Nungali Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Nope ... wrong again . Methinks an holistic understanding is required here and an awareness of interrelated components creating a healthy natural system . Caterpillars provide a lot of food for birds , small mammals like rodents, hedgehogs and even bears . They also help support ants . Ants prey on most insect species, but have a mutually beneficial relationship with caterpillars. Caterpillars produce sugary excretions known as honeydew, which ants consume. In turn, ants provide caterpillars protection from predatory insects. Some ant species escort the caterpillar into their nest in order to have exclusive rights to the caterpillar's excretions. If a caterpillar wants protection, it creates a vibration to signal its presence to nearby ants. Of course caterpillars can get out of control, run plague , and destroy crops ... but that is usually in huge commercial monoculture (and small monoculture ) ... which is why those systems (which are not natural) are now discouraged and are an unnatural system . One tree species, the red maple, benefits from the voracious eating habits of two caterpillar species, the eastern tent and European gypsy moths. The caterpillars do not eat red maple vegetation, but feed on the leaves of the red maple's competitors, which includes oak and sassafras trees. Of course, without caterpillars we would not have butterflies ... they have a role in tending the garden as well . And dont forget silk ! What you gonna do for silk underwear with no caterpillars !

Mskied Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) I didn't get a passing grade on color theory, and I don't have the inclination to look into how the eye interprets color, and whether white is the absence of color or the entire color spectrum. From my simple perspective, it seems that black is the combination of color, and that white is what we get when color is extracted. Why is white so important in spirituality? Because it is the absence of color and is the color of purity- though it is easily argued that color itself is pure. I like to think that white is the purest form of color, which is colorless, meaning that all are One. Anyway, primary color, including white, is an ideal, and there are other forms of Magick than white, but the White Brotherhood seems to denote the idea that we are all One. The same can be said of black I suppose. I guess if push came to shove, White Brotherhood are the ascended Masters, having transfigured themselves beyond color. I think its terrible that you mock this group, being that many of you claim to study the Wisdom of them. If it is a racial thing, then I have no problem with that either, because the "White", Caucasian race- the Indo-European, has done great deeds in promoting the health and well being of this world, and this race should indeed be honored for what they have contributed.

In the light spectrum white exhibits the wave lengths of "all" color, and black is simply the absence of light.

This "group" was created by men/ women giving name (with meaning to themselves) to a hierarchy they created and claimed to speak for, and have connection to.

Did you really just tell ralis to read history??? He's the only one here I could assuredly say has read more history than myself... "Led the charge in [...] civilization." Yes, by determining "others" were "barbarians," "heathens," or whatever other euphimism enabled them to be viewed as "lesser" and treated accordingly - for "their own good" of course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typical . You admit you have no knowledge on the subject and not even an inclination to look into it and then admit you nothing about the dynamics of white . But that isnt gonna stop this guy from telling us what he thinks and then get uppity when corrected ! Colour theory and usage is an important aspect of ritual magick, (see Liber 777) and that is the basis behind a large part of ritual / regalia/ temple furniture design and construction.

Anyway, primary color, including white, White is NOT a primary colour . 4 hours ago, Mskied said: is an ideal, and there are other forms of Magick than white, but the White Brotherhood seems to denote the idea that we are all One. The same can be said of black I suppose. I guess if push came to shove, White Brotherhood are the ascended Masters, having transfigured themselves beyond color. The ' colour ' of magical Schools is not the same as colour in art or colour theory . Of course, I dont expect you to have realised this as you dont like to take in information other than from your " simple perspective " . " It is customary to describe these three Schools as Yellow, Black, and White. The first thing necessary is to warn the reader that they must by no means be confounded with racial distinctions of colour; and they correspond still less with conventional symbols such as yellow caps, yellow robes, black magick, white witchcraft, and the like. The danger is only the greater that these analogies are often as alluring as the prove on examination to be misleading. " These Schools represent three perfectly distinct and contrary theories of the Universe, and, therefore, practices of spiritual science. The magical formula of each is as precise as a theorem of trigonometry. Each assumes as fundamental a certain law of Nature, and the subject is complicated by the fact that each School, in a certain sense, admits the formulæ of the other two. It merely regards them as in some way incomplete, secondary, or illusory. Now, as will be seen later, the Yellow School stand aloof from the other two by the nature of its postulates. But the Black School and the White are always more or less in active conflict. " The Yellow School of Magick considers, with complete scientific and philosophical detachment, the fact of the Universe as a fact. Being itself apart of that Universe, it realizes its impotence to alter the totality in the smallest degree. " The Yellow School, in accordance with its doctrine of perfectly elastic reaction and non-interference, holds itself, generally speaking, entirely apart from all such questions. We can hardly imagine it sufficiently interested in any events soever to react aggressively. It feels strong enough to deal satisfactorily with anything that may turn up: and generally speaking, it feels that any conceivable action on its part would be likely to increase rather than to diminish the mischief. " In accordance, therefore, with their general plan of non-action, as expressed in the Tao Teh King, of dealing with mischief before it has become too strong to be dangerous, they interfere gently from time to time to redress the balance. " The Black School of Magick, which must by no means be confused with the School of Black Magick or Sorcery, which latter is a perversion of the White tradition, is distinguished fundamentally from the Yellow School in that it considers the Universe not as neutral, but as definitely a curse. Its primary theorem is the “First Noble Truth” of the Buddha—“Everything is Sorrow.” In the primitive classics of this School the idea of sorrow is confused with that of sin " We have, however, examples plentiful enough of religions deriving almost exclusively from the Black tradition in the different stages. We have already mentioned the Evangelical cults with their ferocious devil-god who creates mankind for the pleasure of damning it " The central idea of the White School is that, admitted that “everything is sorrow” for the profane, the Initiate has the means of transforming it to “Everything is joy.” ... Existence is pure joy. Sorrow is caused by failure to perceive this fact; but this is not a misfortune. We have invented sorrow, which does not matter so much after all, in order to have the exuberant satisfaction of getting rid of it. Existence is thus a sacrament. [ There are also other schools ; a 'Red School', - the 'Royal Road', a 'Golden School' but therse are often 'internal' and little known ] " Our own School unites the ruby red of Blood with the gold of the Sun. It combines the best characteristics of the Yellow and the White Schools. In the light of M. Aumont's exposition, it is easy to understand. " To us, every phenomenon is an Act of Love, every experience is necessary, is a Sacrament, is a means of Growth. Hence, ”…existence is pure joy;…“ (AL II, 9) “A feast every day in your hearts in the joy of my rapture! A feast every night unto Nu, and the pleasure of uttermost delight!” (AL II, 42-43).
