Some guys do and some guys dont . Same applies to women . Thats an 'interesting' turn of phrase . or, there could be a third alternative .... that lies somewhere within yourself . -

You do ? Thats interesting . I have a strident opposition to people that raid others threads and conversations with irrelevant idiocy , keep doing it, then stop doing it and apologise then come back and keep doing it . Annoying isnt it ? I see you are back to your 'normal 'operational mode . -

First you post about all the weird stuff happening to you and a 'seizure ' ... now you are concentrating on how to get more hooch inside your brain ? Okey dokey . -
One interesting way to compare the views of old aeon /new aeon is to look at the card changes in the deck . The main ones that stand out are ; 'Justice' to 'Adjustment ' , 'Strength' to 'Lust' , 'Temperance ' to 'Art' 'The Last Judgement' to 'The Aeon' , & 'The World' to 'The Universe' .

regarding the permafrost meltdown creepy scary ; Above ground burials in permafrost area , the bodies used to stay frozen , now they are thawing out and potentially .... Long-dormant microbes โ some trapped in the ice for tens of thousands of years โ are beginning to wake up, releasing equally ancient C02, and could potentially come to infect humans with deadly diseases. https://www.vox.com/2017/9/6/16062174/permafrost-melting .

I am sure some here are familiar with the potential methane crisis ? https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/methane-paris-climate-change-crisis-atmosphere-noaa-a8928711.html and things like this ; Now look at this . The last big melt (at the end of the last ice age ) , old craters on the sea floor from methane explosions ; Massive blow-out craters formed by hydrate-controlled methane expulsion from the Arctic seafloor

Lucky Duck ! We could use some of that rain to put out fires ! yesterday I noticed the grass out the front of my place crunches when you walk on it . It is so dry it just breaks when you walk over it . And this valley is renown for staying green when all else goes brown . No rain on the horizon anywhere yet . Actually, its weird here ; day temps have been VERY low, clouds come in , temp drops and with all the smoke like mist, it feels just like it does before heavy rain comes , but there is a pink light and a pink orange ball in the sky and totally dry . The body senses rain is coming ... but it also senses that it is too dry for that .

Sumer: the "black-headed" vs. the "red-faced"
Nungali replied to Taomeow's topic in General Discussion
Have you ever lived on the dirt Gendao , close to nature ? I have . I used to love sitting around in the dirt by the fire with my Bundjalung friends . ..... for a while . Then eventually you get covered in this combination of fine dust and charcoal powder from the fire and a coating of animal grease from the animal parts either cooking on the fire or hanging above it. Throw some blood and guts into that mixture if you are involved with hunting and preparing the food . And no washing ... only in the river , which is cold water and doesnt really wash off the grime, just smears it around more and emulsifies it . Then any clothes you wear start to get 'shiny' and stiff . About a week and half of that and I was very ready for a nice modern hot western shower with soap . Not saying what is better or worse here ... just wondering if you yourself have actually ever experienced anything you write about ? Like the 'lawn' thing . I agree with the sentiments , but have YOU ever had to manage land ? Eg, using the same people and location as above ; they got a heap of land back that was theirs and it was stolen during white settlement and turned into a cow farm ; acres of pasture . Now its their land and they want to get rid of the cattle. No cattle and no mowing is just going to result in a mess of tangled invasive species . In a large are like this, with little funds and resources to replant the whole thing naturally, whats the choice ? In this situation it usually results in invasive exotic regrowth . -
Sumer: the "black-headed" vs. the "red-faced"

I get around this ^ by simply dumping a handful of earth down the back of me undies . That way my base chakra is ALWAYS close to the earth . -
Not sure understand the question but it did make me think of this ; In Crowley's fav initiation system, OTO ; the first 3 degrees represent birth life death. The ceremonies are based around this '2nd Aeon' concept of death and rebirth . Think of the old system where the dying and rebirth through seed of the local grain crop was revered ( wheat, corn, millet, etc ) and the passage of the Sun traversing the sky, setting / 'dying' and travelling through the underworld and being reborn at dawn . This was deemed analogous to the life and death of Man, with an after life in the underworld ( 'below' the Earth ) and/or a transmigration to the heavens ( 'above' the Earth) . But towards the end of this series of initiations one of the knowledge lectures explains that, although 'the mysteries' are based on this cycle of the Sun going around the Earth, we now know this is not the case . The daily cycle of day and night is due to the relatively fixed Sun with the Earth rotating on its axis and points on the Earths surface moving from sunlight into 'shade ' . Two points are bought up in relation to this ; 1 ) Why do all that, and learn that stuff and enact it in initiation ceremony if it is (mostly) Old Aeon and part of the death / resurrection cycle, whose analogy with the Solar cycle is incorrect ? It is becasue the world and most other people are still operating on this level, its mostly the environment / paradigm that we live in. And also, we need to know and understand where we came from/ are now so as to be able to navigate through the new . 2) In light of this new information ( that the natural analogy of death isnt about the Sun 'dying' and travelling through the underworld to be reborn - the Sun 'never dies' , it us that 'turns' into the 'shade' ) the candidate is encouraged to take all the old principles they have learned and look at them in light of this 'new' information, how to re-interpret and apply it and what significance does it have and hw does it change the teachings . No solutions are offered, it is left up to the candidate to work on it themselves . To me this signifies a great leap forward . People are not just being taught the old stuff - as most groups do - but are encouraged to accept new findings and science and incorporate that into ...... what I call ' Neo-hermetics '. So much of modern hermetics / magic / ritual / occultism is based on principles that are a few centuries out of date . That's why it doesn't make a lot of sense to some people .

