Ha ! I didnt 'get over it' because you played out a circus of ridiculous excuses. ! Its quite phenomenal how you twist things - thinking it then comes to your advantage . Again, I see why others here have choose to ignore you . Maybe you consider that a 'win' on your part ? .

Oh really ? Geee ... I wonder how all this this started ?

and you should also have said " Oxygen is an INGEDIENT of Qi " ........ waiting ....

I object ! My flag has been left out !

can I have some of those ... I deserved em !

Oooo ... he 'owned it ' . 'from now on ' (actually, 'got busted' and 'changed his mind on that '

The arrow should be yellow ! I feel very upset that it isnt yellow and I thuink I should be respected and heard ... OTHERWISE I ( or anyone else ) could be offended .. so change it NOW ! .... to avoid prosecution . I know this is hard to believe but a bill is before state parliament in Queensland that says if you write or say something that offends someone , and even if they are not offended , but another is ... eg ; "You got stupid blue hair ! " Blue hair guy might laugh ... he might even have done it to look stupid , but another blue haired person might be offended its up to a 5 year jail term . yeah , 'wokeism' gone crazy .... I think this started from legislation about on-line bullying .

Well... gotta keep chi dragon happy !

Oh ... so what was that flurry of downvotes you made on my posts about, just after I made a point you could not address ? It has become apparent that you are not capable of following or forming an intelligent and reasonable conversation and or debate . Its been enlightening though , now I know why so many people have had issue with you and you got banned so many times . or did you mean you have no intention to use the NEW one (as its balanced and not 'angry red' anymore ) ?

IMO because Christian belief is required as its so irrational and illogical , whereas Buddhism is sensible , rational and logical, no need for Buddhists to opt out by declaring " Well, in answer to your question ... Buddha moves in mysterious ways, just believe , my Son ... believe ... and remember , logic and rationale are tools of the Devil ! " I have actually been told the bolded bit while trying to debate with a Christian co-worker (of course Buddha was replaced by God )... he got stumped by a few of my questions and went to his pastor and this was the response he was instructed to give me . I have had very reasonable and enlightening discussions with Buddhists monks and lamas . ... and I am sorry ,... but they seem a lot better educated as well .

No Man .... I'll be saying right away from your butt

What a cool auntie ! have you ever watched 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople ?" One of those great NZ films . I like this part ; Naughty 'tough' juvenile (you know how they are ! ) gets busted , goes into 'care' and gets billeted out to a family ... he is SOOO unimpressed and bored with country life, its soooo lame and unawesome until 'new mum' gives him a 'present' a HUGE deadly looking hunting knife ... AWESOME ! this is more like it ! "You will need that ." New Mum tells him . Then , even better ... he learns to shoot ! ... but is he ready for country life ?

Thanks for the explanation . Sounds bad . If your beliefs help you ... good for you ! Back in the 80s when I was with the Baha'is they where trying to explain to a couple ( that had asked about it ) why "if there is a God he allows such bad suffering "? They where not impressed ; an elderly couple ... I sensed something and interrupted " I think you might have a very good reason for asking that question ... have you been exposed to bad suffering and pain ?" She looked at him and he nodded , then she lifted up her sleeve cuff and showed us her tattooed concentration camp number inside her wrist . That shut them up .... sometimes we need to understand others experiences to understand them better ... and not feed them platitudes ! If I dare ... ..... you're cute . There was a lot in there , what do you want me to address first ?

Thde Indian flag and the persian flag would have color associations within THEIR system .. there isnt just one system ... I was working with the hermetic system . Eg modern jewelers will tell you what stone suits your by your birthdate , but that will be different to the system that says , for example , if you are a Cancer your gem is moonstone or pearl . One is the 'jewelers' system , it probably originated from the other , and then shanged , but now its different . The red on the Aboriginal flag is for red earth ... the earth . But other symbols might include blood , courage, life vigor, etc . Thats why , for example I had to learn a LOT of kabbalah and many of these associations . By the time you get to a higher degree of teaching ( eg 4th deg ) the 'knowledge lectures' (latter part of initiation ceremony ) are so 'packed' you would not have a chance of comprehension without this 'condensed language ' . Think of trying to explain carpentry without the names of tools or an understanding of process . When the speaker uses a term , its equivalence across a whole range of things comes to mind and expands meaning , as well as focuses it . Generally it consisted of about 14 ranges and 33 comparisons ... so near 500 associations to learn ( there is a trick to it ) The tables appear in the reference I gave to 777 ... and no , no heroin is required ( . It also helps to develop a mind that can work on a few levels at the same time ... quick ( snaps fingers ) ... a Mercurial trait . So really, no symbolism is valid across the board ... it has to drilled in to make the associations . There are some exceptions .... I used to do that with teaching year 10 ... Put up a big bit of white paper across the board and splat red paint on it ... and the kids go " Errrrr ... arrrgh .... Oh! " take it down and put up another and run a big brush with watery dripping blue and they; " Ahhhhhhhhhhh ... " Me (to them ) "What just happened " ? .

Finally brilliant ? ? ?

" STAY INSIDE THIS HOLY REALITY "

Thats why I was going with YOUR meaning . That was not my meaning , I was going along with the translation (even though I dont agree with it ) both you and Cobie seemed to be claiming . I find in one set of circumstances , Taomeow's explanations more enlightening and in other set of circumstances my own interpretation is more enlightening , but any should be able to confirm with their own internal system and logic . I found your 'explanations' disingenuous , all the way through ; duck, weave, excuse, red herrings, etc . Thats easily detectable, regardless of any subject matter . Anyway, I hope you feel better about the new downvote symbol . I haven't checked if all the old back dated ones changed as well , bummer , that means all the red ones you back gave me in a flurry , after a certain observation I made about your 'argument ' , have turned 'placid' .

For their own good ! - ironic wasn't it ?

and rather an exercise in avoiding answering the CONTEXTUAL point . or is it a deliberate 'misunderstanding' ?

THE contextual point .

nah ... its rotating and also moving along the path of the wheel rim , if the wheel ...... grounded Hmmm .. depending on what you call 'torture' , that might be valid . You used the term before in a way I didnt like .... I ignored it . My reaction was ' What would HE know about it ! " I think this as I have worked with refugee ex-torture victims .... in one case a woman showed me the missing parts of her body, little bits they cut off or out each day ..... . I hope you never experienced anything like that . But I also hope you dont use the term in an unwarranted fashion .
