Two lions walking through a shopping mall. One says to the other. 'Not many shoppers about for a Saturday are there'?

the importance of posture during meditation

The number of religious sites devoted to the King is just staggering: Church of Elvis, The Eighth Day Transfigurist Cult, Elvis Séance, The Elvis Shrine, The First Church of Jesus Christ, Elvis, The Gospel of Elvis, Little Shrine to the King, and Oracle of the Plywood Elvis, and of course, The First Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine. The First Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine (FPC, ED) was the most amusing name of all those sites. Also, FPC, ED at least gets certain facts straight, unlike The First Church of Jesus Christ, Elvis, who claims that Elvis was born in Memphis. Gee, I thought everyone knew Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi! One fact I did have to investigate was the claim that Elvis had a twin brother that was stillborn. My Elvis expert confirmed this. I was impressed by their inclusion of that detail. They did their homework! I was also impressed with the quality of the sermons. I only wish they had an organized gospel so that I might learn the names of all the disciples of Elvis. Just to give you an idea of the wealth of knowledge available at this site, here is a quote from a sermon entitled, “You Are Nothing, If Not a Hound Dog”: “Most of us are too busy having fun, making money, and getting laid to think much about religion. But being a reverend, not to mention being depressed, broke, and celibate, I think about it all the time.” According to the site, Presleyterians start celebrating the birth of Elvis on December 8, which is incidentally the date that John Lennon, one of Elvis’ 13 disciples, was murdered. I also learned that three bluesmen visited the baby Elvis and offered gifts. Furry gave the baby a gallon of cheap wine. John Lee gave to the child pills of many colors, and Robert offered a can of lard. I assume that John Lee is John Lee Hooker and Robert is Robert Johnson. Furry’s identity escapes me. FPC, ED states that, in following the example of Elvis, it is a duty to overindulge. Sermons like, “The Hot Dog: Nature’s Most Perfect Food,” are designed to help believers remain steadfast in their faith. Also, a follower of Elvis would be remiss to leave out the “31 Commandments,” 31 foods that followers of Elvis must keep in their homes in case Elvis should ever be in their neighborhood. Presleyterians are also required to face Las Vegas daily and make a pilgrimage to Graceland at least once in their lives. Yes, there is also an Anti-Elvis, as well as a host of false gods, including Wayne Newton and Madonna, that true believers of Elvis must renounce. Who is the Anti-Elvis? Let’s just say that his marriage to Lisa Marie is referred to as the “Unholy Union.” All in all, FPC, ED is a site that true believers of Elvis should visit. Included in the site are the e-mail addresses of many members of Congress so that followers can request that Congress declare January 8, Elvis’ Birthday, a national holiday. Memberships are $13. They also have pricey T-shirts for sale. However, if someone you know is really into unique Elvis kitsch, and you’re not afraid to blow a little dough, the T-shirt is a good buy.

Isn't Dion writing somewhat later than AC? There may be a link however via Frieda Harries and/or the Glastonbury group. Phil Rickman has yards of this stuff in his Glasto novels all seemingly very well researched. I give up now, headache; plus tutorials yet to do.

Yep, it was to agree with Cat was that post... Archangels R & M work together to lead the sephirot Tiphareth which I believe in Dion's panoply signifies beauty and harmony.

the importance of posture during meditation
GrandmasterP replied to wanderingontheway's topic in General Discussion
Also some Buddhist centre gift n book shops like to sell those silly little stools or sitting down 'meditation' cushions for ludicrous prices too. Just cultivate as you are most comfortable doing, it's all good. -

Yep, there's one where they put the spuds onto the ground then pile straw on top then a light cover of earth and repeat as spuds grow through. No dig method. That might be worth giving a go.

.... Yes, you are right Recep.

I tried permaculture style with some potatoes three seasons back. What a failure, but it was a bad year all round. The regular grown ones produced far more than the permacultured ones. The idea for pc is to trench then plant then backfill and more or less leave them to get on with it without ridging / earthing up and mulch with straw. The weeds ran riot even through the straw mulch and I'd not do it again. Works well where there are trees apparently and on very poor soils.
