Thats apparent ! Did you question why you ' wonder if God is watching you from above ' ? (I am not a big fan of that idea .... I am more the .... 'in your face ' kind of rebel

is this a trick question ? What, are we supposed to know some things 'from the void ' ? Even if I know something that comes from myself alone and no one else .... well, I am someone , so that doesnt count . And anything outside my self is 'somewhere else' , so that doesnt count either . or maybe you would like to rephrase the question ?

What happened to ; "life begins at 40" ? https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/life-begins-at-forty.html I wont describe all the good things that come with turning 40 ... I will leave it to you to discover them bit by bit Just enjoy it ... until you hit your 'Saturn return' around 56 ( O .... M .... G ...... ! - but I survived it ! )

Its a great 'end ' ( ie, 'to fulfil a purpose' ) for it as well. In that; in Thelema .... well, one expression of it .... the 5th degree , is a Rosicrucian Degree and is said to be the general stopping place of those that progress through the series ( beyond that its more dedication to the order ; admin, moderation, organisation, etc ). It starts as a point, expands and then becomes the sphere of your work. That is , your 'Rosicrucianism' becomes the expression of your 'Great Work' . ... everything can then be expressed under the original 'one focus' ., but now it has developed and is expressed in your 'dhama' .

Citing your 'likes' .... Thelema has an obvious 'one truth' in 'Do what thou Wilt' , but what is the one truth of the G.D. ? I agree somewhat with your thesis , but I would add .; ' check the internal reality map ' In the 4 principles of healthy psychology , one of them is checking your internal reality map , which means ; we form an internal view or central principle /s by which we manage our lives through the 'environment' / external reality / view and every so often we should 'check outside' against THAT reality . Is the world REALLY operating as we think it is ? Our collective understanding of external reality changes and develops over time . so too must our individual understanding of it , otherwise we are stuck in old and outmoded systems . So we are encouraged, every so often to check our internal understanding of 'reality' with the external (or we are still working things out with the view the Sun goes around the earth and dies each night , or those we have made peace with are our enemy, or that 'race' is a valid concept ... or a whole range of other prejudices) . So I suggest some cross checking on our 'one truths' every so often. Some of the old occult stuff talks about development of 'racial types' and runs through their philosophy and conclusions fairly deeply , if involved in those groups, it might pay to do a little research on the science and genetics in that area . . . and adjust our views accordingly .

I am not sure what 'spiritual power' is , isnt it the power to do good ? If so then maybe you are right in that ; " evil people lack the work ethic to get to this level"

..... gotta go and get some good training shoes , - I often go barefoot, but the other week in the park, there was a big burn spot from a fire and some broken beer bottles about . I spent a bit of time picking glass out the grass but , one cant be sure .

I should include this here ( copied from 'what made me laugh') Me at training today This young woman turns up , watches a bit and asks us what we are doing . The she says she is looking for something new to do she did kung fu / wushu but moved away from that area to this one . So me and instructor start showing (off) her some stuff on each other , I go watch this and zoom in from long range to punch him , .... sliiiiiip .... skid .... splits ..... streeetch ... owww and land on my balls . ( my excuse ; I had new shoes and the grass was wet ) . ..... [ It didnt seem to put her off , she followed us back to town, had coffee with us, insisted she was coming next week, rings me later and asks if she can start tomorrow, turns up at my place for a 3 hour lesson ( read that again folks .... someone said they where coming for a lesson and actually turned up when they said they would ! ) and bought lunch . Goodness ! Whats the world coming to ! ]

How about some more ancient Egyptian humour ;

Here is Dillman self confessing his fakery (and a whole lot of others ! ) and also admitting he had a real chance with a real master * but never followed it up .... he went down a very strange path instead . * Hohan Soken is 3 back in my style's linage through Ted Lange - who settled in Australia (ie, my instructor's teacher was Ted and Ted was a student of Hohan Soken . see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohan_Sōken - 'students' . )

seen it before , a good one though , black uniform guy started out as tool ; got told the others name and he 'Whatever " WTF . the other guy reminded me of myself at Aikido; I wouldnt resist but I wouldnt take a dive for them . some thought the other is supposed to take a dive. hence ..... Aikido 'demonstration' , some instructors hated that , others, it didnt matter , and they did their technique easily on me .

