  1. Wild cats

    Its not really a cat . Its a marsupial called a ' native cat' as they fulfilled the role of feleformia ' here in this environment . He was a 'cheeky fellow ' * ( The thylacine was called 'Tasmanian Tiger' which related more to its 'stripes , but its niche was more like caniformia. ) Spotted Quoll ( or 'Tiger Quoll ' , just to confuse things more ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_quoll The rainforest around here is one of their rare habitats . Ummm .... dont try to pick one up . *
  2. We have a vaccine!

    Yet ....... can you even follow a conversation ? But above you where saying how you did trust experts . - can you even follow your own conversations ? Are there any groceries I can pick up for you while ........ I am out shopping ?
  3. We have a vaccine!

    Ummmm ........ advertising dude ! Did you know that every toothpaste commercial features a real expert dentist ? ... well, he does have a white coat on !
  4. We have a vaccine!

    'Fainted' did she ??? many people have fainted from a needle , or after giving blood or 'feel faint ' at the sight of a needle .... But they usually recover ... and go back to some type of normality .... like responding to her social media
  5. What is Fear?

    Enough time has passed . Limi should be in bed by now ......
  6. What is courage?

    That made me think about the unreasonable fear that seized me after I bonded with the twins . So this is 'parenthood' ... or a taste of it (since I wasnt their father ) . But it wasnt about death , more about 'arrested ' or 'interfered with ' development . But , they are strong little spirits and survived all sorts of stuff ..... not much is going to change them , they are 'triumphing' against the attempts ! - just like me !
  7. What is Fear?

    Thanks for the reply . In my practice , 'the earthly portion' IS divine . Welcome to heaven (if you can find it ) .
  8. What is Fear?

    Oh goodness no ! here let me sooth you with a little night -time pre sleep comforting ; Now you lay you down to sleep I pray the Lord your soul to keep and if you should DIE before you wake ....... .

  10. What is Fear?

    You dont fear me do you Limi ?
  11. What is Fear?

    No thanks . The eating of fruit and the distribution of its seeds makes this food 'good karma'
  12. What is Fear?

    Then I dont think you are going to find what you want here on this (or any) internet forum . You are in the wrong place . This is probably why you are getting frustrated and angry with us all . (and to pre-empt Limi )
  13. What is Fear?

    Dislodge ? How about a 'divine marriage ' ?
  14. What is Fear?

  15. What is courage?

    Courage To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite; To forgive wrongs darker than death or night; To defy Power, which seems omnipotent; To love, and bear; to hope till Hope creates From its own wreck the thing it contemplates; Neither to change, nor falter, nor repent; This, like thy glory, Titan, is to be Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free; This is alone Life, Joy, Empire, and Victory!
  16. What is courage?

    You left out C ' C. Not going to stop despite A & B ' You left out C
  17. Tangki spirit-medium ritual

    I dont feel as good and joyful about all the things I have been given. I sort of 'take them for granted' and the amazing miracle of just being alive .... and everything that comes after it , passes me by .
  18. What is Fear?

    Minister at pulpit ; " And at the end of days , there will be a great gnashing of teeth ! " Old man at the front ; " But I aint got no teeth ! " Minister : " The Lord will provide teeth for those that have none to gnash ! "
  19. What is Fear?

    " My dear chap ....... they all are ! "
  20. Actually , individuals 'whom are unconscious' are not going to do much at all .
  21. Tangki spirit-medium ritual

    Yes they do. But in my tradition it is a little different . The favours are freely given to those that follow Law , just by asking for them and then the offerings are given to show appreciation and gratitude .
  22. Tangki spirit-medium ritual

    I am wondering how ancient these type of rituals are . Some of the Australian Indigenous practices ( still extant in some places , if not, only recently stopped historically ) are some of the oldest in the world and have some similarities - of course the 'cultural clothing ' is different but it is often the method and reason that is similar ; " ... self-mortification rituals performed by spirit-mediums 1 ..... First, hacking, skewering, and poking the body with various weapons is considered a form of self-sacrifice. Second, the weapons that pierce the flesh are believed to imbue the Tangki with spiritual power needed in their battle with demonic forces that pervade every corner of daily life.2 Third, the resulting blood is believed to have demonifugic properties 3, .... exorcize evil spirits that cause bad luck and mental and physical illnesses.4 " 1. Although the Shaman may do it to themselves they will often say the spirits did it to them , eg. " The spirit threw a quartz rod lance and it pierced my tongue " and then he shows his tongue with a large permanent hole trough it . Other types of 'mortification are accrued over time , age and level of initiation, scarification seeming the most common ( cutting with stone or shell and packing the cut with ash ) Note : They do not see it as a 'cruel' process and have a different view about it from ours . When they first saw pain ( flogging) being used as a punishment , they where horrified . 2. In the above case , the quartz lance was kept 'inside his body' where it was placed afterwards . Such things do help in spiritual battles and they also see the world imbued with demonic forces that pervade every corner of daily life. 3. Certain ceremonies where they are covered in blood it is left on , never washed off - eventually the physical part of the substance wears off . In some places it can be seen in civilisation ; someone might come into town from a remote area for supplies ; they will be very quiet , 'shy' eyes downcast , usually with a hoodie pulled down and long sleeves over hands . If you get a peak under the hoodie you might see see the dried blood in their hair . 4. Yes, they definitely think those things are caused are caused by evil spirits . Hence the rituals and actions to repel or control them . Of course, a high level shaman ( kaidiacha or 'clever man' ) will have those very same 'evil spirits' as his protectors and guardians - trouble comes about by not following their laws , or other peoples misuse of their law and power .
