Looks like the craziness of this full moon in Capricorn has...

UPDATED VERSION

Hot I can take. It's the humidity that's oppressive. I'm cranky and impatient and judgy. Toss in the Capricorn full moon that's 180 degrees (opposition) from this Cancer sun chick...it's makes for a testy combination.

So many posts [I've] written and deleted before they make it onto to the forum. Accept for one on another thread.

Actually that translation by Google is totally wrong, and the oppsosite of the real meaning of the phrase.
Interesting how many other sites have then also got it wrong; obviously because they only checked the Google reference.

"No me" translates as "Do NOT".
Or perhaps I should have just said. Please don't mess with me...

[ulli]

Just one more add, PurpleLama and Target are regular contributors here, and in the context of the tragedy that has happened recently, their posts make sense. At least that's my impression, knowing them both.
PL may have had legitimate reason to delete what he first composed, remembering the context and situation at hand. Target's post then expressed sympathy with that sentiment.
It was not until that flippant reply from Rantaak who never drops by any more, and who seems to be oblivious to the history here that I lost it.
I apologize to anyone I may have hurt unjustly with my remark.

[ulli]

Ok, further clarification. Moderator help assured me that Rantaak's original post was not written with any desire to disrupt. He wrote a post, and for whatever reason then decided to change his mind about posting it, but could not delete the message completely.
So, no harm, just a misunderstanding.
This is actually the kind of monkeywrench that the dark force often throws into the works, to create further confusion and stir the ***t.
There are only two ways to combat this...to either forget about it in an instant and move on, with a loving and forgiving attitude, or to analyze every detail and be as specific as possible, so that the truth can emerge.
As this is my thread, and many guests visit it at any given time, I chose the second option, as I felt it best to clarify everything for these readers.

Lol. We muddle along...

My life motto! I have begun to temper it with Hagakure... it's an excellent way to work on that inner landscape and re-order/shape your perspective.


I'm sure there's nothing out there that will happen that we cannot adapt to and I'm convinced that humanity always improves in the face of a challenge.

some are harder than others.

I did post something and thought better of it, not for any ill intent, so you surmise correctly my friend.

The sentiment that target agreed with, I think, was simply thinking better of speaking on the forum in general, sometimes. Lord knows I've not been so active this last few years as I was the first few, but it's more for real life engagements requiring more attention than ever, not for any lack of caring for the friends we've all made hearabouts.

What I said and thence removed, I will perhaps repeat some time later, when the timing itself is more appropriate.

And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew

Oh come on mate....its not easy as Im sure you know.

I am trying but to what end? There is no thing which I can perceive as being of worth here so I am finding it difficult.

Should I use another for personal gain, in any regard?
Well I do not wish to. I have time....yes.......but then that only creates in me a feeling of guilt!

I comprehend many of your postulations and yes at this time I do drink.
You actually amaze me with how much you actually can feel.
But give me a break....I woke with a word I had never known (at this point), so yes I had a lookie!!!

You want it to change.......give me a reason?

feel ya by the way....lol

It's just that Superman knocking back the triple of JW Red, while seated at the bar, made me think of that song.

It appears it is a double, but he goes for more than a few.

pdf - Hagakure: Book of the Samarai & Kindle edition for 99 cents & Hagakure quotes

Amazon summary:

Living and dying with bravery and honor is at the heart of Hagakure, a series of texts written by an eighteenth-century samurai, Yamamoto Tsunetomo. It is a window into the samurai mind, illuminating the concept of bushido (the Way of the Warrior), which dictated how samurai were expected to behave, conduct themselves, live, and die. While Hagakure was for many years a secret text known only to the warrior vassals of the Nabeshima clan to which the author belonged, it later came to be recognized as a classic exposition of samurai thought.

The original Hagakure consists of over 1,300 short texts that Tsunetomo dictated to a younger samurai over a seven-year period. William Scott Wilson has selected and translated here three hundred of the most representative of those texts to create an accessible distillation of this guide for samurai. No other translator has so thoroughly and eruditely rendered this text into English.

its funny, but you'll know you have it down when you say

"this doesn't freak me out, I'm already dead".

its a temporal philosophy; so far ahead of its time it's mind boggling to me. You view your life (or specifically, the present) from your death bed, and with that in mind you re-evaluate the situation at hand.. that kind of context out of time is very very grounding.

