Just goes to show how little I know about politics ! I had no idea that capitalism ever had a notion of 'for the benefit of all ' in the first place

I never noticed that, I did see some Christian based threads , but I didnt get involved with their Christian philosophy, it seems fundamentally flawed. Tome, that sounds like a great Socialist motto . This is the main reason I responded to your post. We must really move in different circle here. I have made HEAPS of posts about martial arts other than tai chi . HEAPS ! and peeps talked with me about it . IMO keep outa political and Christian threads and cast your net further here Enjoy the new.

if you see scales out of balance, and then take a little off one side, there is bound to be a bit of a swing back the other way, at first , before the balance is achieved

I was doing both ; using your answer to me there to actually answer your question to us here . - the enlightened know how things work, the ignorant don't , that's the difference between them. .... regarding your above quote ; I already know how it works and have many years experience in using it and know a good deal about its history and usages. I didnt get it tattooed over my heart chakra as a whim, or because it 'looked cool' , ya know . And to answer your question, which remained to be seen , no I do not want to enter a door you created with use of a symbol that you interpret your own way ( which appears to be some convolution of Thelemic and Faery - both fields open to W I D E misinterpretation and modern degradation ) .

Well ...... " You either know how it works , or you dont . "

Cant make a topic in 'Primordial Chaos' so I put it here ; Also, it has a heart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu_Macula Geological activity even ! But it isnt a planet - so they say .... now .

YES !

regarding if 'the soul' knows the difference . let's just call the faculty the self, for simplicity. There must be some function in the self that allows it to distinguish memories of real events from dreams, games and fantasies . This faculty, at times, and in some doesnt work as well as it could . Usually, when we make a mistake , we can soon rectify it ; " Didn't I see Bill yesterday ? ..... < thinks > , oh no, that was a dream . " A friend of mine has it bad, and different , they have constructed their own version of some events that are just not true . I even explained it to them and they agreed, and came to agreement with me about what really happened . A year later they have slipped back into their old 'memory' . Programming . Thats what happens to us . We dont really learn deeply, unless its through programming or multiple sense recognition. People have been programming each other ever since modern HSS. We get evidence of it from the caves at Lascaux and onwards up to the preset day ; generally in what we call an 'initiation ceremony' - dramatic ritual, 'theatre' , noise, colour and image, repetition, physical actions and sensations, etc . all come together to make changes in the psyche . people have known this for a long time , basically, it is trying to emulate a 'life experience' , emulate something that happened in 'real life' , but in a way so that it sinks in, becomes part of the programme . Nowadays they use the same principles in VR / AR learning , they have discovered this is a super quick and efficient way of 'teaching ' and programming people . Playing a computer game for hours on end is very similar and the more bells and ribbons on it ; colours, flashing lights, sounds , 3D etc . the more effect it is . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality and when you get really good 'on screen ' ; https://www.defencejobs.gov.au/jobs/army/drone-operator

Hmmmm .... and if Aron had not cut off his arm ? What would have happened ?

I find the bits I highlighted interesting and want to comment later on them ( gotta leave soon and take friend to airport , so little time ) Study ? You dont need a study. Even years back a friend of mine went to another friend about her son ; " he asked me if I wanted a go on his game , it was some type of 'military lack ops BS thi'ng. They had an interrogation room and a prisoner of Asian appearance chained by his hands to the wall. There where various devices available to convince him to talk, ie, torture. He offered the adult a 'go'. Who refused. The kid then tried various things on the prisoner but then got bared and chose a large sword and severed his arms, leaving the hands in the chains and the body dropped to the floor. he asked the mother if she knew her son played it. "Oh , all the kids are doing stuff like that now . You know .... many years ago there was this 'coming apocalypse ' thing . There was even an apocalypse party I went to . . People seemed surprised when I started telling them its already here, and has been for a while . The slow apocalypse . But anyway .... chin up .... its a new day . (How the hell to we actually survive ?

Do YOU want a fight ?

Nice . Dhafer Yousef .... what a voice !

Balloons ? WTF ! At lest I can (usually) hear the helicopters coming .

