yes, thats right . And we are in early stages ... as usual , 'down here' we are often 'behind' . I could not find anything on the news about supermarkets going to 'staple food boxes pick up ' ??? But other stuff ; Rate of increase has dropped over the last 3 days from 25% down to 3% . A $130 Billion wage rescue package - the Gov. pays employers to pay their employees ( I think this is basically 'passing the buck ' as the Gov cant keep up with unemployment claims processing ) . Evictions for people that cant ay rent are illegal and loans are being deferred . Aside from all the Gov hype about how great they are the PM walked off stage without answering the 'where are all our masks and protective equipment ? ' Hardly anyone is masked and the the hospitals are running out , yet some random newsagents and 'dollar cheap ' stores are selling boxes of masks and hand sanitiser . Sanitiser will probably soon be available as some major (and some small 'home style ' ) breweries have switched to making it . Todays total is 4359 with nearly half of those in NSW . I saw a guy on news in hand and leg cuffs being shuffled off to jail with police keeping their distance from him - he broke social distancing laws - they found him walking down the street alone ... BUT after reading more , he did it 3 times, including being found wandering far from home around the city , after being put in ' self isolation' at home because he was a returned traveller and they just kept taking him home after fining him . # times and your 'out' I suppose . Now he has been transferred from jail to hospital , so he is probably infected . Gatherings of more than 2 people are not allowed ! Soon it might be gatherings of 1 person is not allowed . Yes, ... unless you are army or police or medics ... or at the supermarket I suppose since we have VERY limited hospital space ( even at this early stage ) , virtually no testing ( some locals and local medics have got together on their own here and bi passed the Gov and have set up their own a drive in testing clinic) . And no PPG (personal protective gear ) ; handwash, gloves and masks . So isolation is really the only option . Well, its knocked our record out ; 12 years of near constant presence on Saturday mornings training at the river park . Last Saturday , empty ... and probably will be for some months .

Thats just becasue Starjumper cant do it to his face as he is scared of his awesome avenging magical powers . Then again ... Starjumper has the awesome steel garage palm strike ! < snicker >

Well, that explains why you are saying you are so smart Yeah , we kinda noticed that

Oh come on now Sir P ! Dont disrupt the new little love nest ! They only just got together !

Yep . You have tagged him correctly . Its the modern world .... constant gaming and an imagination ruined by constant modern gaming / super hero / internet 'research' . The kids today .... ho - hum .

Welcome to the world of GS Master .

Sweden is next to Australia in today's numbers ; S - 3,700 ... A - 4,163 , yet we are doing the opposite . We got the Army patrolling to 'help people understand ' . Dont leave home unless its essential ! But what is 'essential' ? Well, last night our PM gave us an example ; " My wife went shopping and bought a HEAP of jigsaw puzzles yesterday . If her and the kids have to saty home for 6 months , they will be essential . " Also problems like domestic violence rise are trying to be countered , authorities acknowledge there may be some 'side effects' . But preliminary stats show this approach MIGHT BE flattening the rate of new infections, they have not increased in two days . Deaths rose yesterday, but that is a time lag effect, I think . However , I expect to see surges and lags in any trends and stats . I went to town today, it seemed like a normal quiet day , then I came out of the supermarket and the street was near empty . Some places have put up good sanitising facilities outside , others haven't bothered, about 1/3 of places closed . I heard a quick news reference that Woolworths isnt going to allow shopping anymore but just pick ups of pre packed 'staples' ??? The local shop is still a good secret . I got heaps of good stuff there . AND they supply washing facilities out front , disposable gloves and clear distance markers . Now they are doing home delivers soon . They might even need to employ some drivers with vehicles . One further method is regional shutdowns . Bring it on, I say . Besides, IF you are supposed to stay home except for essential needs then you should not be inter regionally travelling anyway . If you have an essential reason then you are allowed through . Our 'far spreadedness ' here may be to our advantage ; there is only really 2 large regional centres south of here to Sydney , in 600 kms. Us Aussies gotta stick apart .

Groins are his thing .

Its a Fata Morgana . Now dont get all sexually frustrated about that .

I found Sean ! I gave this guy 10 bucks and I " What happened to you man ?" and he " Well, I had this idea about running an internet forum with little mediation, relying on the maturity of those involved in spiritual sciences .... anyway , long story short , have you read 'Faucault's Pendulum' ? Ended up like that . Anyways , I'm much happier now . " .

WTF was that ? !

A lot more birds . Much fewer cars . Much less human noise . I even noticed a lack of the occasional high altitude jets passing over . Here , during 'corona virus shutdown' , the noises of nature are more prominent .

Formally for feasts and shared meals we used to ; http://www.thelemapedia.org/index.php/Saying_Will Nowadays , graduating more to shamanic and local practices I simply say 'Bugglebear' - a Bundjalung word which means thank you, good, I am appreciating this and feel good becasue of it . Its also said many times other than eating , as teacher said ; " Always say thanks to 'Mum' ( 'mother nature' ) , bugglebear , because she gives you all you need and looks after you . "

Yep .... thats the spirit ... as usual I mention : " even when he started a topic and asked questions and I responded . " Then he responds to that with : " Where your questions any good ? " EXACTLY what I mean and why I gave up trying reasonable communication . .

