    How about a little fan dance to show your appreciation ? a Chinese one, that is NOT the Japanese version thanks

    Like ... because a few times in our empty hand ( weaponless ) forms , either leg is lifted in a 'strange' ways . Most people just do it and dont really know why Many see it as a foot sweep or take down . If one worked out the principles 'hidden in plain sight ' in our style (one of which is , defend the lower part f the body from attacks with the lower parts of your body , - ie legs and feet ) , one would realise what those movements represent ; ' striking, levering or deflecting an incoming attack ' . Teacher (now passed on ) had a fav technique using that against a kick ; move off line to the inside of the kick and whip kick to his outside at the others leg as it kicks , driving his big toe into the others Indeed , as in the case of the Chinese Pirate 'Chinto' that our founder could not defeat ( Matsamura corned Chinto in the back of a sea cave , Chinto took a position with the end of the cave at his back and up a bit higher on some rocks , Matsamura could not defeat him . They later 'made friends' with Matsamura wanting to learn from him. Some of the techniques (with the strange foot position , pre kicking - and other ' Chinese pirate techniques ' ) where set out in Chinto kata ; from 0:38 However its significance and application seem lost to most that practice this form .

    Thanks . That was about the only thing I could come up with , the move in question ; the 'offensive' end of the staff (considering the next move ) is low near the ground , you step through and sweep strongly upwards and the stepping through leg rises . The move does feel very different if done without lifting the leg - the staff does not appear to have as much ..... 'sweepy upwards momentum and force ' . { in two other moves , one the leg comes up as the staff deflects a strong downwards strike , you are trying to stomp on the end of the others staff to disrupt their movement . In the other it is against a thrust to the foot , the leg is lifted and foot moved out the way as a retracting movement of the staff knocks the thrust aside and sets up for a counter thrust back with the other end . } Also ( while we on the subject ) I notice many 'Chinese ' staff forms are VERY differently executed to the way they are in Okinawa . I believe this is Okinawan forms where developed from an original need for self defence , mostly in a one on one situation, not ever having an 'army' of invasion or resistance ) . And the Chinese forms , or whatever it was you where doing , with jumping , wide flailing and circular movements , leaping while striking etc . developed more in a battle situation / multiple opponents ... a 'melee ' so to speak . Do you think that's a right analysis ? ( I should also add that my own forms within this are a bit different from the usual as well .... even people in my style seem to do them staid and rigid , not flowing . I focus more on applications - breaking them up and actually practising and fighting with the techniques { staff Vs staff or other weapons } to analyse them .... it seems they practice fighting 'with the air ' too much and lack the spark of conflict which brings 'illumination' . . . and { while I am bitchin } , too much forward attention , not 360 deg awareness - which the Chinese forms seem to have more of . )
  4. and the BMAC ' wild man ' seals https://www.academia.edu/40111402/Some_thoughts_about_the_wild_haired_snake-man_on_BMAC-seals
  5. I was just discussing bronze age imports and exports elsewhere ; eg lapis went from BMAC (Afghanistan) ended up in Egypt , etc but what did they get in return . While explaining some things I put some pictures of artifacts up ... and then noticed something curious . Ceremonial axe - Sumer ; a natural enough scene - lion gets the pig ..... or does it represent something else ? Two 'things' opposed or in conflict ? BMAC ceremonial axe ; ' Come on you two ! Break it up ! ( the two headed bird man seemed a common motiff in BMAC . Also in Pisdadian mythology - transition from BMAC to YAZ cultures - it is described as a fair and just rule , more egalitarian and people from other places migrated to live there becasue of this ... it seems they considered it less oppressive .
  6. 8. Show us how to communicate the importance of proper lineage to those who are not interested in it, specifically the self-initiates. Hermit Queen of Swords Off with their heads ! Or, has she just removed the head if the patriarchy ? BUT ... se represents the watery part of air and its .... " power of transmission " The character, excellent in itself, cannot support interference. Foresight and prudence, care in preparation of action, are a safeguard (line i.) Advantage is to be won, moreover, by reliance on help from apparently unsuitable comrades (lines 2 and 5). This alien strength often supplies the defeat of inherent weakness, and may even create definite superiority to circumstance (line 4). In such an event, there may be temptation to undertake rash adventures, foredoomed to failure. But even so, no blame is incurred (line 6); the conditions of True Will have been satisfied, and the issue is compensated by the feeling that the right (however unfortunate) course has been adopted. 9. Show us what those focused on getting along need to know about lineage. Ace of Cups .... a secret and original form of an elemental energy . It is the Yoni and Moon to the Ace of wands lingam and Sun . Ether becomes water. The dove descends into the cup and consecrates the element . 10. Show us what those focused on proper lineage and teaching need to know about eclecticism. 5 Wands . 'Strife' The symbol represents the wand of the Chief Adept, showing that the authority is derived from the superiors; 11. Show us what is important for everyone to know and understand that they don’t know they don’t understand about the need for integrity of training. AEON - new formations ... everything is different now in the world in which we operate The time for the birth of an Aeon seems to be indicated by great concentration of political power with the accompanying im provements in the means of travel and communication, with a general advance in philosophy and science, with a general need of consolida tion in religious thought. ... It is a thought far from comforting to the present generation, that 500 years of Dark Ages are likely to be upon us. But, if the analogy holds, that is the case. Fortunately, to-day we have brighter torches and more torch- bearers. 12. Show us the same about self-initiation. Hanged Man. 13. Show us what is important to know about the forum that we aren't aware of. Knight of Discs .... slow and steady trudging at times - but he gets there . He rides through the fertile land; even the distant hills are cultivated fields. Those whom he symbolizes tend to be dull, heavy and pre- p.165 occupied with material things. They are laborious and patient, but would have little intellectual grasp even of matters which concern them most closely. Their success in these is due to instinct, to imita tion of Nature. They lack initiative; their fire is the smouldering fire of the process of growth. If ill-dignified, these people are hopelessly stupid, slavish, quite incapable of foresight even in their own affairs, or of taking an intelli gent interest in anything outside them. They are churlish, surly, and jealous (in a dull sort of way) of what they instinctively realize is the superior state of others; but they have not the courage or intelligence to better themselves. Yet they are always irritably meddling about petty matters; they interfere with, and inevitably spoil, whatever comes their way. 14. Show us what is helpful to begin a dialogue to talk about it right now (based off of answer to 13). 10 Cups This card represents a conflicting element. On the one hand, it receives the influence of the Ten, Malkah the Virgin. The arrange ment of the cups is that of the Tree of Life. But, on the other hand, they are themselves unstable. They are tilted; they spill the water from the great Lotus which overhangs the whole system from one into the other. The work proper to water is complete: and disturbance is due. This comes from the influence of Mars in Pisces. Mars is the gross, violent and disruptive force which inevitably attacks every supposed perfection. His energy displays the greatest possible con trast with that of Pisces, which is both peaceful and spiritualized. 15. What is the #1 thing that TDB needs now? Hexagram card 16. If there is something that we need to be asking that we all want to ask but don't know the words or what it is, show us what the question is and what the answer is. Lovers 17. Anything else the MTLs want us to know before we close? 2 Cups ' love '

