It is possible to observe, analyze, hypothesize and test without any judgement Judgement biases actual events. Material science prefers double blind to prevent experimenters' belief distorting results The spiritual scientist observes without prejudice. This allows unbiased hypotheses and clean experiments to test those. Perhaps the human situation is not madness so much as early learning processes in coping with adverse interference. Who can test that hypothesis?

Ahhhh ... Bindi is back ..... and its not even summer ! Of course Bindi, that is the context and understanding of it philosophically and spiritually . People that sprout that in all situations seem to have some worry about being personally judged .

When there is no longer a you to be enlightened. I view myself not as one thing, but rather the conversation trillions of cells are having across an organic internet. I am the energy and information they exchange. The collective conversation that society of cells has. I am that energy and information. There is no me inside this body. There are just trillions of cells talking and communicating with one another. Each with their own individual wills and perspectives. We also are doing the same thing our cells are, as we share energy and information and communicate on the internet. That exchange of energy and information gives rise to an awareness not unlike our own.

I believe that ‘Judge not’ warns against ego-based condemnation that feeds separation and karmic entanglement. But there’s a world of difference between reactive judgment and the clear seeing that arises from compassion and alignment with truth. IMO Jesus wasn’t condemning out of wounded pride, he was cutting through hypocrisy to protect and awaken. So we might say real spiritual maturity knows when silence is love, and when fierce clarity is love. It’s not about never discerning, but about where it’s coming from within us.

(Chorus) We're doing karaoke at the villa, Got that priceless dragon fish in the pond. I bring a tea set for the OG, He breaks out the ink, and with one flick of the wrist, lays down four words for me: "Blueprint for a Dynasty"—yeah, the master's own work. I take that "Blueprint" and hang it right in the office. It's so real, even the god Guan Gong would have to give respect. But you can't just ride on luck, 'cause… (Verse 1) He told me, "Go big or go home." The bigger the hustle, the more snakes you'll find in the grass. I don't care about pissing off the small-timers, But I got no respect for anyone who double-crosses a real one. A stand-up guy who won't even have a drink with you? Man, that just ain't right. The streets, the suits—every single game has its own set of rules. You only level up when you're willing to go against the grain. A slave to the money ain't got no loyalty— I'm talkin' 'bout my crew, not some pansy. The young bloods just play the hand they're dealt, The crazy ones let it all ride on a roll of the dice. But a real hustler grabs the hilt of Frostmourne, Points it at the fakes, and sparks a revolution. Everyone's too busy out here chasing a check, Now trust breaks easier than glass. The OG just sits back and watches the show, He knows on these streets, everyone's got their own way to go. A hustler who's broke still gotta bet his life just to eat. So, a Rollie or the Benz? (Chorus) We're doing karaoke at the villa, Got that priceless dragon fish in the pond. I bring a tea set for the OG, He breaks out the ink, and with one flick of the wrist, lays down four words for me: "Blueprint for a Dynasty"—yeah, the master's own work. I take that "Blueprint" and hang it right in the office. It's so real, even the god Guan Gong would have to give respect. But you can't just ride on luck, 'cause… (Verse 2) Posted up in the Qilou, everything's 100, man we good. (Yee) Riding through Yuexiu, Xiaobei, Taojin—that's my hood. (Yee) For me, the opera "Princess Cheung Ping" is my "California Love." We throw on some Yam and Pak, hit a down-home spot for a meal out in Baiyun. Taipingguan Restaurant might've moved, but the vibe is still here. My enemies' dreams fall apart, flimsy as a takeout box from the chop suey spot. Grabbing a "Ninth Uncle Chicken" on the way, throwing some baby cabbage in the hot pot. Yeah, we're eating grub from a food stall, but they treat us like A-listers. Canton boys out in Beijing, reppin' our city in our own language, man we stand up. And if anyone says we can't make it? We'll mess 'em up so bad their own moms won't know 'em. Skrrrt-ing on the Pearl River like a dragon boat race, then it's Jē Jē claypot and time for some herbal tea. Uhh, cook cook cook… Feeling like the master chef on that Chuuka Ichiban show. A Guangdong street style trendsetter, With a crate of those old-school cut-out CDs from Haiyin on my shoulder. In the spa’s swimming pool, the water better be clean— That's one of those "unspoken rules," you feel me? A classic brand never loses its flavor, Like honey-glazed char siu buns. And the zongzi we eat? It's gotta be the jianshui kind, no question. Practicing "Blueprint for a Dynasty" 'til my hand gets tired... Then I push.

"judge not lest ye be judged" is in pretty much every holy book, for a reason for instance in the Pali canon: "Therefore, Ānanda, do not be judgmental regarding people. Do not pass judgment on people. Those who pass judgment on people harm themselves.". — Migasālā Sutta [AN 6:44] translated from the Pāli by Bhikkhu Bodhi

Righto Bindi...Jesus was/is a spiritual warrior who is also an elder brother, good Shepard, the Prince of peace and several other great qualities!

Clearly Jesus hadn’t attained much spiritual progress then, evidenced by his condemnation of the Pharisees.

