Some bobcats in Kentucky are the size of a coyote. Black panthers, mountain lions are here too. Down in Tennessee, folks are allowed to keep just about any animal; certainly, bears, wolves, big cats. Some animals escape or are let loose; one could encounter a tiger in the forest. There are bobcats that hang out with people not very different than a typical house cat. I’m thinking of inviting one to join my circle, there is the difference that a bobcat has the skill and capability to take out a human, but they don’t ever. I know of bobcats coexisting in harmony right alongside dogs on some backwoods homesteads.

Canna continues to find Election Day success, even in places like Montana and South Dakota.

Murcia is richly diverse, great folks from all walks of life, all of us vulnerable to the machine. A two headed dragon type of machine, if one don’t get ya, the other one will. It’s not a good arrangement imo.

Speaking of armored, trying to decide if i should go with bulletproof or emf, so complicated... someone should design and sell a combination protective outfit. Emf protection and bulletproof, also exoskeleton design.

I've read the Bolligen series. Shadow was in there somewheres. Hidden, yet always lurking. You cant have Jung without Campbell. And one should also ponder upon Northrop Frye and Claude Levi-Strauss. Even Freud. To understand Jung's shadow, you will also need to be versed in his other theories: anima/animus, persona, self. It all ties in together. Trying to cherry pick one, like shadow, and disregarding the others, leaves one with an incomplete understanding. The theories have to balance each other.

Have you looked at Scott Meredith's, Tom Bisio, or Hai Yang's commentary on San ti shi ? You could ask them.

Fu Xi and Nu Wa are depicted as having snake legs. Also, the anguiped has this feature and is found in Greco-Roman, Indo, Persian motif and coins. Not sure what it means, but it seems widespread.

Where do I find that new serpent diety thread?

I am not second guessing the Dalai Lama My melancholy is making itself known to me. For me there are no Victor's. It is what it is and it is upon us. Is there a way out ?

Thanks for the link, it's been an ongoing thing my entire life. And since way before my lifetime. Militaries clashing with each other, sons lost. And for what? I am vocally anti war, anti agression. Yet, it seems the entire world is on the brink. When I was younger, I thought we train martial arts so we won't have to fight. It was a path to development, had the Spiritual aspect with it, it helped maintain peace. Now, I wonder if avoiding the fight is possible for any of us. I owe my good health in large part due to Chinese medicine theory, my time spent in meditation, chi kung, taiji, bagua, other arts. My philosophy and spirituality are heavily influenced by Daoism. It is a fascinating journey of body, mind, spirit. These times are tricky, it is stressful, i think this site is useful in many ways, including occasional vents, even rants, among fellow bums, who some of may have an inkling about what we`re going on about, aside from basic humanity. There is always someone here to listen, maybe even jaw back a little. Usually, it sharpens us. Yes, since before my birth, Kashmir, the India/China border. The long standing Greece/Turkish tensions, South China sea, even here inside the US, seems someone's spoiling for a fight. Sons, daughters, everyone's precious lives are under some dark cloud. It’s madness, but it is there staring us all in the face. Our little squabbles here on TDB, maybe someone loses an argument now and then, most always a way to save face is provided, thoughtfully, we are all vulnerable, i am unaware of any long-term bum who hasn't come up on the short side of the stick sometime or other. Up in the Himalayas, two nuclear powers have had hand to hand skirmishes, sticks, stones, fists, basic weapons. It is interesting, and it is sad that bloodshed and lives lost. We can lament over it and scream for it to stop, i don't think its going to stop. The Dalai Lama has taken his position, using his influence. That's part of the reason i wonder if any of us can escape the big thing. I wish you the best, as I wish all bums the best, all humanity the best. The clouds are dark, i am concerned. Let's use our time wisely here and be of service to each other. I see you trying to do that. Thanks for helping keeping Discussions On The Way going.
