  1. Do What Thou Wilt

    I guess he could just take the balls out of his mouth .... that would be a bit proactive .
  2. Do What Thou Wilt

    Nah . It is ; 'this man shot this man' because THE EVIDENCE INDICATES it ! You , on the other hand seem to operate without any need or consideration of evidence . You would be good at running an inquisition hearing !
  3. Do What Thou Wilt

    Now you are misinterpreting Crowley in yet another misunderstanding and another misquote. These damn misquoties ! I challenge you to quote him showing your bolded words above . Since you NEVER have shown any quoted reference to anything , one assumes you are referring to Liber Oz ... which clearly states that ; " 5. Man has the right to kill those who would thwart these rights ". Not to 'kill for what we believe " .
  4. Knowledge is very simple

    To understand what Crowley wrote he considered you would need some type of Education , especially in the classics first . I suggest you start here ; Gorgias by Plato
  5. Knowledge is very simple

    Have you thought about getting a job ? And contributing something valuable to society ?
  6. Knowledge is very simple

    Thats silly . See above (I even tried to help you today )

  8. How lazy are you?

    This one is hard to beat ; The lazy bong smoker . Friend had this abso lazy guy staying at his place , he did nothing except punch cones and slob on the couch - they where not even his cones, he was scabbing off his host. Another friend of mine went to see them and told me the visitor complained " The mull bowl is empty ." The owner of the baggy goes " There is the bag, mull up some more ." And the lazy guy looks troubled, screws his face up and goes " Ahhh, I'll just wait until you do it ." A pothead, too lazy to mull up someone else's pot so he can smoke it .

  10. The scandal of me sitting in full lotus padmasana

    Okay here is your 20 . < waiting >
  11. I'll tell you something , though not etymology ; Last night the Moon was a full eerie Pink orange disk (masses amount of bushfire smoke ) , everything was in a weird light . Wild dogs or dingos where across the river in the forest ( driven there by fires I imagine ) howling and wailing their hearts out ... heaps of them. A very strange Moony doggie night
  12. He seems very certain , considering the debate still rages in scientific camps ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas_impact_hypothesis#Criticism a 'research pie fight ' But I will certainly watch it , thanks .
  13. INFERNO !

    Waited and ..... nothing ! The wind didnt come last night . And only a slight breeze now , but here , down in the valley its hard to tell the general wind condition. Report was the fire situation has eased across the fire ground and the wind did change direction . But that might be becasue the wind has blown the fire away from a large residential area ... and towards me . I dont know where, it just says 'moving in a NW direction' it doesnt say how far it moved . Could be like this for days on end . Yesterday, state fire services attended 300 fires .
  14. Knowledge is very simple

    When I go into 'religious mode' (I know, I am weird ; instead of being certain that my religious beliefs are reality, I use my propensity to have a belief system and a religion to my own ends ), I am thankful that my worshipful deity is female , and not some male war God ! Surely this must make a huge psychological difference in people ? Some extracts : The unveiling of the company of heaven. Every man and every woman is a star. Every number is infinite; there is no difference. 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. Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I, and what shall be the sign? So she answered him, bending down, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not hurting the little flowers: Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my body. For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union. This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all. The word of Sin is Restriction. O man! refuse not thy wife, if she will! O lover, if thou wilt, depart! There is no bond that can unite the divided but love: all else is a curse.. Take your fill and will of love as ye will, when, where and with whom ye will! But always unto me. This shall regenerate the world, the little world my sister, my heart & my tongue, unto whom I send this kiss. To me! To me! Invoke me under my stars! Love is the law, love under will. Nor let the fools mistake love; for there are love and love. There is the dove, and there is the serpent. Choose ye well! I give unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death; peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in sacrifice. But to love me is better than all things: if under the night stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me, invoking me with a pure heart, and the Serpent flame therein, thou shalt come a little to lie in my bosom. Bbut always in the love of me, and so shall ye come to my joy. I love you! I yearn to you! Pale or purple, veiled or voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple, and drunkenness of the innermost sense, desire you. Put on the wings, and arouse the coiled splendour within you: come unto me! Sing the rapturous love-song unto me! Burn to me perfumes! Wear to me jewels! Drink to me, for I love you! I love you!. I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset; I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky. To me! To me!

    he will get all uppity if you correct him .... careful, or you will be put in the box with the rest of 'us'. He does have a right to his opinion you know ... even if its wrong ... what are ya a fascist or somefin ? .
  16. Do What Thou Wilt

    THIS ^ is so relevant for so many subjects for so many posters and people in real life . And the reaction when people get busted or called out for that acting because in the modern world people have got the right to free speech confused with the' right to be right' no matter what they say .
  17. Do What Thou Wilt

