When I get anywhere near the concept of original sin my hackles rise up. It makes me want to wade in and start .... lets say ... smashing up the money lenders in the temple. It stems from 'black gnostic' ( as in the path of black magick - not what most see as black magic but as one of the three schools; black white and red) These are the people that ban sex as it can create life and more life is just more suffering (doesn't bode well for their future if they cant reproduce ). What a sick idea original sin is ... even little kids tag it; "What? an innocent little baby is born in sin?" I understand where it originates and the original concept / philosophy is distorted as well so that doesn't justify the idea.. I feel sorry for people who believe such things ... I feel anger at them when they try to infect the innocent with their ideas. I (obviously) was bought up (well they tried to ) as a Roman Catholic ... what was even MORE stupid was the idea that, not only did you have original sin but any further 'sin' could be forgiven by mere confession ritual .... then more sin ... more confession ... just keep on going until you die and hope that when you die it is just after confession before you commit more sin ... or if your timing is wrong contact a priest and he will rush to your deathbed and do a final one ... and its straight to heaven for you. I cant believe some people still believe in this sort of thing ! Bring back the good old days I say ! bring back plenary indulgence !!! (That's where you pay $$$ before hand to the priest to be forgiven for sins you haven't committed yet but most likely WILL commit in the near future. A HEM ! Please excuse me ... I will put the angry Djinn back in his bottle and refit the stopper.

Doh!

However .... on a more serious note ... Here is your first difficulty with your want; trees don't walk around ... so that aint gonna work ... the whole point of being a tree is being in one place for so long and observing the world pass by you ... note what Neophyte says ... he has success with the meditation but he is doing it one spot. It is like observing AND LEARNING from nature, it requires some length of time ... not just a few hours of 'snapshot' photograph ... I learnt that as at times I HAD to .just be still and in one place (spinal injury) so I set up a spot in the garden reading but also hours of observing nature, sky, birds etc. I would direct you to the works of Rudolf Steiner but I cant remember the reference ... it may be in 'The Theosophy of the Rosicrucian' ???? something like ' If you want to become more .... then acknowledge the Holy Love Lance and you will become as vegetative life ...' or something like that .... its somewhere in an old magazine I wrote an article for, I don't have a copy handy but it did raise my eye (Steiner raising a holy love lance ) No no ! stick them back in the ground and take root! Maybe you went wrong when you thought your calling was to be a tree? Maybe it is to "suck yoo dick fo dollah " if so I have noticed many 'positions vacant' advertised on the local job notice board ( ie. the back of the door in the public toilets in town). Good luck with your meditations

You just made yourself EXTRA yummy !

Maybe cola syrup can do it .... I wasn't going to try ... I wanted to avoid surgery ... a one off binge on coke was worth it IMO. Doctor said amount and timing was important ... I don't know enough about such things so I did what she said and it worked. I agree it IS unhealthy to do if not an 'emergency' Does cola syrup have high phosphoric acid content ? I know both coca cola (phosphoric) and asparagus have acids which can dissolve both types of kidney stones. Interesting to me when you say this : " which cause extra training to get it rid." Because the next day I want to go home but another doctor wont let me go yet. I am very restless and my body energy very stuck but I feel stronger so I go out into the garden at the hospital and do some training ... Later the doctor asks me "What were those exercises you were doing outside this morning." "Matsamura Seito Shorin-Ryu." "What's that?" "Okinawan martial art." "You are training martial arts for half the morning???." I nod and he goes away and comes back with a form and gives it to me. "What's this?" "A release form, sign it and give it to the nurse and you can go home now." PS. now, for kidney cleanse I make a tea out of corn husks PPS Interesting what you say about weapons ... I have done training with various weapons as well.

I have natal Sun in Cancer (tropically) ; Moon water tides. I did a delivery job at a beach suburb and would have to leave cards if no one home to sign for parcels. I got slack and stopped dating them ... just a quick squiggle for a signature with a dot or circle above it (as my name has M N W in it... and an I ... the dot or circle was for the I ). I began to notice sometimes my signature was a near smooth line or a very curvy up and down line, the circle a full, half or even a dot ... it kept changing ... when it was a dot for a few days I realised it was a 'dark moon' but why the line very flat .... Aha! No good surf all week! A few weeks later I am called to the counter, lady with delivery card and boss want to know how long ago I left the card in her letter box as it wasn't dated ... Boss: "You are supposed to sign and date the card ...is this your signature? Now we cant tell how long ago it was left there." I looked at the card signature :" Hmmm .... three quarter Moon, big swell ... errrmmm ....last Wednesday . " They give me a weird stare Most of the humans don't really understand me.

