I disagree. "Sumeria"? What does Abraham have to do with Lilith? According to your link, the first time Lilith is mentioned anywhere is between 500-700 AD, which is quite late compared to the Old Testament (although later on it also says the word is mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls, dated at about 40-10 BC). The first Jewish source mentioning Lilith was from the 8th-10th century AD. Point is: there is no historical record of any concept of Lilith during the time that the Old Testament was written. None of your stories, such as Lilith leaving Adam, are written of until later in other illegitimate sources. If anyone actually reads the book of Genesis, they will find nothing regarding these ideas. So yeah, this whole Lilith thing is very unlikely...but I suppose it's an interesting thing to explore historically, since the mythology has lasted for quite a while.

This is assumed. Maybe Eve was created at the end of the 6th "day"...meaning there was never a Lilith. There is no Lilith discussed in Genesis. If we're being honest with ourselves we have to say: who knows. Especially when it comes to any "Sky dancers". And even regarding the sky being feminine and the earth masculine, or vice versa...who knows!!! Of what use is this knowledge?

"Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself" is referring to wu wei? How so?

No, I mean that "do unto others what you would have them do unto you" can also mean "do not impose on others in ways that you do not wish for yourself".

I do quite a bit of energy work...don't see why you're assuming anything. The non-action we're talking about here has nothing to do with wu-wei. It simply has to do with not offending others. I use the will to act, yes. Not forcing unless it's something I really wish to achieve.

This is the most honest I've ever seen Jim Carrey be.

True, there is somewhat of a difference between the two. My personal view is that "do unto others" includes the "do not impose" aspect, so it's both about action and non-action. I kind of prefer it in this positive sense, because it's about progress. Non-action is useful for maintaining the status-quo, but taking action is useful for making progress in society.

Boom...awesomeness.

Yah way!

You can disregard JohnC's opinion. I would urge you to consider everything that's said about sexuality here, and weigh it against your own personal experience.

I don't think so, there is a lot of wisdom in many of the world traditions. One example is the teaching of the golden rule. I'm totally with you on the "gnowledge"/Lamp unto thyself idea. It is worth discussing, if possible, since this is the purpose of many traditions. Anyway, "gnowledge" is related to wisdom, in the sense that a person with gnowledge is a lot less likely to be doing unwise things, since they already feel complete in themselves. Wisdom is related to it, because if you're doing unwise things, you're less likely to have the space in your life for gnowledge. You will be too busy dealing with the consequences of "missing the mark".

This semester I am taking an Anishinaabemowin language course! Very excited. I'm not sure what their culture has in the way of ancient wisdom or medicine type teachings...this site has some information: http://www.anishinaabemdaa.com/culture.htm

NEO!!!!!

Well, I'm not sure about all of that, but yes what you're talking about really does seem to require a new vocabulary.

The latter...simply because the word isn't defined that way. Why did people start using the word incorrectly, to mean something beyond phenomena? Was it a mistranslation into English or something? Excellent.

I don't understand why the word "wisdom" is used in this sense.

Taiji with an anarchy symbol overimposed???? I love you.

Baolin Wu in his qigong book teaches to breathe every 4 heartbeats. Inhale for 4 hearbeats, exhale for 4...continuously without pausing. Something FYI.

That didn't really answer her question. Do you know what magic gateway actually is, exorcist?

Aladdin is much better.

Soon I will start reporting you for trolling. You are wasting everyone's time here, and in my opinion knowingly spreading disinformation almost constantly.
