Thank God for that ! I thought you where going to harass the whole board with making thread after thread of the same topic because a mod shut the first one down . You certainly will not stand for that will you ! (just like you will make the same post after post focusing on one person, your latest target - usually someone that has infuriated your desire not to be 'thwarted' in your 'mission' ) . A holiday for you is a GREAT idea . I hope it helps .

Common motifs, symbols, beliefs etc. across cultures
Nungali replied to Sir Darius the Clairvoyent's topic in General Discussion
The Pleiades seems a good example ; They have been known since antiquity to cultures all around the world,[28] including the Celts (Welsh: Tŵr Tewdws, Irish: Streoillín); pre-colonial Filipinos (who called it Mapúlon, Mulo‑pulo or Muró‑púro, among other names), for whom it indicated the beginning of the year;[29][30]Hawaiians (who call them Makaliʻi),[31]Māori (who call them Matariki); Indigenous Australians (from several traditions); the Achaemenid Empire, whence in Persians (who called them Parvīn – پروین – or Parvī – پروی);[32] the Arabs (who call them al-Thurayyā; الثريا[33]); the Chinese (who called them mǎo; 昴); the Quechua (who call them Qullqa or the storehouse); the Japanese (who call them Subaru; 昴, スバル); the Maya; the Aztec; the Sioux; the Kiowa;[34][35] and the Cherokee. In Hinduism, the Pleiades are known as Kṛttikā and are scripturally associated with the war deity Kartikeya and are also identified or associated with the Saptamatrika(s) (Seven Mothers). Hindus celebrate the first day (new moon) of the month of Kartik as Diwali, a festival of abundance and lamps. [citation needed] The Pleiades are also mentioned three times in the Bible.[36][37] Galileo's drawings of the Pleiades star cluster from Sidereus Nuncius The earliest known depiction of the Pleiades is likely a Northern German Bronze Age artifact known as the Nebra sky disk, dated to approximately 1600 BC.[38] The Babylonian star catalogues name the Pleiades MULMUL (𒀯𒀯), meaning "stars" (literally "star star"), and they head the list of stars along the ecliptic, reflecting the fact that they were close to the point of the vernal equinox around the twenty-third century BC. The Ancient Egyptians may have used the names "Followers" and "Ennead" in the prognosis texts of the Calendar of Lucky and Unlucky Days of papyrus Cairo 86637.[39] Some Greek astronomers considered them to be a distinct constellation, and they are mentioned by Hesiod's Works and Days,[40]Homer's Iliad and Odyssey,[41] and the Geoponica.[42] The Pleiades was the most well-known "star" among pre-Islamic Arabs and so often referred to simply as "the Star" (an-Najm; النجم).[43] Some scholars of Islam suggested that the Pleiades are the "star" mentioned in Surah An-Najm ("The Star") in the Quran.[44] On numerous cylinder seals from the beginning of the first millennium BC, M45 is represented by seven points, while the Seven Gods appear, on low-reliefs of Neo-Assyrian royal palaces, wearing long open robes and large cylindrical headdresses surmounted by short feathers and adorned with three frontal rows of horns and a crown of feathers, while carrying both an ax and a knife, as well as a bow and a quiver.[45] As noted by scholar Stith Thompson, the constellation was "nearly always imagined" as a group of seven sisters, and their myths explain why there are only six.[46] Some scientists suggest that these may come from observations back when Pleione was farther from Atlas and more visible as a separate star as far back as 100,000 BC.[47] " VERY curious because several Australian Aboriginal cultures hold the same story " The Star Dreaming story of the Seven Sisters is one of the most widely distributed ancient stories amongst Aboriginal Australia. The songline for this story covers more than half the width of the continent, from deep in the Central Desert out to the west coast. The songline travels through many different language groups and different sections of the narrative are recognised in different parts of the country. The story relates to the journey of the seven sisters that make up the star cluster known as the Pleiades, in the constellation Taurus. Mythological stories of the Pleiades also cross many other cultures outside Australia – the story also appears in ancient Greek mythology. Observed from central Australia, the Pleiades star group rises above the horizon soon after sunset and keeps a low trajectory above the horizon. Perhaps for this reason this relatively small star cluster takes on extra importance, as it appears to launch from the earth’s surface and make its journey in close proximity to the land.

