  1. Chapter One of the TTC

    Hmmmm ... 'glass' is one thing . 'A glass' is another thing . Listen here you lot ! Dont do to English what you are doing to TTC !
  2. Chapter One of the TTC

    ' That which contains the foundation of order, yet unseen . ' or .... ( since you are allowing 'grok' , then I am allowing ) ' warp storm ' .
  3. Endless desire

    'Soft' and flowing , yet achieves remarkable results over time with persistence . many movements ( including in other martial arts as well ) follow a wave like direction ( down to a low trough , up to high crest ) . It can also relate to gravity and balance ( keeping 'weight underside ' ) . I shall counter that with rich humor ; '' But what happened to that huge amount of money you had ?'' '' I spent tens of thousands on prostitutes , alcohol, drugs, gambling , partying ...... the rest , I wasted . '' .
  4. The radical honesty thread (also AMA)

    You are forgiven ... my son
  5. The radical honesty thread (also AMA)

    I'm going to bounce off you ; I wish I could ! I been in pain for three months with this shoulder injury ... only just now recovering ... constant pain is grind ... I need a rest from it . But I am now allergic to the forms of morphine described ... cant take it . I probably would have had some if I could . Occasional I lash out and drop a couple of panadol osteo . I dont 'especially like' mine ... just because they are family ; if I like you or not it is not based on blood connections . I think I passed that point a few weeks back . I like the stillness . I dont have bills ( just the phone ) ... I do have expenses ( eg . no power bill but occasionally I have to spend money on solar system ) YOu are right , bills will disappear ... well, transform actually , often into summonses .
  6. Is God love?

    Indeed they do ... the Greek Gods . However the Christian God is supposedly one of love . The OT God one of jealousy war and vengeance . Jesus was a bit of a hippy . I prefer a Goddess myself .... its good for my Anima
  7. Stranger things