    Perhaps you could help me with question regarding your staff form ? I practice several long staff forms from an Okinawan tradition. Some I have unusual movements , whose applications have taken me a few years to work out but there a few moves that still seem unexplained . So my question to you is - why do you often raise one leg up ( knee high , lower leg vertical ) when striking and thrusting ?

    I alread said this a while back , but now, it might be appropriate again XGF was a great singer and songwriter , one time she is singing me a new song and and part of was like " When I am sad it rains, and when I am happy the sun shines " - afterwards I asked her if she meant ' the rain makes me sad and the sun shine makes me happy ' ? and she goes " No. " and I " What, your moods dictate OUR weather ?" " Yes, " She was like that ... a little 'self -centred ' or ...... Weather magick ?

    Yes ! I am interested in 'eating vapour ' . What you describe is an important aspect in 'Agricultural Alchemy' and making and dispersing soil and atmospheric preparations and treatments . I worked with that for a few years . ( I was the preparations maker for Biodynamic Agriculture Australia for a while . ) Eg prep 501 (made from crushed quartz crystal rods) is ideally spreyed into the atmosphere , in the morning, with rising mist . Regarding swamps ( wetlands ??? ) , it gets a bit 'weird' for that prep , its a fresh trimmed cows head, brain removed and skull stuffed with oak bark and left in a swamp for a year . Retrieving the preparation is an 'adventure' . Also, Live in a subtropical rainforest , opposite my place , across the river is a steep escarpment with waterfalls . At times the rising mist is phenomenal - it streams up out the trees , some places pump it out while a few metres over nothing . Trees breath , forest compost gasses But then the grey mist drops at times , when it starts curling over the top of the escarpment and gradually descending ..... myurk ....

    Well, heaven forbid if an Englishman that explored esoterica EVER dressed up ! McGregor Mathers Crowley Allen Bennett ( He was the second Englishman to be ordained as a Buddhist monk (Bhikkhu) of the Theravada tradition [1] and was instrumental in introducing Buddhism in England . - Wiki ) ... and so on .
  11. I never got that ... even at a young age at the Catholic school , they where very on about gentle Jesus meek and mild , good shepard that leads his flock along they didnt mention it, but even back then ..... ' dont they end up in the slaughter house ? isnt that why the shepard cares for them and chases wolves away . Give me a goat any day !
  12. But where is the pleasure in that ? I mean, if I can become a God , by being 'spiritual and holy ' 'down here ' and not having lust and THEN I can have unlimited constant super God sex ... , then I will just be constantly ejaculating continually . Surely that would supply some gravitational lift
  13. Dictators want us to think its ree-dick-you-lus to re-direct-your-lust .
  14. Worse than that ! You can crush their development in individuality, creativity , balance, independence and a whole lot of stuff . Especially if you do it to them at a young age and tie in guilt and shame . Having spent most of my life as a 'western tantric' , and in an anarchically spiritual and egalitarian frame work , I understand the relationship between sexual development , personal 'power' and magick . So does the 'other side' that's why they try to manipulate and stifle its healthy development . Its easier to fool a herd of sheep than a herd of goats .
  15. Well, why the hell not ? Heartbreak's frustrations are a result of a society that locks up sex and judges appearances . As you probably know, I am for free sex . But certainly not expensive culty ashram shit that never helped anyone I know get over their hangups ! Back in with Reiche's Socialist workers party sex workers visited factories and had street vans with clinics, for health education and sex workers . The government even supported it as production was going up and social problems where declining ! Then some fascist bully boys came along and locked it all up with sex power ownership in the hands of the alpha males . The current women's traditional garb morphed into a Russian peasant woman's outfit .... just like Stalin's mum used to wear . They think sex is power , and power needs to be limited regulated dispersed to the loyal and regulated , so so does sex . I mean , if you dont , my God , everyone would run around fucking each other !
  16. Can anybody scan my chakras please?

    What , 'all tied up' at present ?
  18. Hmmmm ... its not actually what she says , she is cunning , its HOW she says it ; " in his later years often just sat quietly absorbed in deep states saying little. " yeah .... deep states of Valium and Nitrous Oxide - I shared a hotel room with him once . Like being on vacation with Hunter S. Thompson .
