  2. What do you think you need?

    Moar practice...which includes virtue and calming the heart and mind, as basics.
  3. Western Symbolism thread

    Agreed. I believe in a lot of what others consider conspiracy theories. So I only use the term when it's not a valid interpretation. For instance, the David Icke reptilian agenda? Conspiracy theory. The Bilderberg Group being shady as ffff? Truth.
  4. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."
  5. Immortals (Xian Shi)

    "Can you see the young and pretty Confident as cops Blooming, laughing in the shops Till the sun turns black Can you see the old and lonely Walking through the park Pushing grocery carts Till the sun turns black Can you see the corporate man He's winning on the telephone His possessions are his throne Till the sun turns black Can you see him in his lounger Watching TV in the dark Waiting for a spark Till the sun turns black Oh oh oh oh oh Who are we Oh oh oh oh oh Who are we Who are we Can you see the working classes Trudging through their days Time goes slowly when you're only waiting Till the sun turns black Can you see the wise man simply Living, loving quietly Every breath he takes eternity Till the sun turns black" http://thechive.com/2012/11/21/its-thanksgiving-you-should-get-away-20-hq-photos-2/

    Oh, I know. There are definitely bad people in the world.
  7. Western Symbolism thread

    That's a kuji-in mudra... I don't think Jay-Z knows much of anything in this field. He's an artist, and someone making it big. ... Also, I'm no Luciferian...I am just a Scott, so please don't think I am actually playing the Devil's Advocate in this discussion. But look up where the word Lucifer actually comes from, and ask yourself if things are as crystal clear as the internet conspiracies suggest. Even Jesus himself is referred to as the morning star, in the book of Revelation...and in Christians the morning star is supposed to rise in their hearts at a certain time, according 2 Peter 1:19, which apparently is a good thing. In popular culture Lucifer has come to mean everything from the devil to alien bloodlines from Mars controlling the population, etc. In actuality, it had something to do with light and the planet Venus (representing love usually as well as heralding the day, which God himself commanded in saying "let there be light"), and was only mistaken for the devil due to a verse about a KING (a human being) that was predicted to fall from his great height, in Isaiah. So literally nowhere in the actual literature is "lucifer" the same thing as "the devil". Read for yourself, in context: http://niv.scripturetext.com/isaiah/14.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer The weird thing about all of this 'evil secret society' idea which has been paraded around in our current culture...consider, if they are actually good people, simply cultivating positivity and trying to help humanity without flaunting it, and living decent lives. Then consider the people who are living in fear, ignorant of the truth, gossipy, literally hating those in secret societies, getting worked up over internet rumors rather than being calm...what they are cultivating. It's like a complete role reversal of who is good and who is evil...which is a thought that blows my mind. I did say "if" though. I am not someone in the know.
  8. First steps

    Check out the first book in my signature below. The practices help to clear the mind, so that it's easier to find truth...connects you with the beauty of the world...heals the mind which heals the body as a byproduct...develops awareness. That is one way.
  9. Corrupt a Wish.

    Wish granted. Now everyone on earth sees each other as only siblings, and all procreation ceases entirely...and the human race ends within 100 years from today. I wish for a piece of cake.
  10. Western Symbolism thread

    I'm with you that a democracy should have totally open information. If I remember correctly, the law of elites having to display things was in the posts by 'hidden hand' on ATS.
  11. Western Symbolism thread

    I've heard that before, as well, from questionable sources. I doubt it's an actual law of the "elites", because the public truly doesn't understand the symbolism. No one really does know what's going on except those that have been taught. If it were a law, these elites would have to be pretty clear and not just leave a bunch of symbols lying around. For instance, by passing the NDAA, or something. ... Also, regarding the 'right to rule'... These secret societies for the most part were the ones that founded America, on the principles of every person's right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". So I think we're seeing the sheepdog and mistaking it for the wolf... ... Yes, I can imagine that a new person in one of these groups could be taught entirely misleading things...for sure. (I think that's what you're saying, but maybe it was something else?) ... By the way...me either!
  12. Western Symbolism thread

    Agreed...and Freemasons, for instance, are seen as major controllers of the world. Both are the total opposite of what's actually true. I can see how people believe these types of things...I even keep it as a possibility in the back of my mind and relate to things like Vigilant Citizen, the concept of Humanae Libertas, or that calling God Lucifer is kind of weird...but you have to consider that there are two ways of understanding the meaning of these symbols: 1) Outsiders invent the meaning for themselves and share it with others, which is either true or false. 2) You join and find out the true meaning. ... By the way, the pic with Lucifer and the Egyptian eye as the capstone...not accurate at all. There's a phrase for this type of information....it comes from the "rumor mill". It's interesting, but please don't believe all that you read on the net.
  13. The truth behind the Law of Attraction

    Stream of consciousness writing can unearth some real creativity. ...maybe that doesn't apply to your design situation though.

  15. Runes

    White wolf! This is an appropriate time to ask you...what do the runes in your signature signify?
  16. Runes

    I'm no expert in this area of study, but it seems that these types of scripts were sort of common back in the day in a lot of cultures. A is Upper Paleolithic writing from Magdelenian cave sites, B is Indus Valley script, C is Greek, D is Runic. (Settegast (p. 28) after Forbes and Crowder, 1979.) I've barely learned a little bit about the roots of languages, and surprisingly, Indian Sanskrit for instance has a lot in common with Western European languages...the root language that all of these stemmed from being called proto-Indo-European, by linguists.
  17. Runes

    But there are runes on the hills, too!
  18. Runes

    Aw, Eskrimador, you just runed this topic.
  19. Runes

    Old schoolers.
  20. Runes

    www.amazon.com/Advanced-Operative-Runology-Weiser-ebook/dp/B00AB02NHW/ This book by Edred Thorsson (Stephen Flowers) was released today.
  21. Activating Kunlun Energy Without the Posture

    That is sort of true, but I was taught by Max to use the abdominal breath...and it's taught as being very important in the new book as well.
  22. Activating Kunlun Energy Without the Posture

    Totally compatible, and even good to do at the same time as kunlun method.

  24. Corrupt a Wish.

    Wish granted. You have become a true immortal (since the only way to have a firm grip on the concept is to live it), but you come to find that you're the only one who has ever actually attained this, and you end up living as long as all of the objects of the universe until all of creation goes back into the void....so you are extremely bored, impatient, and all alone. I wish to only wish for that which won't bring any negative effect!
  25. Did Jesus give transmission to his disciples?

    Edward, thanks for posting that! I'll be looking into Dale Allen Hoffman's other stuff. I have always felt that the English translations of the Bible are way too incomplete (especially with that word, Word), despite the fact that they still convey a lot of great meaning. edit: looking at his website, in the links I came upon this book, which might be a great source to learn similar ideas from.
