  1. Eight billion years later.

    Having these long term thoughts about survival theories. Read or watched doco on planet earth or really our solar system. Problem is our sun will supernova in about 8 billions years. So now we are problem solving,what to do? The idea. Start calculations now. How can we use this planet as a space ship,to travel the universe. Well there is no rush,it is a long ways off. All input welcome.
  2. Emotions and spirituality

    Emotions can be difficult,depending on how reactive we are. Maybe there is room to be less reactive. Stop understand what you are feeling,this is helpful in understanding ourselves. Dwelling in patience,observing situation unfold,these are tools that help us see beyond the emotion. Sometimes emotions continue,like daily reruns,can last many years. Letting go can be helpful,this is a choice to move on. Yesterday is history,the future will unfold without need for anxiety. Now is the time of your life,enjoy.
  3. Watching The Birds

    Beautiful little blue wren,or Superb blue wren. We have a resident population around the house garden. Pesky little darlings,they sit on the car window and fight the mirrors. Do the same to house Windows. Cute,but they leave droppings which they mess up whilst still fresh. We have placed a mirror in the garden to take some of the pressure. At it for hours during the springtime. Ooh ooh,it starting to rain,October has finally decided to rain,is it Halloween now.
  4. Is the earth round/spherical?

    Our planet may be round or spherical,similar in shape to all the other planets. Is the universe round,does it have a boundary,what's the view like from the other side. So many questions.
  5. Poison the rats or what can anyone suggest.

    Last night again very quiet,started practicing ratgong but really no need. So if we had bought rat bait,then when the rats had become quiet. Success would be attributed to the poison. Happy not using poison. Tolerance is not always easy. There is less objection after we discovered the rats were native marsupials,also relief we did not poison them. Impermanence has triumphed. A case of doing without doing,can occur when letting go of ones anxiety.
  6. The Happiness of Fish

    Happy fish,do fish feel happiness? Or are they content after devouring another fish. When frenzied into a pack of sharks eating a whale for six weeks,happy fish? Fish show it is possible to survive.
  7. Alcohol is a dangerous drug.

    Thankyou Andrei, My grandfather would share a bottle of wine with my grandmother,during a meal. Usually they would finish the same bottle with the evening meal. Never saw either drunk. Roll back the clock,in those days,manual labor was used for everything plus horses. No ibiprofin,self medication with alcohol,treated mental illness as well as many physical discomforts. Cold weather or the effects of cold weather has seen self medication,doesn't really help with the cold,can make you less concerned.
  8. The Happiness of Fish

    Travelling at the speed of light,theories suggest of growing younger or not aging. Time is a construct,there is no time.
  9. Eight billion years later.

    Thankyou thelerner, This music thing is just another drug,feel stoned,enjoyed it though. Must abstain,back on the wagon,and a lie down.
  10. Poison the rats or what can anyone suggest.

    Antechinus marsupial. The ones at our place have no tails,or thin short ones. They abound in the local area,digging large colonies along the creek and surrounds. The vigorous sounds we audienced may relate to their reproduction cycle. The males are at it until they perish,the offsprings birth is timed to coincide with the warmer weather when there is an explosion of insects hatching. Last night was very quite only very modest scratching about. Maybe all the males are done for,and maybe what's left will soon depart for hunting insects,hope so. One other point,our jack russel Bella passed away about six weeks ago,aged 14yo,so animals have moved in.
  11. Suggestions for a Simpler Living

    Hi iBee, Fasting maybe a good start. Food of all soughts is available,hence we are all getting fat. A few days fasting,helps change our perception and perspective. Try it for yourself.
  12. Eight billion years later.

    Moon spaceship sounds good,maybe able to dialup a full moon as required. Technical development,is no longer dependant on war as it has been. Inventors scramble to produce when they have 'something'. This iPad thing,Internet,all good ideas,we are talking across the globe,what next? Sit back relax,we are only having fun for now,none of us will be involved in any future planetary propulsion. It all belongs to our kids,they will decide their future. Rebirth may involve some of us,now I feel a glitch in the matrix.
  13. Suggestions for a Simpler Living

    Hello iBee, Your journey to inspirational lifestyle has already begun,continue your search and your path will become clear.
  14. Is the earth round/spherical?

    Perspective seeds our point of view.
  15. As I write,I watch the galahs and sparrows,gathering the scattered seed thrown to them. They seem happy getting by on what the world offers to them. Thankyou DreamBliss,the path is yours,may your journey continue.
  16. Is the earth round/spherical?

    Hi Marblehead, Down under,sure. Flat,sure. Round,sure. Spherical,yep,why not? Has anyone felt the earth spinning with a bias or wobble. And time,'quickening',faster and faster we go. Thankyou Marblehead,your post are a treat for all.
  17. Electric cattle fence may be a safe practice,to experiment,we use a green blade of grass to test electric fences. It will give plenty of energy,if you touch it with bare hands,but shouldn't electrocute,well not unless you get tangled with the electric fence,repeated shocks could be difficult to cope with. As a disclaimer,suggest you devise you own experiments with it,please report anything shocking. Any short term rise in chi energy will be short lived,no longer than the electric pulse.
  18. Wild parrots

    Thanks Nungali, Years ago I grew some pine nut trees from seed,they are still growing well. Never get many pine nuts cause the black cockys,rip the cones open and get the pine nut. They are shy,so don't see them much,usually they can heard. We have these gang gang cockatoos,similar to galah,bit darker,they rip through the tree tops eating seeds. Do you get King parrots,they sometimes fly into the shed,all fun to watch.
  19. Cloud Appreciation

    Thankyou dustybeijing, The best thing about clouds is rain. We can't manage without it. Could do with a drop,right now.
  20. Is the earth round/spherical?

    Well round,spherical, When I was a kid it was the flat burbs,now we live in hilly country,undulating. Nullarbor pretty flat. So is the earth round or spherical,it really is so much more. Different for everyone. Round maybe can be described as that round spherical planet the bluish green one over there.
