  1. edited. forgot what i was going to say.
  2. I agree I feel loyal to the community also. It just seems like a slap in the face when the regurgitators think they are assisting. Rather than humor, it really is trolling to instigate a flame war.

    If you are good at spatial awareness may want to just try meditation. Who, or what you will most likely only be able to find by meditation. They dont exixt in our dimension. Or if you feel uncertain just try prayer. I am sympathetic. pink light
  4. Sorry cat, i am not picking on you in particular, just a thought. Most forums are like this: 1. People who have read books only and consider themselves teachers. 2. Some of these regurgitate material from books 3. Some conclusions are wild and most likely not real conclusions. 4. Most cannot get their head to understand others pwerspectives. To do so would just hurt too much in their noggins. My statement is all forums are really trivial. You dont know what you are really getting unless you have a good experience elsewhere built up. Sorry the truth hurts. Its doesnt make forums bad, just that you have to consider that if you dont know everyting about the subject; about 90-95% are not going to know the answers to your questons either and may give some random answer.

    You arent being very clear about what you want me thinks,. Electra, but you dont want mythology,. So do you want Chinese mythology?: Well as I know it is one of the seven moon stations of the White Tiger constellation. The key star of the moon station is Epsilon Tau. Chinese character symbol for it is: having to do with water. Maybe rain catcher? haha. Sorry. Electra would be part of this moon station but the mantra and hand seal eludes me right now. haha,. Divine mother? Doesnt that sound like Kwan Yin? North American Natives especially plains peoples claim "White Buffalo Woman" was from pleiadies. Notice the simliarity with Kwan Yin and the previous? It has a few different uses in Folklore/Chinese magic. I guess I am not understanding what you are trying to do. Are you trying to perform a specific ritual? Are you trying to contact someone?

  8. it Written Concept Here
  9. Yes, I can remember it like yesterday. the girl of 21 years who was "furniture". Well of course for the movie's sake. Ive noticed the trend to marry young among the rich. Probably fitting it becomes even more extremem I suppose. I can say this by stepping outside myself in my mind. I guess after clearing my mind for a moment it is good to have fun. When fun is all you have, then thats when fun can seriously put you out of sorts. Excellent verse, especially for understanding "messages". Bread crumbs on the trail. Like in a fable. They both distract him... ...and guide him. Pragmatism, reason, and common sense have little place in these current primitive... ...world views. All conflict is interpreted as part of a cosmic struggle between Good and Evil -Friedrich Nietzsche (edited to change focus, itallics my word added.)
  10. Control a world? I call it reduce, reuse and recycle. I say it is giving everyone a fighting chance. Might be more difficult in some ways, but if you feel the need to fight all armies are guerilla warefare groups used to take down mob-like activity. Of course you can also make your food writing if you feel you are of an aggressive nature. We send criminals and force them to do creative writing and various arts as punishment. Teach them creativity. But of course if you cant contribute, we can use as soylent green. Personally I spent a small amount of time in Mongolia, and admired their ability to work together. For different treats they made, everyone had to work together to make a said dessert. No stoves. I think when people work together they enjoy things and appriciate them more. We might not appriciate the extra work, but i think life will be more enriching for everyone. Thanks to newer information technologies, and chemical-mechanical machines, people will be able to focus on enriching their life. Who cares about useless tech that makes us slobs? Also all of Taoism and Spiritual arts will be readilily available to learn. I cant see a furniture policy. Doesnt seem natural. I think my life may be very nomadic until I die. No regret, if life has it in for me its the path to take. I will probably be seen as a demon for the first hundred years. After that people might worship me as a god.
  11. Turtles are cool. Any friend of a turtle is a friend of mine.
  12. Kudos to the Moderator Team

    its a tough job. thanks
  13. I agree. I think one should also consider how what one writes will be recieved. Sometimes someones view is so different from yours that its best to take a step back and not initiate anything. I mean whats the point? It would only start a flame war.
  14. Quality tea ware for Chinese teas

