I have decided to pitch a cyber tent here at TOT to post thoughts and opinions. I'll call it Rhosgobel.:shocked:

I do my best to not disrupt threads and their flow.:cool:
This thread will allow me to stop biting my tongue.:p

At some point a discussion of the loosh ecosystem will ensue. At least a post about it will.:nails:

For now it is for me to decide what starts this conversation. Even if it is with myself.:tiphat:

I have misspelled Rhosgobel. :fpalm: How does one edit thread titles? Call a mod? :confused:

Most might have seen these paintings at PA. However, I cannot comment on them there so I bring it here, FWIW.

The paintings do seem to articulate some deeper qualities of these people, or at least subtle ones.

I see some serious 'lizard' energy coming off this painting.

James Vincent Forrestal (February 15, 1892 – May 22, 1949) was the last Cabinet-level United States Secretary of the Navy and the first United States Secretary of Defense.

Forrestal was a supporter of naval battle groups centered on aircraft carriers. In 1954, the world's first supercarrier was named USS Forrestal in his honor, as is the headquarters of the United States Department of Energy. He is also the namesake of the Forrestal Lecture Series at the United States Naval Academy, which brings prominent military and civilian leaders to speak to the Brigade of Midshipmen, and of the James Forrestal Campus of Princeton University in Plainsboro Township, New Jersey.

For a painting that is little more than a sketch it is very powerful (as often that style can be with the right subject) he certainly has a Godless air about him, that mouth !

what if the painter capured him laughing. would there still be a small lizard like mouth?

As art is inherently the impression of the artist does this say something about the artist or about the subject.

I see it more in the way the artist evoked skull ridges that run from the outer part of his eyebrow up towards his hairline. Other subtle things but, that caught my eye.

A good portrait painter would try to capture the essence of the subject. And usually, since the portrait is commissioned, the subject can ask for changes.

I have a friend who does portraits. She's also a courtroom artist (her bread and butter). Often judges and lawyers will ask her to make them look better or more handsome!

It's about us but, it can also be both artist and subject. Then there is none of the above.

In this instance the artist is playing a central part by choice of subjects, theme and method.

I am very comfortable stating my perception. If you wish to categorize it as a judgment then so be it. You would also be assuming you know my stance on "lizards". I can assure you that you do not. I have not stated it.

Sharing my perception is sharing my reality. A big part of a functioning community. It is also a friendly thing to do.

Then the artist, subject and us make three (trinity) and I'm guessing when you say it's about us do you mean as "Observer" and (maybe) the (type of) energy that is created by that observation, depending on whether we see the picture as positive or negative. Or maybe I'm heading off into the rough here (wouldn't be the first time . . . :))

I clicked on the link in Modwiz's post and saw the rest of Doug Auld's work and then read all the comments on Project Avalon where there is a complete thread about him. Doug himself is very humble about what the members there have said. What struck me immediately was that it brought everyone there together, united in a positive way, unlike other threads where opinions are at odds with each other.

But back to the reptilian quality of the painting. None of his portraits were flattering to the subjects yet all were immensely powerful and moving with the same compelling quality as Forrestal. Perhaps all whistleblowers by their nature are in touch with their reptilian side . . . . ? Is it possible to make friends/come to terms with our reptilian natures I wonder and, if so, transfer that knowledge to taming Them. (Could end up biting you in the arse . . . :)

Good point, Calabash. If we believe it's possible, then it's possible. . . and let's face it, we're already getting bit in the arse! So why not try something different. It's been said we're all hybrids, so I'm assuming there are many of us that have reptilian in us. . .Scientests are always referring to our reptilian brain.

About the triune structure if our brains, some info that may serve discussion at some point :

The reptilian brain, the oldest of the three, controls the body's vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, body temperature and balance. Our reptilian brain includes the main structures found in a reptile's brain: the brainstem and the cerebellum. The reptilian brain is reliable but tends to be somewhat rigid and compulsive

The limbic brain emerged in the first mammals. It can record memories of behaviours that produced agreeable and disagreeable experiences, so it is responsible for what are called emotions in human beings. The main structures of the limbic brain are the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the hypothalamus. The limbic brain is the seat of the value judgments that we make, often unconsciously, that exert such a strong influence on our behaviour.

The neocortex first assumed importance in primates and culminated in the human brain with its two large cerebral hemispheres that play such a dominant role. These hemispheres have been responsible for the development of human language, abstract thought, imagination, and consciousness. The neocortex is flexible and has almost infinite learning abilities. The neocortex is also what has enabled human cultures to develop.

Let's go for it!

