Hmmmmm .......
  2. Color scales vary according to what 'world' you are in . " The Golden Dawn uses a total of four sets of separate scales of colours, and each of these are named after the court cards of the Golden Dawn Tarot, namely the: King Scale, which is positive and masculine and relates to the Element of Fire, the Qabalistic (archetypal and casual) World of Atziluth and the letter Yod of Tetragrammaton. In the Tarot it relates to the Kings (Knights) and the Suit of Wands. Queen Scale, which is negative and feminine and relates to the Element of Water, the Qabalistic (creative and mental) World of Briah and the letter Heh of Tetragrammaton. In the Tarot it relates to the Queens and the Suit of Cups. Prince Scale, which is positive and masculine and relates to the Element of Air, the Qabalistic (formative and astral) World of Yetzirah and the letter Vau of Tetragrammaton. In the Tarot it relates to the Princes (Kings) and the Suit of Swords. Princess Scale, which is negative and feminine and relates to the Element of Earth, the Qabalistic (active and material) World of Assiah and the letter Heh (final) of Tetragrammaton. In the Tarot it relates to the Princesses (Knaves) and the Suit of Pentacles or Coins. Now each of these colour scales are divided according to the 32 Paths of Wisdom of the Qabalah. This is a reference to the Tree of Life, which is divided into 10 Sephiroth and the 22 Paths (corresponding the 22 Hebrew letters) that connect these Sephiroth, thus making 32 in total. In most situations of the practical application of the Golden Dawn system of attributions the Adept only uses the King and Queen Scales, with the exception of the Tarot which uses all four in the colouring of the Cards. But in most cases of theurgical practice the Magician uses the King Scale for the three hierarchies of 5 Elements, 7 Planets and 12 Signs of the Zodiac. In the work with the 10 Sephiroth the Adept instead uses the Queen Scale. This means that the Adept uses the first 10 Paths of the Queen Scale and the last 22 of the King Scale. This produces a particular version of the Tree of Life which is traditionally called the Minutum Mundum. " http://www.golden-dawn.org/generation-of-three-colour-wheels-of.html
  3. It means you had a visualisation of the 'Middle Pillar' ... hold that ! It could come in very handy ; http://www.davedavies.com/splanet/magic3.htm
  4. Syria, Aleppo and the truth

    I think I remember this happening to me at my first year in High School . Instead of untangling the spaghetti, It might just be easier to consider it an 'all in brawl'

  6. Living off grid

    Well, this really sucks ! http://www.thedailysheeple.com/court-officials-who-jailed-a-veteran-for-living-off-grid-were-just-doing-their-jobs_122016 Tyler is a vet and lives quietly with his GF and harvests his own electricity from the sun and water from rain ...... NO YOU DONT .... you will buy our water and electricity or you will go to jail ! They actually are putting a vet in jail for living off grid . That double sucks ! Makes me angry too ! - I have an older friend - Viet Vet ..... boy does he get a hard time ! The gov ripped him off heaps .... and he was looking after a fully disabled daughter as a single father at the time .... stopped his payments and treated him like crap when he tried to sort it out, so he got agitated and they called the cops and locked him up ! WTF is going on here ? !
  7. What caused the Twin Towers to collapse?

    Nope ... someone did it with good knowledge of 'what was done' . Was my point. How many people, companies , organisations can do that ? Not that I want to spoil your fun in making out I am idiot ...... to appease you I shall wear accordion pants for the rest of the week ;
  8. What caused the Twin Towers to collapse?

    Oh sorry , yes ...... something did it ..... that better ? Wot ? A robot ?
  9. If 'God' was considerate enough to get me a good mattress and gave me regular bowl movements ..... I would have thought he would be considerate enough to stop high altitude fire bombing of children in 'other ' parts of the world .
  10. How to deal with people who won't stop arguing?

    But these aren't 'people' ! These are parents ! By the way ... what job were you doing and what type of shovel was it. You could then ask us advice on whether it was the right shovel or not , and then go back and show them the collated results and TELL THEM which one was right .... and then run
  11. How to deal with people who won't stop arguing?

    Ummmmmmmm ..... leave home ? Get your own place ?
  12. What caused the Twin Towers to collapse?

    someone must know as 'someone' and their assistants, with good knowledge in implosion demolition spent a lot of time inside the guts of the building getting it all rigged . Still dont get what all that poring out molten metal looking stuff was ? Seems too much for a thermite charge to cut through some beams ???? lso, the time delay between plane stick and collapse .... ?
  13. Ho ho ho !

    because ...... Santa brawl !

  16. Bottled Water Companies: How Does it Work?

    How they work depends on what level. Guy buys some cheap land in Tasmania. he puts up all these 'roofs' ; poles holding up slanted roofing 'tin' sheets and big water tanks. Collects the rain and bottles it. he doesnt go big scale but ams at 'botique water' market in Europe. He markets it as pristine , environmental , way down there, untouched, pure Tasmanian ........ water. High priced too ; ' quality, not quantity ' ....... and research and marketing , keep big biz and plant costs down and skyrocket sales price . Enough for him to get by nicely , no big biz hassles and still live in Tassie in a nice place (without wrecking it ) .
  17. Applying chi to martial arts.

