No its not Jimmy Savile its Rod Hull and Emu.

Ha! I started this thread in 2009 ... no I stopped coffee for a while but then went back. I like it too much. But I do use decaff now for some of the time ... use a filter machine ... the coffee in Portugal is good.

That's me on the left with Rod.

I already have a rod which I am very attached to ...

After you solved the riddle as well! Generous.

one kind word spoken was fuckoffouttamyface happy to do so.

Just to say that I really enjoyed the OP quote and the recorded chanting ... I found it moving ... but now yet again we have a thread about a few people's obsessions with ... well whatever they are obsessed about. I must admit I didn't finish that book ... but I will go back to it. It is excellent and makes the point that the images of tantra were developed in a feudal society and reflect that. However for me the point is this ... effective teachings are those that work ... that have an effect ... the reason Buddhism adapted in that way was because it was effective. Those forms of practice still work ... or this is my experience anyway from having received Buddhist initiations and practiced sadhanas ... probably one day the images may get adapted if that proves to be effective too.

Maybe someone gave him a thousand dollars.

The mods can change your screen name if you want.

Thank you.

dance the night away... I feel like Cate Blanchett in Benjamin Button.

i'd do the Samba... on my own, but you know well a tango takes two.

certainly Brazilian... here I stand with arms outstretched high above Rio.

Me - "do you ever concentrate so hard on something that you don't hear when people are talking to you?" .................. Me - Mom! ................. Me - MooooooM! ................ Me - Oh never mind.

Cut some more and it will be the last of the mohicans.

Well Chenping ... you go your way and I'll go mine.

The lawn in the nude... not shaved or Brazilian your own triangle.

God's gift to mankind... that child fell from the great sky only to shed tears.

She's Hilarias.

Hitler did try to force his worldview on everybody. I don't see this as strong but weak in the sense that he could not tolerate the existence of different views. I don't identify with the weak. I see weak and strong as two poles of the same thing. So without weak there is no strong, without strong there is no weak. They are dualist concepts and values. Simple means 'without folds' so if my mind is without unnecessary ambiguity then so be it ... I am simple. But they did not submit. This is a historical fact. So his decision was flawed. Yes they rebuilt their economy with the aid of the Marshall Plan a deliberate policy of the USA to prevent war. How many people do you employ? This does not perplex me at all. Cain murdered his brother and then lied about it. What is strong about that? I don't see jesus as weak ... although I am not a christian. I'm not upset ... I haven't been upset ... I know the rules.

I think Hancock is wrong ...I think that shamanism did not begin or coincide with cave art I think that cave art began because practices had to changed to offset the gradual loss of our innate shamanic abilities it was a cultural step to try to prevent the loss of 'knowledge' ... just as written traditions emerged much later for the same reason to codify what we knew in order to preserve.

Is that a Nagual Poncho he's wearing?

Mickey Dolenz has a unicorn horn in his hand!

Ah yes well that is equinoxial (or whatever the adjective is) ... a phase shift from winter to spring ...

As long as you don't leave me to cry for too long
