the evolution of tool users? (has pros and cons)

cats would eat the cheese but probably not the cauliflower...unless straving.

like trained or acquired muscle memory for certain physical actions/reactions without the slower process of only thinking through a task...also our instinctive type actions or reactions. Btw, some folks have trained and acquired a lot verbal muscle memory in their mouths, lol sometimes.

being somewhat of a gear head your post also translates to me in the sense of a V-8 engine that is designed, built and tuned up very well, and for that to happen all of its parts must work together resulting in good power at the crankshaft which is then hooked to a transmission and the rest of the drive train and finally to the tires where the rubber meets the road...wa-la. (alas, most internal combustion engines lose a lot of energy in various forms like heat, friction and moving their inherent weight around thus the never ending and creative engineering efforts to greatly reduce such losses!)

surely you are not forgetting the subtle and not subtle examples throughout the past couple of thousand years of how evil has often co-opted Christianity for its purposes? ....(and which Jesus saw coming way ahead of time)

hmm, then again thoughts can be like a viscous circle if one can never take a rest from them...we are not thoughts we are really more the energy flowing through thought forms that come and go...granted it is great to have things/thoughts controlled/organized as much as possible.

"No, you should not remove barnacles from sea creatures yourself unless you are a trained professional. Improper removal can cause pain, stress, and serious harm to the animal, including skin and shell damage that can lead to infection. If a creature has a heavy infestation, it likely indicates an underlying health issue, and the best action is to contact a local marine wildlife rescue or veterinary professional for safe and appropriate treatment." agreed

real problems include creatures hurting other creatures past what could called be natural balances, like that algae bloom regardless of its causes.

"right" there was a lot of bumbling Ai or other fake editing in that video but it was also in the spirit of pointing at some the suffering of various sea creatures which mankind sometimes helps mitigate, which I say is not to be dismissed out of hand. (and not all of it was Ai created, thus was mixed in with some obviously real photos)

not to worry, being that if or when the atomic bombs fall most of us and the natural world will be vaporized, thus our almighty intellects, profound achievement's or "non-duality" sayings will not be enough to hold back the karma we have made. Btw., and in that case the gods and masters won't be able to protect all of us or other life forms, including many of our families, friends, associates and young kids in the world from horrific suffering, granted some folks will be lifted up for long-time sojourns in nice astral worlds per their karma... in the meantime after (?) who knows how many years the Earth will finally be purified and recovered and then spiritualized souls will finally be able to come back here. A side note: the old time dictators like Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and a hundred others are "small fry" compared to the demon of the 7th hell now at the gates. "Fear not" still holds true but is a very long ways down the tunnel...Take care during this dark night until the morning sun shines.

didn't know this about black cats. (sorry Apech, looks like your white fur dna could change for the better? ) We had a pure black cat for years, she was an excellent cat!

looks like they had some special release agents/soaps besides the water sprays and several other tools to help loosen all those gobs of barnacle type plants from the whales and other animals skin... (yes, apparently the monk seal is almost extinct, except for this one !?)

Condolences for your loss Steve. (as it is sometimes said, "bon voyage" for him)

speaking of the sea here are some sea creatures being helped...incredible

that sounds like a thought....

when thinking stops spirit takes over

she said female cats are normally closer to Tao than often warring tom cats.

and hopefully organs still have all their marbles intact, as for muscles if torn up badly surgeons can hopefully sew them back up. (one example being the ACL)

Ai had this to add: "The brain is often called the "largest sex organ" because it is the central control for sexual arousal, pleasure, and response, directing physical and psychological processes. It regulates libido, emotions like pleasure and safety, and the physical responses of erection, lubrication, and orgasm. Key brain regions like the hypothalamus, amygdala, and cerebellum work in concert with sensory feedback from the body to orchestrate the entire sexual experience."

the physical earth is the body of a great spiritual soul, the earth will evolve to be heaven like through Her and her helpers.

Moral outrage and speaking out against the inhumanity that is beating down on and harming people through out the world means nothing to those who have destroyed their own once decent humanity, in fact the adharmic/demonic driven gleefully laugh at those that still have a decent measure of "live and let live" humanity. Still, speaking out against and revealing such forces does have meaningful impact for those who are watching, listening, and working towards better times but again such is meaningless and an obstruction to those who are very busy in furthering the evils that they have sold out their souls to, fallen for or buried the truths of. (could also happen via insidious mind control and or other forms of coercion, subtle or not so subtle) Dharma is universal and not just a matter of human opinions or religions to define or control.

"non-violent in thought and action" is a core Hindu/yogic precept which is also taught in many other ways. Yet we live in a very violent world where violence is sometimes needed for self-defense. Turn on the news and its mostly reporting forms of violence, with some being minor and some being horrific going on almost 24/7 throughout the world of humanity! How can one really be 100% non-violent (unless truly and fully enlightened with "tough love") when or if using violence in self-defense? "As above so below" is a nice sounding saying yet its apparent that there is violence throughout all the realms "above" (a.k.a. war in heaven or between angles and demons) except for the very highest or purest. Bypassing and or acting above it all is a cop out and not a solution, thus goes the ages old struggle we are in... btw the Book of Revelations is chalk full of unrestrained and great violence besides whatever metaphors or allegory it has...

the transcendent (a.k.a. or also pointed to by other terms) is not bound to or ruled by change, change will never be satisfied or still as the greater reality of the transcendent is...yet our human self must deal with change which it is part of.

the higher one goes the more instantaneously karma can kick in; btw with the flood gates for evil overflowing lately here on earth one may wonder when its karma will give it a kick? ""God" does not interfere with human events", except when or for instance....?
