  1. Rasputin

    Something about his eyes, apparently .
  2. Rasputin

    Nah ... its just his usual rant ... he can go on and on and ..... who needs a topic ! Topics are for losers ! Just let you mind wander wherever it will, unfocused and write it all out here ...... someone will think its ' wisdom '
  3. yeah ..... yeah .... that's pretty good actually - close . Ohhh ..... Thats the part I have an issue with ; the possibilities of transformation being " infinitely endless " and the fantasy stuff - both are linked actually. The thing is ; your potential may be hugely greater than you realise , this is important to keep in mind when on the path of development, transformation, initiation . But each person has a limit , an 'orbit' an 'extension of possibilities', and not realising this can lead to fantasy and time wasting pursuits that could have been better spent developing our own true unique and individual nature. This usually is connected with the process of and releases 'creativity' - that is what is meant in ' becoming like the / a God/s .' However, I am speaking from a position of studying AND practising , mostly in the Western Hermetic Traditions and Australian Aboriginal Shamanic Tradition ( with 'excursions' into other traditions as well ), in all of that this is an important teaching and realisation. I am not saying there are NOT those groups and individuals in this sphere that get involved in fantasies, but going on what actually worked and delivered what it said it would , and, on many levels, continually improved my life and made it better. Perusing the fantasies of infinite endless possibilities never produced any great change or physical real results . - only in moments of delusion . Ie. it never lasted like the other stuff did , it was fantasy, imagination or fooling myself - and seen others do it too ! I have had great vision and imagination, I really had to go against the flow, system, peers, etc to manifest what I wanted in the way I wanted to , but I never envisioned the extent of the success. You cant expect a shark to live on a mountain, or a goat to live in the ocean. But we can all develop ourselves to have the best life we can - within the sphere of our potentials .
  4. No . First he suggested The Buddha was already a Buddha before he achieved Buddhahood. Then; " if he was already a buddha, he wouldn't have gone through the pains of achieving Buddhahood. " However ... Buddha himself says ;
  5. Now you are saying the opposite of what you said before ; If the Buddha does not believe himself to be a Buddha, then how is he going to achieve buddhahood?

  7. nearly as funny as the real one
  8. Ha! But I still prefer 'Mr. Mifune' from 4:40
  9. AI has depicted a time loop

    Actually Lois ... thats your best one yet . . . . visually, I mean . I am serious ... I would like that on my wall ( and I have VERY limited wall space and I am very fussy ) .
  10. Water above Fire

    Thats good, because that is where everyone of us ends up : the body back to Mother Earth that formed our substance , and the spirit to the 'great and formless void ' .
  11. Water above Fire

    The serpent which came forth from the earth has risen; the flame which came forth from Nun is fallen. " ... In the ordinary Hexagram, the Hexagram of nature, the red triangle is upwards, like fire, and the blue triangle downwards, like water. In the magical hexagram this is reversed; " But comparing the 'virtues' of water , to virtues we need to develop, as prime virtues, is something else .
  12. Water above Fire

