  5. Emerald Tablet

    As I understand it one of the properties of the 'one thing' ...i.e. the philosophers stone is that not only is it perfect in itself but it perfects anything it comes into contact with ... thus it perfects base metal by converting it to gold and in this sense multiplies the gold. Not sure about jesus and the fish ... in fact wasn't it two fishes and five loaves?

    says the fresh-cut grass... no word .... it's grass and cut .... so it only mowns.
  7. Emerald Tablet

    As above, so below. The difference between alchemy and chemistry is the inclusion of spirit/consciousness in the process. So actually even though I would guess most of us prefer to concentrate on inner alchemy (including me) ultimately there is no difference. Mastering one's self of course would be essential to either approach. Its an alchemical universe ... in that we exist in a field of dynamic interacting energy .... everything connected ... everything inter-connected ... good way to view things I think

    Drew, Have you tried sending supportive energy to your sister. It's tough bringing up kids and I don't suppose anyone gets everything right. Maybe she just needs some love and not criticism ... this would help baby too. Just a thought.

  18. Emerald Tablet

    .... concerning the Egypt/Atlantis issue : I tend to use the orthodox (i.e. currently accepted scientific view of human history) ... but only because if I write for wide audience then it avoids unnecessary controversy cos the ideas still fit. But of course its obvious that this orthodox view will and must change ... sites like Gobekli Tepe and Nabta Playa show that skills like building with stone were around close to the end of the ice age and it is almost certain I think that sooner or later this will be pushed back even further opening the door to Atlantis and other lost civilisations. To the ancients this knowledge (the Emerald Tablet and so on) was termed Ante-Diluvian ... i.e. pre-flood. If we view the flood itself as a record of the massive rise in seas levels accompanying the end of the ice age then it seems they are saying the same thing ... that is the priests of Egypt, Sumeria, Indus Valley and China were heirs to a more ancient knowledge from before the Ice Age of which we now have fragments.

  21. Ubuntu

    Hi, Having moved from Windoze 98 and then XP to an iBook and then a MacBook a few years ago ... and sworn never to return ... I find that I am now resenting the 2X or 3X mark up in price from a reasonable lap-top to a MacBook pro ... Apple stuff is way over priced there is no doubt and I think its a bubble that will burst in the next few years. SO ... I am thinking of buying a decent mid range Windows Lap-top and putting Ubuntu on it. I've used Ubuntu at the local library and it seems ok. I've looked at 12.10 and 12.04 ... does anyone use this now? What's it like? Good to use ... any probs. Compare to OSX??? Which version should I go for ... is Unity OK? Thanks in advance to anyone who knows! Apech.
  22. Ubuntu

    Well I've had a look round for this but am put off by what most people are saying: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2013/03/12/dual-boot-windows-8-and-ubuntu-12-04-in-uefi-mode/ so am reluctant to try and might just put up with the awful Windows 8.