The reptilian brain is the basic brain and capable of full body functions, including balance. It is the brain all other parts are added to. The reptoid brain is much like a Unix or similar operating system, simple and straightforward. Very efficient. A modern human brain is more like a Windows operating system, full of annoying alerts, questions and options. Very inefficient on the default settings. Tweaking, inner work, is crucially necessary to make the operating system perform in accordance with our direction. The limbic system is a real challenge unless absolute mindfulness becomes part of how we operate. Then the machinations of the limbic system become revealed and under considerable more control.

Understanding, even sitting in that state of mind is full of insights in regards to how reptoids see their world.

I want to open that discussion but, wish to proceed with caution.

I actually am happy with a very simple overview. I find bigger picture material represents the wholes better and my main gist is not at all about the brain but qualities of consciousness.

I agree mostly in not overcomplicating things. especially with an organ as complex as the brain.
That said however the Triune brain is a hypothesis that leaves many questions.
As I wrote before when introduces to mark passio's theories, even though the concept of the reptillian brain is apealing and seems to make sense in a quick overview it isn't conclusive. Well the initial conclusions made by Paul D. MacLean anyway.

Even though the book I referred to mentions the triune brain. It goes a bit deeper on how different parts of the brain work together. Which for me makes it valuable.
That said it is deffinetly not the say all and end all text on brains. In conversations where parts of the Human make up are being discussed i feel its important to agree on what it is that is talked about.

Like you said before I don't know your standpoints on the reptillians. And will not make assumtions about it. I do feel that calling out a reptillian aspect on a forum like this one gives rise to many many misconsetions and ill formed conclusions. However sensible those conclusions may be.

Like is the reptillian brain just a part that is found in reptillian animals we have on earth. Do they extend to the 4th ot 5th dimensional reptillian beings that are vieuwed as the greatest mennace we know etc etc.

I am uncertain as to what is being said in the first paragraph. I would like to understand.

As for your question. I have not taken any of this into consideration. This thread has no real focus, agenda or case to make. It is a place for me to ramble on, think out loud, share ideas and thoughts. I speak with no authority other than the authorship of my words. It is my hope that thoughtful and engaging conversation might ensue. It could be crickets too and then I would get the hint.

Your information is well received. I dropped the triune brain into thread for consideration if it might be helpful. I like it as a reasonable model for certain idea experiments. Without knowing the actual brain structure of the Reptoids the whole discussion is one of fantasy, of sorts. It also might contain food for thought in bridge of understanding.

Quite a bit of weight is on the shoulders of humanity from many sides. Inter-species communication and understanding would have ramifications beyond our planet. It would also leap-frog us over our current dysfunction with intra-species communication and understanding. However, I see the populations having made the intra-species connection with their leaders being the dysfunctional holdouts.

Populations are almost ready. We pride ourselves on our empathy and compassion. There is reason for it. There will be a quantum challenge for us to try and "get into the head" of these species. The whole purpose on getting into their heads would be to see with their eyes. That brings understanding.

I tell you. I believe the power to create cosmic ripples is ours.

Brevity will have me conclude here.

Thanks for your complete posts modwiz. From the selected parts it's clear that (individually) we're at odds with ourselves from the beginning, without taking into account outside stimulus/information. Although the neocortex is responsible for pulling the other two parts together through meditation/mindfulness, this in itself is an ongoing journey and I have to confess that I lack good meditation technique. Purists would probably say there are no shortcuts to mindfulness, but there are quicker routes (thorough drugs, but I'm not going there), or brain entrainment (binaural beats), which was developed by Robert Monroe who also coined the word "loosh".

The human brain is a wonderful instrument with seemingly endless capabilities. That part which observes, however, is also aware how difficult it is for the brain to analyse the truth of information without having the direct experience. Can meditation fill in that part?

Thanks for this Eelco. There is much to know about the human brain. I have recently learned, for instance, that both sides of the brain work together all the time - they just interpret information in a different manner - and the line that joins them running down the middle is there mainly to stop one side from interfering with the other. I guess that is why some people who have half their brains removed (severe cases of epilepsy) are shown to be able to function as well as people who have the two sides intact.

Thank you.
That first paragraph. Is that my post or from the article..?
The article's first paragraph is a reference to a hollywood movie scene. The movie is called Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

My first paragraph pertained a reference to my first encounter with the 3 part brain concept in the thread Roman started about Mark Passio.
Where I felt drawn to listen to Marks podcasts encountered his emphasis on the Triune Brain research and the conclusions he derrived from it. When doing my own research on the Triune Brain A study made by Paul D. MacLean I found the theory doesn't hold up to scientific scrutiny. meaning that asumptions were made that we now know to be false from brain research in animals and people.

