" We are sick, hungry, and you stole our land ! " " Shhhhh ...... forgiveness ! " or this classic one ; " Dont worry, after you die and go to heaven you will get justice ..... in the meantime , learn to love your oppressors ." This was one of my fav subjects in Comparative Religion ; " Here you go 'peasants', Jesus wants you to have these ." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_theology

Of course folks .... it never entered his mind that it could have been aimed at him .

Actually, that quote and terms where so familiar to me that they passed by as not unusual ! Now I have lost track of your previous ID ... we may have talked about this before . KV is a hero of mine , he was also a cultural anthropologist, like me. So I can see the source and value of what he wrote , in MANY instances . have you read 'Lonesome no More ' ( 'Slapstick' ) ? I love the themes in it regarding 'name changes ' (or in the case of the book ) : " The siblings created, among other things, a plan to end loneliness in America through vast extended families. Under the plan, all citizens would be provided with new middle names, made of the name of a random natural object paired with a random number between 1 and 20. Everyone with the same name would be cousins, and everyone with the same name and number would be siblings. " It links and heals people in a certain way . This is something that seems to have been lost from modern civilization . I have noticed it here in indigenous studies with moiety and clans etc . people from far away with nothing in common , strangers, can meet and " What's your totem ?" " Sea- eagle " " Really ! I am a sea-eagle too ! " " Brother ! " " Brother ! ... or it could be 'Cousin ! " or Cuz .... Maori's have a good term " Cuzzy-bro " Like in Vonnegut's example , it can create bonds across barriers .

Dont I know that one ! I have a very good friend ( used to GF years back ) I remember one occasion, all these people where supposed to help me , they didnt , they just made oit worse, hung out made a mess and ate my food . She was the only one that pitched in and slogged through the work with me .... single mum with 3 boys under 4 ! The others ? Oh, they had a collection of headaches , uncomfortable s and 'in a minutes / do it later ' . I have seen that a few times . After that it got somewhat reversed and I had the 'opportunity to pay her back' ; people would stay to' help her ' , then when they left I would have to go and pick the pieces up , settle the boys, re supply the fire food they burnt up to keep themselves warm ...... Regarding that ; 'its going to be alright' . Do you think this is a modern thing ? It appears to be in astrology , the old 'born under a bad sign' seems unpop . In the old days, bad natal configuration ; Sorry , you're fucked . Better go straight to damage control Now ? Well, that is a terrible thing to say ..... I should be ashamed of myself ! here you go guys .... have a ' came first at the other end ' award .

... and dont forget

Thankyou Cobie ....... ( now you are going to be the next target ) have fun .

Cadcam ... have you been here posting on the forum before , under another name ?

Was he related to Maynard G. Krebbs ?

I dont think I have ever met any one that said ; " I dont like chakras ! " .

No, that doesnt matter , what does matter is you have been dishonest . red herring ..... nice try though No, its clear from the post on the last page exactly what you did . and its very telling you can not address that . Now we see its clear you where never going to give an answer on the thread subject , all you did was 'Daniel around ' so much everyone else left , now its time for me to go as well . Toodle-ooo . .

Is it 'worship ' ? I suppose that depends on one's definition ? It is usually defined as a practice towards deity ie. the 'God/s' . My practice has not been , its more to show acknowledgement, appreciation and thanks to ancestors, not 'Gods' . The sharing of 'offerings' is a healthy psychological practice for the individual . We have a special night for it ; 'feast of the dead ' , ' All souls day', 'Halloween ' . It is said that this time of year the veil between this world and the other ( and ancestors ) is thinnest - I can affirm that some years , this is particularly noticeable . The ritual can be as simple as as putting a plate of food out for them along with the feast you have .