Neutral observation vs. cold neutral. Timely reminder for myself and one of the reasons why I’m still here. Intellectual understanding is different from daily life application.

Its just been one of those days. I had to give my beastly self a timeout.

Thanks for the Hagakure PDF.

Yes, muddle along. I know I do. I am still muddling around in the dark in Plato's cave trying to find my way out. Sometimes I find a nice quiet spot in the dark and just sit with eyes open and breathe.

And regarding Superman, I have to wonder what effect booze would have on him. If he became inebriated then that would be like a diminutive kryptonite. If it had no effect on him, and, driven to drink, it might anger him.

Paul Levy illuminates the hidden source of the soul-devastating Pump & Dump economy.

Very interesting ... thank-you.

This is providing me with a perspective on economic matters than I would not have noticed on my own.

[PurpleLama]

Windigo (wetiko) is a shaman or medicine man who becomes a beast, crossing that psychic line and becoming a bestial wild man. Levy makes good points as for the shadow and such, but I believe his attribution to the windego is as erroneous as all the attributions to archons. This isn't to say that the phenomena don't exist, by any means, but a windego is a physical being which can be killed, and with the destruction of the true native culture in North America it is likely extinct. It is a mistake to conflate the human sorcerer with the subtle forces he may bargain with for power. Of course, my knowledge of native American folklore is far from complete, and it may be I who am having the misunderstanding. Aside from that possibility, it is important to continually observe the importance of self observation in regards to the thoughts that flow through our heads, not to own them but to be as aware as possible as they are the fliers, for good and ill, that will embed themselves as we own/agree with them, or reject them outright as the insanity they represent in our psychic environment.

I do wonder, could not a thought of the mind virus not be seen as the virus, itself?

Would one of it's primary modes of operation not consist in the corruption of the very things that could be most helpful it the exposure and removal of the virus, itself?

Posted by Borden
Except, as I've said here before, we didn't come on holiday by mistake.

Talk and humurous conversation are not necessarily lesser things. It all depends on their flavour and their motivation. In fact, having seen the illusory nature, it only becomes more clear that the deep stillness is the ultimate expression of the mind-virus. The universe isn't still, it's a dance. We are not here ... to disappear.

Posted by anotherbob
Exactly what the virus would have you believe, since what it fears most is a lack of distraction. It's like a thief suddenly having a spotlight focused directly at them on a pitch black stage.

and still we search for reasoning with the same mind that steals!

Logic....well I am not a binary code.

Input and output.

The thing which makes me aware is emotions, especially empathy.

To look at the current state of humans is to look at technology, which is logical.

Input thus output.

Well I am not that.......I am emotional, I always was.

To look at the best in art of any kind created by humans....then you see emotional content.......the man/woman puts the essence of themselves, at that point, into the creation.

If emotions are being harvested by beings outside of this human capacity to illuminate and this is called 'loosh' or any other name, well I no longer care as I consider it another diversion.

When I was a child I expressed my singular nature via emotions not logic, this expression we call living in the 'now'.
To now try and exist inhibiting that emotional connection to all else so as to limit a so called 'harvest' seems debilitating to me.

If we look at the world as it stands we can see that there is a want for less personal interaction of emotive thought rather than a need for more.
The idea that fear is the driving force may still be of value as fear is a proactive and so positive interaction, whereas empathy is a non invasive connection which could then be considered negative, as it will not 'force' a result?
As far as I have knowledge....energy runs from the negative to the positive.......therefore the parasites require logic to exist rather than emotions?
And again we can see this lack of beneficial emotions currently being forced upon this world.

We are force fed lies on many levels....but as a child I was content in my emotions.......it was only with the introduction of logic that I fell?
As you know there are 2 types of emotion, one being of other and one being of self.
Again when I was young, before conditioning, my emotions were of other.
Self needs are logical, other needs are solely emotional?

Its just a thought process but it is 'here and now'....well at least for me!

I would like to see a more compassionate world, especially in the domain of computer repairs.
Especially after being told that all data can be retrieved and then later being told by the same guy that my data is irretrievable, all with a straight faced expression. No sign of remorse. When he had also just told me that my external back-up hard drive was broken as well.