Seen it been used by dork ridiculously .... dorks fault - not the technique. Used by doctor ? It 'saved' me. I had kidney stones - Unpleasant! In hospital, the doctor comes in and sees me with open books taking notes, diagrams. "What's that you are doing?" "Pyramid construction theory.." "Show me." ... She is 'bent' and alternative ... she admits she uses other practices besides allopathic; after a bit of a talk' " Okay ... I think you can handle this. Don't tell anyone okay? .... Do you want to avoid surgery tomorrow?" "Certainly!" "Get six cans of Coca-Cola, put them in the freezer until they are ice-slushy, drink them one after another, one every 20 minutes, 10 mins apart, wait 15 mins then drink a can of liquefied asparagus." I get on phone, ring friend to bring supplies. Nurses laughing at me ... say its stupid but I promised doctor I wouldn't tell anyone. Later that day I go to the laughing nurse and hand her urine bottle with urine and fine gritty black stuff in the bottom of it. Next time I see doctor I asked her how she worked out the dosages and timing; "A friend helped me and we used muscle testing. technique.." [ I also asked her why the technique was not used with more people she said people don't like the idea of drinking six cans Coca-Cola ... they say it is an unhealthy drink." I asked, " They say it is more unhealthy than general anaesthetic, an instrument inserted up the penis, the urethra, through the bladder, out the other side, up the tube to the kidney, grab the stone and pull it back out ??? " "Yes." she told me ... I don't really understand most of the humans

Nuit

Like helmets AND chose the tag 'protector'.

I used to sell Tibetan bells dorjes tingshaws tankas etc on a market stall. A couple stops carrying a small baby (looks to me a bit 'asian' or Tibetan looking ... but hey ... lots of babies look that way so ... <shrug> All of a sudden baby looks totally interested in objects and stretches his hand out towards them. Parents; "No ... don't touch." I go, "Its okay." I hold up the tingshaw and diiiinnnng them. Bub is delighted so I give them to him. he clutches them while parents look. Then they go to leave and try to take the tingshaw off bub and give to me. A tug of war ... convincing cajoling and other stuff doesn't work ... now bub is getting cranky and fighting for it. Parents " This is so strange he is usually very easy to deal with and happy about everything." Me "I can believe that! he looks like a little Buddha." Parents; "What do you mean?" "Look at him ... he looks like a reincarnated Tibetan Lama or something." "What!?" Me; "Do you realise how many lamas and monks have been killed in the last generation ,,, they have to turn up somewhere. You can have the Tingshaw for cost price $12.50 " (which is ridiculously cheap). Parents; "No thankyou." They forcibly remove the tingshaw from bubs grasp, who is now screaming. They walk off with the baby chucking an absolute fit and going purple, mum is fussing over him concerned and dad turns back and gives me a dirty look as if it was somehow my fault. (probably thought it was some weird sales ploy of mine ... to sell a normally $60 item to them for $12.50 ...

I am very cautious about allocating 'karma' as source of current situations , it can be used in some cases for callous judgement of the unfortunate and egotistical affirmation of one's own place above others in good fortune. But I like the way YOU described it and added" even though its not the individual's fault that caused its current predicaments". I find the core 'spiritual technology' of these prayers interesting (although not a Christian myself) For me the 'magical technology' works just as well if I appeal to 'nature' ... over time I find the technology or technique more valid than any special form. Then when I understand that I put it in the most appropriate form for me (which does consider my birth location, 'energy of country' { country in an indigenous sense}, genetics, etc.) What is their source of these prayers?

They will be keeping a close watch on you any way (part of their job ). A young magpie was at the front door of my forest cabin once ... I was sitting there watching him. Then ... Magpie; "Kook cook a luk, kuk kuk a coo." Me: "Kook cook a luk, kuk kuk a coo." Magpie ( stares at me incredulously ... did that really just happen?) ; "Kook cook a luk, kuk kuk a coo. Kook a lukka coo." Me (hmmm ... okay then); " Kook cook a luk, kuk kuk a coo. Kook a lukka coo." Magpie ( incredulous); " Kook cook a luk, kuk kuk a coo. Kook a lukka coo. Lukkaclu cluclula lauka coooo ?" Me: ( phew! ... thinks ... concentrates; " Kook cook a luk, kuk kuk a coo. Kook a lukka coo. Lukkaclu cluclula lauka coooo ?" Magpie (excited ... bobs up and down) " Kukalukk akkukcooooalukkasoolukcaw a sawslooaluk .... " Me; ( Oh shit! ... laugh) : "Okay Okay ... I was bluffing."

(but consider) NMSSM

Doubt ?

? 'Supersymmetry'

Whoa ! something weird happened when posting ??? Anyway, try again; All corvids are cousins Being south on the globe I get a good view of the constellation Corvus and its associates; Crater {cup or chalice} and Hydra { multiple headed water creature} and all 3 come together in a fascinating mythological story I find it interesting to look at and examine the story behind the 'constellational birds'.

Corvids are cousins

Oooo! That was a doozey for me! I look at it like this; divination is the LEAST useful use of the Tarot ... it IS a usefull use but the others are SOOO useful in comparison. Its the system, the obvious and occulted gnosis and so much more in the cards ... a system of teaching, collating and accessing knowledge from everything mentioned above and more. So I preferred to read for people interested in that (which I did for around 30 years ... including 'professionally' ) other then the usual money sex/love power job travel issues . For me, reading is a dialogue and a dragging out the meaning by the querant and the reader working together. This worked best when I could encapsulate the energy of the reading in a general form and deliver that to the querant , then they would give it relevance to their real and tangible situations, then we could get more into the detail of the reading relating to that situation and the various forces and energies at work ... some people loved my readings and found them accurate and returned for more ... others just and drifted off to the other Tarot readers (like the guy with the glitter wand and the top hat or the girl in fairy costume .

