Captain Mar-Vell

... Ha ha ha! I gotta say, that made me laugh. Good line for a Valentine's card. ...

... Die, punk, die! stabs punk repeatedly Prog Lives! Just like nine. The Clash weren't punk. A bit punky. The Jam were good. They were'nt punk either. And the Stranglers were almost prog. I guess I'm pretty UK centric. I did Genesis, so I guess we need some Yes as more best of prog. ...

... That's an interesting post good sir. To which I can only add, er, yes I agree. Those were my habits for many years actually, together with meditation and study of the religious and philosophical classics, and what I considered humble but potentially spiritually fruitful work. And other practices which remain amongst my wizardly secrets ha ha ha. So I don't have "experience with either system" really, but I know a little. And intuit a great deal. I'm still looking to learn though. ...

... There is providence in the fall of a Sparrowhawk. Ged it? ...

... Punk is dead. Long live Prog! Them trumpets still blowin' loud. 666 is no longer alone, He's getting out the marrow in your back bone. And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, Gonna blow right down inside your soul. Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon, In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune. ...

... So is that what happened? I became capable of attracting to my own soul the supreme influences of the Celestial Realms? Sounds cool. ...

... The Crowley deck is kinda eye catching. ...

... That sounds very interesting, thank you. It's certainly something to consider. Yes, I may well be in touch, mr kingmonkey sir. ...

... You wouldn't like me if I was hungry. And I am afraid your ignorance is appalling. Lions are atheists? I had to go check that. I searched for Lion Gods. Here's the first link; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maahes But I prefer the scond; http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/liongod.htm I know all about lions. I watched Born Free at least four times. Awww those cute lion cubs! It was my destiny to make this post. ...

... Good old George. And I've been meditating on lion's dens...

... I checked most of that video out, and I have to say, I am very sceptical of what that woman has to say. She has a certain perspective. ...

... Through the Black Hole! Nobody expects the Black Swan event! ...Some who did not fight Brought tales of old to light My 'rocinante' sailed by night On her final flight To the heart of cygnus' fearsome force We set our course Spiralled through that timeless space To this immortal place V. cygnus: bringer of balance I have memory and awareness But I have no shape or form As a disembodied spirit I am dead and yet unborn I have passed into olympus As was told in tales of old To the city of immortals Marble white and purest gold... http://halcyonhierophant.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/con-x-ions.html ...

... Herald's gotta herald. See, I'm getting the urge to post strange stuff now. It's your fault mr songstan sir. ...

... Recalling tale of Aitch Houdini, Gold Key on tongue didst free the Genie! ...

... My event felt like kundalini arising. There were times immediately thereafter when my body was taken over with my consciousness sort of co present. I did strange things. I think I worked powerful magicks, or rather powerful magicks were worked through me by entity/entities unknown. I meditated long and hard about the nature of discarnate entities. I mean, I did meet one, after all. A blazing golden head with flowing wing like streamers of gold from its temples. Golden winged helmet. Visited me. Again. After all these years. Oh god im off make me stop.. Damn, I shouldn't be saying this. But mr songstan sir, you are an interesting character. Emanationism be not risible. Now The Spirit cometh visible! I think I have a lowly consciousness here which doesn't understand much. I suspect higher forces are at work. No, I don't really know what I'm talking about. It's most strange, isn't it? ...

... I'm a big admirer of the work of Steve Yeowell. ...

... points to sig ...

... I'm just catching up with this thread. I've done a lot of reading but one thing that caught my eye was the raising of the heels off the floor. In the aftermath of my event, where my head seemed to catch fire in some curious (electro magnetic?) manner, I began to walk on the front of my feet, with heels raised high off the floor. Somehow this was connected in my mind with the phrase "The Ancient Giants do walk the Earth once more." I seemed to bestride the earth like a Colossus. Metal guru. Hehehe. ...

... I never meant to fry my brain. It was an accident. ...

... Isn't it funny how someone linked to Final Fantasy IV. I never played any of those games until I found myself in hospital recently. My brother kindly lent me his old ds. I played Final Fantasy IV until I completed it. And my poem cycle was originally going to number 72, in harmony with the mystic tarot. But the poems just kept coming! I'll have to take out a few of the weaker ones maybe. ...

... You guys are really makin' me chuckle. I meditated long and hard upon the nature of mortality. The wise accept physical death as part of the natural order. It is often said the desire for enlightenment prevents it. Striving, and all that, attachment to the concept of enlightenment, assuming you know what this term is, or might be used for. I read U G Krishnamurti (not Jiddu, the other, more obscure one. Of course I read a ton of Jiddu before and since.) I took U G at his word when he said you don't want this, this experience I had, it was a catastrophe. Ironically enough, I appeared to go through a similar thing myself, with my symptoms and the ones he described being so similar I at once recognised them when my event began. But perhaps there are a very wide range of such events. Really, I'm quite the noob on the truly esoteric. Mostly I studied what I considered to be Philosophy. Sorry if I'm off topic. ...

... I'm laughin' at no 9. That's the way Dorian is headin'. I better get practisin' my turn undead! ...

... That's great CT! Thanks! Gotta quote that. Speedily accumulate the invincible Dharma Light! I love that bit. ...

... Labels get thrown around. Likely there are spirits. Likely its all in your mind. Perhaps the cosmos is inside your mind. Perhaps there is no your mind. Perhaps there is only Mind. But I shall probably have to go and meditate on Solomon. Ya know, touch up me pentagrams. Re protector deities; Praise Corellon! ...
