I remember this ... on one wall at catholic primary school was pics of Mary Jesus Joseph on the other wall was a pic of the then Pope and Chiang Kai-shek - seriously ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiang_Kai-shek Later in big school I learnt about Red China and China . Then it was Mainland China (as we traded more with them ), and Formosa then 'The people's republic of China ' ( Formosa sorta dissipated off the map ) and now .... ' China ' ( Still bloody Red Commies though ! ... Ooops ... here comes the trade delegation ... " Zǎoshang hǎo xiānshēng "

I'd like a hug . Wait ..... send a picture first .

! Man ... I been trying to get the commune to do that for over 30 years ! They had a charter ( promise ) that in turn for creating a company to continue to NURTURE and DEVELOP the original vision of the founders, they would sign over the land title papers . which we and they did . NO ONE seems to understand what nurture and develop means ! They seem to think its like how some of them try to nurture and develop their children ... that is By trying to hold them in a non developing stasis and cling to the old baby like an insecure mother . And STILL try to follow principles put in place for 1978 ! (Same with magick and hermetics ... peeps still be following occult teachings from Bible influenced post - Victorian Christian mystics with racist attitudes ! .... Which is why I into NEO-Hermetics )

We shall await Michael's response patiently on this :

yep, as I said . ( and when I read Michaels view on it, I must admit I thought " I hope Apec sees this mess ." And I even venture to suggest that Michaels comparisons come from such a source like Hancock or Sweatman or others and cut and pasted . I might be wrong, but I had to add that ( due to his 'shot ' at my lack knowledge on such matters ) Ancient Egyptian sources are notorius for misinterpretation ( unless its by someone with an actual background in reading and understanding them with much cross reference in other fields ) . Have you ever read any Cladking ( pyramid and ancient Egyptian 'theorist' and 'translator ' ? Its rather hilarious and has spread through over 3 different internet site forums . ( By mistranslating certain passages he 'proves' that the great pyramid was actually built on a cold water desert geyser that squirted water up into the air, got caught in a pan and the weight of that pulled down on a rope, through pullies and pulled the stone blocks up the other side of the pyramid .... and posted 10.100 s of words on it, showing how each part of his machine is described ( eye of Ra is the pan .... the duat is actually the geyser spray twinkling like stars in the sunlight .... and so on ) I think he has now been banned out of existence

.... sometimes , even , when I worked in public hospital as an orderly, I would have to settle down, control , etc confused violent crazy or drug and alcohol fuelled people . Sometimes a 'chi beam' look , just with my eyes would either settle them down a bit , or make them hesitate about their next move . That , coupled with the look of a friendly helper crossed with a bear that would snap you in two .... if he felt like it .

TCM doc got me in the eye sockets . I would never have allowed it if I had known .... I thought he was going for the points in the brow, or just under . The needles did look rather long, I thought . he put them in below the brow and below the eye socket bone, then angled them and pushed them all the way into my eye sockets, 3 in each, above the eyeball (the inside top of my eyeball could feel the shaft of the needle ! ) and into the back of my eye socket . Holy sheeet ! Freakiest acu I ever had ! Afterwards ; clear vision and baby clear pure white eyeballs ! Glowing ! I dont see why QiGong would NOT improve the eyes ; exercise , blood flow, chi circulation. I was also taught in Aikido that when you 'extend chi' let it beam forth from your eyes . This helps as well . You can also tell when people are 'beaming chi' out of their eyes ... their eyes then look so different .

I seemed to have missed this one before . Thats pretty good . For myth comparison . Thing is the meanings of Egyptian Gods change over time and location, so we can choose the best fits. But it IS a good one . So I dont want to spoil it I'll just add one more thing here though , a quote ; " The pool of objective data unearthed by those sciences myths is one thing, its interpretation quite another. There is a widely shared agreement that things get dodgy and speculation prevails especially when it comes to questions that involve evidence from archaeology mythology . " Yeah, but ( as an example of the 'quote; above ) if you generally ask what Egyptian God supported the sky , I think even you know what the answer would be ? https://www.britannica.com/topic/Shu-Egyptian-god ... and so on . But I do like the words ' Teut ' and 'Duat ' That Book is equally obscure and what part and section of those chapters are you referring to ? Actually, it is better to directly quote and paste the passage here . with a ref source or you could use this one https://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums-static/digitalegypt/literature/religious/bd17.html - note the ' What does this mean ? '' element of the internal commentary : " with its unparalleled structure of internal commentary. It identifies the deceased individual with the creator-god, and every few lines inserts the words 'what does it mean?' followed not much by an explanation as by a redescription in religious terms. " Okay, it was an improvement . Only partially, , mostly on the wide range of expertise I have read . As you know Michael , I see far as I stand upon the shoulders of many others . Nope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Serpent#Names_in_different_cultures Indeed-eedoo Good, it needs a rest

