    Hello Ulli and the Village and its lovely denizens! Long time, no see. All's well that ends well, and I ended up back in the Village to pass along my glad tidings and well wishes. It's hot and humid here and the mosquitos are greedier than politicians. I'm listening to some live Miles Davis Allstars from '58 and '59 and Coltrane's playing tenor sax in the group. It's sounding nice with the thick sweatin' air and the thunderclaps of reverberating atmosphere droning in the distance. I've had my nose to the grindstone for the past few months, focusing on family and work and play. Araucaria, I think I left off last meaning to tell you that you were right about sometimes having to stick your neck out there regardless of how others might interpret and perceive. Life is out there to be manifested and you might as well go for it, whatever it may be.

    Where's that Ol' Purple Lama hanging around these days?
    Playdo!!!! Been thinking about you, and here you are!
    Amazing!

    My wonderfully playful pup Zen introduced me to Black Bear today, while hiking among the mountainside in Medicine Bow forest in Wyoming.

    At first, I thought he was chasing a squirrel or an elk, when Zen comes trotting back into sight, followed by a ground shaking pa-tump pa-tump pa-tump pa-tump, and the bear, like a glorious gelatinous mass of fur, thuds out from behind the treeline.

    So I'm standing about 20 yards away, Zen between me and the bear. So I start squeaking his spiky orange ball that I carry, and this majestic, timid creature ambles on back into the trees.

    Just now we have 8% of the total population of Iceland (28,000/320,000) here cheering on their soccer team at the Euros. They have already qualified for the last 16 and today take on the mighty(?) England with more than an outside chance of winning. Just days after Brexit, they seem to have got the timing right for an upset. We shall see.

    Things are grinding a bit on the forum, right now, so I thought I'd check, and sure enough, the moon is square. 90degree angle.


    makes me think of that whole 'cut off the foreskin of the male child on the 7th day after birth', thing of the Judaic astrology. On the 7th day after birth and the moon, emotions, is at a 90 degree angle to the child's birth moon position. Cutting the end off the most sensitive nerve cluster of the human body of the male, the deepest part of the body's reason for existing, reproduction.....doing this on the 7th day creates a deep emotional twist and severe damage to the permanent wiring of the developing mind, in a place so deep the grown person will never find it.

    A male can't reach themselves emotionally if this is followed through to perfection, as it was in the past.

    Makes for excellent low emotion fundamentally disconnected low empathy soldiers who cannot connect to themselves on the deepest level. Broken and brainwashed in a way that is never recognized and never seen.

    It completely miswires the brain of a newborn. Which was the entire point. Standard circumcision is little better. Just more industrialized.

    Those Abrahamic religions are killers, and they've got to go. Little blood and division psycho factories.

    It's like Cutting the top off of a seedling on the 7th day. I wonder how many IQ and EQ (emotional intelligence) points it costs the child that is to be the man?

    But only parts of him will ever be the man... the most important parts will remain the torn child, re-enforced every day, worse than constant nicotine or heroin in the act of mis-wiring of an addict, as the end of the penis is constantly rubbing (and it was never designed to do so) and this zaps the brain. All the way from birth until their dying day. The wound that cannot heal.

    What price, controlled and directed insanity?

    See it for what it is.

    Yes, the moon squaring itself, seven days after birth, definitely makes for a moment of emotional coldness, with or without circumcision.

    And then, seven YEARS after birth, Saturn squares itself, and this brings suffering without human intervention.
    Saturn does its thing, like its time to drop the baby teeth and to form new ones.
    Or at the next square completion, at around age 14, at the opposition point to itself, kicks in with puberty hormones.
    All this causes guaranteed suffering. No need to pile more on, especially not on the vulnerable.

    I suppose these ancient rituals were to reflect the suffering points of natural cycles.

    Doing this to kids, or grown women, is cruel, and unnecessary. Life itself is cruel enough. No need to inflict pain on others.
    Voluntary suffering, a term coined by Gurdjieff, is a different matter. Keyword being voluntary.

    Not masochism, either, as that is just an automatic search for externally inflicted patterns, caused in childhood.
    Circumcision could easily be the cause of sado-masochistic psychopathy.
    These old practises need to go, as you say.

    The reason it's not getting fixed.... is that it's too close to many of the people involved. Ie, 20-50% of the male readers.

    How does one confront the fact that, in essence, critical parts of one's brain have been cut out, insanity inserted in it's stead, and that one may also have consequently done the same to their own children?

    How does a person deal with that? Or a mother deal with having done so to their sons?

    I'm reminded now how I was pressurized at the West London Hospital 37 years ago to have my son circumsized, less than 24 hours after giving birth.
    I had to insist that I did not agree with the practise.
    It was a hard-sell method, and usually that gets my spidey senses to ring the alarm.

