What makes you say that? I think I understand (intuitively) what you mean, but it is by no means absolute.

I seek not to justify, GP, I seek not to justify, but my doctor owes me an explanation!

While we're at it, what's up with Tall Poppy Syndrome? Is anyone familiar with this? It's widely practised in Australia and I think Canada but I'm not sure. Anyone?

Power and aggression is not wrong (though it may not be right for everyone) in and of itself - it's what you do with it. I discovered aggression within myself, now I've begun a new project and I'm working on an album. I think to have the intention for the energy of aggression to be used purposefully and/or creatively is crucial. If you don't, it's too dangerous.

Or perhaps edible "twine" made from Onions? Just need the right slicer.

Onions made of twine, my friend, onions made of twine...

Unravelling truth like balls of twine

Thanks for your input, BKA. My latest thinking on the sum total of all my experiences is that they've likely been composed from a number of different things, and have been more complex than I've been aware of until recently. So yes, my dabbling could have brought to the surface issues that were purely internal (and probably did), but the fact of the matter, I feel, is that (up to many) actual people have been involved as well - things add up. I can say quite certainly that (in addition to being abused as a kid - I'm still getting a lot of interesting stuff coming up from that one, actually....) I have been spied on, mind-controlled and attacked in very severe ways - it doesn't matter to me if anyone on here believes me or not because it's the truth...my mind has been more warped (in the wrong kind of way) than any mind should ever be, but I know how to take care of myself now. If you'd experienced what I have you'd understand.

Yes it is, thank you Skymutt. Let's keep it civil now, mmm? Good luck to you. .

With even a little Zanshin and some ingenuity, one can get in some good footwork training amongst a large crowd.

I take nothing back, best wishes to you.

Beautiful song.

P.S Don't put Butter in the Cupboard unless it (the Cupboard) is Refrigerated. Chickens before Eggs or Eggs before Chickens? What does it matter if the Butter melts? Koan.

Skydog, I saw the last few posts before you deleted them (quoted from a medium) and I'll just say this: I think it's a very good idea, even necessary, to seriously question anything that a medium has written down...as I'm sure we all know, a medium is someone who channels entities - how can you really trust a post about the Higher Self from medium? Who's to say it's not some Trickster from The Ether that's doing the talking? I like you, but in honesty the way you write posts, and the way you delete nearly all of them concerns me. Do you think you're really living from your Core?

Thanks for your input, Manitou.

Why is this a matter of One versus The Other to you? Does it have to be? What makes one antithetical to the other? If the latter becomes a obsession to the point of losing your connection to authenticity, I think that would be a problem, but is it otherwise? Is renunciation of the physical really a healthy thing for Spiritual people? We may as well enjoy it and make good use of it while we're here. Why should living from the Higher Self involve being completely irrational, insecure, poor and powerless? It makes no sense to me.

I've always kind of known deep down that I'm a Ninja, what's the best source of information about the practice of Kuji-Kiri?

I see no reason that the carrying of a weapon by a Peaceful Warrior would diminish the "Peaceful Warrior mentality" in the slightest. If anything, it should enhance it. One reason being that if you show a weapon, whoever you're showing it to is less likely to escalate things to the point of violent action. If carried with the correct intention and if one is sure of their skill, a weapon can/should provide a feeling of extra security and therefore peace.

University of Western Australia? Let me know if you're in the area. A guy I used to train with, Maurizio, owns an Italian Restaurant just down the road - we can go for pizza and then do some kung fu by the river

I'm sworn to secrecy my friend, but it is good. I absolutely agree with your first paragraph...in fact, it's already begun becoming a source of strength for me (and it has for quite a while) but going through it all this way is another thing altogether.

If you were me you'd be trying to work everything out as well. What you said about resonance totally...resonates with me - thank you. Basically the goal is to integrate my experiences and express them, in a beneficial way, through creative work. This necessarily means doing lots of deep-sea diving, which I'm more than prepared & willing to do. Don't underestimate the seriousness and severity of what I've experienced, though I completely agree with your last sentence. Thanks for your reply.

I'm a few weeks in now and really enjoying this training - I think it will complement my Uechi-Ryu very nicely. Well presented DVD's, great customer service (the 1st Iron Body disc they sent me was faulty so they sent me another one straight away, no questions asked) and a good all round addition to my daily routine. Highly recommended. *P.S I'm not affiliated with Chris or Iron Palm Productions in any way, I just think this is really good training*

How can we measure the degree to which we project our own stuff onto other people? I feel I need to ask this right now. I know, personally, that I actually get projected onto by fucking heaps of people, but how can I figure out how much I've been doing this myself?

A Song For My Sister (she won't know until down the track a while...) Dear Sister, If you need help and I'm elsewhere, Just call my name and I'll be there. If we're separate by sea, Or live in different, distant lands, Just say my name and I'll be there. Just say my name and I will come. We've misunderstood each other, Never think I wanted another way to be your brother, You thought you knew and you were wrong, but now you do. If you need help and I'm elsewhere, my dear sister, Call my name and I'll be there. If we walk in different lands just call my name and I will come, just say my name and I'll be there. Like a window into another time I saw the father, Say my name and I'll be there. I stepped into another time, became the father, Call my name and I'll be there. Windows into other times, I came back with knowledge of the father. If you need help and I'm elsewhere, Just call my name and I will come, Just say my name and I'll be there. Tom.

Someone should Sigilize for this already