    Not surprising ( the woman part ) , that find is dated a couple thousand years before Indo Europeans swarmed through Europe . What it might have been like before this happened : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Europe_(archaeology) Which extended into Spain ( see sites ; Atapuerca , Orce and ' Bell Beaker ' culture ) .
  8. Various scriptures have different origins . Avestas - Various oral traditions / 'hymns' that evolved through centuries that were later written down and standardized much later which was a small percentage of a much larger earlier collection . Judaism - adopted several different cultural stories ( from Canaanite , Zoroastrian and Babylonian sources ) and wrote a 'religious history ' lifted from Assyrians ( eg old 'United Kingdom' , Solomon and his 'empire ' ) , 'found ' a scared Book of Law ( Torah ) and wrote up a back story , attempting to take over the northern kingdom of Israel ( Josiah ) and eventually moved into some historical documentation of themselves after that . Christianity - 1/2 their scripture borrowed from the above and the other half are gospels , which are highly suspect and full of all sorts of other ideas and politics of the time . Islam - where do I start ? Actually ; pass . - aside from that , a few times I have shared my ideas about origins and spread of religions ..... post ice age , ie . human accrued experience, not divine revelation . - the further we go back the moire we attribute to as 'gifts from God/s ' . However to explore you question in the affirmative , look at 'progressive revelation ( eg within a religion ; that would be 'Christian progressive revelation ' ) or perhaps more in answer to your question , overall including all religions and times and peoples , ( see Baha'i progressive revelation concept ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_revelation_(Baháʼí) .
  9. Many Moons ago ... I was in a Wiccan coven , we had three fire horses in it ; one was an Aries and the other two a Leo and a Sagg It was a fun group . I made good friends with the Aries fire horse ... wow , just walking down the street with her ! - I'll tell just one story about her ; we had a pervy guy here that really annoyed everyone , any new woman that turned up he immediately 'went after ' ... he was also naturally 'urksome' so was not having much success . So my fire horse friend is visiting, he immediately starts hanging around . We go down to the river and a few people are there , we had a small sweat lodge by the river then and someone had been using it, the fire was still going . My friend was ''Oh cool ! A sweat lodge .'' strips naked and goes in . Pervy guy jumps up '' I will have a sweat too ! and drops his swimming shorts and goes in . After a few minutes he comes rushing out looking totally freaked out and doing this little hurried jog like a little boy rushing to the toilet holding his hands over and shielding his 'Pee-pee' , he grabbed his shorts and took off . Then my friend came out smiling . I asked her what she did to him ... but she would never tell me .
  10. I already read it ; You seem to think it is ; '' ... a rebellious, and lawless person. .... calling out "Satan be my god" .... stopped going to church,... this spirit was giving me lessons on chaos and order, .... decided to cause chaos...I used to harness this idea of chaos, as I would interact with others. It gave me a spiritual strength. Eventually I found myself manipulating energy with my mind. It was a form of magic. ..''
  11. That's a different type ... Caddie belongs to the ' Cadcam Buddhist Reformed Satanic Temple of Sitting Around and Doing and Thinking Nothing ' .
  12. The snow frames the window panes , the scent of the real Christmas tree wafts through the house . The fire burns brightly in the grate while Granddad naps in the chair after too much pudding and brandy sauce . Mum and Gran are cleaning up after the Christmas lunch, the kids play happily on the floor with their new toys and dad puts on some Christmas music ;
  13. I am reading the thread title of the thread you created and continue to post in .
  14. I am . YOU are the one that doubts what even a single word means . I even gave you an etymological dictionary for Christmas to help you . But I do realize some people can not be helped .
  15. I thought you sat in a room all day with no thoughts ... thats what you often claim . and in this thread you claimed to be a satanist ... they have 'monks now' ?
  16. Why not , tis the way of the modern world . I mean if it looks like a pair of scissors , thats enough to get out there on the market ... cheap plastic parts that are going to break so you will end up throwing the rest of the irreparable metal parts away , un-designed finger holes that hurt your fingers and blades that don't actually touch so they bend paper instead of cutting it . Chairs that look like a chair until you sit in it and realize it was never considered to support the human form properly . Cars full of high tech and safety and comfort gadgets that become useless due to some installed computer that does things for you that everyone did manually up to 10 years ago . ERrrmmm ... isnt that what I just did ? Like 'hard' and 'soft ' ? Well , I dont remember ever buying a word ... but I am pretty sure that birds are those critters that fly through the air , this thing I am drinking atm is 'coffee' abd it is out of a cup' . Life must be confusing for you to drink out of a cup and not be sure you know the name of it or even how to ask for a 'cup' of 'coffee' .... I guess you could mime it . Wow ..if you have that problem, imagine how confusing and hard for you to comprehend anything , especially when words are a communication medium ... say, like on an internet forum ! Actually I do that all the time . A few times here I have written about the meaning of the word religion ( relating to 'to bind' and in other cultures 'Law' . 