  1. Western Origins of Yijing?

    Just for fun I asked AI is there a correlation between australian indigenous moiety and the I Ching ?
  2. Western Origins of Yijing?

    It wasn't 'us' . But ... wait for it .... ( a Polynesian joke ) ... he weren't called 'Cook' for nothing . No .... I have looked into the concept a bit though . Its an interesting subject ; people that came here and interacted in various ways with the indigenous - pre Capt Cook .
  3. The Magick of Abramelin

    - in any case I suppose a follow up discussion could be on 01:37:16 - Questioning pragmatic dharma assumptions and the vogue of stream entry
  4. The Magick of Abramelin

    just from the trailer , this seems more like a movie about 'certain types' that either use magic for (or are not ready to use it and fall into this trap) manipulation and control of other people in the ritual to base ends . Its a big one that . I have had experience with it in that a close friend who was offered all sorts of things including being the new 'head' of the 'group ' ended up being required to do all sorts of weird , kinky , sadistic, etc 'stuff' ( which of course was purely for 'magical purposes' and ' tests ' ) and also personally in that keeping tabs on any such energy arising in myself * and also being appointed to keep an eye on other groups (in our organisation ) and report to HQ any evidence of same . * in such a position sometimes this arises in others that seem to have a 'need ' to experience this 'dominance' ..... but that was not the 'business' we were in ... there are other places they can go to for that . ( people used to say our group had orgies ... no we dont ! - dammit ! ) ( In that regard I didnt watch the vid beginning but came in at the discussion of the ritual itself .... I like the way the guy started off ; first this a ritual about 'getting rich' ... like I often say ... it has base ends and it and some associated practices and rituals are hodge podge 'old' mistranslated and even totally unsuitable sources ( like a fragmentary Greek exorcism being used to invoke the HGA ) .

    New Caledonia ? Captain Cook sailing north and looking back ? It seems (after more research ) it was a navigational direction ; 'Keep those rocks to your south west ' . Maybe a Feng Shui navigator in the Zeng He expedition
  6. Down on the south coast here is a place the 'white fellahs' call ' Mt Dromedary ' . Capt Cook started that by naming it what he thought it looked like from sea . from a local indigenous man ; '' What ! And WTF is a dromedary anyway ? How dare he call our beautiful mother Gulaga , that anyone can see from the ocean - a woman lying down - a friggen CAMEL ... what an insult ! And , the old people , they told us about that Capt Cook going past , they all saw him , how could you miss it ! Of course, back then we didnt know what it was , a big thing like that with white wings floating on top of the water . The only thing we ever seen like that before was a pelican . Now , is was a long way away and hard to see but they decided it must be a giant pelican , coming back from the dreamtime . Now pelican - he is a greedy fellah, you go fishing, he will steal your fish . if you dont stop him, he will eat all your fish - gobble them up . Imagine what a giant pelican would do . So they were worried that giant greedy pelican would come and steal all our fish and other stuff . But that pelican, he kept going . But later , well, in a way, he came back and he did what the old people feared would happen . '' - going up Gulaga ;
  7. everything is perfect...?

    It isnt just the 'transcendent ' ... its a new age way of avoiding 'fixing the problem' .... just get all sugary positive about things or the 'trance' one goes into from long term 'non suffering ' ( like when you live a privileged lifestyle and 'fall in love ' )
  8. supposedly ... for a Christian, that is what we are supposed to be However from the shepherds perspective .... he knows where they will 'end up ' .
  9. Do What Thou Wilt

    I agree but .... That is normal everyday 'will' not 'wilt' as is considered in the meaning of the phrase ( that is, the phrase which is the title of this thread ) . The 'will ' is multi faceted or just multiple , as you observe - as the 'self' is . Without integration of wills and selves , we are an unruly mess of drives, 'purposes' and . sometimes conflicting , wills .. Even with the concept of the 'True Will ' ( which is the 'will' referred to in the phrase ) one must be mindful and respecting of 'transpersonal will ' ... that is 'beyond your own person ' as ; if ( and especially 'magically' ) one affirms the importance of enacting one's True Will , then one must give the same right to others .... otherwise ... well, that's just selfish, greed , even 'personal fascism ' .

    We have a coastal town further south , right on the coast, out on a type of peninsular called ' South West Rocks ' sometimes I visit and a few times I have asked , ''What is South West Rocks, south west of ? '' Most look blank, or laugh or dont understand the question ?
  11. Fortelling the Future

    From looking at his link I would say he was Uranian .... right 'up there' with the others from 'Uranus' ... possibly he could be 'up there ' on his own though
  12. First Post On this website

    No .... just a good ear ... and dont be a Xerk
  13. Sitchen could not even translate cuneiform ! And what sort of advice or reference is that for Haribol ? What , he has to read the whole corpus of CRAP from Sitchen to find a reference to your c;aim ? Dont do it Haribol ! Bad advice - it will wreck your mind ! (or if you are bored , you could do it for fun ) but remember : AI Overview No, Zechariah Sitchin's theories are generally considered invalid and pseudoscientific by mainstream scientists, historians, and academics, who criticize his translations of ancient Sumerian texts as inaccurate, his interpretations as speculative, and his claims about extraterrestrial "Anunnaki" creating humanity as unsupported by evidence, conflicting with archaeological and historical facts, and lacking scientific merit . Key Criticisms: Linguistic Misinterpretations: Sumerologists and Assyriologists point out Sitchin's mistranslations of Sumerian cuneiform, arguing he imposed modern concepts (like a 12th planet, Nibiru) onto texts that describe known celestial bodies or mythological figures, not aliens. Ignoring Evidence: His theories disregard established archaeological findings and evolutionary biology, presenting fantastical narratives as historical fact. Pseudoscience/Pseudohistory: Academics classify Sitchin's work as pseudoscience and pseudohistory because it's based on flawed methodology and unsubstantiated claims rather than rigorous academic standards. In essence, Sitchin's ideas are popular in alternative history circles but are not accepted as valid within professional academic or scientific communities.
  14. Ye eeeeee eeeee s . I need to be careful with definitions here . IF we call the earlier 'followers' as depicted in the Bible as 'Jews ' than yes ; Judaism was formulated as a state religion and the temple 'cleared' and dedicated to 'one God - YHVH ' and clear monotheism established ... that seems to have been Josiah's work . ( 640 - 609 bc ) . Before that it seemed your regular Canaanite temple with all sorts of goings on in there . We have two choices ; to believe either that they were monotheists who would always, continually slip away from that and get terribly punished and never learn and keep doing it OR they were a blend of people with different Gods and ' at best ' some 'henotheirsts ' ( there are other Gods , yes, but mine is best ) ; in either case the bible itself attests to this . .