Hmmmm ... interesting post. Especially after reading it more than once . or maybe I am reading too much into it ? ..... ( I paused to check you out and found your intro post - no I am not reading too much into the above post . Let's start again ) As I usually observe ( and , of course, according to my views) I think the idea of soul and spirit is mixed up . Its always been so, to an extent . But I see what you are talking about as 'spirit' - as in the essential nature , the 'spirit of a thing' ; your essential nature , incarnatory ( suggesting re incarnation ) , genetic (modified by circumstance and environment - 'personna' ), or whatever 'carriers' you see or imagine . If you are interested in this I have writings comparing the Thelemic concepts with the Zoroastrian ones ( which I consider some of the Thelemic source material - via 'Chaldean' and Zoroastrian writings ( The original Magi {cians} ) posted on the forum . I rather see the soul more as the mythological Psyche but generated by 'each new life' ie it is the essential part of the human organism (not material, but manifested materially ) that makes HSS different from all the other animals . In that sense , only 'man' has a 'soul' . ( But animals may have a spirit , or a type of soul, depending on their level of ' Imaginative creativity ' - which is the essential quality of soul.) That first sentence is rather beautiful Sorrow is just a sauce to whet the appetite for joy I'm thinking of Nuit now . Unto them from whose eyes the veil of life hath fallen may there be granted the accomplishment of their true Wills; whether they will absorption in the Infinite, or to be united with their chosen and preferred, or to be in contemplation, or to be at peace, or to achieve the labour and heroism of incarnation on this planet or another, or in any Star, or aught else, unto them may there be granted the accomplishment of their wills; yea, the accomplishment of their wills. [ Actually, I was first going to ask you about your Septagram logo why you chose that and what it means to you . But at least I got a general idea now . I saw a woman with one tattoo of it behind her left ear recently , actually followed her and asked about it, she was weary at first, but then when realised the subject of my 'accosting ' her, she sparked up and said it meant a lot to her and was special , but not much more. .... I got one on my chest ]

Nah .... I mean Ch 1 V 1 in light of the way Daoism is expressed, or those 'advanced in Daoism' express themselves here. .. in light of your comments about the poor lack of , or expression, on a 'Daoist site ' The daoist forum than can e followed is not ....... Hmmm ... and here iI was thinking it had a unique and individual flavour , unlike many boring, over restricted, insane , defunct, etc . other sites I had encountered . I take it like I take a comment I once read about groups , magical orders, monasteries even , to someone that was complaining to the head of one ; " Look ! If YOU know of a group with no dickheads in it or one that has a leader with no faults , please let ME know ! " Oh, come on now. What;s he gonna do , read and scan all the posts , respond to all the new reports coming in from the hopeful ( ) and then take action on people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnPUe80oBZw

Midnight Oil used to be the voice here for a while Then he made the terrible mistake of going into politics .... as a pollie !

Maybe its my childhood conditioning; My father voted Labour and once I asked him why; " Because they are more interested in looking after the average person. " He was a fireman, you know, one of those important 'social people' that do great work and are underpaid and risk their life , like police, emergency services , nurses, etc . Most of the fireman around here dont even get paid ! he was also a Surf Life Saver . They had unions and stuff. And retirement homes and and and .... Free good medical treatment ( we still retained that somehow ) . I suppose I grew up observing the benefit . Then Goff came along .... all paternal and friendly like and we all got hyped up Seems old now, but back then, compared to the other campaign adverts ! It was like going to a rock concert ! And people where leaving the city and flocking to unused rural land (mostly failed airy farms) and creating communes. Even the Prime Ministers daughter ran off to Nimbin (hippyville) and other pollies kids too! They even tried to pass legislation for it ; Look all these kids are doing it, they want to grow food and make products, let's agree to assist, support and run co ops, buy the produce and distribute it. otherwise, its going to turn into a big mess. The right screamed no no no ... thats socialism ! So they told them to 'get a job' in those (now defunct ) areas . No jobs of course so then they had to put them all on the dole instead ... according to the current legislation then . Then they went on to complain about lefty dole bludgers . and we all got hyped up

Sean probably gone back on 'holidays' after this .

