16. To obtain Magical Power, learn to control thought; admit only those ideas that are in harmony with the end desired, and not every stray and contradictory Idea that presents itself. 17. Fixed thought is a means to an end. Therefore pay attention to the power of silent thought and meditation. The material act is but the outward expression of thy thought, and therefore hath it been said that “the thought of foolishness is sin.” Thought is the commencement of action, and if a chance thought can produce much effect, what cannot fixed thought do?

It turns out my email is faulty and every thing I responded to did not get sent ( apparently due to me not setting my phone up properly on purchase ... I didnt 'allow' all sorts of things relating to 'spying' , following , my 'location' etc . Hopefully I fixed that with a new emali address working through my lap top ??? Anyway, I'll give it a go ( I'll send it in a PM )

and some people seem to think someone said what they didnt say A text followed by a picture with no link to them in the post ( although it was later explained why it was put there by the poster ) Until Cobie mutilated , cut and chopped and censored a post by someone else in a 'quote ' box , to try and make it look like what was said , she could 'validly' criticize .... again ! You might want to look at that proclivity at some stage ?

I'm sure you look better than that Cobie ? I would not blame yourself .... computers be causing difficulty everywhere ; Local store .... insert ..... nothing .... tap ..... nothing .... try again ' Insufficient funds ' ... go to town and try there ; same account $3600 + ??? Produce agricultural store , Norco ( northern co-operative for farmers ) - notorious system ; slow, continued attempts and fails . The other day they tell me it doesnt do that anymore as it got foxed ... but now each time the sell an item , they are required to enter three more steps than before . So, armed with a pocket full of cash I go to the local store .... nope ( computer runs the 'cash' register and 'its down ' ) Full speed ahead tech disaster ; GO G1 ! Only $16,000 !! of course ... it will be ALL OK ! Its just an old confused person that knows nothing and cannot see into the future - give 'em pork on a hot day , I reckon .

Thanks for the info . Now I can start an online 'how to enter Nirvana easily' course . Just come to my place on one of those 39 degree C days ... hand over the money and all your possessions ( as you will no longer need them ) and stay for lunch ;

A couple of days ago it was 39 deg C . Today has a predicted maximum of 33 but with a sheep / grazier alert . Grazier alerts are usually cold weather , so I checked ; tomorrow's maximum temp is predicted to be 17 deg C . And just as well we have AI auto weather computer phone prediction and warnings (or whatever they are ) a 'fire weather ' alert has been sent out ; Severity level .... significant threats to life and property. Urgency ..... 'the urgency of this alert is unknown . Affected area .... ' North coast ' . Great ! A significant threat to life but we dont know how urgent that is but somewhere up north near the coast . ( like those roadside signs that showed bushfire danger and warnings in an area . Some one ( usually from the bush fire brigade ) would unlock the sign and move the arrow around to the relevant warning level then lock it again . if it was up high , you knew you were in trouble . Now they have replaced them with high tech ' computery ' stuff . Half the time the signs are out or say ' Check on line at ....... ' or they work but the lowest level is high and the sign shows extreme on days when nothing happens - so people have got complacent about them ; '' Extreme danger ! '' .... nah , it always says that . Anyway ... danger ! Either from your lambs freezing ... or BBQing and a week of solid rain ... with possible bushfires .

I can tell .... this whole post ^ was AI , wasn't it ?

'' ... So then the wife said ; 'What are you going to do today ?' I said ; 'Nothing.' She said ; ' You did that yesterday .' I said ; ' I ain't finished yet .' ''

Correction . Not just blindness but apparently also ; '' ... general infirmity, defective development, mood swings, fickleness, bashfulness, boldness, bad posture, stiff joints, fondness for spicy foods, acne, palpitations, and epilepsy. '' - at least he got one of them right

At least 'nutritional science' stopped boys going blind from masturbating by making them eat Kellogg's Cornflakes https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/32042/corn-flakes-were-invented-part-anti-masturbation-crusade It worked ( scientifically ) like this ; '' Right then Johhny ! If you dont stop doing ...... that ..... I will make you eat corn flakes for breakfast every day ! ''

Hi Good to hear from you. I am still alive too ... for some reason ( although the 'close calls' seem to have gone away lately ) . You have come through a lot ( including what happened during covid, volcano eruptions , life 'difficulties' .... etc . I am glad to hear you 'held the course' and now do what you were trying to achieve many years back , got over the setbacks and hurdles , learnt how to deal with and work with your 'special talents' ... in short ; followed the path of your True Will . .

Bad tatts be cool - supposedly . A women I met had Sponge Bob tatts ...... Sponge Bob !

It was about our views on science, scientists and scientism Then there was a comment about 'life sciences ' . Then we were told there is 'no such thing as a scientist ' . Then a shifting terms claim about science being this ... no that ... no actually its ... ( what was it now ? unpopoular .... not nice ... not currently 'politically correct ' ... or something ? ) . Then a diversion into a claim from science journalism . Then there was a complaint or something like that about the thread not commenting only on life sciences ( even though the title said different ) . Then Luke came in to kick it in the shins ( not his brother this time ) . Then an indulgent poem that smacked of discordian interpretation of the 'philosophy' of Hassan i Sabbah ( 'nothing is true , all is permissible ' ) by a smug cat . Then some info about frying an unborn baby with microwaves . Then ...... cats . Thats what the internet does .... eventually , its all about cats . Then I came back and said ... say ... Science is a good approach , especially for all you post alternative nut jobs that give more reality to your own internal fantasies . Scientists are good and bad , like most groups of people ... except for those 'save the planet' environmental scientists ... they are 'cool ' ( like ultrasound is 'cool' ... apparently , but I dont why ) . and scientism ? Well, that just sucks and one will realize why , if they can tell the difference between the three terms . And now I depart the thread to avoid the upcoming disdainful stares and comments ..... .

What was that guy's name again ? ( have to look it up ) ... Ah yes ; Schwaller de Lubicz ... boy ! Wading through his stuff ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._A._Schwaller_de_Lubicz

I guess many here would not count vaccines as an improvement .... but I would cite 'non invasive diagnosis ' (like ultrasound ) and insulin for diabetics . Fortunately for me though , I am neither diabetic nor pregnant .

then again , some suggest that the idea of Jesus at the stake refers to the last supper

Not to forget 'Our Master ' Mansur el Hallaj ; Arguments for a stake: The Greek word stauros primarily means an upright stake or pole. Another word, xylon, is used synonymously and means "wood," "stake," or "tree". Some argue this means Jesus died on a single upright pole, citing that some early sources use these words in their basic meaning of a stake

Ahhh , there you go again ..... snipping off the last relevant bit of the sentence to ... well...... to what ? ? ? Why do that ? In the afterlife Coby ... in the afterlife ; '' ... However there is no 'judgement hall' or duality concept ( eg heaven and hell ) . '' Commandment 11 , thou shall not commit contextimony ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoting_out_of_context

That is 'science journalism ' .

What is disappointing is how he switched from science as 'failing' to being 'in decline ' to 'disappointing ' .

I won't name him (due to obvious reasons .... he works for NASA ..... he solved a huge problem for them with a novel insight , he also worked in comms for the navy and had a magical group 'on board ' - they had magic 'circles' in the on board satellite dish in its horizontal position ( officially 'cleaning detail ' ) . he got caught by Captain once '' I dont know what they hell you are doing in there .... but it doesnt appear to involve drugs , alcohol or 'homosexual activity ' and your division seems efficient, well run and and has no other 'incidents' , so ...... dismissed .''

Disconnect his phone and internet link ... that'll show him !