My idea about it is that an oversimplified outlook on how people work and then projecting that to an organ like the brain can go wrong very quickly.
Especcially when it involves a referens to reptillians, which in my view on a forum like this sets a tone on how we should feel about that. Seeing that most here have some sort of aversion to so called Reptoids.

I think it would be a great win if we could actually emphatize with reptoids or intra-species contact, but as we can hardly emphatize with inter-species.
There's a long long way to go.

Does that make more sense?

What got me interested in the book was a podcast i listened to recently with the author where he explained that every self-inclined action or though we do/have triggers connections all over the brain which subside when we go on to thoughts and action that are not as self-aware.
He suggested that this was a sign that self/ego is a temporary mindstate that gets rebuild from moment to moment. And thus had a connection to the notion of no-self in buddhism.

Fascinating stuff.

And interesting personal (not scientific) experiment with the brain.

Whether right or left handed - try using the opposite hand to do things for a portion of the day - then see what (if any) changes occur, either mentally or physically.

Don't over think what you're doing while using the opposite hand.

I'm completely right handed, but found when I used my left hand to paint pictures (and didn't try to control my hand) I came up with some interesting paintings.

. . . . In fact, creating art can be seen as a selfish and/or manipulative act...

An interesting perspective. . . if I understand you correctly, then almost everything could be interpreted as a selfish act. . . meditation, exercise, reading

My perspective is anytime someone is bettering themselves, or exploring their inner world to understand themselves and their outer world - they are helping the whole. If this becomes excessive (moderation in all things) than I suppose I would consider it selfish, or if it interferes with the well-being of others - than definitely selfish. However, I don't personally see how trying to understand oneself and how one's brain works by painting some pictures is selfish.

I think I get this, particularly as it’s running parallel with my own thoughts. I recently asked a forum member why the reptilians or mantids did not tune up the dna of their own kind, instead of Neanderthal man, so that snakes and lizards and insects ruled the planet. Ignoring the David Icke lizard stuff for one moment, I’m thinking now that I got it arse about face and that maybe – with our brains being formed as they are - we are really meant/equipped to be able to communicate with everything on the planet, (like the recent video of the South African woman who tuned in to the panther). Obviously we have become more aligned with our reptilian side that wishes to dominate everything at the expense of other living things. Are we on schedule or behind schedule? Who knows. Maybe it’s true that we are all exactly where we’re meant to be.

Their interest in us would appear to be to get something they want from our DNA. Our DNA is the phenomenal world's part of our consciousness. It is our consciousness that is the part of this, IMO. The only way for them to really receive what they need from us is for us to awaken and be able to offer them the profound wisdom and compassion that is ours to offer. I see an awakened humanity as what is really the key to 'cleaning' this part of the universe up a bit.

Yes please.. more...
I am especially interested in what you would view an awakened humanity.
The process of awakening and what awakened really means is a topic I have been pondering for years.

One thing I am comming to realize is that it has nothing to do with the brain.
In the sense that even though the functions of the brain helps us loosely catagorize what we experience.
It does a bad job of discerning truth.(whatever that is)

The brain is highly opinionated and seems to fill in gaps in our experience with made up possibilities that are not what has actually happened, but with bits and pieces from earlier experiences so that it fools itself in seeing a complete picture.

I feel that is why meditation especially vipassana is so valuable to many to get to an interpretation of awakening/enlightenment.
As it systematically teaches you to just see what is real in the realms of sense impressions, and the interpretations your mind makes about them.

Yes, I see that if it could be made into a more equal relationship it would be beneficial for all, but awakening is not something that can be achieved by just desiring it unfortunately. In what way are they superior to us? They are hidden and they lack compassion seems to be the sum of it. Our wisdom and compassion is within our DNA but it does not seem to extend into their humanity. If our animals were having the same conversation about us, how would they get our attention?

Eelco's question about awakening and what it is (and the different ways of achieving it) is very relevant and I would like to learn more about this.

I see the brain as a receiving and processing center for consciousness, including the native 'body' intelligence which is separate from our higher intelligence. Unfortunately, the animal body is at the mercy of the brain's imaginations, which often bring it burdens unnecessary to health and survival. Its province.

We think of humans in contrast to the reptilian morphology. I would not be surprised if the proper framing isn't more like mammals in contrast to reptiles.

My phrase, "in contrast to" is a replacement for the unnecessary adversarial word versus, which is in the word adversary.

Language as free of duality as possible, as opposed to contrast, (this sentence not a good example but, 'as contrasted to contrast' was inelegant) will facilitate staying more in the mental body.

