  1. They even survived an invasion !
  2. Doggies ! - I was a postman for a few years . Ya gotta learn all the tricks ! The above stuff wasn't required .
  3. For the Enlightened: A Question

    By fulfilling your own definition of what you think it is . Or maybe you have adopted a specific definition ?
  4. My natal chart

    Yes, that's the way to go about . read up on the planets and what they represent , then the houses they are in then the aspects they have with each other . Its tricky at first but after a little time it all starts coming together . When you have that down start adding the other planets and aspects and influences . Eventually it will be like a jigsaw puzzle, bits and patches of the picture will start to emerge . Eventually it should all fit together in your understanding ... like a giant kaleidoscope of 'person' . Then if you want to go further , you can turn the kaleidoscope and watch it change ( that's the daily or current chart . ) Then you can superimpose your natal over the daily - then you have transits . ... but that's in the future , don't rush ahead , get solid on the basics . ..... how do you feel today
  5. Srìmad Bhagavatam, first canto

    " ... universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal. " I am taking the three forces as 'unreal' and not the Universes .... no doubt a variation on the 'purport' I have written a lot about this ...... beyond the concept of the three Gunas . They are 'unreal' as they are not 'material ' ... solid .... three- dimensional , but their existence is postulated as factual as their evidence is everywhere found . The three modes of nature interact ( on which ever level we consider ; eg the strong force, the weak force and the electromagnetic force ) but are 'beyond the veil' , 'above the abyss ' , 'behind material existence ' . But when these 'ideal' forces interact the produce another thing that is 'real' and material - or a 'multitude of things ' ( everything ) which is the '4th' stage of the manifestation ... connected to the other three but not in a way we can 'see' ( to follow the above example those three forces can fit into a 'unified field theory ' but the 4th force, gravity , does not - as it is a product of the first three , not part of their 'set' . ) Which is why, in the Tao . 'the three gave birth to all things ' ; people mostly consider the duality of yin and yang and acknowledge that 'signature' in creation , but the 'principle of three' seems little discussed. And not only do these three lead inevitable to 4 , but these 4 operate in three modes ; have a look at the way your fingers are constructed . " Mysterious Energy, triform, mysterious Matter, in fourfold and sevenfold division, the interplay of which things weave the dance of the Veil of Life upon the Face of the Spirit ... " Here the sevenfold division relates to the planets and represents 7 forms of energy interacting within the 12 (3 x4 ) modes or 'fields' . ,
  6. We got lots of wild dogs here . Sometimes I hear them across the river at night in the forest . One crossed over the other night and nabbed a neighbors chicken ... that must have been a rare treat ! No other trouble though .

  8. when will human madness end?

    and that is a perfect example of 'black school Gnosticism ' For me , the lesson in Ecclesiates is not to finish it ! The actual answer is not to have empires, wives, riches, etc etc It is to do a good hard days work that achieves something and at the end of the day to relax with a glass of wine (or whatever ) and contemplate the good works you have done that day . ( Ecc , 2:24 )
  9. when will human madness end?

    Well apparently of you get 100 monkeys at typewriters ..... you will eventually get a piece suitable to post on Daobums !
  10. when will human madness end?

    Don't ask Lairg about it then ! When all else is defeated .... " Look Ralis ! I just KNOW ... okay ! " First they start with language , a challenge , some theory and logic . When that is met or pointed out to be wrong , sometimes even in their own 'field' and explanation .... its a 'default position ' ... " I just KNOW I am right ... ok !" This the way of the world nowadays or they don't answer , and go off elsewhere to do it all over again . and they will get likes ... and you be unpop . (and I don't mean you will get younger ) But I ask ... what 'diamond clarity ' perception does one own ... where 'just knowing' is pure and not influenced by that very 'knowing apparatus', its development upbringing and conditioning , in the first place ? THAT would seem a mistake of denying ANY ego influence . .
  11. when will human madness end?

    Well ... you might ..... if 'commies' start swarming out your drain inlets ! ( I saw a movie with that in it once .... a Russian invasion that landed on the coast and soldiers went up all the drain and sewer outlets and emerged in peoples yards, parking lots ...... You might need guns like that ... you might need Chuck too !
  12. Russian speakers help please

    Its effected some archaeology as well , especially in my area of specialty ; south Central Asia / ancient Margiana Archaeological Complex / BMAC / 'Oxus Civilisation' . Previously access was a little difficult , but one could 'play ball' with the Soviets , once you were 'in' you only had to deal with the central authority . Now one has to deal with Uzbekistan , Tajikistan and ( forget it ! ) Afghanistan to gain access to what was previously one area . (And it is just as bad the other way around .... back then one Soviet archaeologist specialist in that area was invited to USA for a conference . he was taken on sightseeing trip as well and like tourists do he was taking photo ... and talking in a Russian accent . later he got all messed up in some 'spy ' BS until his US counterpart professor bailed him out . ) And the most relevant parts ? Forget it ; aside from the difficulties of terrain isolation and weather ..... i the political / military situation there is near impossible . There has been one recent doco on it though ;