No mention of it here either in Oz ... but it IS the plan , and its the plan in many places , its just that it is enacted different . The only way to get over it ( for the general population) is ; herd immunity by natural means or inoculation . Here , with a LOW number of hospital beds and equipment we need a high rate of social isolation to flatten the curve early to keep numbers down while we try to tool up . The idea is to match the curve to resources . Isolation will never fix the problem , just slow down its onset . Thats general . Its different for individuals of course ; due to my specific situation ( ie . basically a hermit , a high level of isolation anyway ) I have missed the last 3 years of catching any type of bug that was going around , so never developed any immunity to any of them and never caught any of them . 3 years ago (and the 3 prior to that ) when I had a GF with 3 young kids (and at least 1 then all 3 in school ) I was getting some new bug every few months ! Since then, when a bug goes around, I isolate myself from it , and people .

Even they can be rebellious .

Donald Trump has nice ....... nice ...... ummmmm .... errrmmmm ..... cufflinks !

Oh ? I didnt notice them Thats what happens with no big red circle around them .

I love those photos with the big red circle ; no, not the girl .... not the tap .... the mirror , look in the mirror Nooooo ... not that tree down in the corner ... the bigfoot in the middle of the picture ; No, not the trash can ... no no NOT the car ! That alien , right there in the middle of the picture ! Thank goodness for big red circles , otherwise we might not see this 'cryptoid' (due to its disguise and how it blends in with nature )

Nearly . Now try reading ALL the letters . There was not just one 'task' , it's a bit more complicated than that . Here is a hint ; certain 'Daimones' are categorised under certain traits or subjects and specialise in certain things . The 'tasks' they best 'perform' are those associated with each one . Try this ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bune realising that the transliteration into modern language, a la Wiki , may give poor results ( eg. " ... making devils gather around graves" - Oh dear ! ). However it does relate the relationship to Isis [ and in my case, a previously 'adopted' * ' agathodaimon' under the legion of Isis (another Goddess - in the aspect of 'Stella Maris' ) , but 'above' the 'Duke' level of Bune .] * adopted, in the sense that I was adopted , not that I adopted her - that is , it was an experience when I was very young WAAAYYYY before I ever heard of such things as Goetia . It wasnt actually until some time AFTER the evocation ceremonies that I put the relationships together . - and to me this signifies that certain 'spirits' are the best one's to work with - the ones tied into ones karma and dharma . These connections where also affirmed via astrology , again in a later practice/ revelation . Also I cant vouch for any efficacy if the subject is approached much as I see it today . My workings took a long time - each tool was consecrated in the appropriate magical way and setting, also it was done in a properly set up temple (and directions, if followed, mean it needs to be fairly large ) , which I had built . Also a certain amount of consecrated regalia and temple furniture was constructed . Of course there is the background knowledge and study as well ( hopefully within a good system) - I did that for decades. Also some insight into psychology , and not just within the modern 'mind set ' , is valuable - one needs to understand the psychology of the source material. I studied that for years as well , as with the related subjects to both in Cultural Anthropology eg . studying various practices across time, location and cultures, comparing similarities and validities behind cultural clothing , that is , not just seeing one's own, or one's one times perceptions as the only valid realities - in short , spend some time nutting it all out . Buying a $4 crystal wand and drawing a sigil in the air with it and then calling oneself an 'Evocation Magician' might not work as good .

Alright then .... pick up your arse and reattach it . Then try reading around the outside of the sigil.

That particular 'grain of truth' applies only to some strangely enough yet these 'nasty insulting people ' here dont seem to want to 'pick on' me . But once one writes crap and then gets crap back ..... Oooooo , the big bad people picked on me ... DBs is fucked ..... no one here is enlightened ....

Bye bye then dickhead ! (The amount of times I have tried to engage this guy ^ reasonably , even when he started a topic and asked questions and I responded on topic relevantly , he just goes on to talk crap . So I gave up being nice . he even ran off to the 'original ' Dao bums ( a recent split off of people left and kicked out by Sean ) forum, did the same thing there, got no audience ( due to similar behaviour) and then came back here and started again. Now he is pissed off because a few posters here told him straight . yep ..... ride forever mate ...... thataway

Tell Holly someone from the other side of the world heard her story and sends their thanks and appreciation . Its people like her that make the planet a better place . Also let her know , here someone made the smart to move to get nurses and medical people , instead of politicians and administrators , to give advise and warnings on tv announcements . A smart move as we appreciate and trust these front liners a lot more than some rich comfortable politicians , so much so, that in the last few days the pollies and administrators have thanked the public, for what they estimate is , an 80% compliance (ie. 80% less people about and congregating . )

May be have a chat with them about denial too ?
