Noooo ... most of those animals would be 'feral pets ' . I have feral pets . A GF once asked me about that ; '' What' a feral pet ? '' Me ; '' Its a native animal that relates to you with familiarity without being imprisoned or controlled, you can have all sorts of fun together , but when you are busy or go away somewhere they look after themselves ... no responsibility or hassle involved .'' She glared at me ... Me; '' What ?? '' '' I am a feral pet aren't I ? '' ''Ummmm ... errrmmm ..... '' She is a brilliant singer songwriter , a week or so later she ; '' I wrote you a special song ! '' Great ! let's hear it . She starts up on the guitar and then , something like ; '' Feral pet ... feral pet , you treat me like a feral pet , you do what you want , and you dont caaaaaare ! feral pet, feral pet ...... '' and so on .

Indeed ! Who needs all that 'extra trouble' . I was watching my boss once do 'paperwork' , he had a bunch of different stuff laid out on a table , including harassment from the taxation department , bills, insurance , some type of health and safety issue , the wages , and managing a repair on his private expensive vehicle and an issue with the trucks etc etc . ' heart attack ' material , in my book . I winced at it and he ' What;s that look for ?'' '' Ughh, I hate that stuff , that's why I am a bum and live simply and happy, do my work and at the end of the week , put my hand out and get money in it . Then after a few weeks I go back home to my cabin in the forest . .'' Boss ; '' Do you want to swap jobs ? ''

I am feeling nostalgia for a time I want to have . Yesterday I said to someone ; '' I am going to make my own commune and say who lives there or not ! '' Friend; '' Who might that be ?'' '' Me for a start , then various birds, including some tawny frogmouths, a flock of crimson rosellas , a wedge-tailed eagle, a collection of pademelons and potoroos, two wombats , a pond with some fish and three donkeys .

because everyone is different , some things suit one type of person (or group of people ) and other things other people . What may be a waste of time for you , might not be for another . Words are but one path in both magick and yoga ; incantations and mantra . Like the other paths they can lead to either illumination or ignorance , depending on which direction you are heading on that path . . and within each of those paths people have different learning styles or abilities ; to understand some principles some need words, some objects , some need an experience , some learn by internals or externals . Some even believe or prefer to 'just use words ' ... say it, and it is .... as if a few 'magic words' can short cut what should be , a deep process that might take time to effect internal change .

Sounds good . I was thinking lets start at the top and look at what Nut might have meant to those ancient Egyptians (at that time and perhaps other times ; her development etc. ) and what she might mean to us . And then the same with the 'winged disc' . Then the same with that form of Horus . ( To me some prime triad is suggested .) Then the priest , who is the forth or material 'mode' or function ( as in my 'ideal triad ' manifesting as a 4th 'material principle { 3 : 4 theory observed throughout nature and physics } ) . - as a background to the dynamics in the text . Of course, if you want to go straight to text and interpretation , I am all for that too I am old too .... ( but I ain't got much else to do in this padded cell in Portugal )

As is a large part of the world old3bob .

'Just like' is better , still it isnt a muscle . It works different to a muscle . But then again I am old . A muscle has a distinct role and function , like a bicep , it only has limited movement and purpose and structure , any exercise for that muscle is within those boundaries . This might apply for when the brain is developing its early skills , like talking , walking , and making sense of the sensory kaleidoscope it has been hurled ( born ) into . When you get older it is not 'exercise' that keeps it going (instead of breaking down and deteriorating ) , like we exercise a muscle ... you need a new format from what you have done before in concert with a muscular movement that is new or unusual to you ... to 'burn' new neural pathways through the old 'brain fog' . If you want to exercise your brain / motor muscle interface .... try this Escrima exercise ; Use you sticks , or any sticks or a pointed index finger and out in front of you trace a square in the air .. work on making it even and a proper geometric square ... practice that . Then do it with both hands at once . Now move to a triangle , follow the same procedure . Now it gets fun ; at the same time make a triangle with one hand and a square with the other . After that you can move on to 'exercising the brain' alone with complex magical meditations ( usually staring with geometric and other shapes eg 'egg shape ' for spirit ) , then combinations of one shape inside another , then rotating gears in levels of complexity , the relative sizes of us, earth , and other planets relative sizes, and movements ..... as in Liber Βατραχοφρενοβοοκοσμομαχια sub figurâ DXXXVI https://hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib536

Nice Intro . Where do we go from here ?

I have had to defend my 'castle ' ( cabin and site ) from attack and seizure , and the land around it on which a dozen homes are built ... and won ! Here in this peaceful and understanding country , we dont use cannons ... just bullshit interpretation of government legislation, the projection of false force and rule and the confounding doublespeak of formal court legality dressed up in robes and wigs of office and a false dignity that looks down on others . Still , I kicked their arse ! WE are still here ! If I may borrow your flag for a moment .....

Of use ? I think the distinction is of supreme importance . The brain is like a flock of birds , it just supplies the hardware for the mind to operate 'down on ' this polarity . The mind is that multi dimensional field that allows the 'bird / brains' work like this ; The dream is in the brain and the mind . The physical memory is in the body ... as the genetic memory is in the genes ... the ancient physical memory is in the reptilian brain - or hind brain , down into the brain stem . The higher functions are 'blank memory' circuits , yet to be programmed , or in some cases being programmed . - see Exo-psycholgy - the 8 circuit brain .