    Definitely ! If someone goes to hit or grab me I attack the offending ... thingo . Soon that 'thingo' learns not to do that . MSSR is full of such techniques. The kick block with a simultaneous upside down fist strike with the other hand into and behind the shin bone , flick block, move to outside and smash the elbow. If I am attacking your arms, I am out of range for a body or head hit from you . When I was a youngun , I won a karate comp by fighting my way to the top and had to fight big tall giant reach of a guy that had creamed everyone previously ... also it was the open section and he was black and I was green . He did this giant side kick and I stepped back and slammed a backfist down on to his ankle bone . But you dont get a point for that, even though it stopped him. Then he stuck his fists almost in my face and he was still out of range from a kick from me ! So I kicked his hand .. and he stepped forward and went owwie owwie and shook it and held it ... as I was moving forward with a head punch ... two opposing forces - thats a point ! A whole one ... I win ! He was furious ! But had to wear it .... competition ... rules ... that stuff. Similar principle with sword; I can move off line or to side and 'take the wrist' while remaining outside of the range for a body cut ... against me . Thing is, a lot of these techniques are easily applied to 'basic karate' (when it got imported to Japan from Okinawa , it started , first as a PE system for primary school kids and later as a sport , they removed the nerve and joint smashes, eye gouges and pinned arms throws (so you cant breakfall or roll out ) ... not good for kiddies. A lot they turned into 'block punch' or just obscure kata movements with no accompanying bunkia ( explanation application and demonstration of a movement - well maybe after years and years of training and money and belt gradings and subservience ... you might get shown the 'secrets' ) One of Mr Nishihira's (and now mine ) fav technique. A comes in with some type of punching L R (or RL ) combo ; he throws R - You dodge (to your) right , defect punch with a R hand strike to his R LU 8 or 9 with R middle finger middle knuckle , as you cross hands * , he throws L - Dodge left, unfold hands (open wings ) , hit with R back fist middle knuckle up and into his L ulna nerve (at 'funny bone ' ) , you L hand now controls his R and you have entered inside both his arms ; slide step forward and swipe down cheekbone with R middle knuckles . That is if the other guy didnt immediately back off and is now hopping from leg to leg unable to decide whether to nurse and hold his r dead forearm or whole dead L arm ..... as I did, the first time it was 'demoed' on me * Form has a large 'white crane ' influence .
  18. .

    I was wondering why you dont just continue as you have been ? There must be something you perceive in or from the initiation process specifically that you are after , other than continuing on with eclectic studies, systems and experiments ? Overall most systems of initiation are for social and personally interactive purposes (meaning the socio-cultural aspects of initiation and having contact with an initiator and others ) , there are other dynamics as well, and I suppose those are what you seek (as a self initiation system would discount the other things I mentioned ), so I wondering what one seeks from a self initiation system ? I suppose the 'dedication' aspect could help one , one could gain some benefit from that in a self constructed 'initiation' rite . One example that comes to mind is Maggie Krosby's ( Andahadna) 'Maatian self initiation rite ' where one uses the chakras to focus and dedicate certain energies , attributed to each chakra .
  19. Applying chi to martial arts.

    I saw a 'spar' - one guy in his late 70s, the other in early 60s. Younger one got a lift throw in and slammed the older down back fist , on a wooden gym floor ! I didnt like that ... I thought , he shouldnt do that to an old man like that . Then they guy does one of those get up off you back in a one movement flip, up on to both feet, in a stance and guard up and moves in on the other ! They all have their own ideas about it. In Okinawa it was said , due to diet, they used to have some of the oldest healthiest people. Used to. Diet has changed and now polluted currents affect fishing on one side of the islands (head teacher used to fish and ate fish from on 'wrong side' ). He didnt have a traditional long old age , he died a few years back from brain cancer . Also, I heard (via him ) " No young one to to pass family traditions on to ..... eat at McDonalds and hang around US base all day . " When he died, that tradtition was finished
  20. Rad bushfire

    Been going since 4 am . Now three choppers trying to control it ( but its been soooo dry , river is too low in the usual spots for a chopper to get its bucket in ) If it gets over that ridge to the west, it will be down into the base of the escarpment cliffs, with a big dry plateau above it. Last time it got into the base of the cliffs, there are steep ravines choked with old dry logs and stuff, there were four going off along the cliffs at night like Roman candles. The usual easterly from the ocean running up the valley just started about an hour ago. Should be wild visuals tonight ! Hopefully, like last time, it wont spread beyond there . But I went up the steep mountain on friday (by road ) and I realise how dry it was and how much fuel there was ... ready to go at any moment ! Thunderclouds approaching ... but being driven back by easterly . Hmmmm ... mabe a night of Roman Candles and lightning ! I'm off up the hill to spy what I can .

    Bummer ! How far away from it is your place Brian ? ... and what the hell is in that pink maroon stuff ! ?
  22. Gatlinburg On Fire

    Yikes ! makes my little one seem like a smoking ashtray !
  23. Rad bushfire

    Conclusion; It started spreading up the other side of the valley at the base of the escarpment - towards farms . Then this big 4 prop air force plane flew down the valley at low altitude, came back and dumped about a 1 km long run of chemicals on it . and then it rained and put the fire out anyway . So .... chemicals dumped on the rain forest and National Park, a few hundred metres back from the river, with the rain washing it into the ground and river - great ! What the hell was in that stuff ! ?
  24. Marble Gardens & Fish Ponds

    While I was away I lost one of my bigger fish to a black snake . I seen him snooping around there. Also I lost 3 and one of them getting large , spotted bristle nose catfish, all dead on the bottom (fish guy said they can eat this algae in the water that only affects them ) I replaced them with two new natives in the inside tank ; crimson spotted rainbow fish . I'll go native from nw on , as I had not realised how many amazing little native colorful fish there are .... and cold water, so no need to go tropical .