    Because it is a 'higher type' of water , not water in the elemental meaning ? This concept is in a few cultures , where water exists as a creative medium , even before 'fire' appears - it can mean ' the formless body of primeval water surrounding the habitable or yet to be formed world' . " And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters. " 1::2 Then at 1:3 "Let there be light " . In Australian mythology ; Earth was without form ( a flat disc of sand ) Wallenganda - black snake ( the dark part that runs through the middle of the 'Milky Way' ), who is also a river, spat some of her water down on the earth . In the Enuma Elish, the Deep is personified as the goddess Tiamat - often depicted as a sea serpent / monster / dragon. The etymology of the name shows various linguistic connections to words that mean 'sea' . Even some scientists postulate earth's water came here as a comet . (A 'big snake' full of water ) I suppose, standing on the shore of a great sea, or living on a huge island surrounded by sea for 10s of 1000s of years, the contrast of the 'void and formlessness' of the vast sea , compared to what was happening on the land, both naturally and at the hand of man, made people think things came out of THAT 'formless void' , or (as they did with many rivers , in places like India, earlier Vedic lands, Australia) there was a cosmic counterpart, in ' the heavens" of the rivers and seas - the 'cosmic ocean'.
  13. So you mean he had to believe he already was a Buddha before he achieved being a Buddha ? .... I wondered why went through all that stuff to become a Buddha when he already believed he was one ? Please continue launching your philosophical ships ... this is become more entertaining as we go along Well, some people became a messiah without ever believing they where one .
  14. Not sue if you are talking to and asking me but the next line of yours looks like it It is your assumption that I do not believe . It is your additions to those beliefs that I commented on. One person might say there are fairies ... OK Another person might say " The fairies are disguised as the people all around me and they are trying to control and manipulate me . And I might say "I would be cautious about tht, sounds a bit paranoid . Then " HE DOESNT BELIEVE IN FAIRIES ... HE DOESNT BELIEVE IN FAIRIES . ! " I even doubt you can comprehend this point , at the stage you seem to be immersed in. Well .... that kinda says t all doesm't it . .... what a friggin power trip !
  15. I see. Now your own advice YOU give to others is valid and not in any way " making decisions for people" . yet when I give advice it IS making decisions for people . That must only apply to me and not you . Interesting ! No, let's NOT say that , as when I was giving that advice I felt no discord in my energy whatsoever . I said the same thing, with the addition of, it looks like I need to repeat it again for you ; " .... but please beware if such thoughts or actions based on them start to effect your life or others adversely . " Except this is a contradiction you are weaving yourself, in order to criticise your own creation that is being attempted to be pushed on to me . I dont accept it . Oh yeah, that is EXACTLY what I did . See how you are creating this yourself , now you are trying to make it mine and then knock it down. Dies this make you feel better or more sure of yourself ? Yes, I am possessed by a demon that causes me to write i posts that are like telling people to burn the hand to the bone and then take painkiller to relieve the pain. That is exactly what my posts are like . Yes. I can agree with the second sentence . But I am curious ; if you have "no idea ' about it , why did you postulate all those questions, silly comparisons and thinly veiled innuendo at me ? Hmmmmmmm ? So what . I couldnt care less, I was';t giving the advice to you . Then I hope your natural sense for your naturally sensing your senses remains natural . Hey thats you talking there isnt it ? : " "That could very well be. I have no idea " And whatever it is that is 'driving ' you * it seems there is also some breast fixation / denial at the heart of it . Good luck with it all * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_theory
  16. That would be a valid comment if I was making decisions for people . Maybe you need to read my post again ? Especially this bit ; " Its fine to postulate such stuff, but please beware if such thoughts or actions based on them start to effect your life or others adversely . " Why are you so opposed to sensible advice ?
  17. I live amongst people that think like you do, many a time I have seen such 'defences' given for and to the 'confused' - which indeed makes them worse. I have even had people return to me and thank me later as the one clear voice that helped them, when others just projected their own 'hopes for the mystical' and belief that all expressions are valid on to them. But you carry on supporting that. And I will carry on with giving rational and sensible advice ...... I mean "taking things away from people" .
  18. I Swoop Down Upon The Black Earth

    ...... many foul things occurred around him. .
  19. Also https://books.google.com.au/books?id=szjtBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT15&lpg=PT15&dq=hierarchy+of+beings+Swedenborg&source=bl&ots=QU7oYOaBYs&sig=ACfU3U3104DtmjJfjHO7tkkX1RZtzTbXFA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiN3LvF6ZbgAhUMEnIKHdgAAToQ6AEwCXoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=hierarchy of beings Swedenborg&f=false and of course http://www.theisticpsychology.org/books/w.vandusen/presence_spirits.htm [ extract - CONCLUSION The similarity between Swedenborg's findings and what hallucinated patients reveal is striking. It is even more so when one considers my own findings were established years before I really examined Swedenborg's position in this matter. It seems remarkable to me that, over two centuries of time, men of very different cultures working under entirely different circumstances on quite different people could come to such similar findings. Moreover Swedenborg's exploration makes sense out of details which are otherwise strange and incongruous. I tried to find some discrepancy from his writings but could not. I'm inclined to feel that Swedenborg and I are dealing with the same phenomenon. ]
  20. I know ... I know ! Now you are gong to ask me who controls the Kings . YHVH Next, I suppose you will ask who controlls Him ? - no one , that;s why he acts the way he does in the Old testament
  21. The KINGS of course ! By the Lord of the Flame and the Lightning, the King of the Spirits of Fire By the Lord of the Waves and the Waters, the King of the Hosts of the Sea, The fairest of all of whose daughters was mother to me; By the Lord of the Winds and the Breezes, the King of the Spirits of Air, In whose bosom the infinite ease is that cradled me there; By the Lord of the Fields and the Mountains, the King of the Spirits of Earth That nurtured my life at his fountains from the hour of my birth;
