Someone said - I can’t remember who , that all magic is either binding or unbinding spells. Your Bard / boundary would fit with this. Odin is an interesting god - his original name meant something like king of the frenzy or perhaps inspiration.

A bit of synchronicity here as I was thinking of starting a thread on Hermes/ Mercury, Thoth and Woden. As these gods were thought of in antiquity as being equivalent.

Hi and welcome. You could ask your question in General or Daoist sections.

You'll have to get used to wayward Daobums conversations - you start out with one thing and end up god know where

we call it grilled in the UK - broiled sounds like boiled!

oh you mean grilled!

Broiled?

If you had half a brain you could make cauliflower cheese:

And the Lord said : pick up your zafu and walk. And she did walk and the people were amazed.

Plotinus said: “This is the life of gods and of godlike and blessed men: release from all earthly bonds, a life that takes no delight in earthly things, the flight of the alone to the Alone.”

I will let those more learned than me answer about hun and po - but the search function on here has always been weak and sometimes it’s better to use google to search - something like ‘the DaoBums hun and po’ might work.

See my second paragraph

Thoughts are your friends. They help you recognise, organise and understand both your internal world and the external world. Without them you would be lost. Thoughts are your ally, your companion, your way to wisdom. If your thoughts are conflicted, chaotic, relentless, annoying, repetitive, banal, seemingly pointless. Then it you that is imbalanced, conflicted, stupid or mixed up. Find stillness and balance and your thoughts will be healed. But do not criticise them or disown them because they are your friends. Oh but, you say, reality is non-conceptual. True. Absolute reality is non-conceptual in that it cannot be grasped through concepts. But then again is there anything that is not the Absolute? If there is then it is not the real Absolute. The Absolute is the ultimate subject of your thoughts, if those thoughts are taken to their ultimate conclusion. To define the subject we use the often misunderstood formula: S = S + P(n) where S is the subject and P is the predicate of the subject (to the nth term). Or in other words the Absolute = the Absolute plus everything. Chew on that!

Hi and welcome.

Thanks I miss him. We had six cats but only one left

I had a cat that looked just like that - he died a couple of weeks ago.

yep - done.

Rather amazed to find this is in the National Library of Medicine ... and I'm not saying I endorse this interpretation but ... here it is: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6649877/

What’s this thread about, again? lol (already multiple splits from original)

Bravo.

Science is nice, and science can stop you, From doing all the things in life you’d like to. If there’s something you’d like to try, If there’s something you’d like to try, Ask me I won’t say no how could I?

Not strictly relevant but I managed to reduce my intra- ocular pressure from 21 to 16 by palming, acupressure and massaging round the eye sockets.

That's a good observation and ties in with Egyptian thought, I think. I think I read her some years ago - but I can't remember too much. Yes. Gosh, interesting. But is the taboo to protect the process or a real fear of the dead? I mean they may think something is going on, a process which can be damaged by attention and so it become taboo to speak of it - if you see what I mean. Sorry for the terrible typing - I just read through it and realised I skipped a few letters
