Captain Mar-Vell

... I suffered a series of strange pains in my stomach, but I felt that was my guts healing themselves. I had serious ailments that immediately cleared up in the immediate aftermath of my event. Emotional trauma is stored in the stomach. I think part of it was that trauma being released. And I could feel the chi. I could really feel it. I still can. It's like air, but it isn't air. I can feel it swirling around me. And I often feel sort of hollow inside. The chi/prana moving in and out of the empty vessel. ...

... They'll be looking for midiclorians next. I shouldn't have said that... ...

... The cat only crouches in order to pounce. ...

... After my event, one of the odd thoughts that came to me in my insight meditations was whether if someone cut me open, they would find anything out of the ordinary. Not that I want to give anyone any ideas! I wondered whether there might be anything there physically. A miniature black hole was born at my centre. That was my feeling. And no, I ain't no guinea pig. But I am an ascended hamster! on edit: dna activation! I got forearms! I'm a plumber! Not ten, eleven! ...

... I think I had this experience, followed by a physical healing. In fact, a complete physical overhaul of some kind. U G Krishnamurti's phrase comes to mind "blasted every cell of my body." I often think it's a dna thing, from a certain perspective, that is. I know a fair few folk talk about dna activation. My event occurred sort of spontaneously, or rather in response to the sort of haphazard home made spiritual practices that I had always indulged in. But certainly I could list quite a few physical symptoms, all beneficial I believe. ...

... The concept of faith is a subtle one. I don't like the phrase "blind faith." Faith as "anti science," impervious to the evidence of the senses. On the other hand, I know what you mean. We can study in order to seek to manipulate the cosmic order for the specific purposes of the magician. I suppose this might be considered left hand path. Or one can undertake work of a more devotional nature, seeking self improvement and the wisdom to know the right path, and act in alignment with the higher will, God, or buddha nature. And that might be right hand? I'm not sure, I'm just ruminating. But the left always acts in service of the right, even when it does so unconsciously. And evil is always hoist by its own petard. ...

... In the what i'm listening to right now category. I found this. I liked the lyics. ...

... That's the dumbest comment on the Book of Job that I have ever heard. Bill Safire? You gotta be kiddin' me. ...

... I would have to agree. The proof of the pudding. ...

... I can very much relate to Gerard's experiences and sentiments here. That reminds me strongly of some of the experiences I had after my event. Except I didn't think I was going mad. It's just that everyone else did. ...

... the cold is my warm friend... Well, it would save me a fortune in heating bills. on edit: Iceman! Ha ha ha! ...

... I would say yes, it is a big deal. Consider yourself validated. ...

... Anyone who wants a million pounds, raise your hand. ...

... Indeed they have. Maybe I'll email Uri with details of my experiences. Perhaps he'll invite me to supper at that lovely home. ...

... It's like the stuff about demonic possession. You're scaring me! I don't want to be enslaved by "luciferian" forces! Look what happened to Dr Faustus! On the other hand, one can see this strain perhaps in control freak mentality and megalomaniacal tendencies of the ritual magician. I steer clear of all that. Although sometimes I'm tempted. I like swords. on edit: And I don't much relish the thought of falling by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for many days. Or even for a single day. ...

... Thanks for the link man. I just might find time to watch that. Always loved dear old Uri. I'd love to have a good long chat with him. About The Nine etc. ...

... The Fool. ... The Hanged Man. ...

... Often have I been given cause to meditate upon the story of Job. ...

... Perhaps it was the hand of the Great Beast at work. I knew we shouldn't have been talkin' bout the Thoth deck... ...

... This also I said; All that is born must die. Yet am I the birthless. How strange and marvellous! ...

... In shamelessly researching this topic, having thought BKA's statement was in error, I found that Frieda bequeathed all the artwork to some chap, who gave the card plates to the institute. He kept a number of drafts and alternative compositions, some individual pieces which all later sold for up to £6000+ each, I think. That's british pound sterling. ...

... Besides which, the original paintings reside in the Warburg Institute, London. ...

... The cards definitely have an energy about them. Certainly psychedelic. I know there's been a reprint recently. I got some amazon tokens gathering dust. I probably shouldn't. They do look nice trimmed. ...

... Hello Kitty's got a lot to answer for. ...

... Nice one mr marblehead! Brewer and Shipley got me singin' along. One toke over the line, sweet Jesus... Kinda reminiscent of Jim Croce. And I really love Heart and Pat Benatar! I already posted that Heart song in the hearts thread. So lets have some more Pat. Who says rocks a man's game? Heartbreaker! Don't you mess around with me! You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy! The invincible winner! I love that song. And this one. Put up yer dukes, lets get down to it! Why don't you hit me with your best shot? Fire away! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jl_MXrqw0k ...
