Lust - and what to do about it
Nungali replied to EFS White's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
For, when lust is active and is not released , or released in the 'same old boring way ', it eventually devolves to ; indolence /ˈɪnd(ə)l(ə)ns/ avoidance of activity or exertion; laziness. and eventually you will 'burn out' your 'lust supply' and find it hard to get motivated to do anything . -
Lust - and what to do about it
Nungali replied to EFS White's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
Channel it into creative endeavours - the two are closely linked . Lust is a wonderful thing when it breaks the bounds of sexuality , like eg , 'lust for life' . Its another way of looking at it . " This Trump was formerly called Strength. But it implies far more than strength in the ordinary sense of the word. .... Lust implies not only strength, but the joy of strength exercised. It is vigour, and the rapture of vigour. “Come forth, O children, under the stars, & take your fill of love! I am above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours. My joy is to see your joy.” “Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious languor, force and fire, are of us.” ..... Be strong, O man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this.” ... This Trump is assigned to the sign of Leo in the Zodiac. It is the Kerub of Fire, and is ruled by the Sun. It is the most powerful of the twelve Zodiacal cards,' and represents the most critical of all the operations of magick and of alchemy. It represents the act of the original marriage as it occurs in nature, as opposed to the more artificial form portrayed in Atu VI; ( the Lovers) . " - The Book of Thoth -
Anyone familiar with Herculean Cultivation?
Nungali replied to EFS White's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
I'm big on mythology . A few years back I did a months long workshop, one night a week, that a friend had put on , about reading your own natal chart . Some of the best time I have ever invested . It had a big focus on mythology . I learnt a LOT about myself and it cleared up a lot of issues and that led to a lot of practical stuff as well . I have played with this before , but now , being on another of my little holidays, I need other stimulates to fill the void as I am away from home ( and building projects, gardening, maintenance, etc ) and thought, just this morning, to go onto town and see if I can purchase these , and really study them ; -
More the how . If you cant outright delete a post , how did it happen ? or perhaps my 'magical servitors' just had enough and started working independently ( they can do that sometimes ) .

Aha ! I have not noticed that faint little arrow before ! But how does one 'remove' one's post from a thread (and why on earth would that function be available to members ??? )

During a large Communist party political conference, there is only a single room still available at the only hotel in town. Four strangers are put into the room. Three of them soon open a bottle of vodka and proceed to get acquainted, then drunk, then noisy, singing, and telling political jokes about their leaders. The fourth man desperately tries to get some sleep; finally, in frustration, he surreptitiously leaves the room, goes downstairs, and asks the lady concierge to bring tea to Room 67 in ten minutes. Then he returns and joins the party. Five minutes later, he bends to a power outlet: "Comrade Major, some tea to Room 67, please." In a few minutes, there's a knock at the door, and in comes the lady concierge with a tea tray. The room falls silent; the party dies a sudden death, and the prankster finally gets to sleep. The next morning he wakes up alone in the room. Surprised, he runs downstairs and asks the concierge what happened to his companions. "You don't need to know!" she answers. "B-but...but what about me?" asks the terrified fellow. 'Oh, you...well...Comrade Major liked your tea gag a lot."

Might make some sense if it worked. This is the worst 'hiding' I have seen since I played hide and seek with the twins !

I should never have titled this thread the way I did . I should have called it 'Swinging Balls ' .... .... DOH !
-
You can do that in a thread ? Interesting - an escape clause for people that write BS and then get challenged on it . Rather silly, as all it takes is one person to quote them , and its obvious what they did . He is DEFINITELY in ' THAT ' category now .
-
Now how did he remove all his silly posts here from Monday onwards up to the one before my last post above ? At least that is the view I am getting on this page now . You can see the remains of them as I quoted some . Somebody got their hands on the moderation codes did they ?

' Grouping them ' ? You think that's what you where doing ? Okay then . bye bye .

You lot ! Now you have me imagining a new type of 'Puppetry of the Penis ' show, involving 8 guys lined up .... wait .... 8 grandfathers lined up .....

Awww ... you poor thing ! Sit down and just try to forget all about it . here ..... let me make you a nice cup of tea

Your sage is still using energy here as well ^ ... actually they are projecting energy So , what's your point ? You dont like a sage with harsh words , so good words are used for you . You; 'You are still using words '. So you are given an example of sage action without words . You ; ' You are still using actions .' So you are given an example without words or actions . You ; 'You are still using energy .' You asked previously if we could let you know if you are not making sense - Dude , you are NOT making sense. ( and now you are tipping on the line , about to fall into THAT category - I suppose which side you fall on depends on your response . )

Oh that . I do that with my 'badly retarded' niece . She has severe autism. But in other ways she is a genius . We have wonderful psychic communication and when I do that she calms down and comes over to me just to be in my space, or sit next to me or even touch me . It freaks the family out as when they try to get her to respond 'normally' to others she goes off - violent or constant screaming . - Its actually very sad , her own family does not understand her - or me for that matter ; they separated us to stop her 'annoying me' , I told them she was not , but they still did it so the screaming started again and she attacked her father and got taken to her room . Sad . They dont understand at all

