  1. The origin of mankind

    OH ... Mr Fancy Pants, high technology ! I just get charcoal from the fire and draw on the wall with it.
  2. The origin of mankind

    I think she means putting on makeup to get a colour around your eyes Could not the colours in the cartridge mix it for printing ? Not that I know how those things work.
  3. The origin of mankind

    Especially when writing in a wild style of fractured and scintillating chromaticism that fractures through, like a electromagnetic vajra of light, into the realms of the chronosynclastic infundibula .
  4. I think that was the basic context of my first post to BD <thinks> Hmmmm ..... or maybe it was trashing him for believing in ' The Secret ' .... But yes, it is a case of the journey to individuation.
  5. Yeah, stash some stuff somewhere if you can. One can make some exceptions ; once camped in the middle of SA in a camp ground on my way to the west coast I met two young ladies doing the same thing. I invited them to my fire to dinner . I had a four candle brass candlestick that folded out and screwed together, 4 fit inside each other ornamental wine glasses and a bottle of wine in the side pocket of pack. We had a lovely shared candlelight dinner Not that I am suggesting you carry a candelabra on your pushbike ...... just be innovative
  6. Man .... when I was younger, I must have done that 5 or 6 times . Dont worry DB it comes back and sticks to you like a magnet ( accumulated stuff I mean ) . Once, my back pack looked ridiculous ; all this stuff attached to and tied on it, plus another bag. I stopped in for a weeks visit to the family home. Mother was very upset looking at it ; 'That;s everything you own in the world ! " Me; "yeah, crazy isnt it, I gotta get rid of a lot of that stuff." 'What happened to all those things you used to have ?" "Gave 'em away, or lost them ." < Shakes her head in disdain and worry over me .......... years later when I got given my land share, and virtually given my house and more recently given a car , her head is shaking in superstition .... how can you get all these things for nothing ? Something isnt right here ." (Oh well, cant teach an old dog new tricks ! I had an early life of my family telling me what I claimed I was going to do was impossible ... HA! Now I am doing it, they cant seem to remember what I said I was going to do back then ! ) Dont let people ..... Still, wandered here and there, stayed at some amazing places, met lots of nice people, and ended up with my own little patch of 'Eden'. The 'stuff ' still magnetically attaches to me, I am overdue due for my biannual throwout (which is good as I have a friend moving in to an empty house - I realise I have a lounge, bed base, table and 2 sets of draws I dont need !
  7. Evangelical self defence

    I saw a western guy taking full hits to the nuts. A doctor examined them later - they were not real nuts - anymore. The 'training' , constant hitting and straining , had changed them into these calcified mutated lumps with no working nerves. Ummm ...... did no one ever think to just .... One of those and steel capped moccasins makes for a 'safe' night out
  8. DB it sounds like you have done all you can ... and that is all you CAN do . There will come a time when you just have to actually do it. Its up to them now ... and everyone else. Sometimes, once the support is gone, others manifest or those left around help more . I mean, why should they bother ..... you have been there and doing it all so far, there has not been a void to fill for them.
  9. Why do people fall in love?

    When you are in love , you dont care who hears you singing, walking down the street .... Why do birds .... fall dead from the sky .. everytime ... you walk by ... i .... i Just like me .... they long to be .... close to you ... laaaa ... la la la laaar ... close to you .... (I might have got some words mixed up there )
  10. The origin of mankind

    Here are your stars for today You set your sights too high, it's time to lower them in order to find true love. Be aware that marrying your own pets is not allowed in most countries. Sweet, sticky, orange stuff. Possibly marmalade or an orange lolly. We're not quite sure what it is, or what it has to do with you today...but it definitely features. If you don't like orange - don't panic! It might taste like something completely different, like sausages. Or beans. Yes, it could be beans.

  11. The origin of mankind

    Eris ! Well, that explains it !
  12. The origin of mankind

    Ha! Excellent Karl ! If you know the joke ... very funny ! If not ..... well ... ummmm ..... errrm ( Often when people say they have no belief in astrology, the astrologist will comment "Oh ? You must be a Taurus. " . )
  13. The origin of mankind

    Thanks < puts in clutch, puts brain into pondering gear .... > 1. Seems to relate to 'spirit' or 'type of person' as what makes us different as we all do that to an extend, express a 'certain part' ( or range ) of human nature or traits. No dynamic or cause is offered so that leads me back to a vague and general idea about 'spirit' or 'essential nature' . 2. If this isnt the same as 2. It must mean the chart as a whole is expressed differently. Interesting .... perhaps like two people getting a variant reading from the same tarot layout ? 3. An answer I have heard before ; the few minutes between the twins births creates a difference The ASC is usually cited. 4. Thats the same as 3 isnt it ? 5. Is the same as 3. 6. Ditto 7. Free will to choose out of a range of options when they are little babies ? Not sure if will is the dynamic here ?
  14. The origin of mankind

    yeah .... but 'the other one' who tells you that gets confused easily
  15. The Garden of Eden

    I remember watching a dodo on some Arctic explorer. He went to live with some group of Eskimo or Inuit (or whoever) to learn survival skills in case his crew got in trouble (smart move learning off the locals ). You would think a European would be safe from 'nude shame' up there ? Things went well until bed time ; the men stripped naked, covered themselves with oil inside a big igloo and all got into bed together. The European ? "OHHH! No no no, I will be OK over here in the corner ." "No you won't, you will freeze to death, come over here and get in with us, " Nope, he spent the night huddled in the corner hovering in and out of hypothermia . If he had translated those 'skills' to his crew if they got stranded, he would have been responsible for killing them. At least they would have gone out with ' moral dignity' intact !
  16. Evangelical self defence

    That Kempo is a little 'overdone' isnt it ? Keep it simple with one or two techniques .... like this guy ;
  17. Evangelical self defence

    Can the guy in post 4 please do that to the guy in post 5
  18. The origin of mankind

    Well, there is one difference ! She gets bossy and he complies
  19. The origin of mankind

    ... Oh yeah, and when you do , maybe have a shot at answering my question; how come twins, born with the same astro chart and bought up the same in the same and environment turn out to be very different people in personality and career, life style, etc. ? How does astrology explain that ?
  20. The origin of mankind

    Then stop smoking so much ! And stop watching so much Star Trek. Give yourself 3 days to dry out and I will try to explain the simple points again .... if you can still remember to ask again in 3 days
  21. The Garden of Eden

    No apples ... never had any in the first place. So no probs. And its still there ! Apples, nudity shame, and all that other weird Biblical stuff, that comes from Europe . Garden of Eden was different down here ! Snakes were not a problem . Everything worked pretty well, for 10s of 1000s of years ..... then, in this version of the story, the 'tempter' with the ' forbidden' fruit arrived (not a snake ) ;
  22. Dao Bum

    I would not think you as the type of guy that would do that !
