  1. Christianity

    I cant believe you just wrote that ! The answer is , what you claimed for your own validity in the first place - internal content . And sensible and knowledgeable information will come about by developing sense reason and knowledge (hopefully leading to understanding and wisdom ) and an intelligent person will be able to detect any internal validity with any information according to their own capacity in sense reason and knowledge and practice . Sorry , this new age 'channeling' and 'because I say / think so/ , just aint gonna cut it ... ceptin in the world of social media and youtubes .

    'Status " is 'a position relative to others' . You seem to be saying that people having position relative to others is invalid . And specifically if that status relationship is about learning and practice . I hope you never need to go to a doctor ( for the doctors sake ! ) I suppose if you didnt agree with his diagnosis you would get a 2nd or 3rd opinion ? Then abuse the other two doctors of 'cheer leading' .
  3. Very unpopular opinions

    one of my favorites ; a friend had a nice flat in Bondi , 50s retro style . The few residents looked after it well and maintained the exterior , it was on a corner of a laneway and near a hotel. he got annoyed at drunks ducking around the corner and urinating late at night when pub closed . The smell began to waft up to his window. So one night he sees two guys pissing down there and tipped his orange juice out on to one of their heads . As drunks do , for some reason , one blamed the other one for pissing on him , and the other did likewise . A fight started and mate watched them beat the shit out of each other for 'pisssing on each others heads ' ... while they where standing side by side pissing on the ground ! ahhh , alcohol, wonderful stuff . As mate said ; " At least they saved me the trouble of going down there and beating them up .'

  7. Christianity

    It seems an intrinsic part of human nature .... for some of us .
  8. Christianity

    Yep, thats why I find Zoroastrianism different . Part of their philosophy seems to have been an experiment in not only allowing diversity but encouraging it ; well, yes, we have taken over your country , but we can help you rebuild your temples and re install your Gods there . IMO 'common' sense , although not too common an attitude at all . . One company I worked for (film production) handed out warm woolies to keep, rain wear , and the nurse came around every morning with vit C , B and an herbal pills (all free ) 'How come " I asked . Answer ; 'healthy happy workers are good workers ' Thats an intelligent approach . friends son did the same , known him since he was a baby , now he has his own kids and a very successful plumbing business , at an early stage he confided in me ; If you work hard and honest and are truthful and nice to people , you get more work and they pay you better .' ... smart kid !

    You probably should not have said sayed either .
  11. Christianity

    Here is a dynamic hidden within your point 1 . In other cultures that admit henotheism ( unlike Judaism which struggled with it .... that is , the evidence is within the scripture but they dont like to admit it ) it would be 'Our God is more powerful and we will defeat you and your God .' And then they loose .... <shrug> I guess your God was more powerful after all . But if you are pushing only YOUR God as the supreme powerful all or only ruler , and you go into battle under his banner and protection ..... and you loose ? God must be punishing us for doing something wrong . Its a set up for a big guilt trip . Eventually people began to believe they where born into the world, already with this 'I done something wrong - guilt trip ' . - not healthy .

    Okay ... I must have missed the 'to me' bit before ? Cool . Could you explain to me the difference between being a Zarathustrian. and a Zoroastrian ? What do you like about that religion ? - actually, its one of my favorites , I could adopt it, with some modifications ..... I guess that would make me a ' Neo - Zoroastrian ' .... not a New Age make it up as I go a along one , more of a ' searching for the original form ' Zoroastrian ... a type of 'select parts of it , as I go a long ' type . .

    'Authority meters' ? This one has a probe
  14. Indeed . Down the south coast from here Orcas used to help whalers heard the whales in. The head orca 'Old Tom' developed a good relation ship with the head whaler , when this Captain died , he was rowed over to an island for the funeral and buried . Old Tom turned up and stayed off shore until the grave was filled, and then swum off . One wonders how Old Tom could tell from watching at water level . Unfortunately the new Captain had no taste for such relationships so Tom pulled the plug on helping them and the whaler orca relationship began to decline . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whales_of_Eden,_New_South_Wales
  15. The feel of a place/space

    Here is a great 'place / space ' ; ' Hangover Bay ' - I cant recall its indigenous name , its north of Perth , Western Australia . I was doing a trip up WA coast a few years back , I was still weirded out about going there - my first trip many years ago I was shocked to find the room I was staying in on an 'island resort ' and the whole complex had been an Aboriginal concentration camp ! I have never felt the same since about going over there .... a very uncomfortable energy got lodged in me after sleeping there . This trip I was hesitant and eager to get out of Perth and go north straight away . The bad feeling followed me . Eventually, I came to a turn off marked Hangover Bay , and feeling like I had a psychic hangover decide to check it out . It had a plaque explaining how the area had a long indigenous history of being a healing place , after being sick, recovering from injury or having emotional trauma , grieving , etc . I could immediately feel the calming and good effect of the place . Its the only beach I have been on with waves coming in from 4 directions (including a backwash ), making interesting patterns in the surf , the water was clean and invigorating . Pure white powdery sand , lots of fish . I felt healed after 1/2 hour of being there . It was great intro to the area , as it allowed me now to appreciate the good and fun stuff , its near the town of Cevantes , so I stayed there - best just off the boat lobster I ever tasted , then I had a dawn experience in the near by Pinnacles Desert - W O W ! probably would not have happened if I had not got the healing / clearing at at the magic spot first . Hangover Bay PInnacles desert .
  16. The feel of a place/space

    Oooo ! I have an interest in old Okinawan graves / shrines . What where you studying in Okinawa ? Before the mess made of the place , its position offered a very good lifestyle and created a healthy old generation ; good local produce , atmosphere, energy and exposed to healthy and clean ocean currents , good fish . That all changed after US occupation . My teacher used to fish on what people said was 'the bad side ' .... bad water currents and pollution . He used to eat the fish , unfortunately he died of brain cancer .
