    Ah I could show you what these...people really get up to. Not really the place for it, nor do I really have the desire for it. I am aware of the above too ^ They do use a number of hand gestures that we would consider mudras and that I have used myself // I think the intent behind them is different however. As say in the west we have been lead to believe the number 13 is unlucky While in Asian countries 4 is considered unlucky. Same things mean different things to different people. Bible has been tampered with since its very inception... God only knows what truth remains, we can guess We can guess for the most part it has been an attempt to destroy whoever this Christ figure / concept is... Which had begun even before the birth of Christ The Massacre of the Innocents is the biblical narrative of infanticide and gendercide by Herod the Great, the Roman appointed King of the Jews. The historicity of the incident is "an open question that probably can never be definitively decided",[1] but according to the Gospel of Matthew[2] Herod ordered the execution of all young male children in the village of Bethlehem, so as to avoid the loss of his throne to a newborn King of the Jews whose birth had been announced to him by the Magi. In typical Matthean style it is understood as the fulfillment of an Old Testament prophecy:[3] "Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children."[4] http://en.wikipedia....f_the_Innocents So even before the birth of Christ Consciousness all hell was breaking loose to prevent it? I don't think much has changed

    1 Billion... I am thinking before the "Great Deluge" Or some other global catastrophic event (maybe like the ice age? //) Not sure about the evolution theory / I don't give it much weight I am thinking a lot sooner though, for there to be written records of it. Especially considering texts both from the East + the West correlating such Though that isn't overly important // the text themselves refer to a specific way of living in order to attain...? legendary traits / mythical

    In Europe during classical antiquity the vegetarian diet was called abstinence from beings with a soul (Greek ἀποχὴ ἐμψύχων).[34] As a principle or deliberate way of life it was always limited to a rather small number of practitioners belonging to specific philosophical schools or certain religious groups.[35] The earliest European references to a vegetarian diet occur in Homer (Odyssey 9, 82–104) and Herodotus (4, 177), who mention the Lotophagi (Lotus-eaters), an indigene people on the North African coast, who according to Herodotus lived on nothing but the fruits of a plant called lotus. Diodorus Siculus (3, 23–24) transmits tales of vegetarian peoples or tribes in Ethiopia, and further stories of this kind are narrated and discussed in ancient sources.[36] All of them, however, display legendary traits or appear in a mythical context; hence they cannot be regarded as evidence for the historical existence of such peoples. The earliest reliable evidence for vegetarian theory and practice in Europe dates from the 6th century BC. The Orphics, a religious movement spreading in Greece at that time, and Pythagoras, a philosopher and religious leader in the area of Southern Italy colonized by Greek settlers, abstained from the flesh of animals.[37] The followers of Pythagoras (called Pythagoreans) did not always practice strict vegetarianism, but at least their inner circle did. For the general public, abstention from meat was a hallmark of the so-called “Pythagorean way of life”.[38] Both Orphics and strict Pythagoreans also avoided eggs and shunned the ritual offerings of meat to the gods which were an essential part of traditional religious sacrifice.[39] In the 5th century BC the philosopher Empedocles distinguished himself as a radical advocate of vegetarianism specifically and of respect for animals in general.[40] There was a widely held belief, popular among both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, that in the Golden Age of the beginning of humanity mankind was strictly non-violent. In that utopian state of the world hunting, livestock breeding, and meat-eating, as well as agriculture were unknown and unnecessary, as the earth spontaneously produced in abundance all the food its inhabitants needed.[43] This myth is recorded by Hesiod (Works and Days 109sqq.), Plato (Statesman 271–2), the famous Roman poet Ovid (Metamorphoses 1,89sqq.), and others. Ovid also praised the Pythagorean ideal of universal nonviolence (Metamorphoses 15,72sqq.). http://en.wikipedia....f_vegetarianism So the West also makes reference to a distant "Golden Age"

    Taoist mythology speaks of a Golden Age, they didn't consume anything except Pure Prana / Chi An early Taoist text, the Taiping Jing suggests that early people who were living completely "as they are" (ziran) would not need food, but instead would live only by absorbing the cosmic qi of Yin and Yang. This ancient state has since fallen away, however, which is why the Celestial Master of the Taipingjing says that food is now one of two absolute essentials for human existence. (WIKI) Humanity thinks that it is evolving... The Taiping jing is a guide that reveals the proper methods to bring forward an era of Great Peace or Equality (an idea that probably dates back to the Warring States period).[1] The idea of the Great peace became especially more prominent during the Han period.[2] The main idea brought forward by the scriptures is that the world is in a terrible state of chaos. There is a loss of cosmic balance, and this is made obvious by omens such as droughts, floods, famines, epidemics and other natural disasters.[3] There is also chaos in the courts of the imperial house (during the Han dynasty) proven by recorded events such as freakish births (perhaps a hint at the meddling of eunuchs), all of which demonstrate Heaven's displeasure towards the mortal realm.[4] Humans have been polluted by their sins and their ancestors' sins (evil accumulated through many generations).[5] The Universe reciprocates the mortal realm's condition; for there to be balance again, the people must heal themselves and cultivate their inner Dao. Salvation lies in the hand of great princes known as Celestial Masters. Chinese antiquity was divided into three eras: shang-ku (High Antiquity), chung-ku and hsia-ku, but it was only the shang-ku (High Antiquity) that contained a time of Great Peace,[6] maintained with the collaborative efforts of the rulers of that era and the Celestial Masters. (WIKI) Every religious tradition on the planet advocates a vegetarian diet Nearly every Sage, Saint and Avatar I can think of advocates a vegetarian diet Greek mystics / philosophers 2500+ years ago advocated a vegetarian diet (of which all their students also followed) / Who taught them? Apollonius of Tyana Empedocles Plotinus Plutarch Proclus Pythagoras Socrates Sotion (Pythagorean) Theophrastus Xenocrates An interesting google search is: ancient vegetarian societies

    From my limited reading I believe They would only eat things from trees Seeds / Nuts / Herbs / Fruit / Vegetables and some Tree Saps (depending on climate/location) Fresh Water + Fresh Mountain Air hmmmm // Agriculture they mocked / thought it to be slavery (somewhat in line the Taomeows post) Which it is - The title of the article I am specifically thinking about is called >> Yoked to the Earth. In terms of longevity + the "you are what you eat" If you are eating acorns from an Oak Tree 1500 years old... or grain/crop that lasts barely a season (with constant intervention to sustain it)? The oak tree genetically is far superior, the blue print of the food I think mixes with your own. Another reason I would avoid eating meat // animal blood mixing with human blood. I was reading an account from a South American Elder... he was speaking of Quinoa (The seed is eaten, in the past it was the foundation of their diet) he said the plant was good for the body and the spirit. What is good for the body is good for the spirit. If we see how devastating hard drugs are to the person at all levels... The "food" we are consuming today is not much better.

    At the moment the pyramid is being seen as a symbol of oppression
  16. Runes

    I use them mostly as a form of divination/ guidance (similar to I Ching) In Norse mythology they could do some pretty impressive things with them. As one can see from above the Runes follow the hexagonal pattern found in the Flower of Life. I imagine to have a deep understanding of the Runes would be to have deep understanding of the underlying forces of Nature. From the complex / elaborate and vast astrological earth and stone works created by these people (Indo - Euro) I guess it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.
