Nungali

Or did you mean the Masai ?

Congagraduations ! I like food competitions ... especially the one's with free samples ! Here, one can go to the Country Women's Association bake-off . If you go to one of their competitions , there have all these tarts there . And they will let you taste what they baked .

You just de-preoccupied the interest in the dual nature of ligjt and quantum theory !

This getting ridiculous ..... and here I was thinking this topic might actually get somewhere. Squash the continents together and Earth is the same size as Mars ? Bye-bye

Ah ... I knew the scent of old mummies would bring you out from the ceiling . The Book isnt that new. The collated findings are relatively new. The idea seems older, in that Pharaonic Civilisation was thought to have come in via the east ( and would have crossed through this area ) .... but that was a bit influenced by old school ... ( wasn't it ? I am sure you will correct me here if am I wrong - please do ) and Victorian Biblical concepts. Some of the finds here in this area, were in the past seen as part of the above process . But I dont know where these eastern desert culture / people originated. I have not started reading it yet, so .... ? It was highly recommended by a guy I have been conversing with on another site - he really knows his stuff and claims to be a curator of the Egyptian section at a museum in Chicago . I got involved in a few in depth discussions with him and some others (archeologists who have done digs in Egypt ) , current Egyptology students, professional anthropologists, on Egyptian origins - very interesting ! I eventually hit them with my theory, and to my surprise (although it is in no way 'official' ) the guy in Chicago said " That's exactly what I tell people is my personal opinion on it when they ask me at the museum ." It also seems to support another idea I had, that animal husbandry, way pre-dated the development of agriculture and allowed settlements and projects before or right at the beginning of developing agriculture / urban environments. Eg. Gobekli Tepe , Orkney and saw the beginnings of it forming in Australia, evident at the first white settlement . Maybe more after I read some more - got it just in time for impending Jury Duty ..... got keep interested somehow " Mr Nungali, that book you keep refering too, and the notes you keep taking, they are related to the case at hand I hope ?" " Yes , Your Honour. " " Good because your attention now will help you decide on this Man's future - to be set free or sent to jail ... I hope you realise that ?" " Yes Pharaoh .... I mean , yes Your Honour. "

Huh ? We were the only primates that were fishes ?

gotta start somewhere Its either that or blame some trash from another universe , a previous universe, God made God Its either turtles all the way down .... or somewhere a turtle 'just appeared outta nuthin ! '

Through empirical evidence and clear analysis of that evidence removed from our own contextual beliefs ... which can include our personal experiences . Otherwise we tend to interpret our findings with prejudice. In the forward to ' Ancient Egypt - from the First Farmers to the Great Pyramid' John Romer has a great section on this. How our interpretations beyond the empirical findings caused us to have a slanted view, and how to actually make accurate conclusions from the evidence at hand. For example, in much of the old post Victorian archeology, it was interpreted that great rises in culture were bought about by some superior civilised 'race' colonising and teaching . ...... Ummmmmm ... just like the British Empire thought about itself .

Yes Junko ... this is part of what developed and what is expressed in Mankind's ' imaginative soul' . Still, it is not a quality that some animals lack . You must realise that dogs like exploring and taking risks too ... and sometimes, just doing things for the pure fun of it ! ever been on a 'dog sled' ? but the human 'imaginative soul' leads Man to far more than this.

Well, its a handy shift of the problem to 'another place ' . How did God come into existence ? Some other God made him, of course .

..... and then ... there were these two brothers - the 'Gemini twins' ('Lovers' - one from heaven, one from hell ) ... everything was sweet .... then they started to fight about stuff. That brother's story , I have seen it in so many different cultures.

My concept of 'soul' is seen as a development brought about by the circulation of those two forces I mentioned ... circulated in cycles ( think alchemical 'circulation' ) over hundreds of thousands of years. We can , as a term, but what is understood by that term ? We may differ there. Sorry, I am unfamiliar with the term Yep. Good question .

