The series seems specifically made for our SBS 2 channel and is not viewable outside Oz . However some youtubes of some of them have started to appear . Its called 'The Cactus Apprentice' . A great series ... a fav episode was 'Dreamfish' , an hallucinogenic fish that gives the eater Nightmares . The situation re Mandrax and its mass distribution by the South African government episode was amazing ! ... and the LSD one , where they went to an old psychonaughtical chemist's ranch who had been altering the LSD molecule to give variant results - like increased intelligence and had buried his samples all over the place ... which they went and found and dug up .

Then, there is 'karma' in the Japanese sense . I like that concept .

" Unfair ? ...... Unfair ! What makes you think life should be 'fair' in the first place ? What, you think there is some Gid sitting up there or some mechanism that takes your human values and judgements of what is fair or not and should make a law of cause or effect and then project that back into your environment so it operates for you ? " " Goodness ! You sound just like my father, thats the exact sort of thing he would say ! " " Well .... your father was a very smart man . " (old remembered conversation with friends sister who was complaining life was not fair ) . Karma can not be unfair .... you pollute your water ; your water is polluted ... and the further effects of that effect you . You jump of a high cliff - you splat . You give out your anger to others constantly - you live an angry and unhappy life . You disdain dogs and look at them with contempt - the growl and bark at you . What is unfair about that ? Or are we talking the 'other type' of 'karma' ... where I get to live in white, western, material, opulence or high caste or class, because, obviously , I am or was a great kind spiritual person, somehow, at sometime. And those who slave to make my products and have a poor lifestyle .. well ... karma ... they must be or have been 'bad' . Now, if you are one of the slaves .. living in shit and working long hours to supply products to the opulent and privileged few ... dont rebel or overthrow ... karma ... you will get your reward in the future ... after this life though . That type of 'karma' ?

Ahhhh .... you mean the Supreme Macro-cosmic Ego ?

No . Its a concept . It might not exist in 'the real' , but it has an existence in ;the ideal' as a concept Our behaviours , let alone our minds, are complex things . Grouping things into concepts helps to understand or at least be aware of things . It does for me anyway . Maybe why that is why you use the term? Also not as a paradox but in the wider sense of the term ; " Sometimes they (oxymoron) are used to create some sort of drama for the reader or listener, and sometimes they are used to make the person stop and think, whether it's to laugh or to ponder."

Only if that is how one defines ego . I define the above as drive and ambition mixed with social expectation in an arena of western materialism.

I have seen the term ego used in many contexts ; mostly the Freudian or 'new age'. There are other concepts like Steiner used, that I dont adopt. I have my own understanding of it within the system I use to map the general human ' psyche' . In this it is a function of consciousness that we can not really operate without, it is fed and formed by other 'states' or functions of psyche as well, and does not really stand alone or in conflict with them . However it is within the 'medium' of ego (my understanding of it ) that many of our personal 'syndromes' manifest (Freudian ) . Also if the 'balancing of the forces' of the psyche (whose outward product is manifest by the ego ) is weighed towards the "Id forces ' ( The 'Ahrimanic nature' via Steiner , or the 'Aingra Mainyu' of Zoroastrianism, etc . ) then ths is manifest in 'Ego' , giving it a bad rap . The actual root force of what most consider 'ego' is more from this influence ( 'Id' ) then ego. ... and just for some recent retro fun .... here is 'Shirley' ;

Ummmmm ..... you might want to fine tune that translation re ; 'psycho network ' if you actually want to market this .

Well, it doesnt have to be in your driveway

Lets not forget 'Sensai Dilman's' comment ( when his 'drop from a distance' didnt work in a test ) .' " Well , ahhh , you can neutralise it by pressing one of your big toes up and the other down. Thats what he was doing. And then switch them, press the down toe up and the other down . That will neutralise it . "

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?

" Thou shalt have no other car before me "

Its your Fraveshi calling to you If it is a new car, better do what my Persian friend did; place an egg under each wheel then drive forward slowly .

Kernel of a thought .... and of a 'soul' .

Lama Dorkdrop Lama's dork dropping . Language ! Mr Lama Dorkdrop ... to you .

