That depends on what definitions are given to the bolded words.

'no duality' cant be its opposite as 'no duality can be the precursor and the result .... being 'the one' from the 'none' and the 'myriad things' How does duality become 'one' .... perhaps an examination of a bosun will help demonstrate ? Captain to Sailor ; " Do you know where the Bosun is ?" Sailor ; " Well, in this port, at this time of day, he's likely up The Old Sea Dog." Captain ; "I see, and where might I find this Old Sea Dog ? " Sailor ; " At this time of day .... he is liable to be in bed with the Bosun .

Here is an unusual parrot - kakapo; flightless, ground - dwelling, nocturnal , only lives in NZ, world's only nocturnal flightless parrot, can weigh up to 4 kg. , walks and jumps feeding on the ground but can climb 20 mt. up a tree, have a sub-sonic boom call that travel up to 7 km. http://kakaporecovery.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/bill-boom-1.mp3 and another call that sounds like a broken gate being dragged open http://kakaporecovery.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/skraark.mp3 Looks unusual and can get a bit 'frisky'

What is the answer to the Universe ? That depends on what the Universe wants to know. I imagine it wants to know itself ; in the big picture, it postulates its own self, creating 'two things' ; that which postulates and the postulation - the mirror and its reflection ... this gives birth to a third ... the new concept the Universe has of itself. Now, this neat little triangle creates a second one (as the one created the two ) ... and we are off into the 'myriad things' . The little picture ... it has all of us 'out there' being the eyes, ears and receptor organs of itself , our 'feedback' is the answer to the Universe .

Nah .... not just science .... it is , as you should know ; everything ! Duality is all around us , cant you see it ? It is even where you cant see ; Standard Particle : Superpartner, Higgs boson : Higgsino, Neutrino : Sneutrino, Lepton : Slepton, Z boson : Zino, W boson : Wino, Gluon : Gluino , Muon : Smuon , Top quark : Stop squark .

There are heaps of sources . And there are heaps of types of it. On a very basic level it can make you anything from more cautions to totally paranoid, just as a physical reaction and there are other similar psychological associations ( based on the person not believing they were as safe as they were. Then there is what some call 'mood' changes , running all the way through to ' personality change' . One of the first famous cases of that ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage#M3 I have also seen this after someone has a heart attack. Even a long time spouse turn against the other as virtually overnight they have changed their beliefs about them , It might be debatable that 'personality disorder ' is a change in beliefs ... but many who suffer it have changed their beliefs to what they were before, in this case to irrational and strange ones. Brain trauma can be a cause of psychosis. Some types of amnesia, where the whole concept of who one is is forgotten .... have changed their belief about knowing who they are. Brain degeneration can lead to a life changing religious experience " ... results showed significantly greater hippocampal atrophy in individuals reporting a life-changing religious experience. " http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/religious-experiences-shrink-part-of-brain/ Neurological Disorder and Religious Experiences: Another source of data on the relationship between brain function and religious experiences is the result of brain disease or injury. Most remarkable are the descriptions, found in both anecdotal accounts and the literature of clinical neurology, regarding intense religious experiences associated with temporal lobe epileptic seizures. In a small group of patients with this form of seizure disorder, intense religious awe, ecstasy, or feelings of divine presence occur as a consequence of the abnormal electrical activity of the brain that constitutes the aura leading up to a seizure. For example, one patient gave the following description of the experience of the aura: “Triple halos appeared around the sun. Suddenly the sunlight became intense. I experienced a revelation of God and of all creation glittering under the sun. The sun became bigger and engulfed me. My mind, my whole being was pervaded by a feeling of delight.”13 http://www.issr.org.uk/latest-news/neuroscience-and-religious-faith/ ..... wait a minute ! .... you could look all these up yourself ....

We have been here before: 1. There is no 'up' on a sphere in space . 2. 'You northerners' have a natural southern orientation towards the path of the Sun, where our's is northern ... the same as all the maps (including yours ). 3. So you have to do 'map rotation' to find your way around. 4. And we dont 5. So if anyone is 'upside down' or down underneath ... it is you guys. 6. Which is why you are all so confused ( I mean ... look at the post above this one .... tisk tisk ) .

Hence the lines in that famous poem .... Down here - neither has any clout , as I I would not be here if NASA is 'found out' .

Cool . I get them also the giant black ones. before rain comes they flap around and shriek, then you can hear them in the yard, up in the trees ripping tree limbs apart .... pretty strong they are too ! I will find a branch on the ground and you can see each single bite on it, like a router, all the way to the center where the grub was . All my pets are feral pets (except for the ponds and tanks ) ... the best sort , they work for their treats, and one can just leave and they look after themselves. But they are there for fun when you want it . I explained this to my GF once and she looked at me sus and said " That's what I am to you, aren't I , a feral pet ? " I ... um .... er ..... (she even wrote a song about that and it called 'feral pet' - it was pretty funny. ) At the moment the silky oak has flowered and the multi colored parrots are having a ball, they are everywhere. And I am on the tail end of letting the grass seed, which attracted a lot of crimson rozellas - love them and their call !

