The world soul (Greek: ψυχὴ κόσμου psychè kósmou; Latin: anima mundi) is, according to several systems of thought, an intrinsic connection between all living things on the planet, which relates to the world in much the same way as the soul is connected to the human body. Plato adhered to this idea and it was an important component of most Neoplatonic systems: Therefore, we may consequently state that: this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence ... a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anima_mundi No doubt Jung was familiar with hermetics and Platonism . The last part of last century the concept resurged as 'Gaia' . Invocation to Gaia We ask for the presence of the spirit of Gaia and pray that the breath of life continue to caress this planet home. May we grow into true understanding ― a deep understanding that inspires us to protect the tree on which we bloom, and the water, soil and atmosphere without which we have no existence. May we turn inwards and stumble upon our true roots in the intertwining biology of this exquisite planet. May nourishment and power pulse through these roots, and fierce determination to continue the billion-year dance. May love well up and burst forth from our hearts. May there be a new dispensation of pure and powerful consciousness and the charter to witness and facilitate the healing of the tattered biosphere. We ask for the presence of the spirit of Gaia to be with us here. To reveal to us all that we need to see, for our own highest good and for the highest good of all. We call upon the spirit of evolution, the miraculous force that inspires rocks and dust to weave themselves into biology. You have stood by us for millions and billions of years — do not forsake us now. Empower us and awaken in us pure and dazzling creativity. You that can turn scales into feathers, seawater to blood, caterpillars to butterflies, metamorphose our species, awaken in us the powers that we need to survive the present crisis and evolve into more aeons of our solar journey. Awaken in us a sense of who we truly are: tiny ephemeral blossoms on the Tree of Life. Make the purposes and destiny of that tree our own purpose and destiny. Fill each of us with love for our true Self, which includes all of the creatures and plants and landscapes of the world. Fill us with a powerful urge for the wellbeing and continual unfolding of this Self. May we speak in all human councils on behalf of the animals and plants and landscapes of the Earth. May we shine with a pure inner passion that will spread rapidly through these leaden times. May we all awaken to our true and only nature — none other than the nature of Gaia, this living planet Earth. We call upon the power which sustains the planets in their orbits, that wheels our Milky Way in its 200-million-year spiral, to imbue our personalities and our relationships with harmony, endurance and joy. Fill us with a sense of immense time so that our brief, flickering lives may truly reflect the work of vast ages past and also the millions of years of evolution whose potential lies in our trembling hands. O stars, lend us your burning passion. O silence, give weight to our voice. We ask for the presence of the spirit of Gaia. ― John Seed in “Thinking Like a Mountain: Towards a Council of All Beings”

Ooooo ! You are close with that one . In a quasi masonic 'raising ceremony' ( a ritual that enacts death and post death experience ) one that is more updated and modern, incorporating newer knowledge of science and other things , the Initiate is informed , on his raising by acclimation ; " He lives in the Son'. verbally it sounds like 'He lives in the Sun' leading some to think its about the old view that life death rebirth is like the Sun raising , setting and passing into the underworld to be 'born' again. But it isnt a typo , its intentional . On such a tradition, this is a great impact and change . It ties in with a huge body of knowledge , from our connections to our ancestors (many tribal people see 're-emergence' of certain ancestors in descendants ) , there is the whole thing about genetic consciousness and memory - circuit 7 , the neuro genetic consciousness of Exo psychology. There is some very interesting research being done on genetics and inheritance (apparently even traits and habits can be inherited , eg, the way a hand gestures when talking, the way hair is flicked out the eyes, etc . ). let alone the whole vast body of knowledge YET to be found in things like 'junk' DNA .

Many moons ago I went out on NYE with some nurses from work. We started out first with a meal at a Lebanese place . It was early, no one else there and we asked the waiter if he minded if we smoked a joint . He went off at us "Of course not , you will stink the place out . What are you smoking ? " "Hashish ." " No ! ? Show it to me ." Okay then , showed it to him and he " RUBBISH! " and throws it out the window .... "I show you REAL hashish ." He goes out the back and comes back with this huge chunk that looked and smelled delightful . Me ; "Can I smoke some of that . " "NO ! I told you, no stink out my restaurant ! " and walks off gruffly .... wtfs going on ? Then he comes back pushing this old brass ornate cart with an old coffee service on it . Its got a little charcoal fuelled roaster, he roasts coffee beans, hashish and cardamom pods together , grinds them up in a brass grinder while water heats on the charcoal, makes the coffee in an ornate pot and pours us each a small cup full . Man ! the taste of that ! Abso fantastic ! Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz This is what good Lebanese get as their drink in heaven