    MIssing it ? ! ? Dude ! I pointed that out to you when you first started up with all this on this site ages ago ! But then again You have been refusing to acknowledge , not only what I wrote but the source material I linked to and supplied to back up what I said . I have even offered it to everyone else an a few cases specifically directed people towards it . The concept of 'True Will' I linked to Khvanah of Zoroastrianism (and linked to stuff on that ) . I even suggested AC probably got it via Golden Dawn and their study of 'Chaldean Magic' . Other sources and influences aside from Crowley : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelema#Historical_precedents Of which even the most basic researcher knows about . But in doing that you cited him and his precepts . If the above was really your intent , then you set up your arguments in the wrong way . Errrmmmm ... you just did it again ! You said what essentially Crowley was on about . If that is wrong, people will dispute with that . " Crowley uses to support his "religion", which, essentially, is the liberty to love who and how you want, to work when and how you want, and to relax as you want-" That is YOUR interpretation of what Crowey means , it isnt Crowleys interpretation of what he means nor is it your interpretation of what YOU mean ... its you interpreting Crowley . Are you getting it yet ? You could have presented all this as your own musings, but you didnt, you tried to bring all this other stuff into it, interpreting and telling people what Crowley meant by certain things , when we have his own explanations about what he meant. Rubbish ! I even commented that it was valid and made a comment like ; well, if you dont agree with this (Man's right to fight with and kill oppressors ), then just line up for the gas chamber next time a Hitler appears . I am sooo familar with that document its laughable that you now claim I refuse to read it . Dude ! I SIGNED IT ! Idiot ! You never did that ! You couldnt even show an interpretation ... some rubbish about a fairy star ! Then when I started to show I knew something about it you pulled this ; " Well, you either know or you dont know ." and have refused to enter into discussion about it ever since ! You mean this ; We will .... on your PPP you just dont get it do you ? If you start communicating properly, and answering the actual questions yourself ... that might come about . and you been told this more than once .
  18. Do What Thou Wilt

    Dude ! Did you just say Earl Grey doesnt bother to help people by trying to get them to question their beliefs . Classic !

    I got my own collection of 'leader beans' on my shelf
  20. Do What Thou Wilt

    But I said I must have misread it . That was the source of me thinking you where a Thelemite and now I have acknowledged my mistaken misreading ... and that made me a troll ? You know, when I thought you where saying you had adopted it as a religion, I thought , oh well, people interpret religions in all sorts of ways , so maybe I should lay off a bit on your weird representation of thelema as its a private religious thing for you . But, since you are now saying it isnt .......
  21. Do What Thou Wilt

    I think our Mskied might be a bit like another of Wilson's characters ; Sir John Babcock Actually .... JUST LIKE Sir John Babcock
  22. Nope ... wrong again . Methinks an holistic understanding is required here and an awareness of interrelated components creating a healthy natural system . Caterpillars provide a lot of food for birds , small mammals like rodents, hedgehogs and even bears . They also help support ants . Ants prey on most insect species, but have a mutually beneficial relationship with caterpillars. Caterpillars produce sugary excretions known as honeydew, which ants consume. In turn, ants provide caterpillars protection from predatory insects. Some ant species escort the caterpillar into their nest in order to have exclusive rights to the caterpillar's excretions. If a caterpillar wants protection, it creates a vibration to signal its presence to nearby ants. Of course caterpillars can get out of control, run plague , and destroy crops ... but that is usually in huge commercial monoculture (and small monoculture ) ... which is why those systems (which are not natural) are now discouraged and are an unnatural system . One tree species, the red maple, benefits from the voracious eating habits of two caterpillar species, the eastern tent and European gypsy moths. The caterpillars do not eat red maple vegetation, but feed on the leaves of the red maple's competitors, which includes oak and sassafras trees. Of course, without caterpillars we would not have butterflies ... they have a role in tending the garden as well . And dont forget silk ! What you gonna do for silk underwear with no caterpillars !
  23. Do What Thou Wilt

    Oh, okay then , sorry, I must have misread something .... " Today I am finally realizing my history. I have no one to share it with, for the people that I have told it to do not hear it. I do not expect anyone here to hear it either, ... I am finally settled upon the religion of Thelema. I have struggled against this faith for 20 years, nearly as long as it has been that I was aware of it, but fate, and logic, will have their way. This religion is authentic, though it does not alter destiny. Rather, it embraces it, and encourages us to act it out. I have struggled with a method to avert it, but I know that the Will of mankind is too strong, and that the ancients will never allow us to stay idle- we will always need people that Do What They Wilt. ... " Sound familiar ?
  24. INFERNO !

    So glad you okay, so sad about your place . Its a relief to hear from you . Once, I was fighting a nasty fire, a few of us on one side and some others on the other side, working in a pincher movement going up a spur. A wind flare up and direction changed the fire erupted and surged towards the others. All we could see was a wall of fire and smoke. We carried on with our task and eventually won, the fire died down and then we saw the others on the other side doing the same . Man, was it a relief to see those guys. Like its a relief to hear from you . After a while nature will start to regenerate. And people like you will be there, doing their regeneration work , now, assistance, in a totally different way . A lot of the problem stuff ( weeds, feral and exotic intrusions , etc . ) will have been removed as well as the natural stuff. The battle against that will have shifted to an assistance and encouragement to natural regeneration . Cycads are a good example, they tend to come up first and other more ancient natives ( they have been around long enough to have strategies to deal with huge unusual fires and can deal with them) I am reminded of two things ; one from hermetics and another from bio-dynamic gardening ; all of nature is renewed by fire and effecting change takes a long time, one needs patience . Glad to hear about the few animals that found refuge with you . And , of course, this is emotionally shattering, and takes time too to regenirate, so , once again, thanks for taking the time to 'report in' . 7 weeks after 10 months later (and this was a hugely devastating fire that burnt out everything , even the observatory there . )