But ... dont you want to find out what these New Age religions are ? We could do a comparative religion study on them . Now let's see .... what are New Age religions . hang on I will look it up ...... Oh, apparently there are not any ..... just 'movements' ... none have made it to 'religion status' yet . " New Age spirituality is very hard to pin down or categorize. There is no particular dogma, central organization, or particular leader. It's truly an amalgam of various ideas and leaders and if asked a follower would be hard pressed to name any one belief system they prescribe to. ... The new age 'religion' seems made up by mixing those percentages of the population together that believe ; 8% believe in astrology as a method of foretelling the future 7% believe that crystals are a source of healing or energizing power 9% believe that Tarot Cards are a reliable base for life decisions About 1 in 4 believe in a non-traditional concept of the nature of God which are often associated with New Age thinking: 11% believe that God is "a state of higher consciousness that a person may reach" 8% define God as "the total realization of personal, human potential" 3% believe that each person is God. " So, if you extract those people from the population, there is your 'congregation ' . There you go Cobie .... and I did all of that while carefully including nothing you could associate with a penis.

No he didnt , he asked when it appeared in the record . You then asked him 'The Jewish record ? " and went on to talk about that ..... go look at the text ... to 'refresh your memory' ... unless you are deliberately lying ? But I do understand that someone with your condition may well believe that is what happened ; " NN asked when it appeared in the Jewish record " Go have a look .... then decide if you are lying or 'conditionally delusional ' ( otherwise known as 'bad memory ' ) If what you say is accurate you could post the text right here . You state a lie, I prove you wrong, then you switch to another one and I prove that wrong too .... what will Daniel do now ?

Like my dear old Grandad said to me ; " Son, you see a hole in the ground .... dont go sticking your dick in it ! " - best advice I ever got !

It might not be . many religious people lead otherwise balanced, full and happy lives . Jung added a 4th natural 'instinct' to the 3 Freud talked about ; the religious instinct . A mental 'illness' , by definition, is something that causes adverse function ..... if that isn't there .... who cares if one talks to fairies or Gods .

No thanks ... you might 'review' it like you did regarding the 'conversation' about your claim for a 'pentagram' on Solomon's seal ring ..

Good ! You responded to him to put him straight .... now he can harass you instead Oh yeah ... a correction : You might want to change ' that turns your ' to 'you are a ' , . https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/crank .... " Nimrod " ...

Of course . I was just gracing you with some other and wider sources so can can add that to the mix from which to draw your own conclusions from . People will do what they will, and believe what they will , mostly due to their own belief systems .

Thongs ... down here we use them to help people 'get sensible '

editing my responses as a part quote ... again ! And I wasnt mocking you for saying it was Egyptian , I was pointing out two things 1. You got confused between a pentagram and a hexagram , and others noted that . 2. You got confused about a pentalpha - orogonal Jewish form ( which you wher supposed to be citing ) and the hermetic form of a pentagram . The quote means nothing out of context ... besides I already admitted I might be wrong and how Sumerian and Chinese forms might be older . I would say, your above REACTION is more like what YOU do .

Nope . You did the same thing as you are doing here and now . You put me on ignore , then posted a whole page of ignored posts to prove to everyone how you where ignoring me . Cant you see the (your ) problem there ? Then YOU took a break, you came back a bit more reasonable ... for a moment . The quickly got worse . Maybe you need more than a break ? .... suppressing it seems to have made it worse .

I am not only not denying it, I am going to use it as proof ! Not only had you confused hexagram with pentagram , now you are confusing pentagram with 'pentalpha' . Check your Jewish SOURCES - I am surprised someone like you went to an hermetic source other than the traditional Jewish source for your information regarding 'traditional Jewish stuff' ( which you claim to have some knowledge in ) 'The Testament of Solomon ' https://www.jstor.org/stable/1450398?seq=2 " the archangel Michael brings him a ring, of which the stone was engraved with a pentalpha. This ring endow its possessor with power over all demons. A pentalpha is in the form of ' 5 'A's in a star . Now, unless we are assuming it was a time traveling angel and presented a ring engraved with 'A's in English ( which would form a pentagram - the COMMON MISTAKE ) the 'A's would have been alphas , as the name so obviously suggests . I would like to see an image of these 5 alphas forming a pentagram... from traditional Jewish sources , you showed as 'proof' in your ring example a pentagram ring with names on it ... which was clearly an example of an HERMETIC misunderstanding ( and a modern 'goetic product' - which I pointed out was ; " Dude, that is hermetic !' ) of the original text . But go on ..... keep digging your way out ... by digging the hole deeper .