    Very awesome topic. I have been a tea fan for years. Eventually I settled on powdered Sencha, and Japanese Teapots from a japanese seller to cut costs. EMS is just so expensive. I still drink JIAOGULAN tea which is a popular longevity tea. Other cost effective methods are the "french press" for making infusions of tea or herbs. I still use roasted dandelion root from time to time for flushing toxins. Be advised by a doctor on this before using. Pink Light
  15. Maybe we should take it down a bit. It is easy to become heated up about these things. I understand some humor now and then, but to try to permanently derail and continue to do so on a topic is just obscene really. As an example sometimes the initial response should give you some idea how people feel about your point. If you get negative responses it is time to take your ball and go home. I know people do go off on tangents, and it takes extra work to ignore these if you are not looking for that material. But it shouldnt be something new to be able to determined how aware or (dare I say how enlightened- someone is. I dont like useing the term enlightened because people have so many different ideas on what it means. yes it sounds awful to draw attention to it. being able to calmly deal with people who do have "no control" should be a first skill learned. But being too serious can darken yourself also, as well as being incoherent. But some dont have that, so maybe we should have a rule about it. It may make the forum less relaxed and more strict but if that is what everyone wants, I wont contest it.
  16. I suppose I should be more serious. Well how about orders at restaurants being messed up? This wouldnt happen in darth banes world. People would slow down and make sure everything is correct. How about teenagers swearing? Have you heard how retarded f*** u or F*** this or F*** that is especially comming from someone who tends to use expletives improperly or without any creativity? How about how it sounds and the excessive use? I mean fecking awesome is understandable. I think they should be made to take a creative writing class to learn the use of the word f*** better seriously. And if they can create and say things more creatively and express their view so much better it should be a virtue they didnt have. how about youre driving down your road in your rolls royce going the same speed as everyone else right? This is how people are supposed to drive according to traffic laws. All of the sudden someone merges with traffic and is going much slower. Or they begin racing and zipping in and out through traffic cutting people off? This doesnt make me mad, but the potential is for accidents. no im not against farmer bob who cant drive in a city, or grandpa joe they cant help it. My solutions would deter this behaviour. Anarchy as a political state. The idea is to have and train people with enough powers to govern an area they are appointed without being corrupted by said powers. government infrastruture would be nil. Aw, someone needs a hug. Kidding, hope you too can take a joke, i see more seriousness everyday on here. I have traveled well, but I am not from bria. Pink Light
  17. What would you give up to live without oil?

    Even if I could help you set up some off-grade solar panels from the aeronautical industry? My point, and trying to stay on topic but I could really do without most major conveniences. I think running water is something that I might not be able to deal with. Just give me a huge reverse osmosis machine and I would be fine. In fact I could share it with others if they help maintain it and treat it right. Being serious now, I would like to apologize for my bit of humor earlier that unintentionally brought my posts off-topic. Pink Light
  18. Yes you sure may.
  19. Free Kudzu Doughnuts! From Kudzu Flour, sweetened with stevia... Fried in Hemp seed oil (of course comparable to market hemp seed oil we wouldnt want any THC in there! Well maybe after the other nations are dead. )
  20. What would you give up to live without oil?

    I hear kudzu is food. How about kudzu doughnuts from kudzu flour?
  21. What would you give up to live without oil?

    What no takers aw you guys just are not very adventurous. Ha ha ha. Did you read my post? 99% of the population would be gone if we did that
  22. What would you give up to live without oil?

    How about you deal with me becoming world ruler? Vote for David Gog Bane. Price of the voting ticket is $1, which comes in the form of a voucher swearing allegiance to the anarchic taoist state of magog. You get a pope card stating you are a designated priest of the nation of magog. I will abolish all standing religion, business and political systems and part of the money of theses systems will go into creating a unified "direct" religion with repositories of all faiths similar to bahai, but in practice cutting out needless fluff of many religions. Why damaging or elaborate processes? There will be no priesthood. Grounds are maintained by maintenece workers. Copys will be made of all works important/arcane. Originals kept at a secure location. Times will be given to gather and commune with nature regularly. o Advancement of water electrochemical engines. o Return to natural food production, dependancies on fruit and ancient types of grains. Camellia Sinensis promotion and production. Radix Notoginseng promotion and production. o Destruction of genetic engineered sources such as corn which has been over-hybridized. o Salt/Ash seeding in atmophere to drive atmospheric temperature temperatures down along with cultured tundric bacteria that breaks down hydrocarbons, toxins, PCB(s). o Going to be unpopular ***Call for a voluntary suicide, anyone who can consider that their life purpose is over to consider suicide may help society to come*** o Any advancements recognition will go directly to the people who accomplished these advancements. No more government or business breakthroughs at the cost of humanity's toil. o Gossip, antisocial tendancies will be unaccepted social behaviour and will lead to being studied by psychologists. o Gold, Gems, Precious metals will no longer hold a value. o Back to a system of bartering. o Tree planting will be promoted at payment in raw bcc amino acids. Tree varieties must be many different varieties. Stipulations to be announced. o Trees must not be cut down. Fines imposed unless tree is diseased. o Removal of most elm trees, except for a select few at some locations to eradicate pests. Pink Light

  24. There be Dragons

    Your practice didnt seem like anything I had heard of as an eastern tradition. Thus, I just thought it might be new age. If it is, can I ask where you got this soulgazing from? Google Search - Only shows "New Age" type meditations. Hence the reason I thought you were getting into some type of New Age dreamwork type stuff. Search results return: roman soul gazing, Tantric Soulgazing(for couples), Couple Soulgazing, Celtic Soulgazing, Wiccian Soulgazing (Shadowgazing) Of course the internet, with the exception of there being many similar new age practices, is not the end all be all of all spiritual traditions. The only thing remotely similar seems to be Tantric Soulgazing (eye gazing) to eastern thought. This requires a love partner as a couple meditation. This is a Hindu Tantra meditation. Do you have a reference in rare and obscure literature on Taoism you would like to share? Pink Light