Here is another ..... it could apply to both of us ? - Matthew 7:6 .

Right ! and 'as if'' everyone needs to know about your 'expanding aura in the day ' .

That confused me. Do you mean different influences came together and the different people mentioned focused on and tried to explain each different influences. ... and by looking at them all we get a bigger picture ? {For a moment there, I thought you meant, their different influences. } The different influences I see are from inherited and mutated genetics coupled with environmental feedback. Everything else ( the view of the above mentioned people , 'spiritual' etc ) can be seen as metaphor, analogy, 'theatre', etc so that inherent / feedback process works better ( and that is related to our 'human' ability that separated us from the other animals in the first place , something I term (for ease of reference ) ' the imaginative soul' .

Its related to prime hermetic directive ; ' Know thyself' ... the basic questions " Who am I , where did I come from and where am I going ? " So a very worthwhile enquiry IMO. I prefer to start at physical foundations, they should be strong and balanced. For this, anthropology is good, to gain your basic understanding of origins. Also cultural anthropology looks at the whole cultural range of answers to the above questions. The record shows we have not always been here .... then 'suddenly' ... we are . But there were creatures here before us, very much like us, but not yet 'mankind' ... and animals before them, who were like them but not yet them . And so on , so I think evolution is implied. One important distinction was / is ; when did the change occur and what caused it ... and what is actually those essential difference that separated us from the other animals and made, or 'distinguishes ' mankind ? That might be a good starting point ?

didnt work .... try again

Pumpkins will cover your house ! Very prolific even where other stuff wont grow .... many a good pumpkin pie has been had , and a good pumpkin and purple skinned white sweet potato tagine mmmmm-mmmmh ! My Rosellas are due for their first harvest, some of them are giant ! A bit time consuming and they dont keep, so its jam, preserve sauce and cordial making week .... and this week I got a lot on in the garden ... but called in for jury duty ..... how am I gonna do both ! ?

Then you must be totally unfamiliar with Tibetan Buddhism, Western Magic and what goes on in serious case psyche wards . I can assure you ... it was not 'hilarious' for the family involved , some hysteria perhaps. but no hilarity.

Sure . But I am not talking about that . I am thinking more like, after all that was done and the young lady in question had been to docs. psyche, had meds, to no avail. Waking up in the middle of the night, and thinking 'Oh no, not again ! ' and desperately trying to prove to yourself you are asleep but cant wake yourself up.... then a demonic version of yourself comes into your bedroom, and starts ripping parts off you, and eating them, and you can feel that, And then your mum finally wakes you up because you are screaming .... isnt just a matter of what you suggest .... although 'personal issues' might come a bit closer. In the case of a 'real' leech salt and blade work fine too ! That's not an 'over reaction' either . The magical blade also represents the balanced mind. Or this could be used too

a blade or fingernail for your variety and a 'magical blade' (copper or iron ) for this variety ........

Throw some salt around . Then get 'a blade' between you and their attachment .

Whats real ? That it is a real body , that it is a dead preserved body, that all the stupid story that goes with it is real ? The stupid story that is trying to negate all the proof and evidence of history, archaeology, etc to make a new woo woo history fro the earth and its peoples ... by offering up one example of this 'immortal' ...one case of ( pathetically based ) ' hard proof' to negate all the other masses of hard proof that say the opposite. This is a symptom of collective madness .... that whats what it is ! If one person went around touting these ideas, they would be considered a candidate for the 'holiday camp' ..... not nowadays, its called 'occult' or 'new discoveries' [ A bit like, in the old days if a guy with half his hair shaved off, unshaven and raving madly and abusing imaginary friends while he walks out into traffic would get taken for a visit to 'holiday camp' . Nowadays its just some hipster stockbroker on his bluetooth. ]

Oh man ..... I never watched more than a few seconds of 'Jedi Gym' before .... but now ..... that guy that popped the ball ... the one with the little helmet on top of the big head .... Oh ... Jesus ! I'm tappin out - but it won't stop ...
