blue eyed snake

I saw an eurasian wren in my garden, very small quick birdie that usually arrives here in my yard when winter is coming. It's a beautiful beastie, very quick with its petite tail sticking up. But winter does not seem to come here, temperatures should be about 5 degrees, but they are much higher. Some days it's still summery outside. As i'm quick to get colds when winter arrives for me that is good, but strange.

this post gives a wealth of information, thanks for that! Some years ago a piece of small research has been done in my country. They asked energetic healers to place their hands in absolute dark boxes and then measured the amount of biophotons in the box. When this baseline was established they asked the healers to do whatever they do when healing a patient. the amount of measured biophotons changed upwards in an enormous amount ( I lost the article due to a crashed compuer, will look for it but if memory served me right it wassomething like the power of three more.) when asked what they did they told the researcher they were giving healthy information to the patient so that the body culd start healing itself. when i read that it was a sort of wonder for me, now it seems so obvious. it also put the phrase shedding light on something in a whole new light or, I do not know the phrase in English but something like: do not hide your light under a bushel

yes, that's how it happened

thank you

this is torture for someone who cannot eat gluten and cheese anymore, that looks sooo tasty who said that bread with egg is convenience food...

I think he means micro cosmic circulation with the abbreviation MCC ( my sifu call it small cosmic circulation, means just the same) the words orbit and circulation both mean: going round and round and round in the same groove. I'm taught not to ' do' the MCO, after a time it just began streaming/flowing by itself, a very strange feeling it was. I wonder what the secret door is

I thought this an informative thread, regardless of what the original poster thinks of it.

always good to make someone happy it was in part your vehement posts that made me research the matter some more. combined with my own illness, the search for causes brought me to vaccinations too I'll read the link, adding to knowledge always worthwhile and, what you may not know, we have a poliolike illness here in the lowlands, but ( if i remember it right) it's a virus that takes hold in the nose/throat instead of in the intestines. first symptoms look like common cold or flu, then pretty soon paralysis of limbs and breathing system kicks in. several small children are hospitalized and there is not much ( really no) hope they'll recover. It reminds me of the children's diseases, measles, mumps and rubella. After they started vaccinating several other new kid-illnesses with fever , throatproblems and spots came up. And chickenpox seems to have become much worse. But I still think sometimes a vaccination may be better then not, we do have outbreaks of polio here in the lowlands. also something like tetanus, i think it's pretty stupid to vaccinate babies, where would they get tetanus?? but when you're having a wound contaminated with bad dirt, then i think the bad aspects of the vaccination are to be preferred over getting tetanus. as to group immunization, i still think that ring-vaccination maybe a useful instrument. We had a sort of meningitis here, some ten years ago I think, they used ring-vaccination and that was that. very soon after they added a vaccine to the standard babycocktail...but never in all those years has a new outbreak of this specific illness been reported. so I'm still thinking that it is about balance, but the balance has shifted mightily, thanks on the bright side, more and more elderly people are refusing the fluvaccin, and there are some family doctors voicing concerns about both the flu- and the babycocktails, but its a very slow business ( now I did write a post about this can of worms...oh well)

thank you

to me, heart means compassion and forgiveness

It's an enormous can of worms, i will not go into it. but if I had known what I know now I would not have give my child all the vaccines he has now ( and I did already give him not all that was advised) I think I would have given him none at all, and polio when he was grown somewhat ( say at least 4 years old) or when an outbreak of it taking place. do your own research and make your own conclusions

do you say here that the term bodhi means what is talked about in that video?

he left us so good music and songs time moves on, i feel like I'm getting old

ah, that's good! i've no doubt about it either, having had a nde as a teenager. Could you point me to a text that tells more about the way buddhists think about what happens after the heart stops ticking? In language suited to a layman

err, i'm not from the states, but as a kid i joined scouting, I thought it would be what the term implies. learning to track, making knots, building a campfire, making bow and arrow and shooting with them. I looked forward to it. then I found that I was required to wear a dress...ever tried to climb a tree in a dress? or gathering wood for a fire, building and stoking it? dresses get in the way. All the girls were doing was some stupid games with clapping and singing, but the boys were doing all the things I wanted. My membership was shortlived by now scouting over here has both mixed and separate groups. Not every scoutinggroup is set up same. As long as the kids are kids the program is the same. There are separate sleeping arrangements i think. for mixed groups when they grow up they stay in the same groups but the activities become somewhat different. growing boys have a need for a lot of physical competition and roughing each other up a little. They get that chance, the girls tend to want to talk more and get that chance. But they are still the same group and have activities together too. leading is done both by men and women, preferably with a scouting background themselves and of course the older scouts have responsibility for groups of younger scouts. It seems to work well I do not see any leftist or rightist things in it. just kids having a good time and at the same time learning about nature, companionship and honour. And adults working towards that end

some friendly bum has been searching on the web and sent me this link to a pdf, it comes up for free http://www.nalandainstitute.org/pdfs/articles/Loizzo-2016-Annals_of_the_New_York_Academy_of_Sciences.pdf read and enjoy

yes we are, much research has been done on it, but mainstream still laughs at it

thanks, as I said, no knowledge, just some associations here. but i still wonder what created that bumpy feeling...
