  1. Yoga in Christianity

    We have to remember , not only was Jesus Jewish ..... he had a Jewish mother
  2. PS .... and why are you 'emaciated' ... thats not good .... Daniel ! ... Get this guy some chicken soup !
  3. First you would have to explain to us what you mean by 'soul' it a VERY general amnd boad term . For example , that mantra is probably lodged in your unconscious by now, at least in the 'sub-conscious' ... some might think that is their soul ( I mean, they would not say , if they thought that ;" Oh yes, it is my subconscious ." But if they described what they thought was their soul, another might rightly observe ; ": Oh no, that is your subconscious . " So, there is that . There is also the issue that your meaning of soul is 'valid' , then soul might not be the best thing to labor or restrict with such a task ... we have 'servitors' for that ... to manage things that we have refined (hopefully ) that we dont have to focus our 'attentive aware' parts of psyche on . I am also curious about what the term 'horribly productive ' means ? Sounds .... 'challenging' .

    When that concept is used in 'research' its called 'fishing for a specific' , a very different form of research .... the 'other type' does not put the answer first and then seek any reference that might support it .... it looks at information and facts first and then makes conclusions . On my history forum ,putting a solution first and then searching for a 'back up' can actually get you modded or suspended for such an invalid and biased approach to research ... but this aint no history forum ... so I am going to quote Mathew 7 : 7 at you now ....
  5. Yoga in Christianity

    That is similar to another symbolic meaning ; 'Grace descending and aspiration rising - the active and the receptive . One rises and the other descends to join it . The descending triangle is a water symbol , and that grace descending can be likened to baptism (or lustration ) . The ascending triangle is a fire symbol and represents the force of aspiration , it's 'burning ambition. It can also represent higher and lower aspects of the self ; When fire and water come together it creates 'air' ( gas ) ; a powerful force potentially but if not contained, nothing but 'mist' , when contained and directed ; very powerful . That is obvious when we look at a physical process like steam . But here I am looking at it as 'air ' the 'other element ' ( other than the fire and water symbols in the hexagram ) ... 'higher' air ... that is, 'pneuma' = spirit , life , etc . The fourth element missing ; earth ? Thats the effect this conjoining brings .
  6. Christianity

    The problem with this is Cadcam seems to be referring to Christianity while you are referring to Christ AND linking that to supporting Christianity .... if you know what I mean .
  7. Stranger things

    Prices go up and wages go up so people can afford the higher prices ...,. dammit ! Prices are supposed to go up to make more money for those 'doing it tuff' at the top . Its gotten so damn strange ..... $75 for a steak ! Mate at work used to have a good idea ; " Let's go to the butcher and get a couple of steaks and go down the park and BBQ them ( .... and pocket the extra 60 bucks ! ) I cant fathom how people afford to eat out anymore and how these places stay open .... by raising prices , underpaying workers and making the food worse I suppose . Here is another strange thing, ; in my garden it is pretty simple to grow extra ; if I get a punnet of seedlings (or use 'self sprouted', from previous crops seed drop ) say, tomato or coriander I am going to have more plants and produce than I can use myself , some might go to trade but there will be surplus . I have taken good organic produce to local store and offered it VERY cheap or for free . I explain to them , you can sell it for half the market price and still make 'all profit' on it, its great for you and locals get cheap food . They say great and thanks and the next day I see it on the shelf with the current market price on it ... even when they get free produce !
  8. Yoga in Christianity

    Well, there is something in common you have with Christianity ; 'Hide contents of pubic region '
  9. An odd synchronicity

    Can you explain what 'unlocking an archetype ' means ?
  10. An odd synchronicity

    There is a way of knowing .
  11. An odd synchronicity

    Eh ? Are you saying Shackleton's phenomena got the term third man as someone else wrote some thing else 'inspired' by it , using a third man , while quoting Shackleton as saying it was a forth man ? The inspiration seems confused ; the counting is 'you and I together' but when looking up the road , the other is not together with the observer , but up ahead with another ? Eh ? Maybe been out in the snow too long ?
  12. Yoga in Christianity