"(the) thinkative mind and mental habits is usually what we take to be 'us'"... It were better… if the untaught manyfolk approached this body, child of the four great elements, as the self rather than the mind. Why so? Seen is it… how this body, child of the four great elements, persists for a year, persists for two years, persists for three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty years, persists for forty, for fifty years, persists for a hundred years and even longer. But this… that we call thought, that we call mind, that we call consciousness, that arises as one thing, ceases as another, whether by night or by day. (SN 12.61, tr. Pali Text Society vol II p 66) Gautama spoke in many lectures about his enlightenment, which took place in or after the fourth or the final concentration, depending on the lecture, but was really a matter of "profound knowledge" or "intuitive wisdom" (MN 70) , a kind of gnosis that followed his witness of "past habitations" and "future arisings". With his enlightenment, he said, the three cankers were no longer present in him, they were like palm trees that had been cut off at the root, never to grow again. The cankers: The three “cankers” were said to be three cravings: “craving for the life of sense”, “craving for becoming”, and “craving for not-becoming” (DN 22; PTS vol. ii p 340). When the cankers are “destroyed”, the roots of the craving for sense-pleasures, the roots of the craving “to continue, to survive, to be” (tr. “bhava”, Bhikkyu Sujato), and the roots of the craving not “to be” (the craving for the ignorance of being) are destroyed. (One Way or Another) Where the confusion comes in: Gautama’s advice was to go by the words of the teacher rather than any claim to authority, to compare the instructions of a teacher to the sermons Gautama himself had given and to the rules of the order that Gautama himself had laid down (DN 16 PTS vol. ii pp 133-136). Nevertheless, activity solely by virtue of the free location of consciousness, the hallmark of the fourth concentration, has been conveyed by demonstration in some branches of Buddhism for millennia. The transmission of a central part of the teaching through such conveyance, and the certification of that transmission by the presiding teacher, is regarded by some schools as the only guarantee of the authenticity of a teacher. The teachers so authenticated have in many cases disappointed their students, when circumstances revealed that the teacher’s cankers had not been completely destroyed. Furthermore, some schools appear to have certified transmission without the conveyance that has kept the tradition alive, perhaps for the sake of the continuation of the school. (ibid)

What actions brings us closer or further away to/from the light
Nungali replied to Surya's topic in General Discussion
Some people and some people at various stages need a 'bubble' around them . Its a fundamentals and basic principle in many systems of magical practice . One practices to actually form this 'bubble' . I would even go as far as to say it is , at first, an essential practice and it goes further than a magical practice visualization - it is actually the first principle of philosophy given out during the first knowledge lecture in the first initiation . Which is basically ; if you are learning to use your energies , how will you control them if you cant contain them ? ( and since I cant repeat the lecture here , I will outline the philosophical lesson into other words ) Consider the steam engine and its massive potential power that can be put to all sports of uses ... how will it work if the pressure is not contained in the first place ... the steam will just waft away as vapor . of course , I don't expect you to agree :Lairg ... or even respond . I put this here as its important for some people at this present time and for some peoples level of development . -
meaning of an incandescent or energy saving LED type?

Urrrgha .... Ummm , no, you misunderstood yourself . You said : " the spirit/magical realm vs. the material, " I suggest removing the vs from that ^ not this new arrangement of 'physical vs mental ' . vs means 'against, opposed to , or in contrast to '. Spirit our magic should not work or be against the material . it should not oppose it but give depth meaning and insight into the material and although it can seem in contrast to it , for many it isn't ; for example a traditional Aboriginal believe ( before invasion of the nasty people ) was 'this IS heaven ' . No separation between spiritual and material , they interweave and flow into each other .

Btw mod's, using old3bob's name on the side (or as an aside) without his ok is not exactly kosher, even if he can take a joke or ribbing.

there can also be the case of or sign of spineless apathy or resultant naive appeasement...

Should the clear simple list of answers to the opening question be put down yet ..... or do we need a much longer to and fro into obscurity first ? -
I don't see why .... as they are 'stored' as well , but probably don't need such a big 'box' . I was a juror once and we were presented with phone conversations and text records of the accused . I assumed he was already under suspicions and someone had applied to a judge for a 'phone tap ' . Nah, old school . They wait until you are caught and then go into the old records . That seems to suggest that every phone converse and text you ever made is in storage somewhere . But don't hold me to any of that ... I am a 'LoTech' . Its ALL on record Coby .... EVERTHING !

if you are asking the questions, since you are asking the questions, then there is a part of you that is ready -
Some thoughts. If you have a system that can generate repeatable, objectively observable results, every time, then you have yourself a science and a technology, not magick. Real practices like this exist, but the amount of magick users that absolutely hate them and everything they are about amazes me. The amount of skepticism they selectively apply to these practices, but not their own amazes me. The amount of vitriol they spew. I don't understand people.

Perhaps I should avoid dwelling any deeper, as I might not be ready yet, but I wonder: 1. What can one do to refine the heart? 2. would you mind providing me with an intellectual framework, in hope that it might dawn on me one day? Thank you. -

Logos is Greek for "word". You may recall "In the beginning was the Word" Do your own experiments. It is useful to find a competent observer for feedback
