena ' . As much as I can make out , forces deep within our psyche interact during life , we may or may not become aware of them , investigate them ..... decide to dedicate ourselves to the path of the psychonaut , or not . The Psykhe myth seems to explain them well ; the characters of the soul, ego the 'Id' ( " DO NOT look at him in the light ... { Psykhe's 'jealous sisters' } ... you have been married to a monster ! " ) and other internal dynamics . At death, 'the cords are loosened ' and our various parts separate . I think the soul 'takes off' and another part of us , follows it and 'goes into the light' , 'ascends the ladder' 'crosses the bridge' . In Zoroastrianism it is the 'Chinvat Bridge ' and on the other side of it is our Daena , our luminous soul that leads us into the realm , beyond that bridge . What 'builds up' our Daena , our companion ? First and most basically, the '3 principles' of good thoughts words and deed but also ; " Daena is a feminine noun which translates to "that which is seen or observed". In Zoroastrianism: An Introduction to an Ancient Faith, Peter Clark suggests that the term might also be tied to the Avestan root "deh" or "di-" to gain understanding "The Vendidad portrays Daena as something of a psychopomp " " ... the ruvan encounters the dainā, which is an embodiment of the sum of its deeds during life, " " ... the moral element in personality ." Meh < waves them away with his hand > Not many westerners seem to realise the import and significance of Zoroastrianism ( being a repository and origin of MANY forms of western spiritual concepts, religion and magic ( ' Magi ) . here is 'the juice' ; https://iranicaonline.org/articles/den “the sum of man’s spiritual attributes and individuality, vision, inner self, conscience, religion.” " In the Gathas daēnā (which is only “ahuric”) denotes “vision, conscience, individuality.” Stanley Insler (p. 69) suggests “conception,” " In the Avesta (q.v.) daēnā in the sense of “conscience” is one of the five spiritual faculties, together with axw “vital strength,” baoδah “perception,” urvan “soul,” and fravaši “the everlasting and heavenly tutelary of material beings” (Y. 26.4)." " the ruvan encounters the dainā, which is an embodiment of the sum of its deeds during life, " Dēn is not only divine wisdom but also its emanation as innate human wisdom (āsn-xrad), a principle with far-reaching implications, for all beneficial knowledge thus of necessity falls within the compass of dēn. This important feature is apparent .... .... W T F ! Everyone's gone to bed ! * 'genius' https://appliedjung.com/your-daemon-your-genius/

Sorry , your other poem was deemed too controversial Gerald

Nah ! 'Split' implies only two .

Lockdown comedy sketch on tv Knock knock .... husband and wife look at each other strangely , one goes to door " Who is it ?" "Pizza Man " . Annoyed , opens door " We asked for contactless delivery . " " Yeah ..... but its hard to get a tip that way . " They take the box , feel it is light, open it " This is an empty box . " " I was told to leave the pizza on the doorstep . "

My answer is ; if someone is competent enough to really send out an ethereal transmission, to assist in the personal growth of an individual, then they should at least be competent enough to know if they sent it or not . .

Happy New Year !
