    because too much mind, not enough feeling !

    use both hands ! and a ball does not have sides ! It has a surface !

    "Pick up a ball in your hand and grasp it ... feeling it all round, both the side you can see and the side you cannot see . Sense it with your feeling . Now meld your sense of touch to your sight , Work on that .. Also hold the ball up in front of you, now go look at yourself and the far side of the ball in a mirror. This is also true of a flat disc ... hold it up and look at it , can you see the other side ? Turn it flat, now its a long very thin rectangle."

    That's true ..... a 'reminder' from the heart about too much caffeine ;

    So its back again, huh ? Pick up a ball in your hand and grasp it ... feeling it all round, both the side you can see and the side you cannot see . Sense it with your feeling . Now meld your sense of touch to your sight , Work on that .. Also hold the ball up in front of you, now go look at yourself and the far side of the ball in a mirror. This is also true of a flat disc ... hold it up and look at it , can you see the other side ? Turn it flat, now its a long very thin rectangle . Where did the round shape go ? Well during (my) last night I slept for a lot of it . Now its starting to get light . I imagine soon it is your turn to go dark.
  10. I doubt he will be answering you . I was going to offer something but I see this refers to 'Taoist spirits' ... not my field .
  11. II From Proto-Italic *krēskō, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱreh₁- (“to grow, become bigger”). I increase, rise, grow, thrive; multiply, augment. I come to be. I become visible, spring from, arise, come forth

    I think it was Patrick Harpur ? that said the modern male archetype is Faust . I agree ! He likened the times and religion Faust was embroiled in to our 'old consciousness' ( pre dualistic / 'scientific revolution ), and Fausts dabbling in magic and forces he didn't really comprehend to our dabbling in science and technology , energy production, etc A man caught between two worlds , often ignorant of what he is invoking . " "Faust" and the adjective "Faustian" imply a situation in which an ambitious person surrenders moral integrity in order to achieve power and success for a delimited term " - Wiki . Now, I cant help wondering if the outcome, in this regard, will it be according to Marlowe or Goethe ? ( and note how Goethe's Faust is 'redeemed' )
  13. Sifu Steven Burton and Dim Mak

    That's the issue ! He goes trough one guy per video ! Note how he said the first guy had been " struck there a few times and is quite sensitive there now " . That's what happens with a ' demo partner' . Hopefully, some enraged person in a street fight reacts the same way . ( Don't seem to work in MMA comp though . ) But regarding the 'poor guy' ... been there done that ; went with instructor to another school to show their instructor some stuff ( at his request ) and my instructor is showing him all this stuff on me . But then the other one would go ' Oh ! I see, we do it like this .... " and do that to me , and mine would go ' and we do this ... this ... and this ... followed with a take down and this ... " and the other would go " Interesting, I would do this ... and this ..... " and on and on it went ... " ( Don't worry .... I eventually ' got even ' with both of them )

    Yours might be ... mine I can still hose scrub hose-rinse and the water all drains out the gap between the floor and wall on the north side even over the bumps and dips in the middle .
  15. sacred masculine

    Ha! Unless you have no dreams - or do not remember them ! Your more likely to be spending time with 'your unresolved self' when you asleep and dreaming . I see you have never done a stint of ' night duty ' ?
  16. Archaic Consciousness

    Thing is though. If you spend time with 'archaic people' like San Bushmen or Australian Aboriginals ... its not at all like this video says . I'd recommend the experience . You would learn a lot about 'archaic consciousness' Even just reading 'Uncle Bill's ' book , you would learn more about it than from that vid .
  17. Maybe this one, then ? Here is one about a good 'swordsman' (uses a 'stick' instead - but I won't say why and spoil the end in case you want to watch it ). ' Twilight' his associates called him .... imagining he was fading out ... until word about this got out .
  18. sacred masculine

    Interesting how this tread subtly changed from sacred masculine to divine masculine and then got criticised re the 'divine aspect of masculinity ' .
  19. If you haven't seen it its worth a watch Its Tatsuya Nakadai 'Sword of Doom ' " Evil mind - evil sword " ..... Here ... he meets his match (Mifune) ..... lesson .... don't ambush the wrong guy !
  20. Marble Gardens & Fish Ponds

    More unusual stuff happening in my garden ; My green pitcher plants died during winter so I cut them back to the moss level ( they in a 'peat bog' pot ) . This spring they shot back up, looking very healthy but this weird stalk came up in them. Is it a flower stalk or an invader, It was hanging down with a ball on the end. then started to open this morning .... an intricate spiralling unfolding, but there is a type of ball underneath. I checked it on sunset and it looked shredded, Thinking insect attack, I googled some pics .... yep a flower ... but a strange one ! Here is the bud coming up with a higher one starting to open. Here is the 'shredded ' stage Didn't make much sense until I found this pic of a cross-section ; 'Open the pod bay doors Hal' . Hope I get fruit and seed .