I care about many things .... but do I DO much about it? Not really ... I used to think I did , but in older age I am more realistic about my faults. Its nice to know someone 'cares' though ... And its nice to 'care about' the disadvantaged (cheaper and easier than tossing them a penny). Ohhh ! You probably mean 'to care FOR' .... not 'to care ABOUT' ? I made that mistake in my bible interpretation too ... ' but after all these years it doesn't really add up...' - for humanity. I always thought the this phrase was significant (whoever wrote it?); Man is made by God, in God's image ... and God is made by Man, in Man's image. When I do not hold an image and accept the care I do get, I get looked after very well ... as an individual ... most of the 'bad stuff' that has happened to me seems to be my doing But I am certainly NOT going to pat the less fortunate on the head and say "There , there, God will look after you". Or try to offer some theological justification. I used to work in refugee relocation programme ... some of the stories !!! - no platitudes from me ... 'care FOR' has to do with actions - not theological platitudes IMO.

Another squiggle; N- + N+ = 0

May I add one? 11. My friend was disturbed and wanted to talk to me about her little girl as she said 'You know about this stuff'' She was driving in the car and her daughter was talking about something and dropped in something about 'her other mummy before'. "What do you mean your other mummy?" "The other one I had before you when we lived in that place that was cold in the big house. She got sick and died." 'But I am your mother." "I know you are silly ... I mean the one before you." Apparently she was very casual and 'matter-of-fact' about it ... curious ... that seems to be part of the memory, that there doesn't seem to be conscious trauma associated with it; 'Oh yes, they stabbed me and put me in a hole but I am okay now .... tra la la la laaah (skips off to chase a butterfly) Maybe there is trauma in others? In any case these memories seem to evaporate around the time we stop 'seeing fairies'.

It is general knowledge, google it; Australian Aboriginal Indigenous culture. (it is the oldest culture still being practised in the world with a history of perhaps over 40,000 years) Google ; snake symbolism in ancient cultures. Google Hermetics. It is Australian Indigenous Aboriginal Mythology try googling the words you are unfamiliar with or google 'Rainbow Seroent dreaming by Australian Aboriginals. I believe all similar symbols are somehow related. Westerners see 2 realities; the material '(real') and the spiritual ( or allegory , symbolic, ideal or even imaginative world). Many indigenous people see 3 realities; the material, the' spiritual' and the daemonic ( a world where both the other two can join). So if I say to a western materialist or atheist that a staff turned into a snake in front of Moses he cannot accept this in the real material world ... it must be in the mind, belief or imagination or that we are lying or we are deluded (the first material viewpoint). A spiritual person may understand this as a teaching ... they mat not believe that the staff turned into the snake but it is a story we can learn from and it has a spiritual and symbolic meaning for us. (the second meaning, a spiritual world). A religious person and an indigenous person will say (from the third or daimonic) viewpoint ... oh yes! that can happen at times the spiritual world can intersect the physical world and make changes (or 'miracles') in the physical world He is ONE of my teachers, he is a Shaman , he is an Australian Aboriginal elder and guardian in the culture I described above - 40,000 years old. How do you know that if you don't know my teacher ... my teacher has met others from all over the world in many traditions and they all give each other respect and do not compete. Indigenous people and shamans come from all over to come here and meet with Aboriginal people; Arctic people, North American Indians, Maori, Pacific Islanders, Indigenous from Norway, Ireland ... many places, maybe Turkey too. They share ,,, they do not care for who is more advanced even the Dali Lama has been here to meet with the Aboriginals ... he never would say that he is more advanced than them because he is too spiritual to say such a thing you asked for a link ... The Book that mentions this may be describing something else ... maybe we do not understand things until we have read them deeply and maybe we cant understand them fully unless we are initiated into or devoted to their tradition ? This was the reference for the source material about the 'Heart Girt With a Serpent' the concepts some people are posting about comes from this book. Negative in that he takes in energy? It is OK I am just joking with you. Many people do not like Crowley ... I have never met any one that loves him though. It takes a 'special kind of person' to be able to gain from his writings ... not the average person. Here is a better picture of him for you. http://www.bankholidaycomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/geuu_02_img0270.jpg Crowley was head of an Order that is supposed to have got teachings from the Sufi Soliman ben Aifa and others.

Although we have amazing birds here we don't have birds here anything like this. So to me this is a very rare and fantastic bird ... I just cant imagine them flying around and being part of it all bluejays have always done that to me .. it seems like something out of a fantasy!

That's because utmost devotion is required for a short term operation (yes 3 months IS a short term operation for something like this). Family and emotional attachments are well known casualties in many traditions for amping up the meditation on this level. Buddha got it over with first and just ran off from all that Oh ... of course ... one should be under a good magical training system first and progress towards that stage. Other wise its a bit like trying to run before learning to crawl. However some seem natural to it.
