  1. My experience against a demonic cultivator

    Why the note? The thread is in ‘The Rabbit Hole’; that’s described with ‘feel free to get weird’, I see no mention it has to be about Buddhism.
  2. Back on topic. “The serpent which came forth from the earth has risen; the flame which came forth from Nun is fallen.” That means his penis has risen and his brain has fallen in the gutter.
  3. Ancient Egyptians used eyeliner to represent the eye of some god(s) and evoke their protection. The eyeliner contained lead and/or antimony both highly toxic, can cause long-term damage to the brain and kidneys. Reminds me of the ancient Chinese 外丹 (wai4 dan1) Waidan; external alchemy (producing highly toxic ‘immortality’ potions).
  4. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    What’s with all this activity (a nungers rowing a boat and a cat planting mines), what happened to Wuwei (無爲) ? And they’re not being good ‘bums’, bums are very ‘spiritual’ and therefore peaceful.
  5. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    @Apech I think the journey from his home to West Africa, took less time than the time already spent crawling along the top part of the Western side. It’s like the ancient Greek Dichotomy Paradox of Zeno of Elea, he will never arrive.
  6. JK Rowling and Hermeticism

    According to Rowland, she chose the name to characterise Hermione's parents (the parents chose the name to show of how educated they are); the story itself was not relevant to the character of Hermione.

    That’s very interesting, thanks for the info.
  15. Alchemy, is it real ??

    Imo the “smth that is ‘not inside nor outside’ “ refers to it all being a simile, a mental tool. “cavity”/ “palace” (also ‘growing an embryo’), it is all the ‘womb’ simile. 子宮 (zǐgōng) womb (literally "child palace"). The “void” is the empty womb.
  16. JK Rowling and Hermeticism

    Hermione's name, according to Rowling, was inspired by Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale.