5. And the infant grew strong; yet its strength was in its weakness; and though to look at it from before was to look upon a man-child, from behind it was a little girl with golden hair. Now, when the child wished to tempt a maid he faced and approached her; and when the child wished to tempt a man she turned her back on him and fled. 4. But one day the child met, at the self-same hour, Love; and the man, seeing a woman, approached her eagerly, and the woman, seeing a man, fled, so that he might capture her. Thus it came about that the child met the child and wondered, not knowing that the child had lost the child. So it was that they walked side by side. 3. Then that part of the child that was man loved and lusted for that part of the child that was woman; and each knew not that each was the other, and felt that they were two and yet one, nevertheless one and yet two. And when one said: “Who art thou?” the other answered at the self-same moment: “Who am I?” 2. Soon becoming perplexed if I were Thou, or if Thou were I, it came about that the I mingled with the Thou, and the Thou with the I, so that six added to ten became sixteen, which is felicity; for it is the interplay of the elements. Four are the elements that make man, and four are the elements that make woman. Thus was the child reborn. 1. But though the man ruleth the woman, and the woman ruleth the man, the Child ruleth both its mother and father, and being five is Emperor over the kingdom of their hearts. To its father it giveth four, and to its mother it giveth four, yet it remaineth five, for it hath of its father an half and of its mother an half; but in itself it is equal to both its father and its mother; for it is father of fathers and mother of mothers. 0. Therefore is it One Whole, and not two halves; and being One is Thirteen, which is called Nothing when it is All-things. - by General J.F.C. Fuller -
No, I am not 'on ignore' for them . You cant tell new or non member guests to ignore me . I am on ignore only to you and not to them . I am VERY happy with the arrangement .

Whats that ? A reference from another forum ... do you know why that does not matter Daniel ? Because Mathew 7 :15.

Of course I do . I know why I am here as a human generally , as an individual incarnation and why I am here right at this moment and why I am doing what I am doing . And I know why I will be doing what I will be doing later today . Why do you ask ? Are you having some personal difficulty with that ? Have you recovered from yesterday's melt down yet ?

Is there a "safe" way to contact spirit of recently departed
Nungali replied to dontknwmucboutanythng's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
As long as you dont know it is true , otherwise it could be just your own memories reflected or being used . Ideally , they would tell you something you did not know , about themselves perhaps ,and after that when you checked and found out it was true .... well, then you would have to find an explanation for that one . One can find such alternative explanations, but often they are more fantastical or equally as 'paranormal' as the idea of contact with the departed was in the first place . -
How to deal with the harassment of a Ghost?
Nungali replied to Ascetic's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
Okay, first off I am not denying your experience . But how do you tell the difference between a 'demonic interference' within yourself and an 'evil ghost' interference within yourself ? And I am wondering if this other practice (I linked to in your thread ) is related to 'Liber Jugorum' ... that has a pretty bad rap , although the essential of the practice (aside from the 'self harm' aspect ) are valid .... some have used a tight rubber band on the wrist and snap it to cause a little pain . [ Its a very potent method , if one is careful with it , example ; One of my martial arts instructors didnt like my sword posture and kept complaining about my elbow sticking out and said it would be a target . I kept doing it habitually and could not stop it and I got sick of him complaining about it so I " Well, just DO IT then then and stop talking about it ! " Eventually he did , whacked the outer elbow bone a 'beauty' (wooden sword ) ... Jeee-suz ! That hurt , for some time . But it instantly cured the bad habit .... reprogrammed . Beyond that I dont recommend 'self harm ' it 'opens other doorways' . ] -
Its not in Gilgamesh its in the Epic of Atra-Hasis . People where too noisy and it annoyed the Gods so ...... flood .

Zarathustra / Zaradhust / 'Zoroaster probably didnt know about it . At his time it seems they people of that area ( South central Asia ) didnt seem to know much of Mesopotamia . It wasnt until after the close of the Avestan canon , the collapse of their society , a migration north then west into the Zagros mountains then a south emergence into the coastal plain SE of the Mesopotamian delta , where the Assyrians identified them as 'Parsua' (later Persians ) emerging from the Zargos and joining in with the groups there like Elamites to fight against the Assyrian oppression in their lands . But still ... Not floods in the Avesta but " A great cold is coming " , they where told the snow would be to a great depth and it would go for a long time . They had to build, not an ark against floods ' but a new type of shelter dug into the earth partially and take the livestock in there with feed and food storage ( the animals sharing and generating warmth ) . This 'cold snap ' seems to equate to something like the 'younger dryas' era or when a couple of centuries back people where ice skating on The Thames in the 'big freeze' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas https://www.chr.org.uk/anddidthosefeet/february-12th-1895-the-great-freeze/

This is the typical issue . It will only 'go circular' ., and then into 'certain reactive areas ' . Thats why I offered some assistance via PM to the OP , and thats where our conversation went. - However Daniel now reports to us that he has Sir Darius on ignore , so Sir Darius may feel to return to this . . -
Ohh ! I'm sorry . Did you miss them ? I am getting 'neglectful' of my 'fans' lately .

I think that is only in 'schemata' or postulation ; the second I liken to the idea of the infinite (because its ) curved Universe , if you could see far enough , you would be looking at the back of your head . The second is like bending the wave length of light band ('observed reality' ) and joining the ends ( schemata ) by filling the gap with 'purple '
