  2. The power of Russian love

  7. The power of Russian love

    Looking at some of the comments made ME wonder if they are a jibe at the OP because he posted " the West, but they are losing to the Russians in the power of love." I would have said the same to an American , am Irishman or a Chatham Islander made the same claim about THEIR nationality .

    Of course not . That would be plain silly . I make soup instead , While I am sitting in the bath I chop up some carrots and onions , a bit of celery, chuck that in, some herbs and a couple of bay leaves . Let it all stew up . Then after a while I can sink down in the bath every so often and sip a mouthful . You should try it .... hang on I will move over for you ..... in ya get . Now have a sip . Now now everyone, settle down, I know you all want to try some, dont worry, samples of Nungali soup will be available to all of you soon .

    At the end I thought .... hey ! I feel pretty good. I even left my car at the park , walked over the bridge and up the hill to town, did shopping walked back . I'm not past it yet ... yay ! Ceptin now ...... Oooooooh . Getting stiff and sore , back still good though and that is my main issue . So I got an out side fire bath warming up in the garden . Mostly my arms , got my muscles and tendons whacked a lot .... typical ! ( for me- I keep using myself as a crash test dummy ) ; " What's all this blocking bullshit about anyway , why block an attack, just punch it . " I was asked what I mean so I invited them to stop blocking and just punch anything I throw at them ..." . Nooooo ! Not like that ... punch it with 'ippon ken' * into my arm, wrist, back of hand ." So they did ..... - Owww ... mhe I can handle that .... Owww OWWW , now its getting annoying ..... OWWWW now I'm getting hurt ! After a bit my arms decided they didnt want to punch any more ( especially when one got me a bit too near L11, made me loose concentration and one of his counters boinged the end tip of my nose as a cross flew past it ) Then I had a turn ; first hit, other guy ; " OK, thats enough for me . " I suppose 'other guy ' is at home now going " Bastard ! I got a (one) sore lump on my arm . " * Alright , thats enough excitement for grandpa today .

  11. The power of Russian love

    If you take a Russian man's pants off ..... there is a smaller one inside . A Russian man flashed at my girl friend once ..... she pointed and said " Oh look, that looks just like a penis.... only smaller . "

    and it didnt make you a demon at all . This is all about the good and bad forces that Dr Van Dusen ( from my linked article ) writes about . You where fortunate to have contact with 'forces of a good order' . They can supply 'original information', after all , this is where 'inspiration' often comes from . Some are afflicted with forces of a bad order , that give false info masking it as true or mystical and work against and or persecute the person instead of being 'benign' . Asd Apech said , these forces have been known about through all of human history and reality . Its rather curious how this recent , mixed up, 'flash in the pan' , narrow year span , of the materialist / scientific / psychiatric , current view is now considered 'reality' . ... 'we are now right , and all people throughout all places and locations and times have been wrong about it ... but not us . yeah .... right

    Because some of us have ways to test / discern those things . Actually, that information and skill should be well incorporated before one embarks on such explorations ( speaking from the viewpoint of western evocation ) .
  17. How to draw a 60 inch long katana

    yes , quite .... as he said , that style is more 'acrobatics' , for show, on a stage . he shows a variation of two man draw , for battle at 6:20 (which I referred to in my 6th post ) . Which, to me makes more sense , your 'page' keeps the sheath and retires (or in emergency could fight with it * ) . I would not want to be in a fight with that huge sheath sticking out my belt ! *