'Enlightenment ? Ditto several times . Love .... mostly I talked about the two main distinctions between 'eros' and 'agape' . .. spirits ? Nah, we never talk about that word ( being associated with air , breath, life force , and (in my view ) essence . Then again, I never bought words , I do look into their meaning though here you go, this might help , I consult them all the time and often post info to clear up someone's confusion ; https://www.etymonline.com/ ( consider that your Christmas present ) Eh ? No wonder words confuse you ! Ya gotta get them in the right order . Eh ? What is my take on ' just if there isnt or it can not be seen or felt anymore - to me its fake ' just after you complained about the lack of clarity in the meaning of words ? _ I dont really know what to say about that . Usually around this point . I like to point out the hope of reptiles and whales to the sacred as well but I dont do it in a profane manner then again there are people who point out the sacred aspect within the most profane things so it makes sense and ...... ( no sorry , I cant fix the rest .. whales and reptiles are profane ? or , there is hope for them ? ... or , you have a secret code to explain to us what those words really meant ... I know ! You are going to examine the Book of Jonah in its original Hebrew to see what דָּג גָּדוֹל means ? what do those words actually mean ?
  17. at the end of it .... that would be the whale's arsehole .... so I am not sure what you inferred about the stairway to heaven ... I dont know about all that lining up and all those stairs , it seems very tedious and somewhat worse than Seaworld
  18. No ! This is serious business ! Do you realize all pretzels used to be soft ? ! Thats the original and true pretzel . It wasnt until that upstart , Martin Luther like , Julius Sturgis ( an American , of course ) decided to intentionally bake hard pretzels and market them , thus splitting the holy symbol into two followings . This 'Church of England America Pretzel ' now has influence world wide ; Hard Pretzels: Account for approximately 57% to 76% of total market revenue. Soft Pretzels: Account for approximately 24% to 43% of total market revenue. Thus overthrowing the once true and only pretzel . Gosh ! They are nearly like a 'Communion wafer ' ! ... except you can make them at home . [ No, I have no idea what that is . ]
  19. Dont pretzelytize ! Pretzelytize ; To convert or attempt to convert someone from one ( a mixed up hodge - podge of ) religion, belief, or opinion to another.
  20. Cool ! That is a major basis of Australian Aboriginal spirituality ( re distinct ethnicity and 'nations' connection to land , birthplace and identity ) . AI Overview; There were hundreds of distinct Aboriginal groups (often called tribes or nations) in Australia before European colonization, with estimates ranging from 500 to 600 different groups, speaking over 250 languages (or dialects), each with unique lands, cultures, and traditions, forming incredibly diverse societies across the continent I have also explored it with Tarot; ( not in a reading but ) a way of viewing the deck in its 'construction' , or a 'lay out ' . ... for 'countries and continents ' This has happened at least twice in this environment , Wibalma was one of them In Ngarinyin and Kimberley tradition, Wibalma was a visionary artist-ancestor credited with being the primary catalyst for Wunan Law, the ancient social and legal system of Northwest Australia. His role is defined by several key actions and characteristics: The Visionary Artist: Wibalma is described as the figure who "started society" through his art. He is closely associated with the Gwion rock art tradition (formerly known as "Bradshaw figures"), which serves as the original graphic legal documentation of the Wunan system. Creation of the Sacred Object: Traditional accounts state that Wibalma created a single sacred object of Justice (manjilarri), which became the catalyst for the entire Wunan legal framework. yes. In most ancient traditions they are related or a 'reflection' of one to another . In some places its even etched onto the stone giving a function of timing ( ie. when the image carved in the stone lines up in certain ways , with the images in the stars ). Your comment also made me think of what I call 'Earth Acupuncture ' . On a large scale : see Tibetan Sinmo https://rubinmuseum.org/the-demoness-of-tibet/ On a large scale ; temples or on your land , smaller scale , hammer in a few of these at the appropriate points Of course, personally I would not fuck with it ; down here landscape energies are regulated by natural features and all connected to the central feature ; Which is why the indigenous dont like people moving stuff around, taking rocks, changing landscape and especially dont like people 'mucking around with crystals ' as they dont know what they are doing ( indigenous have a highly secret active crystal technology that they use ) . .
  21. Of course they are ... this is Abrahamic religions discussion forum It is apparently a Christian religious answer . I never made a good Christian as a little fellah ... apparently I asked too many questions and was encouraged to drop all that .... just 'be good' , plod along, dont cause trouble, no rocking the boat , and stop being interested in all that other stuff you want to know about ... and eventually :
  22. Exactly ! Brilliant ! Classic example of a new age blend of east and west mysticism ... in that (in case you never realized) ; a pretzel is NOTHING like the infinity symbol .... a perfect demonstration of how the east and west mysteries correlate ! but then again, maybe you can not tell the difference ?
  23. Dont call me love . Somehow .... I missed that .
