How should Christians address evil?
Nungali replied to Sanity Check's topic in Abrahamic Religions Discussion
John Wick ? No . I think Buster Scruggs is a better one to combat ... if not evil, at least bad manners and ill considerations ! -
Where are the High Level Martial Artists/Fighters at?
Nungali replied to Goden's topic in The Rabbit Hole
He turned up with his Mum ( who is a local indigenous elder ) for the festival that is going on here at the moment . So we slipped a session in . But being a 'hippy peace festival' I decided to slip off somewhere private , so we went into a clearing in the bamboo grove , Wow, flashbacks . I havent trained in that bamboo grove for years ! he is keen to do some sword so we did that . Sword in bamboo grove is very interesting, once you are out of any cleared space into the thicker parts , you can only do vertical cuts and thrusts between the bamboo. and to avoid a cut the other can move away from the 'gap' between bamboo culms, very 'tactical' game . It also gave me a chance to demonstrate one of teachers points about footwork ; he had a very distinctive style of a sort of deliberate lift up put down of the feet . No sliding feet around , making arcs , etc . Why ? because in the real world the ground is nothing like a dojo or gym floor ... or even a grass lawn . ..... I caught my foot on a bamboo stump and 'faltered ' .... slash ! .... me 'dead' .- 188 replies

Agreed . How can anyone involved in the western magical tradition NOT appreciate Tool ... even if one does not like that type of music . I was presenting a little agricultural talk as a way of explaining my 3:4 observation * ( not 'theory' as it is an observation from nature ) . I draw a triangle on the whiteboard and label each corner N P K - nitrogen , phosphorous , potassium ; the three main elements needed for good soil and plant growth . BUT more is needed , the 'micro nutrients ' ( much smaller amounts ) . So I draw a line across the inside the bottom left corner to represent them . There are three main micro nutrients and a bunch of lesser ones , so now we can label the three points of this triangle in the corner of the bigger one . and also draw a line across its inner bottom left for the lesser ones and guess what ... within that there are three major ones and a bunch of lesser ones . I paused and looked at the drawing ... it only just dawned on me .... hey ! Thats a fractal ! Fractal ; in which similar patterns recur at progressively smaller scales, and in describing partly random or chaotic phenomena such as crystal growth and galaxy formation. * its in my PP .

Even switching from wheat to rye helps (in bread ) and from oats to rye (in porridge) . Barley was big in the ancient near east , still is today in some Iranian food . Bread ( made from various natural grains ) is an ancient food .... if you look it up it will say ' Oooooo several thousand years in the middle east . Errrmmmm ... try '' The world's first bread was likely made by Indigenous Australians, using seeds from native plants, with evidence of grinding stones dating back over 30,000 years at sites like Cuddie Springs in New South Wales. This practice predates the development of baking in ancient Egypt by thousands of years and represents one of the world's oldest and most sophisticated continuous agricultural traditions, making Indigenous Australians the world's first bakers. '' of course they did not use wheat but natural grass seeds, legumes. nuts and roots . Aussie grinding stones : Most of the time they would be left at a camp, but sometimes they would be taken with them .... Aboriginal woman walking far across the land with a ring of twisted bark on her head and the huge heavy grinding stone on top, baby on one hip and a hand full of other stuff ( digging sticks, etc ) on the other side ...... wow !

Anthropological Types of People Living in Los Angeles
Nungali replied to Lois's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Anthropological type ? An "anthropological type" refers to a discredited historical concept from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that involved categorizing humans into distinct racial groups based on observable physical traits like skin color or head shape Like Nazis and Apartheid used to do ! . This typological model, used to define categories such as Negroid or Caucasoid races, is now considered scientifically invalid and is rejected by modern anthropology. Current understanding acknowledges that such traits are simple variations influenced by environmental factors, not inherent categories of people. You might be trying to talk about 'ethnic groups' ?