Hmmm ... good one... The earth is flat on the Nullabor, and the Hay Plains ... to the extent that it can weird your perception out ... when I was there , out in the middle of BFN ... after sunset, when the sky darkened and the stars started to come out, they did it directly overhead, and it spread down in a dome to make a black starry sky with a rim of blue underneath all around the horizon ... then it dropped further to all black and stars - amazing. But the Earth is round , and that is a bit hard to tell, unless one is 'over there'.

I do believe past experience has had the same effect on you ... your beliefs seem flexible . Nothing improves the 'dummy' better than having its beliefs crashed into reality.

looking to sell some Buddhist items what are they worth?
Nungali replied to mewtwo's topic in General Discussion
I think value will be relative. I used to sell this stuff. My supplies would charge me $7.50 for a set of tingshaws ... I would double that (for a market stall, so no overheads) and sell for $15 ... yet thet were up to $65 in the shops. The Iron Phurba ... the same $7.50 cost. I had a price list hanging around from back then .... Oh I wish I had spent $700 on the large demon queller set ... it would be worth an absolute fortune nowadays . But I think my prices would be irrelevant ... maybe just check the internet average price nowadays to get an idea ? Of course, also, it depends on quality ... are they touro knockoffs made of brass or 'white metal' (usually melted down car engine blocks ) ... or an original antique made of electrum blended planetary metals when the planets are in right conjunction ... and if it is, is it 5 metal blend (elemental) or 7 metal blend ( planetary) and more expensive. The photos are not that clear, but from what I can see they appear to be modern knockoffs . -
This experience of deeper and fresh wounds on my return
Nungali replied to DreamBliss's topic in General Discussion
THIS! No ... I am not going to cane you anymore .... your first post about yourself here , reads a bit like my first responses to you on this forum . I am not going to offer platitudes BUT ... it is not at all impossible that this situation ( home, life, career, residence, etc ) is going to force the next stage of your individuation process .... the 'Universe' does that sometimes. It could well be the start of vast new potential unfolding. Like I said before 'throw yourself in the river' and you never know where you will end up. For some reason I want to tell a story here : I have a mate who is an importer from China , he met an Aussie Chinese guy and they did this business deal together and it worked out quiet well. My friend thought maybe they could do more. He commented to him that he has done well for himself in business and seems to have it all sorted; nice house, car, business money and nice Aussie wife. The Chinese guys told him "Oh yes ... now ... but not before ." "What do you mean ?" (Thinking the guy, like many Australians, had Chinese parents and probably grew up here with the advantages most Australians have ). " I lived in China to the age of about 30 ... I was an accountant in a small firm. One day, walking home from work there was a protest in the street. I changed my route to avoid it, but the police attacked them and dispersed them and people were running everywhere, I got caught up in it and arrested. I said. no I am accountant on my way home from work, they said, no you are a protester ... many of the protesters are accountants and other workers. So they took me away and put me in a political prison somewhere, I wasnt even sure where. Then there was a riot in the prison, again I didnt want to get involved, but I caught up in things again. They just started shooting people, I got one in the leg but I played dead. They moved the bodies , with me now pretending to be one of them outside the prison and I thought I may be able to escape if I keep still and I had to hide amongst a pile of corpses. They took them and me to a nearby rubbish dump and when dumping the bodies I must have passed out. I think there then was a big storm, and stuff from the dump got washed into a nearby river, I remember waking up in the water, lying on top of something floating and the storm and rubbish and bodies around me in the water. I swam over to something else floating that seemed more stable and climbed up on it and passed out again. I woke up later and I was floating in the ocean ... eventually a boat from another country picked me up. I ended up in the Philippines, got into the refugee program and many years later ended up in Australia. I did a business course to catch up and match my qualification with Australian standard and got a job. Then I got married and we saved up and then I started my own business .... and now ... here I am . Hang in there ! It is just as likely that something great will happen as well as something not great .... I mean, as you know, I am not one to sugar coat things with affirmations of it will all be fine .... definitely cathart , release, bitch and shout as you need ... but dont get totally negative about amazing new potentials -
You know, medical science has shown that someone's belief system can radically change due to a blow to the head or other similar trauma . Apparently the same techniques can be used to flatten out the earth . Nungali's belief clinic is now open

Hmmm ... confused as I dont know why you would think I am like the guy that didnt know the answer to any question ... besides ... when that d if that did happen (on 'an' internet forum ) ... I would just leg it ... ... or was it the flat banana that reminded you ? - watermelon anyone ?

I now realize my mistake here ..... what was I thinking ? Offering curved bananas here .... I hope I can retract that and substitute these