V. The Neurosomatic System When this fifth “body-brain” is activated, flat Euclidean figure-ground configurations explode multi-dimensionally. Gestalts shift, in McLuhan’s terms, from linear visual space to all-encompassing sensory space. A hedonic turn-on occurs, a rapturous amusement, a detachment from the previously compulsive mechanism of the first four circuits. I turned this circuit on with pot and Tantra. This fifth brain began to appear about 4,000 years ago in the first leisure-class civilizations and has been increasing statistically in recent centuries (even before the Drug Revolution), a fact demonstrated by the hedonic art of India, China, Rome and other affluent societies. More recently, Ornstein and his school have demonstrated with electroencephalograms that this circuit represents the first jump from the linear left lobe of the brain to the analogical right lobe. The opening and imprinting of this circuit has been the preoccupation of “technicians of the occult”–Tantric shamans and hatha yogis. While the fifth tunnel-reality can be achieved by sensory deprivation, social isolation, physiological stress or severe shock (ceremonial terror tactics, as practiced by such rascal-gurus as Don Juan Matus or Aleister Crowley), it has traditionally been reserved to the educated aristocracy of leisure societies who have solved the four terrestrial survival problems. About 20,000 years ago, the specific fifth brain neurotransmitter was discovered by shamans in the Caspian Sea area of Asia and quickly spread to other wizards throughout Eurasia and Africa. It is, of course, cannabis. Weed. Mother Mary Jane. It is no accident that the pot-head generally refers to his neural state as “high” or “spaced-out.” The transcendence of gravitational, digital, linear, either-or, Aristotelian, Newtonian, Euclidean, planetary orientations (circuits I-IV) is, in evolutionary perspective, part of our neurological preparation for the inevitable migration off our home planet, now beginning. This is why so many pot-heads are Star Trek freaks and science fiction adepts. The extraterrestrial meaning of being “high” is confirmed by astronauts themselves; 85% of those who have entered the free-fall zero gravity describe “mystic experiences” or rapture states typical of the neurosomatic circuit. “No photo can show how beautiful Earth looked,” raves Captain Ed Mitchell, describing his Illumination in free-fall. He sounds like any successful yogi or pot-head. No camera can show this experience because it is inside the nervous system. Free-fall, at the proper evolutionary time, triggers the neurosomatic mutation, Leary believes. Previously this mutation has been achieved “artificially” by yogic or shamanic training or by the fifth circuit stimulant, cannabis. Surfing, skiing, skin-diving and the new sexual culture (sensuous massage, vibrators, imported Tantric arts, etc.) have evolved at the same time as part of the hedonic conquest of gravity. The Turn-On state is always described as “floating,” or, in the Zen metaphor, “one foot above the ground.” https://chasereeves.net/2018/timothy-learys-8-circuits-consciousness/

That gave me a flashback to the news story I saw last week; a reporter interviewing an American woman ; " "Yes we all should wear a mask, but we will not be at the Trump rally , becasue ..... its the Trump rally and you know what, that is one of the great things about this country and why its great to be an American ! " Even the American reporter was left standing there with

I remember 2 sword demos gone wrong . Stupid karate people that thought they could use a sword ; first was with a cheap 'wall sword' . The guy goes to cut something , flings the sword up first and the blade fliers off the handle, over his head and lands somewhere back in the audience . The second was some guys in my Sikiran club ( what makes them think they could use a katana ? ) . One says he can cut a watermelon on his brothers stomach and stop in time so he doesnt cut him . (yeah , you can guess ..... ) The cut didnt go through the last bit of skin and the melon was hanging there , it would look better if both halves fell off either side of the guy lying down, so he gave it a little slice at the end . The other thought the same thing and flexed his stomach up thinking that would cause the last remaining bit to separate ... at the same time . = about 20 stitches across his stomach , fortunately just through the skin . I remember going to do an aikido demo once , when we got there it was a gravel car park and someone forgot to bring the mats . The demo didnt actually go wrong .... the wrong part was afterwards .

