Supernatural is the term used for phenomenon that science cannot explain. Science doesn’t claim that supernatural stuff doesn’t exist; just, they cannot provide a scientific explanation for it. In Nature,, All is natural. I look at all of Nature with fascination, curiosity, and awe. Sublime Nature, Divine Nature, Multi dimensional Nature, all the way down to Human Nature. It has been said, by Leonardo da Vinci and many others, that one cannot study Nature enough. A couple of quotesI’s like to share: Nature never breaks it’s own laws. Nature is full of infinite causes that haver never occurred in experience. The second quote impresses on me. How Supernatural can Supernatural get???!!! Always Natural. Always Nature. Nature Being Nature. Ah, the inconceivable nature of Nature.

Descended of a Mythical race. His Real Life exceeded Myth or merely Legend. On Battlefields where everything (including Life) could be lost on any given day, to not only survive, and to taste victory and all that goes with that, over a quarter century, often by having to place himself at the most heated or dire moment of battle, at the front, being the tip of the Spear,,, actually a Sword with Noble Phantasm Merged Powers, that each and every time, winning the day….and not only That Sword along with other Excalibur class weapons / beware of English Kings whose language is Danish War Axe , and with that and those, his Coeur de Lion, All of that and those, a Heart of a Mythical Majestic Lion,,,,…More than a Lion,,, AND UNDOUBTEDLY the HIGHEST LEVEL of FIGHTING SPIRIT Yes, the Skilz, experiences, the Highest Ronin characteristics without being Ronin, which is curiously remarkable along several levels,,,,,, This Type of individual,, strikes Fear & Awe, commands Respect from the oppositions top Elite Forces, and draws stray Warriors of High Fighting Spirits, masters of moments of chaos and uncertainty, even a most ronin Ronin wouldn’t resist joining forces with this Type of individual. “ Like Dogs of War They Snarled, willing to fight to the Death. Our troops were terrified of them, dumbfounded by their steadfastness.” To quote Saladin’s top scribe Ibn Shabbad, Saladin himself, Legendary, Highly Regarded. However, lacking the Mythical pedigree,,,,more of an astute skilled politician, imo even if one of the better ones,,,, so as a battle tested warrior of mythic level, Richard Coeur de Lion, commands attention. and don’t you question why he is so fashionable Right Now?

The supernatural world is the real world, No?

Dealing in slavery, really, where does that take the dealers ? Speaking for myself, that path leads to no where I want to journey into. There is a Light somewhere, turning from Light leads to more Darkness.

How does one save money? me thinks, by not spending it. there are always exceptions; purchasing things you need while they are “on sale” is one method. bartering, another. an exception is; if you’re not spending any money due to the reality of not having any, doesn’t actually save any, perhaps, and of course there is always another exception. Illusion also plays its part. there is the illusion of saving money. not to mention the illusion of money, itself. saving money, hmmm may be or may not be prudent or productive or profitable. me thinks it is always personal. each individual finds their path along the many pathways of money. It’s an adventure. my take on it for some time now, is less is more. to clarify; me not saying saving less is more, rather, less is more when it comes to money. I reckon this seems a paradox to many. the Richness gained from solving this paradox is like receiving a crown of great treasure. Priceless

I don’t think pretending “to be” whatever is in harmony with Dao. Do you feel harmony is humanly unattainable? Thanks for the question; and my “perfectly aligned” is confusing, or at least probably could’ve been worded differently. It wasn’t supposed to come across like planets lining up; even if that is also Dao. (the date stamp of my post 8/14/22 is interesting bc 8/15 was a notable day personally.) I think what I was trying to say is I look at it like be carefree & natural. Authentic, true to yourself and to your nature. Don’t try forcing things/ try harmony.

Thank you @Nungali for sharing Sonny & Jay. Good concepts used in that community imo. I am going to continue with knives and return of this gent. “Return of weapons, tactics, of earlier times.” Indeed, to primitive cave man style. My thought; trench knife vs tomahawk ? a couple of generations later, (although, shovels, pick ax, hammer, etc used in WW1) http://militaryanalysis.blogspot.com/2015/08/war-tomahawk.html Sometimes, less tech works best. Bowie knives would’ve worked just fine in this scenario as well.

So, thread began with Lynn Thompson, a weapons manufacturer, owning the company Cold Steel. Another Thompson, John T. Championed the Tommy gun aka Chicago typewriter. With the idea it could sweep up trenches during WW1, that war ended before production. The first war the Thompson sub machine gun performed in, the first such to be called a sub machine gun, was the 1921 Blair Mountain War in West Virginia; used by West Virginia state police against striking coal miners. Later the US army rode in on train and massacred the coal miners as they slept in their tents, but I digress. 175 million Thomason’s were manufactured by 1945. Before use by allied forces, these sub machine guns proved their worth used by street gangsters, lawmen, Chinese war lords, etc Even Tommy Shelby used one against a small gypsy camp for placing a curse on his family. One of my favorite characters from Peaky Blinders is Winston Churchill https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/winston-churchill-with-tommy-gun.html Moving along with the thread,,, another American from those 20th century war times; Tony Biddle trained US Marines in hand to hand combat, authored the 1937 book Do or Die. https://www.amazon.com/Do-Die-Supplementary-Manual-Individual/dp/1626541612 related video

They look like a force to be reckoned with; I reckon not to be messed with. I recently learned that cats meow only when speaking with humans. 90% of the time my two speak cat with me. It’s only when I don’t get it when they resort to meowing at me.

I think I see it a little differently; what you describe I refer to as will.

true, my reference was in a philosophical context. But I do see your point.

How can anyone not like “Hallelujah Anyway” ? and May as well be (act) Brave even if ya ain’t. No one can tell the difference. Hallelujah Anyway !! Anne Lamott sounds like a redneck to me

ah, I see you’re dreamer too, kinda like ChiDragon. ya’ll have nice dreams, I must say. and it’s really been three full years rather than two. Of course, giving in to fatalism isn’t appealing,,, but maybe listen to the stoics. in the weeeeee hours this morning; my thoughts were on all that’s good in the world, and some amazing folks I’m lucky to know, Dao Bums, common bums of a kinder persuasion, along with the occasional glimpse of a Daoist fairy, Xian visitations, benevolent (heroic) shapeshifters, and the two gray tabby kittens I call Scrapper & Bandit…. and maybe may be we do have a fighting chance to get through the year. probably be an interesting one fr

Totally plausible. man, you are a dreamer ! hey, it’s a fabulous marvelous dream. keep close to Dao, my friend