But you know the brain isnt a muscle ..... ergo ?

A very dear friend of mine suffered bad sexual abuse as a young girl . Her and her step-sister (in a similar situation from the same man) did a runner from their small rural and a bit isolated community - a few farms together in a small inland valley . Eventually they took off ..... 'went bush ' . Now they were free but in fear of being 'hunted' and bought home or being turned in to the authorities and now, two young teens alone in the bush ... they still did not feel safe . One day two women riders found their vacant camp . By looking at the camp, they knew something was up ; whosoever camp it was , it looked like they knew somewhat what they were doing, but some indications made them curious and worried . So they went looking for them . And they tracked and found them . My friend said, if they had not realized they were women, they would have taken off . They sat and chatted with the two older women , who seemed amazingly understanding and sympathetic when they heard their story . '' You need to come with us , we have a safe place , you will fit right in ..'' So they did , and that is how that (now a ) woman came to live for a while , and have times of refuge, at 'Women's Land ' . She picked up some skills there too , as women do everything there , and teach others . - Women's Land is a near myth around here , it has been going for a long time . Its a closed rural community out in the 'semi-wilderness'. One can imagine from the title .... no men allowed . It was started for women ( and perhaps by women ) that had a similar experience to those girls . That woman, who was that little girl was my GF for a time and when I found out what area she spent her young days in I asked her ; ''Hey ! Have you ever heard of Women's Land ? is it a real place ? '' '' Women's Land ! .... Heard of it ? .... I used to live there ! and run away to there all the time ! '' ( Thats how I heard this story ) . - I guess I found my 'special place ' as well

Hmmmm ... I can agree with that regarding wrong attention . But with a correct attention to her, she can teach us how to behave so our harm is either minimal or ' manageable ' .

In my selfish world ... a little bit of old3bob in the morning helps me

Suggests ! ? Of course they are not going to teach us our full function ! Part of the reason you ... or at least I, incarnated was to fulfill the potential of our unseen boundaries . The big problem is either we have been tricked, deluded or insisted upon that boundary is small or , from ego, imagine it is larger than it is . Then something is wrong with her garden . I am surrounded by HUGE areas of forest that I never look it ... seems to be doing fine to me .... and was doing fine since Gondwanaland ... when no people were around to look at anything . The audacious self of the human ego of the human ego can be astounding ! Ask a dog about that

Where are the High Level Martial Artists/Fighters at?
Nungali replied to Goden's topic in The Rabbit Hole
My teacher never fought competition , never ran a school for money , never had big classes . When his very famous teacher passed on. several claimed to be the new leader and master , he never did . The one that did and still is, I think , cannot show any authority from that master that says he is now the head . However my teacher inherited the masters sword and weaponry . Also my teacher looked after him for years at the end when he was infirm . No would know who this man is , he was a quiet and humble person . teaching individuals and small groups, yet many high level instructors and other masters came to see and learn from him. When teacher died a few from here went to Okinawa for his funeral , they said there were a large amount of people from OS attending . His neighbours wondered why all the people from different countries , they were told that was because he was a very accomplished and world famous ( with those 'in the know' ) martial artist . The neighbours were surprised, they never knew that about him . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosei_Nishihira- 189 replies

Of course but this a 'structural thing' and several other indicators like the Wiccan Charge old form being lifted from the Mass excerpts , especially in its older form , it got changed a bit more after Gardiner to make it less like Crowley's . Not that ot matters but one notices it when one has done both rites . Well, there is the early 'Magical Masons' influence as well and the guys that formed the O.T.O. pre Crowley had Indian and Sufi tantric influences and also ' Tantra on the Prairie' / 'Cowboy tantra ' early mid-west USA and .... damn forgot his name , an African American fellow someone Randolph or Thomas Johnson or ? ,,, urghhh Found it ! There are also other names mentioned in the aticle that can be tracked down elsewhere for their history ; Thomas Johnson: Platonism Meets Sex Magic on the Prairie https://newtopiamagazine.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/thomas-johnson-platonism-meets-sex-magic-on-the-prairie/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ODGE2f7gLQ No! None at all ! You must have missed the first post where I described a bit of process . In short , one thing that happened was a guy at the festival from OS started a fight . Old Uncle (not the one in the video ... he is senior ) was right on it and me and fire guardian were beside him either side . he got a talking to and was escorted to the circle where a deep process was gone through . I won;t recount it again here but what I noticed was the different way of doing things . he was immediately expelled by the organizer and told to leave at once . Uncle overruled that ... or just did it anyway because as he said ''That Man is sick and needs healing and he should not be just set loose on whoever else out there or he himself might get hurt or have an accident ( due to his state ) . The camp I used to go to further north that my friend ( a different language group / tribe ) is elder at and is site guardian for the nearby sacred sites (including initiation sites ) is 'grog-free' as a few places and some whole areas are . There are many levels of teaching and access , the higher ones are more restricted , stories and knowledge begin at a 'kindergarten level' those are fairly open ... the higher ones, the more 'cred' you would need . Also it helps to be ..... 'deadly '