I remember that sickening sound coming from the back of class . Teacher (cups his hand to ear ) " Aha! The sound of Japanese wood on Aussie bone ! " That reminds me ; I once defeated teacher unarmed against him with nuncuks , fortunately these where the plastic ones . After class he advanced on me twirling them ; "Lets see how you go against this ! " Me; " No ... get away! " <backs off , flings an arm out in a stupid defensive motion > but somehow, fluke ! My hand hit the end of the stick he was holding, stopping its movement and causing the other stick to whip around and the end caught him under the jaw . " Him < astonished > " How did you do that! " Me < bluffing > ; " Secret move ! And let that be lesson to ya ! "

Mine was a standing knockout .... spinning heel kick to the temple .... Ooooo pretty ! Stars and swirls everywhere .... then I had a nice lie down . I woke up to others laughing at me explaining how i had staggered around for a bit .

My doctor : "Have you cut back on salt like I asked you to ?" " Ummmmm ...... well , I have stopped salting the rim of my margaritas " .

I have no complaints about my environment But some of the people in it . And the stories get out ; Gossipers in town ask me " How is it going out there at ...... < smirk > " " Fantastic ! Love it ! " " Really ! Didnt ....... just do ..... to ..... at ..... ?" " Ohhh , I thought you meant the place . The people ? .... I keep that separate . "

I used to be (many many years ago) the chairperson of a 'Baha'i Spiritual Assembly' - an elected council of 9 that helps run the affairs of a community , they replace the function of 'clergy' in other religions . Since they have to sometimes decide on affairs that effect peoples lives, it is very important to make a 'spiritual decision' and not a selfish one . very basically it works like this ; First you have to get in 'spiritual mode' - there is no point coming into it from some charged emotive state , so one must have the ability to leave that behind . They used the method of prayer for that , the meetings started with prayer or philosophical readings . The key thing is to release your attachments to any opinion offered , put it 'in the pot on the table ' (there isnt one, thats a metaphor ), then release it as your own idea / contribution, examine it as you do the other contributions, by keeping in mind the best solution to the problem . Easy to say that, some are able to this and others cant really, they mask it but underneath they are pushing for their own ideas. I suppose it takes 'spiritual people ' to make 'spiritual decisions ' ... remedy ? Get 'spiritual' . The test is - its fairly easy for the 'advanced' to decide on an issue that might effect others , but one may also have to decide on an issue that effects YOU as well , thats the real test of any spiritual decision making for community ! Get more 'spiritual' ( become selfless, develop understanding, cultivate wisdom and balance mercy and severity , but do not fear to act ) . The idea is (in Bahai ), if you stick together, even a wrong decision will become apparent and you can fine tune it or drop and change it later , the community learns together in experience . becoming attached to all different opinions and solutions, causes division, which is hard to resolve and the community may not learn adapt and evolve . Otherwise there are people undermining decisions that go against their personal wants . If the council/ors cant get it together or keep making unpopular decisions then the community is able to vote different members in . .

... oops .... I was expressing pissoffedness about material things in a thread about expressing gratitude for them

Ooooo ! Goddamn modern 'designs' , the last two tea pots I got , the tea comes out from around the lid as well as the spout ! Its a design - component relationship people ! If the end of the spout height and distance from the pot and the top of the pot is wrong it will not work as the tea will find its way out through the lowest point - EEEEIDJUTS! next one, I demand a water pouring test before purchase . and while I am it ... my chiropractor has waiting chairs that have the 2 back cross pieces , not flat but inserted on edge, like shelves so the edges sticks into your spine . I've talked to her about it but she ' Oh ! ? No one else has mentioned that . " and also " they used to be my chairs at home but I got some new ones and decided to put these here . " I'm not sure which way to take that It is my firm religious conviction that somewhere in hell is a designer section where bad designers are forced to use the products they designed .
