Ok ... what are atoms made from?

I wonder if G#d ever bothered to notice that Egyptian bricks were traditionally built without straw.

Even there you have a choice of several - Atum, Atum-Ra, Ra, Amen-ra and so on.

the Egyptians had a lot of gods I was wondering which one you were referring to.

I'm fairly sure the answer is no.

Did he - which G-d was that?

How dare you!

Can you give us some details as to what cultivation practices you have been doing? Very generally speaking I find it is best to note any changes like flows of energy and so on - but not to 'follow' them. In other words just continue with your practice otherwise you end up chasing your energies tail so to speak. Just see them a positive signs. Most of practice until you become advanced is laying the foundations - that is restoring energy, conserving energy and removing blockages. Your meridians and vessels have to become reasonably clear and charged with energy. At the same time it's important to cultivate stillness in your heart-mind with so called formless meditation.

A feeble attempt at one, yes.

Not one for quotes normally but .... From Gampopa's Jewel Ornament ... "Suppose some Inidian merchants go to fetch jewels from the outer sea, but in the middle of their journey, in some desert, they become exhausted and think they cannot go on. Then as they are abut to turn back, their leader by his miraculous powers creates a huge city for their refuge. ... "Thus all Sravakas (Hearers) Think that they have attained Nirvana To them the Victorious One (Buddha) says That this is rest but not Nirvana."" In other words it is possible to mistake resting in the unsullied mind brought about by purification for actual enlightenment and it is indeed a dead end.

Will tambourines, thick rimmed spectacles, woollen jumpers and sandals with socks be purged from our world?

I thought the archaic form appropriate in the immediate pre-appocalyse.

Art thou the anti-christ which was foretold of yore?

Is the Pope Jewish now?

As long as you have your hand up that's ok.

That's right demote the beavers - beaverist!

Twitter is being consumed by the regressive left.

My understanding is that 'man' was originally more a verb than a noun. For instance people who managed estates, villages and so on in the Domesday Book could be either a man or a woman - but were referred to as the man. So man-kind (where kind is from words like 'kin' meaning 'family of'.) So mankind would include any beings who have this function of managing (i.e. shape or control) their environment - and so I think many hominids could be included within mankind - the variation being only in the extent to which they do this. Animals inhabit and generally speaking adapt to their environments - while mankind tends to shape his. Some examples of say beaver lodges and dams and so on would be a kind of proto-man behaviour.

Ayn Rand was not a man.