  19. Education - advice

    Ancient form : Khvarenah The khvarenah is the archetype of the person one can grow to if allowed to grow to the limit of her or his capacity in grace, that is, in keeping with the fravashi and thereby in keeping with Divine purpose. In the Avesta, the khvarenah is frequently described as 'Mazda-datem', i.e. God-given or God-gifted. The khvarenah is also a person's higher calling - their meaning in life [the Middle Persian Pahlavi rending of khvarenah is khvesh-kari meaning own-work or own-purpose (in keeping with Divine purpose i.e. the higher calling)]. Every human being is endowed with natural talents that can be harnessed and developed to achieve one's highest potential or one's higher calling [sometimes thought of as one's latent destiny in life]. Alternatively, through choice, these talents can be employed to achieve base ambitions. A spenta mainyu - a brilliant, positive, constructive, and beneficent spirit - allows a person to perceive their higher calling. An angra mainyu - a gloomy, negative, destructive, and harmful spirit - leaves a person vulnerable to base ambitions. A spenta mainyu enables a person to choose asha, the path of goodness, and pursue her or his calling without expectation of reward. The khvarenah is specific to a person and is different for each person. There is a strong implication in Zamyad Yasht (Yt 19.46-57) that the khvarenah that does not belong to a person cannot be seized by another person. The implication is that we should be content with our khvarenah and not be jealous or greedy of the other's khvarenah (here, good fortune). When all human beings realize their calling or full potential in grace, the world will attain vahishtem anghuim & frasho-kereti - the ultimate and ideal future existence, a heaven on earth. (Also see the section on Airyana Vaeja, the Aryan homeland, as paradise.) Human beings often limit or loose themselves. In either case, they do not achieve their full potential or capacity. While to some extent, a person's lot in life is determined by birth and circumstance, a person can find her or his latent khvarenah or calling by envisioning the person one aspires to become in grace, and then taking steps to realize the khvarenah despite daunting obstacles and adversity. To loose oneself is to loose one's khvarenah. Modern : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Will Looking at aspects from both sources we see many match .... its almost as if 'True Will' concept was 'lifted' from Zoroastrianism .

    I offered it before to you ... but - no response , on any level . One more time : http://www.theisticpsychology.org/books/w.vandusen/presence_spirits.htm perhaps you need some credentials for the author ? Chief Psychologist at Mendocino State Hospital in California where he worked among the mentally ill for 17 years. He holds an A.B., M.A. from the University of California and a Ph.D., summa cum laude, from the University of Ottawa, Canada, plus several other earned and honorary degrees in science, metaphysics, and investment. His two books The Presence of Other Worlds, and Natural Depth in Man (Swedenborg Foundation) have been translated into five foreign languages. He has also contributed to many other volumes and has written over 100 articles, mostly in psychology Also I am curious about these two you mention not wanting to share publicly or privately 'what strengthened this belief ' and how you knew about this , what , they both declared , in some form, that they 'believe in demons' but ' and that is all we will say about it ' ? .
  21. How to draw a 60 inch long katana

    I have seen that in a 'karate' demo in public. Some dude playing samurai was supposed to cut something, hoicked the sword high up above his head ( to cut down ) , the blade left the hilt and flew back behind him into the crowd ! Another one , from two brothers I trained with in my youth , in Sikiran . Again thinking they knew how to handle 'live' swords * , in a demo, one lies on his back with watermelon on belly , the other cuts it in half , but not the belly ...... supposedly . He nearly made the cut , except for a thin layer of outer skin at the bottom , which held the melon there gaping open . The guy on the bottom realized that if he just pushed his stomach up a bit quickly the force would split the cut all the way through and the melon fall off his belly either side . The sword guy realized if he just sliced through that bit of skin while his sword was down there at the end of his cut , the melon halves would fall off each side as planned . the issue was they both had that idea and did it at the same time . Result was , belly guy ended up with a very neat row of stitches across his belly . Some of those things are sharp ! .... and crappy ! * I only use blunts or wooden ones .
  22. How to draw a 60 inch long katana

    There is another draw version at 6 : 20 ... but it takes two people . Not a good sword for our old training hall ..... years back, a boken, a low ceiling and a neon light tube .....

    This look is different ..... the facial expression I mean . I'll add a caption ; " Did that arse hole deliberately cut off my lane change then ? "
  24. Transgender Q&A

    Thats the tricky issue ... its NOT 'we' ( 'you' or these type of people ' , meaning transgender people ) its a strange 'type' that has infiltrated various things , not just 'transgenderism' . And they are already nuts , and its spreading into all types of areas .