I think its a nationistic ( or country ) type problem ..... down here , we used to being told it all the time if not ...

yeah but ...... Chapter 1 . lesson 1 .... remember ?

I just posted about that in tech seems ok now .

Yeah Pilgrim .... thats sure right !

so oooo sllllooooowwww this morning ; then error sign came up with this info ; " You Browser Working Singapore Cloudflare Working www.thedaobums.com Host Error Seems to be okay now through

Lao left Confucius right .

HEADS UP PEEPS ! It was THIS THREAD that was said to 'keep left' . not the whole forum. And the thread is asking if there are lefties here , and is asking that right wing people dont subvert and hack a thread that is merely talking about people that are lefties. So what ! I keep outa the Trump thread for similar reasons . Settle down .

I dont think then, that you understand the ghist of Sterney's argument that you are trying to support ... it IS all about the 'spread' of civilisation .... as much. The mythical Troy has been found has it ? . You need to look deeper into that one . and its one that is always thrown up as an example . But lets run with dominant paradigm here and say it has been ... but that still doesnt ease the the 'strain' of that analogy http://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/why-the-discovery-of-troy-is-a-bad-analogy-for-finding-atlantis and some KNOW it is earlier Vikings 'discovery' of America ! Pffft ! https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2018/11/ancient-dna-reveals-complex-migrations-first-americans/ Thats as bad as saying Capt Cook discovered Australia Brought in ? If you happened to dock in Alexandria back then , they seized your books and records by force . Not that I get what it has to do with what you are saying . I already said I am a proponent of early sea faring ... Australian ... remember ? And a reviewer of History . You seem to think that I think Christopher Columbus discovered America ? And are now going on about all this . It started by me disputing our cocaine and tobacco mummies as evidence of trade between Egypt and Sth America, that you offered up in some type of support of the world wide Atlantis influence on world cultures (throughout time) . Now you are acting as If I never knew others came to america before the USA history books state . Way to run a 'argument ' .

Hmmm ... More like 'Sahul ' I think . Some Sri Lankan ' Lemurians' see the 'continent ' extending all the way to off the western Australian . coast

? No . I had a wonderful past ... what you on about ? too much time ? Nah I can breeze through this . Then go to beach, do some training, garden, chop fire wood, do the shopping ,put on a load of washing, cook lunch . later I will read some of the 3 books I am reading at once, do some research on ancient hominids and read and write on the history forum . Although I am running late today , I was up late having sex last night and then listening to music while I drew up architectural plans for my new Japanese bath house I am building . You can achieve a lot when you dont have to slave for a living

A result of your practice . Interesting . My 'spiritual practice' ( I suppose the 'main one ' ) is intentionally ,deliberately, revolutionary, anarchistic and libertarian. Hey ye ! ( ) " LET IT BE KNOWN that there exists, unknown to the great crowd, a very ancient Order of sages, whose object is the amelioration and spiritual evolution of mankind by means of conquering error and aiding men and women in their efforts of attaining the power of recognising the truth. This Order has existed already in the most remote times and it has manifested its activity secretly and openly in the world under different names and in various forms: it has caused social and political revolutions and proved to be the rock of salvation in times of danger and misfortune. It has always upheld the banner of freedom against tyranny in whatever shape this appeared, whether as clerical or political or social despotism or oppression of any kind. To this "secret order" every wise and spiritually enlightened person belongs by right of his or her nature: because they all, even if they are personally unknown to each other, are one in their purpose and object and they all work under the guidance of the one light of truth. Into this Sacred Society no one can be admitted by another unless he has the power to enter it himself by virtue of his own interior illumination, neither can anyone after he has once entered be expelled unless he should expel himself by becoming unfaithful to his principles and forget again the truths which he has learned by his own experience. "

No , YOU probably cant . But in my house , enough is enough . I have instilled a ban on people talking talking 'community politics' in my space . Its been going on far too long, it is disruptive and effects the ' Heiwa-tekina-chowa ' of my space . They keep trying to ; three times recently THREE TIMES I have been asked . cajoled, pleaded with to come to a community meeting ( by a nice young woman ) , I keep saying no, but she is trying to manipulate me . " What for ! You keep doing that, you want my advise and consultation and want me to chair as you think I am the fairest, yet no one ever listens anyway, so why bother . " I said that the first time she asked . After her 4th asking I said " What for, do you think I am a sadist! If I want that I will pay a whore to flog with me with a whip ." She didnt ask a 5th time . The other side of the coin is .... you own a business , you can run it how ever you want . If people dont like it, no is forcing them to be here . .
