  1. The rabbit on the moon

    What interests me is how some people can see a rabbit and others not . Clear as day to me . Yet I don't see a 'man ' in the Moon. I am used to the western tradition of seeing the Moon as representing the feminine . So ... 'Man in Moon ' ... ? (Australian Aboriginal ) " Go to sleep, don't you kids lie there looking at the Moon. The Moon Man will get angry and come down here with his club and stomp around ' Haa haa haa ! Who lookin' at me ? ' and bash you with his club . ..... and if you don't believe me , I take you to a place where it happened and show you the bones ! Don't stare at the Moon ! " curious that one . An even stranger one on the Sun being feminine ( An old Indian astrologer ) " Of Course the Sun is female ! If the Sun was not female , she would not be too afraid to come out at night ! " ( which could have been an old Indian astrologer pulling my leg ? )
  2. Marble Gardens & Fish Ponds

    Gardens . The spring rains have finally started and everything has picked up . A special plant I have been cultivating ( because it loves it here , I bought one 4 years ago now I probably got about a dozen ) . It dies back when its cold so I dry them out and repot the rhizome each year and any extra nodules that have grown off that . Today I tipped out the dry pot from the mother plant , it had another 9 sprouting rhizomes coming out, so I potted them up to. I am ' Elephant Ear rich ' ! This year, the other plant should be huge, going by the size of its rhizome ! Xanthosoma Albo Marginata - ' Mickey Mouse ' Elephant Ear . .... ? 'deformed mouse ear ' that would be . ... but they do draw interest and attention. I also have had success with dwarf red variegated ginger plant that looks great growing around this one's base . ... and .... the rain has just started again ... with all my potted up new babies getting it
  3. If you google pics of Denisovans ( how on earth they know what they looked like ??? ) and google pics of Neanderthals ..... ... they the same pics
  4. But what Nationality Neanderthal ? A Polish one or an Austrian one ?
  5. Ancient History Revised

    Not Houris though ! A houri is a most beautiful young woman with a transparent body. The marrow of her bones is visible like the interior lines of pearls and rubies. She looks like red wine in a white glass. She is of white color, and free from the routine physical disabilities of an ordinary woman such as menstruation, menopause, urinal and offal discharge, child bearing and the related pollution. A houri is a girl of tender age, having large breasts which are round (pointed), and not inclined to dangle. Houris dwell in palaces of splendid surroundings. — Al-Tirmidhi, Jami` at-Tirmidhi and not only that ... they will rouse on our wives if they give us a hard time ; Houris do not want wives to annoy their husbands, since the houris will also be the wives of the husbands in the afterlife. "Mu’adh bin Jobal (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'A woman does not annoy her husband but his spouse from amongst the maidens with wide eyes intensely white and deeply black will say: Do not annoy him, may Allah ruin you." He is with you as a passing guest. Very soon, he will part with you and come to us. — Ibn Majah, Sunan ibn Majah and .... [People who enter Paradise] will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be of gold, and their sweat will smell like musk. The aloes-wood will be used in their censers. Their wives will be houris. All of them will look alike and will resemble their father Adam (in stature), sixty cubits tall. — Muhammad al-Bukhari, Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 55 "Prophets", hadith 544 ! ... Spiritual Snu snu !
  6. Is he ? I will reserve my judgement until he tries to post on a subject he finds interesting and has researched and I come along and call him a Nazi , insult him and meet every post he makes with similar rubbish , large point bolded caps that take up half a page type, misquotes laughing and the whole range of crap, and have other posters come in and say how crap what I am doing is but I still hound him . and if he complains say ';suck it up' and don't give any back . I can see you doing that Marbles As you probably know , its easy to advise others to be a pacifist .
  7. Don't you mean puurrrrfect ?
  8. Disagreed with me ? wow ! If I called you a Nazi pushing white Aryan supremacy ... along with all that it implies , would you then call it a disagreement and 'suck it up' and walk away ? Maybe you would ? Or maybe I become an a - hole and start dumping similar shit on people here then expect them to act as you suggest ? ... and he did ! He got banned ..... after he continued and got worse and worse , after getting away with what he did . If he didn't end up banned, I would not feel justified in my opinion of him ! And you still telling me I should have sucked it up ... after you had to ban him . I won , he was made to leave the table, by you guys, and rightly so ... well done , eventually . The guy was an arse , end of story .
  9. "My kingdom is not of this world"

    Mmmmmm ? I think I am getting 3bob okay
  10. "My kingdom is not of this world"

    In the aboriginal shamanism I have been experiencing .... in 'the old days ( before the arrival of Europeans and 'white settlement' ) there was no 'earth heaven distinction' ... this was it . The environment was an eternal spiritual place , like the garden of Eden , with all supplied and all needs catered for. You lived in that 'spiritual' environment ... or actually , were part of it, before birth , during life and after life , moving through cycles , forms and different bodies. There were 'the heavens', of course, but they were seen as ( and actually are ) an extension of the environment .
  11. < wind up .... wind wind wind and ...... >
  12. That's nationalism not racism .
  13. Its about a lot more than a petty insult .... it was the whole undercurrent going on in that thread and who was concerned and how they responded, and how it was 'diffused' .... not .... but let's pretend it was diffused and just move ahead , eh ? Things like that carry over if not diffused properly , take Ralis' comments for example . Such issues are usually more than what is on the surface .
  14. Yep I copped that ... no modding whatsoever ... so I gave some back ... then I got modded and they tried their new 'points system ' out on me . Really guys .... really ?
  15. Hey , wait a minute ..... how do you get 'likes' for making a report , on yourself or others ? Who would know ? Or are you saying people liked you for boasting about reporting yourself later ?
  16. You report complaining about the Police Internal Integrity Commission has been received by the Police Internal Integrity Commission and will be processed as soon as we have available time and staff . .....
  17. Hey ref ! The other guy just poked me in the eye ! Ref : 'Ohh best to klet it go and just get on with things . " And Mods ask us NOT to escalate and report instead . One reading this might think ; " Well, what's the use of that then ? " - also one needs to take that post in context of the ongoing conversation it was used in .
  18. "My kingdom is not of this world"

    The saying relates to a gnostic viewpoint that our home and origin is in the 'afterlife' . This life is a fall, a mistake, an illusion, something low and dirty and material, it isn't our true home . My view is the ' contradiction' , the opposite ..... but then again I have had a good life, and a positive attitude about it . That's why we have two opposing 'spiritual sayings' on the subject - 2 different schools of thought on it ; the 'black school' which denies life and feels 'trapped' by it and the 'white school' which embraces life and celebrates it . On this level Daoism seems more like native and aboriginal spirituality , those systems that were or remained unaffected by the arrival of dualistic Gnosticism .
  19. Make weapon out of chi?

    Eg . I developed a jo / bokken drill that demonstrates this exact principle at the end move ; Jo deflects sword and suddenly unexpectedly jo other end is in swordsman face , he doesn't understand how that happened , its all to dop with the footwork and subtly changing Ma'ai of the previous 4 moves. An accomplished swords man just smiled, and 'wasn't there' when I tried it on him .... he had 'no momentary lapse of awareness' . But then again ,,, or style are supposed to be masters of ' tai sabaki ' some martial artist guy told me