Sumer: the "black-headed" vs. the "red-faced"
Nungali replied to Taomeow's topic in General Discussion
Thought I would post this here for the reference library on this subject Book review . The book look goods, its on my next list . https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/10/14/book-review-against-the-grain/ Extract; " Against The Grain should be read as a prequel to Scott’s most famous work, Seeing Like A State. SLaS argued that much of what we think of as “progress” towards a more orderly world – like Prussian scientific forestry, or planned cities with wide streets – didn’t make anyone better off or grow the economy. It was “progress” only from a state’s-eye perspective of wanting everything to be legible to top-down control and taxation. He particularly criticizes the High Modernists, Le Corbusier-style architects who replaced flourishing organic cities with grandiose but sterile rectangular grids. " ... Sumer just before the dawn of civilization was in many ways an idyllic place. Forget your vision of stark Middle Eastern deserts; in the Paleolithic the area where the first cities would one day arise was a great swamp. Foragers roamed the landscape, eating everything from fishes to gazelles to shellfish to wild plants. There was more than enough for everyone; “as Jack Harlan famously showed, one could gather enough [wild] grain with a flint sickle in three weeks to feed a family for a year”. Foragers alternated short periods of frenetic activity (eg catching as many gazelles as possible during their weeklong migration through the area) with longer periods of rest and recreation. " And not because the new lifestyle made this happy life even happier. While hunter-gatherers enjoyed a stable and varied diet, agriculturalists subsisted almost entirely on grain; their bones display signs of significant nutritional deficiency. While hunter-gatherers were well-fed, agriculturalists were famished; their skeletons were several inches shorter than contemporaneous foragers. While hunter-gatherers worked ten to twenty hour weeks, agriculturalists lived lives of backbreaking labor. While hunter-gatherers who survived childhood usually lived to old age, agriculturalists suffered from disease, warfare, and conscription into dangerous forced labor. "Scott argues that intensive grain cultivation was a natural choice not for cultivators, but for the states oppressing them. The shift from complicated and mobile food webs to a perfectly rectangular grid of wheat fields was the same sort of “progress” as scientific forestry and planned cities thousands of years later: " -
Thats a fuckin scary thing to look at out your window !

I enjoy teaching without words . Sometimes at martial arts I avoid all words and mime and demonstrate , stop and point , move my posture one way and shake my head and then correct it point and nod . One day someone might turn up that doesnt speak English , but really, its a whole different way . I also did it with the twins, when they where very little boys , 'toddlers' , pre speaking , just a few words . Here the 'sage' or the 'responsible adult' must teach 'by example' , as they say . So I would act out things for them , put on a little show . Not harsh words , but by teaching by example - harsh example .... harsh self example . I would act out silly comedy scenes and do everything wrong with disastrous slapstick consequences to myself . Eg , they are fussing near the burning wood heater and thinking about putting more wood in ( I could tell ) . So I approach them with a condescending adult look , shake my head, wave them back miming authoritarian adult ( and believe me this works on much smaller children , pre-speaking , they 'get' the mime and the joke ..... because its such a big part of their life and often frustrates them ) . I over act it all out wrong , pretending to show them the 'right way' . I open the door with no glove , pretend my hand is burnt , I go to get the wood and smoke is coming out into the room so I rush back and shut the door THEN go and get the wood first , pick up a too big bit ( for the smouldering fire) with one hand , drop it on my toe , hop around ouching , and they are in hysterics and start showing ME the proper way to do it ; give me the thick fire gloves to put on , point to get the wood fist BEFORE opening the door , say 'No' when I go to grab the big piece " little wood first " and then 'TWO HANDS ' ... the other one " watch your toes , be careful . " At the end I would 'Oooohhh ! THATS how ya do it ." Anyway, it was fun . . . . . more fun than the harsh words of, ' GET BACK from that! Do you want to burn your hands off ! " ( That was the Mumonster ! ..... whose nastiness I often had to counter . ) Now you know why the 'sage' sometimes seem like a 'buffoon'

NOOOOOOOOOOOO ! I showed em ! Me as a kid ; Of course it does . Many people have lived it ... all over the place . That is , in different places and cultures all over the world and throughout all times . And I am not speaking out my nether regions either , I have studied this all my life as a main focus of my Cultural Anthropology . Of course, I am not saying its all been good, I am talking abut the times it has been . and there are a LOT if them . And we actually know the whys and how to .... the way we can achieve it . But for many, it doesnt happen , many as in individuals or many as in whole societies . According to some , life was generally wonderfully better before we developed agriculture . https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/the-worst-mistake-in-the-history-of-the-human-race

Things have settled down a HEAP ! Cooler weather , a little rain, winds eased . The first two cyclones have dropped down from the equatorial regions and kissed the north coast of Oz , signalling the beginning of the wet season ..... hopefully . THANKS GUYS ! .... just when we REALLY pooped ..... ; "