    I have a strong Mars-Mercury conjunction in Aquarius, which gives me a resistant personality.
    Buttt- on the other hand, I also have a Neptune-sun square, which can make me gullible, when people use soft-sell methods.
    (Just sharing as there are more and more people asking for astrology info. )

    One more comment...re insanity. I have met quite a few men who were pretty insane despite the fact that they were never circumsized.
    How did I find out? Hmm...
    In one case- my first husband. Pisces, planets in the 12 th house...all contributors although not in all cases.
    Later, during religious discussions, in Baha'i groups, where religious laws and their need for reform were being discussed.

    The real cause of insanity is a general confusion about where thoughts originate. Telepathy is a fact, and many times people's thoughts are really not their own, especially if they have never efforted at creating an identity, or personal opinion.
    I'm all for doing this, how to really try and figure out what is best for oneself and for humanity as a whole.

    Laws are needed, but only if they get regular re-evalution, and dumped as soon as they have become obsolete.
    That alone would then do away with a huge percentage of all traditions.

    Baby dies after being circumsized.

    One of the comments, and brilliant:

    " Since an infant is incapable of religious beliefs, imposing an irreversible body alteration on him violates the freedom to choose his own religion as an adult. It differs from religious education, which can be changed. My body belongs to me!"

    (probably our third go around on this conversation, IIRC)

    I'm taking the strong stance, with zero wiggle room, for one reason.

    If you stand in front of a crowd, at a podium, and wryly say, "10% of you are really smart" (which is not true, but closer to the truth), over 75% of the people there will infer that you are speaking about them.

    To allow for some wiggle room, is to give 100% of the people who desire to sneak through it, the opportunity to do so. Ie, not one single circumcision would be prevented. 100% would slip though the hole of the minor probability.

    The damage is hidden. People learn how to limp along, like they always do. It happens in youth, for the most part. Early youth. They learn how to cover it up in the normal process of growing up.

    More and more I am beginning to see the need for tweaking our pre-birth memories, just to get the bigger picture of the eternal merry-go-round, and the need to get off.

    Even though there are no guarantees that those memories are our own, but at least looking back at history,
    personal as well as collective, can trigger a decent desire for a better world.
    A better me and a better them.

    To illustrate the alternative:

    The name I chose for my son implicated religion - not the case, just in reverence to a famous designer we both knew.
    Since my son's birth I was pestered to have the circumcision, and refused.
    Sadly, the choice of a name, in reverence, was a nightmare for my son.
    Even after the birth of his own son, the penis-snippers were on their case, even when the wee chap was very premature.
    A very unnecessary loathsome practice, and a signitary device of tribalism.

    I was invited to Vancouver to witness my sister's daughter's christening. I did not know there was an ulterior motive. Turns out, they wanted to reverse my decision not to christen my daughter and intended to go behind my back and get the holy water dunked on my daughter's head at the same time as my sister's kid. So there I sit watching the christening when my mother comes for my child - just to give my wife a momentary break she claims. She takes her around back of the alter out of view where they dress my three month old in a frilly little church outfit, ready for baptism. But I was on to them and thwarted their efforts. Turns out they convinced my wife that not getting baptised would curse my child later in life, so she was in on the scam. I was livid. But I got my way, my daughter is safe and unmarked by the blemish of a small god. And she is the model of an advanced human - she had me as her teacher after all.

    I was invited to Vancouver to witness my sister's daughter's christening. I did not know there was an ulterior motive. Turns out, they wanted to reverse my decision not to christen my daughter and intended to go behind my back and get the holy water dunked on my daughter's head at the same time as my sister's kid. So there I sit watching the christening when my mother comes for my child - just to give my wife a momentary break she claims. She takes her around back of the alter out of view where they dress my three month old in a frilly little church outfit, ready for baptism. But I was on to them and thwarted their efforts. Turns out they convinced my wife that not getting baptised would curse my child later in life, so she was in on the scam. I was livid. But I got my way, my daughter is safe and unmarked by the blemish of a small god. And she is the model of an advanced human - she had me as her teacher after all.
    Yes, those satanists are very crafty, and they know how to use the gullible old tradition-steeped matriarchs.

    Whereas in religious texts the practise of baptism was performed on adults, never babies, as an indication that they had changed their views, and thrown out their older traditional beliefs in favor of the new teachings.

    The water was always symbolic for knowledge...as in the water urn poured by the Aquarius symbol of the water bearer.
    No such rituals are necessary now, where one can just change one's social media status by writing one's viewpoint down and pressing a send button.