Nymphaea caerulea I have been a bit of an Egyptophyle since a teen and often wondered what their fascination with blue lotus was about . Nowadays , it seems well known ; Some evidence indicates the medicinal effects of plants including N. caerulea that contain the psychoactive alkaloid aporphine were known to both the Maya and the Ancient Egyptians.[4] .... mildly sedating effects ..." - Wiki. I posted a while back about it and was going to hunt some , but then flowers went out of season . Its not illegal here so recently I purchased at 'happy herbs' shop . I tried smoking a bit , Its fairly mild , ok , subtle . I did notice an effect on my vision - things seemed more accurate and illuminated , a bit like hashish, but without the stone . Almost like my eye sight improved No body effects at all . Next I will try some tea . https://www.zativo.com/blog/275-the-blue-lotus-nymphaea-caerulea

Edith Margaret Garrud (1872–1971) was among the first female professional martial arts instructors in the Western world. She trained the Bodyguard unit of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in jujutsu self-defence techniques. She married William Garrud, a physical culture instructor specializing in gymnastics, boxing and wrestling. Beginning in 1908, Edith also taught classes for the "Suffragettes Self-Defence Club", which was only open to members of the Suffrage movement. From 1911, these classes were based at the Palladium Academy, a dance school in Argyll Street. In 1913, the Asquith government instituted the so-called Cat and Mouse Act whereby Suffragette leaders on hunger strikes could legally be released from jail in order to recover their health and then re-arrested on the original charge. The WSPU responded by establishing a thirty-member, all-woman protection unit referred to as "the Bodyguard", the "Jiujitsuffragettes" and the "Amazons", to protect fugitive suffragettes from re-arrest. Edith Garrud became the very first trainer of the Bodyguard and taught them jujutsu and the use of Indian clubs as defensive weapons. Their lessons took place in a succession of secret locations to avoid the attention of the police The Bodyguard fought a number of well-publicised hand-to-hand combats with police officers who were attempting to arrest their leaders, most famously during the so-called "Battle of Glasgow" on 9 March 1914 and during the WSPU "Raid on Buckingham Palace" on 24 May 1914. On several occasions they were also able to stage successful escapes and rescues, making use of tactics such as disguise and the use of decoys to confuse the police. A number of these incidents are described in the unpublished memoir of Bodyguard member Katherine "Kitty" Marshall, titled "Suffragette Escapes and Adventures". Journalists coined the term "suffrajitsu" - a portmanteau of "suffragette" and "jiujitsu" - to describe their techniques of self-defence, sabotage and subterfuge. In January 1911, Edith Garrud choreographed the fight scenes for a polemic play entitled What Every Woman Ought to Know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Margaret_Garrud @ 2:26

Epic Food Appreciation/Outdoor Cooking Masters
Nungali replied to silent thunder's topic in The Rabbit Hole
I like cooking in bamboo culm by outside fire. I do it a bit different to this . I cut the bamboos in 2 culm sections, the top for the food and trim the bottom one to make a spike to stick it in the ground (on an angle ) and place them around the fire . You can put anything in it. My fav is fish chunks (or chicken if you like .... or tofu ) , coconut milk, fish sauce, bit of palm sugar, chilli, golden shallot, lime leaf, coriander. And some other ones with sticky rice in them- 42 replies

As you might know, I am a proponent of ' you should be able to find ANYTHING on the internet From the writings of George Washington, July 3, 1782 "Tomorrow being the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence...the Army is to be served an Extra gill of rum per man on this joyful occasion". A gill (pronounced "Jill") of rum, or a half-cup, was the standard daily ration for soldiers and sailors alike during the Revolutionary War https://www.townsends.us/products/copper-gill-gc368-p-1424 .

because more souls come into existence , of course. How could you have some 'old souls' if you never got any new ones popping up ? This doent have to mean a soul splits into 2 separate entities , I am not sure how you reached THAT conclusion ? It might mean that one soul can reflect parts of itself in myriad forms though .

There where some posts about this recently . I was complaining about the film industry ( in which I used to work) . I saw just the beginning of this . Then with the Harvey Weinstein thing , it got to a ridiculous level I had a visit from two old work mates , one from the Aussie film industry and one from the UK. One was saying some official wanker came up to them on set and said 'Dont stand around in a group in the background laughing with each other ." " Why on earth not ! " " Some people might think you are laughing at them. " There was this big upsurge in hate in and ignorance from one section of society that developed in recent years. So there was a backlash of correctiveness . It has been reflected here also . that cant be helped, its a reflection of forces in society . Now, some people, who didnt take themselves so seriously , and would 'remind' others to as well, in various creative ways ( ) are a lot more wary . - Also (just for you, natural) another dynamic is people are a lot more sensitive nowadays . A joke they laughed at a few years back might be considered offensive now ; just the other day I made a joke about a car accident . And this woman pipes up ; " Whats so funny about a car accident ? Thats not funny, people get hurt, property is damaged ..... at least wait until the ambulance leaves . "
