Aaaaaand @Lairg.. for what it is worth, I value your contributions. Truth be told, some of it strikes me as a little «out there» and diffuse at this moment, but judging by the interactions we have had, I do genuinely belive you are in touch with the supernatural. Ofc, I can’t take everything you say on blind faith, but I don’t think you want me to do that either. Jaya Lairg!

Plasma My interesset in the natural sciences is very limited, but I recently heard about a fourth state of matter (beyond liquid, frozen and gas) called plasma, that apperantly consistutes 99.9% of this universe of ours. To me, this belongs in stranger things as it is very strange to me. Q: I am considering opening a thread about this in the section where the rabbits go and explore, in hope to learn more about this. Is this of interest, and do someone here have a good understanding of plasma?

My ambition is to be a heavenly cow.

I can’t either

No mystic is 100% limited to any one interpretation of any singular book. Mysticism encompasses religious traditions of human transformation aided by various practices [1] and religious experiences.[2][note 1][note 2] Popularly, mysticism is used synonymously with mystical experience, a neologism which refers to an ecstatic unitive experience of becoming one with God, the Absolute, or all that exists.[3][4]

Nah idk, haven’t really looked into any region in any depth. I just vibe with the Christ, and not sure how useful the term abrahamic religions are either. And there are no limits of mystics in either one of the countless traditions and offspring’s of… the book, or what to call it. Like Meister Eckhart here: "God is infinite in his simplicity and simple in his infinity. Therefore he is everywhere and is everywhere complete. He is everywhere on account of his infinity, and is everywhere complete on account of his simplicity. Only God flows into all things, their very essences. Nothing else flows into something else. God is in the innermost part of each and every thing, only in its innermost part." So no, not agreed. You’ll find plenty of «dualist» thinking wherever you go. And yeah, the common tread was «touching the feet» ahaha. take care meine Freunde.

Judging by the humility, honesty and philosophy of that comment, I’m tempted to say it has been a great success

I am reading this text (that I have created a thread about and will link to at the bottom) that is suprisingly relevant to this one. "And the fifth meaning of budh is to fathom. A depth is there in you, a bottomless depth, which has to be fathomed. Or, the fifth meaning can be to penetrate, to drop all that obstructs and penetrate to the very core of your being, the heart. That's why this sutra is called the Heart Sutra - Prajnaparamita Hridayam Sutra - to penetrate. People try to penetrate many things in life. Your urge, your great desire for sex is nothing but a kind of penetration. But that is a penetration into the other. The same penetration has to happen into your own being: you have to penetrate yourself. If you penetrate somebody else it can give you a momentary glimpse, but if you penetrate yourself you can attain to the universal cosmic orgasm that remains and remains and remains. A man meets an outer woman, and a woman meets an outer man: this is a very superficial meeting - yet meaningful, yet it brings moments of joy. When the inner woman meets the inner man... And you are carrying both inside you: a part of you is feminine, a part of you is masculine. Whether you are man or woman does not matter; everybody is bisexual. The fifth meaning of the root budh means penetration. When your inner man penetrates your inner woman there is a meeting; you become whole, you become one. And then all desires for the outer disappear. In that desirelessness is freedom, is nirvana." An intelligent person does not escape from any fact. If it is fear he will go into it - because the way out is through. If he feels fear and trembling arising in him, he will leave everything aside: first this fear has to be gone through. He will go into it, he will try to understand. He will not try how not to be afraid; he will not ask that question. He will simply ask one question: "What is this fear? It is there, it is part of me, it is my reality. I have to go into it, I have to understand it. If I don't understand it then a part of me will always remain unknown to me. And how am I going to know who I am if I go on avoiding parts? I will not understand fear, I will not understand death, I will not understand anger, I will not understand my hatred, I will not understand my jealousy, I will not understand this and that..." Then how are you going to know yourself? All these things are you! This is your being. You have to go into everything that is there, every nook and corner. You have to explore fear. Even if you are trembling it is nothing to be worried about: tremble, but go in. It is far better to tremble than to escape, because once you escape, that part will remain unknown to you, and you will become more and more afraid to look at it because that fear will go on accumulating. It will become bigger and bigger if you don't go into it right now, this moment. Tomorrow it will have lived twenty-four hours more. Beware! - it will have got more roots in you, it will have bigger foliage, it will become stronger; and then it will be more difficult to tackle. It is better to go right now, it is already late. And if you go into it and you see it... And seeing means without prejudice. Seeing means that you don't condemn fear as bad from the very beginning. Who knows? - it is not bad. Who knows that it is? The explorer has to remain open to all the possibilities; he cannot afford a closed mind. A closed mind and exploration don't go together. He will go into it. If it brings suffering and pain, he will suffer the pain but he will go into it. Trembling, hesitant, but he will go into it: "It is my territory, I have to know what it is. Maybe it is carrying some treasure for me? Maybe the fear is only there to protect the treasure." That's my experience, that's my understanding: if you go deep into your fear you will find love. That's why it happens that when you are in love, fear disappears. And when you are afraid you cannot be in love. What does this mean? A simple arithmetic - fear and love don't exist together. That means it must be the same energy that becomes fear; then there is nothing left to become love. It becomes love; then there is nothing left to become fear. Go into fear, Prageet, Vidya, and all others who are feeling afraid. Go into it, and you will find a great treasure. Hidden behind fear is love, and hidden behind anger is compassion, and hidden behind sex is samadhi.