Its a subject full of speculations , even by the 'experts' . History is someone's ' story ' , after all, or a combination of 'stories' . But you bring up some good points below . Yes it is used in linguistics in a certain way , but also in other definitions. Other fields such as archaeology will use 'linguistic terms' according to cross referencing in other fields, instead of , for example , referring constantly to ' a movement of painted grey ware pottery people' . Back then there probably was no concept of 'religion' or 'politics' ... like we have. Both were often more like the same thing and the words they used often equated with 'Law' . We might see it as religion and we might refer to their system back then as a religion, but consider the name they used themselves to describe their 'religion' ; ' Mazdayasno Zarathushtrish Vidaevo Ahura-Tkaesho, that is, Zarathushtrian Mazda-Worship opposed to the daeva through the laws of the Lord (Ahura) ' . I used the term political in a more modern analytical sense. But I suppose it is a point a view. I would also describe the machinations of the early "Jewish " people in the 'Promised Land' as a political motivation and movement . Not just the British. And not just India . Post WW1 Germany had a lot to do with 'building the story' of ancient Egypt . And when the British took over Egypt from the French, the French had to hand over much of their looted antiquities to the British . For more on the discarding you speak of, I recommend the works of John Romer , in his History of Ancient Egypt Vol 1. ( First Framers to the Great Pyramid ) he broaches the subject, explains developments of it and introduces 'evidence based research' - and its implications. In Vol 2 ( Great Pyramid to the Fall of The Middle Kingdom ) he goes into great depth on the subject, tracking the stages in European cultural development and 'mindset' and how that 'created' the history of ancient Egypt. But evidence based research can create even more details in 'the story' , as in the case of the recent findings of the ancient 'Merer's Diary' ..... first hand accounts ( and as usual, backed up with archaeological finds, genetic research, linguistics, etc for a greater understanding ) ... Thats right ... an invasion was assumed ..... in India ... ( but I wasnt talking about that, I was talking about their migrations generally, they were known to be a migratory people , a horse and cattle culture ) and that has become less popular, but I have heard good researchers still argue for an invasion , not from old school viewpoints but more from 'full circle' . Also some assert is was not even a migration. Others point to the evidence and say ' well what else caused this '. Others , very strict based evidence research say they only thing proved is some different pottery was found . Some have the view it all came out of India - OIT Out of India Theory . My view is the people have been going back and forwards for a very long time , that explains the genetics. We have some archaeology going back the 'other way' ; evidence of an IVC trading post up in Central Asia way before any 'invasion' dates. .... heck, we even have genetic 'evidence' of early Australoids in South America . here is 'a story' they built up from that 'evidence' ; https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/national/2015/07/22/discovery-change-view-human-history/' I could probably put up some papers of 'proof' genetic and otherwise to support all of the above views . The deeper one gets into the history of it, the deeper and more technical the arguments . If you want to pursue it deeper beyond general opinions ; http://historum.com/search.php?searchid=5074021 It needs to be read in context with Avestas and related 'scripture' . The idea ( an Indo-Iranian relationship between asura / daeva ) became out of fashion for some time ... until fairly recently with the work of Asko Parpola ; http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190226909.001.0001/acprof-9780190226909

... first, gets concerned and goes to her , next realises he totally stuffed up and tries to 'escape' by chucking a 'seizure' ... since one cant do that forever , next he recovers and invites all to 'join us in a circle ' .

see the old Lady at the end of the above ^ clip ? Good God, I hope she doesnt try that elsewhere ... we seen what can happen with such stupid suggestibility !

Oh yes .... I stand corrected .... Indra the 999 testicled one or... if you look closely Indra's hand is pulling the snout back bending the neck to expose the throat to cut wit the sword in his other hand ' .

'Monotheism' , under close inspection , usually emerges as a type of henotheism . Maybe not Islam ? In the earliest Vedas the Asuras are Gods that later 'fell from Grace' they become ' well-demonised' by the later Vedas. This was probably a political move after contention or war between two groups. Indra, far from being the hero, comes off like a violent self possessed warlord on crack ( soma ) and testosterone ( Indra - ' the thousand testicled one' - Rig Veda 6.45.3) * After the original establishment of the Asuras , both people ( who would later become Iranian and Indian ) had a similar religion ( Paoiryo-tkaesha - meaning keepers of the original ancient law. ) , hence the similarities you observed. Then there was a division between the two and the 'proto-Indians' developed a more 'pro military' / warlord society and gradually demonised the Gods of their now 'enemies'. The 'proto Zoroastrian' branch developed their own way, via Zoroastrianism , which, in this view is seen as a reformation movement of an earlier religion ; Ahura-tkaesha, the laws of the Lord (Ahura). Later , when there was open contention between the two groups the name (of the 'Zoroastrian religion') became Mazdayasno Zarathushtrish Vidaevo Ahura-Tkaesho, that is, Zarathushtrian Mazda-Worship opposed to the daeva through the laws of the Lord (Ahura) So, both were new developments and contrast between the 'old Gods' and the emerging militant 'Aryan Indian' development of the Gods is best observed in this passage - Rig Veda (4.42.1-6) ; * "I, Varuna, am the king; first for me were appointed the dignities of asura, the Lord. I let the dripping waters rise up, and through rta I uphold the sky." Indra replies, "Men who ride swiftly, having good horses, call on me when surrounded in battle. I, the bountiful Indra, provoke strife. I whirl up the dust, my strength is overwhelming... . No godlike power can check me - I who am unassailable. When draughts of Soma, when songs have made me frenzied, then both the unbounded regions are filled with fear." Here we see a 'Daeva' presiding over power and might while the asuras preside over the establishment of a moral and social order. For instance, the deva Indra is guardian of victory in battle while the asuras Varuna and Mitra are the guardians of the cosmic and moral laws . Its a usual process, during war or conflict to demonise the Gods of 'the other' , even if previously they were respected . Here we have 'Durga devi' killing Mahish-asura who is shown in the form of a buffalo demon.
