    Are you certain of that ? History says it was the Persians .... they made ice very early on ... in the desert ! Then they began flavoring it ..... mmmmmm - 'slushie' . Then some bright spark in India came up with the idea of adding cream while it freezes . In praise of ideas ! Without this one .... no ice cream .

    Me , at work, to a well known actor ; " You have done so many different roles , and at work, I often see you still emerged in that role off set . Do you ever get confused or lost regarding your own real personality ? And further .... what IS your own 'real' self and personality , not that stuff thats been put on you ... and further, doers it matter ? I mean why should a taken on role or personality be more or less valid than any supposed original one ? ... and further .... " Answer : " .... all I wanted was a cigarette .... "

    Damn 'outside world' interfering with our thoughts and dreams of whats going to happen ! Conversely , an Aussie soldier in WWII , shot down over PNG , bailed out and parachuted down , but unfortunately , not only landed in a Jap camp, but crashed through the mess tent roof and landed on the table in the middle of lunch time ! Talk about bad timing ! He then got engaged in hand to hand combat and actually managed to escape . But was found later , dead from the injuries he received during that fight . Yet he is virtually unknown .

    I think we have had pretty good examples of that here ( what cartoon Christ is saying ) in esoteric section with a series of posters ... or multiple ID posters , doing exactly this in regard to Thelema , Crowley and 'Do what Thou Wilt ' .

    Well, I was forced to be a Catholic when little ..... they made mine shorter .
  6. Christianity

    Then drop it dude . This 'status' BS was your doing . maybe get to back to telling us how much you know about Christianity and Christ ..... without reading the Bible . - and THAT is my point , not your idea to try and turn this towards 'status' .

    Well, if society breaks down , and you 'head for the hills ' (or desert ) apparently it will be BMW that does the trick . Especially in outback 'Australia' .. " The latest Mad Max installment starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth features a large number of impressive motorcycles including BMW . " I heard the ' vehicles boys' where doing a right crazy job on them and BMW was throwing motorcycles at them . " A chariot pulled by an R18 ? " " Nah , not just one .... we got so many Beemers on hand , I attached an extra one on either side ! " - " in Furiosa is reportedly a wild, motorcycle-pulled chariot using not one, not two, but THREE BMW R18s. In fact, it appears a variety of modified BMWs appear in the new movie and BMW has confirmed its involvement in the flick." WTF . ( In case you not familiar an R18 motor is classic opposed twin BMW , so that is a 900cc pot on either side ! ) - Thing is , I dont think that much petrol is going to be available if it gets 'unsafe ' . A guy I know, some years back invested a heap in a powerful high tech solar set up, now he has an electric car . I am guessing people that can recharge electrical stuff ( solar, wind , hydro ) are going to be very popular .

    16. To obtain Magical Power, learn to control thought; admit only those ideas that are in harmony with the end desired, and not every stray and contradictory Idea that presents itself. 17. Fixed thought is a means to an end. Therefore pay attention to the power of silent thought and meditation. The material act is but the outward expression of thy thought, and therefore hath it been said that β€œthe thought of foolishness is sin.” Thought is the commencement of action, and if a chance thought can produce much effect, what cannot fixed thought do? - Liber Librae .

    You mean like ..... leaving out the 'spiritual dick size' and 'crotch smelling' comments ? .

    Beautiful ! And my fav color ! The motorcycle I showed above is a Royal Enfield 'Constellation' . I have a more modern retro styled R.E. 500 single , like your 'Beesa' above . 'Air Force Blue ' , 'runway courier ' . I opted for a low rider single seat , I am sure that above BSA would look great with one ! That is , no seat springs, seat sits on top of frame and into front of rear guard . Makes a lower CoG . And swapped the muffle for the Standard Brit (as in the BSA above - That must have dropped 10 kg at least - stock exhaust is a monster ! ) That type of gathering sounds great . We got 'Lovefest' booked in again this spring for their festival on our riverside festival site .... I wish it was more like that . Last time I threw a hatchet I got a bullseye , observer mate called 'arse' ... 'fluke' lucky . I said skill , he scoffed more .. Okay let's make a little bet , no bullseye, you get $5 I get a bullseye , you give me $5 - three goes each , you cant opt out until after your go . He wanted to opt out after he was $30 in the hole . Me : " Not until after you next 3 shots . " - what a dickhead ! because he is in my martial arts group and seen me do all sorts of stuff with weapons .

    Thanks for that . I was just challenged on a history forum to show historical reference to the land of Olmo Lung Ring ... now I know how to respond : " Of course I know the reference , but its irrelevant at the moment ......... "
  14. The sickly self-obsessed modern man

    Yes, that, and its horrific cousin - economic 'rationalism' !
  15. The sickly self-obsessed modern man

    I DO share this notion . Try spending some time with a tribe , you will immediately notice the difference . They often have an overall 'nurturing and protecting' of each other , perhaps remnants of Aeon of Isis ? How did it come about ? Maybe started with agriculture and strangely enough 'large settlements' . The industrial revolution was a huge nail in the coffin . Then the great wheel turned , the stars revolved , the Aeon of Osiris - the ruling father shifter to the Aeon of Horus - where the old systems where broken down . return ? There is no return , you cant wind back the clock . However the next aeon in the cycle promised to deliver some balanced feminine energy - the Aeon of Ma'at .
  16. Christianity

    Nah, not going to read it carefully .... too many comments about big spiritual dicks and crutch sniffing for me . the metaphors one chooses indicate one's proclivities. Simply, you are just one of those people that argues against learned knowledge if it doesnt agree with your ' suppose so ' garnered from limited modern 'knowledge ' . And the 'defdence' you offer ? Well ...... typical .

    Me ? I am hiding out ' down in the 'crack ' ( subduction fault , valley floor of sub tropical rain forest ) .... up the back of a 'hippy commune' , they will never find me here . That was the plan, anyway . My best tactic to avoid 'all that bother' was some tricky per-incarnation business that I cant tell you about ( because I dont know it myself, at this stage ) . lets call it 'the fortuitous birth ' - good times, place, environs, parents , etc . I used to think I was born at a 'perfect; time ' ... the boom time here . Compared to now, like even 15 years ago was a 'dream' , more so before that . I dont even tell the kids about it anymore , too sad for them to know how good it was . At one stage I used to think, " if only I was born a bit earlier , I would have had access to all those retro English motorcycles - brand new ! But that would have made me old enough for Vietnam War conscription ( they nearly got my big brother ) ... I was just the right age for 'free university' when it came in . And I won;t be here any morte when the shit really hits the fan . Good luck you younger generations !

    Ideas ; They flash forth like fire in inspiration. They settle like water in consideration. Their details are aired within mentation. But they need an earthy solid manifestation. Otherwise its just a pipe dream or some silly new age scheme. if only we had ideas that seem in retrospect, what they should have been . .

    Its obvious ! The pan seared carrots , and I reccomend doing that in butter , add a little garlic and squeeze of lemon with a drizzle of honey to finish off . PS I was going to like your post but thought I better not take ..... any of your food