    I agree . 'Magic' is the technology of religion, attributed to 'miracles' . Under the 'proper authority ' it might be permissible and you could end up a saint (if you tow the correct religious political line ) ... practice it by yourself ? Well then, magic is work of the devil .... and so are you . The rituals of religion got adopted from magicians / shamans .
  13. An odd synchronicity

    Liked it but I feel its a bit vague and 'new agey' . We could do equally simple by using the simplistic term 'guardian angel ' ; a higher part of our psychic anatomy that we are endowed with , that mostly works in the 'other world' but at times 'breaks through' in one form or another .
  14. An odd synchronicity

    Was he ? Are you sure about that . A neighbor was equally sure of his father's physical presence , as his father physically helped him out of his car upside down in the river , and up on to the bridge where they sat . neighbor was contemplating the near 'close call' as he was at one stage stuck in the car underwater .... just as well dad turned up ... actually, how did dad turn up right then n... actually .... dad died last year ! he turned to look and realized he was sitting alone on the bridge . However I realize these stories mean nothing .... until it happens to you .
  15. An odd synchronicity

    I always wonder why Shackleton's phenomena was termed that ? "during that long and racking march of thirty-six hours over the unnamed mountains and glaciers of South Georgia, it seemed to me often that we were four, not three."[ Should be 'the other man phenomena ' ; sometimes it 2 not one or 3 not 2 .
  16. An odd synchronicity

    Which ancient site ? maybe it still has 'power' ?
  17. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    Hmmm .... close to 'indigenous pidgin ' if you take the ' ly' off ; ' careful - fall down !' - be careful or you will fall down . Sign should say 'Dont bang ed ' I did that a while back ; carrying something down the back garden , tripped on the hose , realized I was about to go for a face plant and my aikido training kicked in ( I stopped practicing it ages ago ) , I tucked in and let it happened and rolled out of it , I had no idea I was still capable ... a careful falling down

    regarding Christians 'levitating' or flying , I am reminded of the most famous perhaps , and they didnt even start the flying .... Simon Magus started it and a jealous Christian knocked him out the sky - since people often dont know what I am talking about ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Magus In apocryphal works including the Acts of Peter, Pseudo-Clementines, and the Epistle of the Apostles, Simon also appears as a formidable sorcerer with the ability to levitate and fly at will. The apocryphal Acts of Peter gives a more elaborate tale of Simon Magus' death. Simon is performing magic in the Forum, and, in order to prove himself to be a god, he levitates into the air above the Forum. The apostle Peter prays to God to stop his flying, and he stops mid-air and falls into a place called "the Sacra Via" (meaning "Holy Way" in Latin), breaking his legs "in three parts
  19. Yoga in Christianity

    Of course it cant be like that , as he would be a Christian . This is the early version of the 'Jesus as Avatar ' , which 'makes' other avatars 'Christs' , hence equal in their mission and manifestation . Its a form of progressive revelation ; think , one profit after another , all valid but for different times . or in Baha'i progressive revelation ; all religions . Each of their 'founders' is a prophet , NO ONE IS GOD . The Baha's have an identifying ring seal which shows these 'three planes of existence' in religion . ; God , The Prophets, the People - joined together .
  20. Yoga in Christianity

    It appears to have come from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holy_Science And probably started after he got enrolled at a Christian missionary collage .
  21. Stranger things

    The luminaphone turns beams of light into music, with 37 possible notes on its keyboard. When you strike a note, it releases a light beam from a projector. The beam then passes through a perforation in a revolving disk, hitting a selenium cell, which changes the light into an electrical vibration. A tube amplifier magnifies the vibrations and emits the sound through a loudspeaker, turning the flickering lights into a beautiful song.
  22. Yoga in Christianity

    Well, he did want to preach the 'complete harmony' and basic oneness of 'original * Christianity ' and 'original yoga' . So it is not surprising he would 'massage' some Christian beliefs and stories so as to make things similar . * one wonders what his sources where that lead to his concept of original Christianity , or is it a retro fit construct to make it look like some type of Yoga .