" ...But his physical appearance was not as shocking as his mental deterioration. When asked to give his name and date of birth, he struggled visibly over several seconds to recall both. I will come to the important content of his statement at the end of proceedings in due course, but his difficulty in making it was very evident; it was a real struggle for him to articulate the words and focus his train of thought. " Until yesterday I had always been quietly sceptical of those who claimed that Julianโs treatment amounted to torture โ even of Nils Melzer, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture โ and sceptical of those who suggested he may be subject to debilitating drug treatments. But having attended the trials in Uzbekistan of several victims of extreme torture, and having worked with survivors from Sierra Leone and elsewhere, I can tell you that yesterday changed my mind entirely and Julian exhibited exactly the symptoms of a torture victim brought blinking into the light, particularly in terms of disorientation, confusion, and the real struggle to assert free will through the fog of learned helplessness. " Everybody in that court yesterday saw that one of the greatest journalists and most important dissidents of our times is being tortured to death by the state, before our eyes. To see my friend, the most articulate man, the fastest thinker, I have ever known, reduced to that shambling and incoherent wreck, was unbearable. Yet the agents of the state, particularly the callous magistrate Vanessa Baraitser, were not just prepared but eager to be a part of this bloodsport. She actually told him that if he were incapable of following proceedings, then his lawyers could explain what had happened to him later. The question of why a man who, by the very charges against him, was acknowledged to be highly intelligent and competent, had been reduced by the state to somebody incapable of following court proceedings, gave her not a millisecond of concern.

You could always join them and live in your own little village where you all talk nonsense to each other ----------- I said that in particular as it seems a valid solution , Crowley opted on it when musing on one's right to express their individual will and the right for a collective to have a collective will . What, for example, to do when an individual's will is at odds with the collective will ? Well, either they should leave that collective, or if they do not and force is required they should be moved to another 'collective' where their 'will' can be 'magically enacted ' . He gave the example of a thief . The collective will acknowledged the right for an individual to own their own individual property and goods that they validly earned or owned . The thief, by stealing that property (taking possession invalidly ) has magically asserted that they do not believe in personal valid ownership of property and goods and should be removed and placed in the correct environment where people do not have the right to own property and goods (ie, prison ) .

The school holidays have been affecting other forums too ; " .... whenever I put my hand in a certain spot while it rained thunder would appear there. So I took videos. They will be linked below, ... . Idk what I have or why this is happening so if you can tell me please do. " ... and guess what happened next ? people on that forum pointed out the obvious and 'Mr Lightening' first pretended innocence, then denial, then silly comment, then abuse , then cited unfairness and just continued talking unrelated rubbish regardless of what was said or asked .

Nope . Its , rather , a load of confused bullshit . You might like to think you cause some trepidation ... but

One who knows his subject well rejoices in tests . The unstudied and unprepared approach them with trepidation . If someone asks to test me ... thats one thing . If someone asks to test ' on ' me thats possibly an entirely different thing .... or maybe they just failed at English ?

I would say there is a heap of practical difference - the first being motivated by capitalism, seems to me from the above , somehow fake in that I dont think True Will was about convincing anyone that the work they are doing is their calling . Again, not knowing much about him, it SEEMS though its more like ; if people are devoted they will perform better . In short, I am curious or suspicious about what this NEED is that would be 'served well'. Is the need the fulfilment and development of the individual combined with a better regulated and liberated society or is the need related to production rates and ultimately profit ? Campbell seems closer as it seems more geared towards the fulfilment and development of the individual . AS far as 'avoiding work' goes, one who is working at a job that IS the fulfilment of their True Will , it doesnt seem like work at all ; you get to do what you most love ... and get paid for doing it as well ! I think the True Will expression and the no work thing will evolve together, the more automation takes over jobs . otherwise what is one to do ? Seek out your passion and work or sit around doing nothing, or triviality and consonantly getting out of it .

I'd say that both of those are in some way parts of it . But just going on your descriptions above . I am not familiar with Weber .
