Story of Atlantis Part 1 - Ice Age and Deluge
Papayapple replied to Michael Sternbach's topic in The Rabbit Hole
That's crushing Nungali, but you haven't really answered anything, just pushed it away. I believe it'll be hard to stick to Atlantis solely, as long as we don't establish what the Egyptians could and couldn't do. Better do that than to mess around trying to make sense of some psychic's accounts. But you've got a point. Someone, somehow built it. Just like anything else. Clearly they didn't have building cranes and diamond plate saws. It took people 200 years to build Notre Dame. Isn't it more likely that the scientists got their "20 years" wrong? -

I did and it's fascinating. It suggests many conclusions. So your point is, graciles were there way earlier then it is assumed? -

Not exactly sure what you mean here. Which is which then? -

" A further division of AMH into "early" or "robust" vs. "post-glacial" or "gracile" subtypes has since been used for convenience. The emergence of "gracile AMH" is taken to reflect a process towards a smaller and more fine-boned skeleton beginning around 50,000–30,000 years ago.[58] " Yeah thats what I mean. -

Well but says right there they didn't settle until 12,000BC -

Remember folks- the intelligent human species as we know it appears no sooner than 50-70k years ago. Which... actually may have coincided with the last big peak at the graph you posted. But whether or not there was a civilization before 10,000BC, it must have been in it's bronze age at best. Otherwise they'd leave more traces of themselves. IMO -
Hello and welcome! That's some interesting set of books I have not heard about. Can you talk a little about your dragon kung fu style?

Adding Qigong to "Western" Movement practice
Papayapple replied to Echo's topic in Daoist Discussion
Probably the latter. At least that's what they say. I know a juggler though, who told me he goes "freestyle" with qigong and emulates it's mechanisms in his juggling! But it's the circus crowd, you know. They're nuts -
Nice to meet you! Have fun and check out the chatroom as well!

Perfection is achieved when there is nothing left to take away
Papayapple replied to Lost in Translation's topic in Daoist Discussion
Wow this is interesting. I could do without a washing machine. I'd use one shirt over and over again, hand wash is no problem then. But no record player! Well, perhaps toward the end of my life I might do without that too. Her library seems to consist mainly of encyclopedias. I wonder how's that. -
Living in perpetual hell due premature awakening

Oh you should really give yourself more credit -
I dunno. But what comes to mind first is that life itself came out of water. Water is also most crucial to our survival. Damn, almost forgot we are water!

Everyone post some favorite quotes!
Papayapple replied to GrandTrinity's topic in General Discussion
" Start to stop doing what you know to be wrong. Start stopping today. Don’t waste time questioning how you know that what you’re doing is wrong, if you are certain that it is. Inopportune questioning can confuse, without enlightening, as well as deflecting you from action. You can know that something is wrong or right without knowing why. Your entire Being can tell you something that you can neither explain nor articulate. Every person is too complex to know themselves completely, and we all contain wisdom that we cannot comprehend.

The Pandora's Box - 130GB of Occult books
Papayapple posted a topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
This is a post containing a collection of mterials that is sure to raise the heartrate of pretty much any occultist who tends to spend considerable time skimming intriguing titles(perhaps more than actual reading, and practicing!). Some consider it absurd, but Aren't the Christmas gifts there to spoil us a little?- 1 reply

Very interesting thread. Scrying is something that I intended to get into for some years, have really good books on it, but so far I could not find that good of a reason to practice it. I've done it with a candle once. With almost closed eyelids I was seeing an amazing dance of living sparks stretching and bending in all directions. But you're saying it can translate into "reading" people and events more deeply?

is there something wrong with me or has the notification sound changed to an oldschool synthwave beep? LOL

I would like to start a loose discussion about any methods resembling the so called holotropic breathing. Personally, I have recently experienced a great surge of chi in my hands during an intense tantra session, which involved that type of breath(combined with syncing the breath with ones partner). What is the use, purpose, place of it in other practices?
-
Oh I only know it in most vague way. Breathe fast and shallow, till you get sort of lightheaded. Then continue for as long as possible

I noticed today that it is a lot easier to deal with most negative emotions in comparison to these particular ones. Or maybe these just tend to last longer? Pain(emotional or mental) can be significantly softened by imagining someone being sorry for you. You can even pity yourself("oh I'm so unfortunate! I deserve compassion"), same for depression. Not a fix, you could say, but works for most of us well enough to prevent immediate breakdowns. Loss and grief: well you can at least be sure that it will pass gradually and not ever come back as strongly and again, people would pat you in the back. And so on. But those three can be a lot more tricky. Especially the last one. Regret- you can tell yourself you will try to be better next time, guilt- you can sort of justify your actions and stances, but there's no guarantee people are going to comfort you(depends what is it that you did and how forgiving your peers are). And shame? Well nothing is gonna work haha! It comes again and again, years after years and years after the event. Shit I still sometimes feel shameful about things I did in kindergarden! To the point of spitting curse words suddenly and uncontrollably.