............ Hmmmm .... NOT sure ..... I think the bag STILL contains some cat

It describes, in general, the transformation of substances . I like Swinburne's description of ' What is Man ' : Before the beginning of years There came to the making of man Time, with a gift of tears; Grief, with a glass that ran; Pleasure, with pain for leaven; Summer, with flowers that fell; Remembrance, fallen from heaven, And madness risen from hell; Strength without hands to smite; Love that endures for a breath; Night, the shadow of light, And life, the shadow of death. And the high gods took in hand Fire, and the falling of tears, And a measure of sliding sand From under the feet of the years; And froth and the drift of the sea; And dust of the laboring earth; And bodies of things to be In the houses of death and of birth; And wrought with weeping and laughter, And fashioned with loathing and love, With life before and after And death beneath and above, For a day and a night and a morrow, That his strength might endure for a span With travail and heavy sorrow, The holy spirit of man. From the winds of the north and the south, They gathered as unto strife; They breathed upon his mouth, They filled his body with life; Eyesight and speech they wrought For the veils of the soul therein, A time for labor and thought, A time to serve and to sin; They gave him light in his ways, And love, and space for delight, And beauty, and length of days, And night, and sleep in the night. His speech is a burning fire; With his lips he travaileth; In his heart is a blind desire, In his eyes foreknowledge of death; He weaves, and is clothed with derision; Sows, and he shall not reap; His life is a watch or a vision Between a sleep and a sleep.

DUDE ! You time away has really aged you ! Maybe update your profile pic !

..... well, I guess I'll be safe here - never heard of a Nungali burger ( N. pie, N. roll , N. sausage . . . of Nungali frog ... Nungali underground stockpile ..... ... bring it on dudes !

Let's take a little musical interlude ...

Unfortunate. I keep out of those areas too . Even though I have very strong opinions on it . Women need a place to relate together without interference . Its another whole subject I dont get ; why men need to interfere with that . I saw, on tv doco , men being asked ; "What do you think of women ?" .... some of the answers ! I was watching with a woman friend and she " Well, what do YOU think of women ?" ? What sort of a question is that ? I suppose the answer comes from whatever present pre-occupation, attraction or repulsion you are feeling about certain women . Most had some type of complaint . I found it a really hard question to answer . I had to think really hard .... eventually ; " I think they are one half of the human race . " ..... I worked on an all woman crew for a while .. woman boss too . (I mean, in the film industry - I have done that before, in nursing ) I was warned about the difficulty of working with them, the bossy woman in charge ! ( Ummmm ... guys .... she is the boss ) And all the nasty lesbians that work with her . She asks me first min of day one if I can taking directions from a woman. I say ; yes, if she is the boss and competent . And she " So you dont mind woman on top ? " " Nope ! I am lazy , so hop on . " and they laughed . The first day 4 times she asks me if I want to have a break a cuppa and a smoke , before lunch even . Eventually I gave up . okay okay, I will take a break then . And she brings me a cup of tea .. Then one of the lesbians brings me out a snack " I made these cakes " Then I am getting cuppas , snacks, offers of help ... 'Here I'll lift that for you ." etc . WTF . But what nice young women ! Why are they being so nice to me ? Maybe I still 'got it' ? Then when I asked them about it " Well, you are pretty old . We dont want to wear you out till the jobs over " HEY !

'''..... like Brian . Briaaaaan ! Come baaaack !

No, I didnt switch sides to the right wing bullshit Yep Choy li fut eh ? I knew a guy that did that, he was pretty good - also ambidextrous . Sometimes he seemed to defy gravity; he would sorta spin around as if he had planted his forearms on a table and his body would rotate around them, with legs following for a kick .... but his forearms where 'resting on the air ' . Skill !

( Cant seem to find or remember the thread where we where talking MA ? ) I talked about this before , I dont know a better term to describe it ..... They punch and you evade to one side, the next thing they do, you are on their other side ... switch back and forward until you find an opening . Its confusing . My instructor does it okay .... with a 'set up ' ( ie . 'attack me like this and then do this and that ') Mr N. seems to have adopted it as one of his specialities . I struggle with it . This guy below seems to be good at some form of it . Anyone know what style or technique he has ? from 1:15 It looks a bit ' funny', we dont flail our arms around like that, but I think I have seen some kung fu people fight like that ? - Or was he just 'flappin' and 'got lucky ' ?