But since I am qouting the bible in a thread about worry... what could possibly be more fitting than this section: Do Not Worry 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Luke 7:36-50 New Century Version A Woman Washes Jesus’ Feet 36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, so Jesus went into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table. 37 A sinful woman in the town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house. So she brought an alabaster jar of perfume 38 and stood behind Jesus at his feet, crying. She began to wash his feet with her tears, and she dried them with her hair, kissing them many times and rubbing them with the perfume. 39 When the Pharisee who asked Jesus to come to his house saw this, he thought to himself, “If Jesus were a prophet, he would know that the woman touching him is a sinner!” 40 Jesus said to the Pharisee, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” Simon said, “Teacher, tell me.” 41 Jesus said, “Two people owed money to the same banker. One owed five hundred coins[a] and the other owed fifty. 42 They had no money to pay what they owed, but the banker told both of them they did not have to pay him. Which person will love the banker more?” 43 Simon, the Pharisee, answered, “I think it would be the one who owed him the most money.” Jesus said to Simon, “You are right.” 44 Then Jesus turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I came into your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss of greeting, but she has been kissing my feet since I came in. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she poured perfume on my feet. 47 I tell you that her many sins are forgiven, so she showed great love. But the person who is forgiven only a little will love only a little.” 48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” 49 The people sitting at the table began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” 50 Jesus said to the woman, “Because you believed, you are saved from your sins. Go in peace.” Håvamål Wisdom for Wanderers and Counsel to Guests

Forgive me, that was just for the laughs. Allthough it is great. What Id like to share and explore with you, is the text I recently discovered and that both ressonates and fascinates. It is a talk by Osho, where he talk about Buddha - that is, awakened intelligence. He covers surrender, conditioning, presence. Lots of stuff. Lots of great stuff I think many fellow bums will find of interreset. What to discuss, where to post this, idk, but Ill leave you the link and we will see where it goes (or doesnt go) from here: https://oshosearch.net/Convert/Articles_Osho/The_Heart_Sutra/Osho-The-Heart-Sutra-00000008.html

I mean, I could, but it is not going to clarify much. Knowledge of Lemuria: 0. Choice of word might have been strange, but wasn’t that deep. Just associated the word with «somewhere around that general area. That’s all.

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते। पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते॥ "That is whole. This is whole. From wholeness, wholeness emerges. Taking wholeness from wholeness, wholeness alone remains". ~ Invocation from the Isha Upanishad

O Lord Krsna, please protect me and maintain me. O Lord Rama, descendant of King Raghu, please protect me. O Krsna, O Kesava, killer of the Kesi demon, please maintain me. Here I will, at the very least, study one verse each day, quote the text as well as purport by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, and possibly some reflections on it. I have already read the intro and first chapter. I’ll skip the intro here, but will start again from chapter one. I very much hope someone would like to participate in it. best wishes! edit: apologies, the purport and Sanskrit is not available at vedabase, but as I have it in print as well, I might scan and include it by request!

Being boring.

I hope to learn about various aboriginal wisdom from you in the new subforum

But @Nungali, what is going on with Torres Strait Islanders? Curious place, Lemuria is. Very curious is indeed.

The great forgettingin. and The great remembering.
