  1. Thank you for your service is just another feel good trite meme. I really get tired of hearing it! There are times when I think the draft should be reinstated thereby forcing all to serve in some capacity. No deferments for bone spurs or other bullshit. Why? Then the U.S. government will be forced to stop using the military as a war of aggression across the world. The primary function of the U.S. military is to stand guard for imperialist corporate interests! E.g. the recent remark by Trump in which he stated that the military had secured the Syrian oil fields
  2. I have much more life experience than you at this time. I served in the U.S. Military from 70-75 during the peak and end of Nam and after I was discharged, I spent almost seven years in college earning my degree. Furthermore, I knew a few of the guys killed in that war whose names are on the Vietnam Memorial wall. Wake up and know that life is not according to your belief systems!
  3. Your remarks are really annoying and patronizing! Hidden codes in movies? Hidden truths buried in time which were written 3000 years ago and only the elite such as yourself have knowledge of such. The advent of writing in the form of cuneiform symbols dates back to around 3400 years ago in Sumeria. I suppose you are able to read cuneiform? Been reading too much Zacharia Sitchin? By proceeding from the erroneous conclusion that some of us are lowly ignorant fools as compared to a mighty superior intellect such as yourself is preposterous!
  4. 3000 years ago? Why not provide a reference to that supposition? That time frame was near the beginning of the Axial Age which was the formation of city states and monotheism.
  5. You are claiming to be unplugged from the so called Matrix which is a movie? Therefor, you are qualified to be the savior of other minds from what? I would suggest reading Jacques Baudrillard "Simulacra and Simulation" which the movie was based on before venturing into saving the world fantasies. Baudrillard concluded that truth does not exist, so any truth based belief system that you take seriously, has no basis in reality.
  6. Climate Change

    If you care to discuss the science of anthropogenic global warming that is fine. This thread in particular contains a lot of factual information.
  7. Obviously, you fail to understand the joker archetype.
  8. Just asking a question. I had much to say on the Do What Though Wilt thread, but your strident imposition to other points of view does not lend well to fruitful discussion.
  9. Climate Change

    I know you are new to this site, but positing government conspiracies as fact does not lend to this conversation. I briefly read the Geoengineering site and was not impressed. Mr. Wigington is not a climatologist or has any degrees in science as far as I can tell. I recommend reading the rules as set down by the owner a few months ago.
  10. You said you had a seizure? Are you prone to this condition? On medication?
  11. Climate Change

    In addition to the above, food crop failures will prove disastrous in causing mass migration and starvation. Food crop failure due to drought is the main cause of migration in Syria which is one of the reasons Assad was killing his own people! Food crops have a narrow range of adaptation and any change in light and temperature, will affect the growing season.
  12. Mantra/tantra for sex

    Do you date or even have a social life? Involuntary celibate?
  13. Mantra/tantra for sex

    Why does this site attract 12 year olds? They come on here with grand expectations and not a clue about being aware.
  14. Climate Change

    Ramifications of this are really scary!
  15. Full Lotus is a state of being.

    I think the purveyors of the efficacy of the full lotus pose is more hype than substance. I have not in all my research found any substance to back up this claim.
  16. Do What Thou Wilt

    Lots of ripped abs in 300.
  17. Do What Thou Wilt

    I typed that out on my phone while on the job site. If you are serious and want to learn I am certain I can point out references. Let me be clear, I am not here to think for you! My clients asserted their will in what they wanted done. I hired a contractor to do the job for me in accordance to my will, and further, my clients pay me money in accordance to their will after the job is completed. Furthermore, the contractor in question wanted to be paid in cash in accordance with his will.
  18. Do What Thou Wilt

    The will is a complex process which many strive to simply. Fluidity of time as well as other realms are not separate from an individual’s will. An acute awareness is vital.
  19. Impunity Watch

  20. Impunity Watch

    I think this piece by Tom Morello fits in with this topic. The lyrics describe what I have seen in here in the U.S.
  21. Do What Thou Wilt

    Help in what way? Did you stop and think to inquire if anyone needs your help here? I usually hesitate to post songs here given that the lyrics may be misunderstood. But, this piece by Lera Lynn has much depth. BTW I think I saw her in the Santa Fe WholeFoods this summer.
  22. Do What Thou Wilt

    I also purchased and read most of Kenneth Grant's books. He took a different slant than Crowley.
  23. Do What Thou Wilt

    I put in bold the operative phrase which is apropos to this conversation. I have met many who have failed to proceed with caution and became ungrounded basket cases. Santa Fe is full of such individuals. You are most wise in realizing where not to tread!
  24. Do What Thou Wilt

    Dr. Christopher Hyatt and Dr. Israel Regardie both of whom were part of the O.T.O. in Phoenix required all members to undergo Jungian Analysis as well as Reichian body work. The results of which I have no knowledge of. Although, Hyatt was a real piece of work and I can't vouch for his character since I never met him.
  25. Do What Thou Wilt

    When I read what was available of Crowley's writings back in the late 80's early 90's I realized that without a thorough study of all his writings, I would be taking much out of context. The ten volume set of the "Equinox" was only available for a high price at the time as well as other of his books. Also it was important to sort out, legend and lore, as well as rumors and lies, surrounding Crowley.