Imagination can bring burdens, but also can bring new and wonderful creations, can it not?

Maybe that brings us to which part of "us" we chose to focus on. The higher or lower. I have often thought that most of us (through encouragement of the ptb) have given our personal power over to the lower (ego) self - and rarely focus on the higher self.

Agreed. But I'm not sure it has to be slowly, but usually is because we often lack the single-mindedness of purpose to make it a faster process. IMO, we have become accustomed to allowing our brain, lead us, rather than the other way around. Rather like getting on a horse and letting the horse decide which way to go. I believe that's why the Buddha said something like the brain is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master. But in order to get it back into servant mode, we have to be vigilant of our thoughts- and stop them when they're taking us someplace that's not for our higher good.

What do we mean by "dominant?".

For example, every living organism that digests plant or animal food sources cannot survive without micro organisms which help to digests proteins and/or cellulose. Without it dinosaurs and mammals would not have been a reality based on their genetic physiological design. (This is just an example, if bacterias did not exist then the genetic design would never have been designed for it of course!)

If it is a question of numbers, then surely again for example, the micro biological universe is infinitely larger, therefore the dominant force?

So, in conclusion, if such a race like reptoids exist (and I know they do), then to stake claim to any planet or thing is enough to understand their mindset, a mindset which has caused all wars and suffering on this small blue jewel.

Also how many dimensions, and time lines do they claim is theirs too?

My 'for instance' about a reptoid claim to the planet was an attempt to imagine looking through reptoid eyes, with reptoid perception and culture. Also for us to look at things from stance where good and bad are not quite as obvious and clean cut as we might think they are.

How we feel about things is closer to the fact than how we think about things.

I like this thread. Haven't had a chance to read all of it. Since it started with James Forrestal and had information from someone who knew him, I'm adding some background. He was dedicated, and had his lunch delivered to his office. It is believed his food was tainted with drugs. Perhaps LSD or some other psychotropic crap unknown at the time to create illusion of mental breakdown. He wanted transparency. The first UFO crash was in the 30's; Missouri. The Atomic Energy Commission, Navy and a big corporation called in to sweep it up. I think it was Bechtel Corp.?? This was a drop in the bucket in comparison to the other things he thought the American people should know.

Harry the Haberdasher Truman was the tool that put in place all the alphabet **** in the sewer that's in our face today. General Patton was another one offed after sending the Haberdasher a partial file that would convict another high ranking officer of treason who later became President. General Patton had an appointment with the Haberdasher bringing the balance of the file with him flying from Germany.

Wall Street Lessons: Dillon Read’s James Forrestal

James Forrestal, President of Dillon Read & Secretary of Navy and Secretary of War (Photo courtesy Wikipedia)
James Forrestal’s oil portrait always hung prominently in one of the private Dillon Read dining rooms for the eleven years that I worked at the firm. Forrestal, a highly regarded Dillon partner and President of the firm, had gone to Washington, D.C. in 1940 to lead the Navy during WWII and then played a critical role in creating the National Security Act of 1947. He then became Secretary of War (later termed Secretary of Defense) in September 1947 and served until March 28, 1949. Given the central banking-warfare investment model that rules our planet, it was appropriate that Dillon partners at various times lead both the Treasury Department and the Defense Department.

Shortly after resigning from government, Forrestal died falling out of a window of the Bethesda Naval Hospital outside of Washington, D.C. on May 22, 1949. There is some controversy around the official explanation of his death — ruled a suicide. Some insist he had a nervous breakdown. Some say that he was opposed to the creation of the state of Israel. Others say that he argued for transparency and accountability in government, and against the provisions instituted at this time to create a secret “black budget.”[32] He lost and was pretty upset about it — and the loss was a violent one. Since the professional killers who operate inside the Washington beltway have numerous techniques to get perfectly sane people to kill themselves, I am not sure it makes a big difference.

Approximately a month later, the CIA Act of 1949 was passed. The Act created the CIA and endowed it with the statutory authority that became one of the chief components of financing the “black” budget — the power to claw monies from other agencies for the benefit of secretly funding the intelligence communities and their corporate contractors. This was to turn out to be a devastating development for the forces of transparency, without which there can be no rule of law, free markets or democracy.

I studied Forrestal’s oil painting with his solemn stare during many a private lunch — each time reminded that government service was an important duty and honor in the Dillon tradition but it was a dangerous business. Congressional Committees had roughed up Clarence Dillon. Forrestal had died. Douglas Dillon was Secretary of the Treasury when Kennedy was assassinated.

Because I wanted to understand how the world really worked, I listened carefully. Over years of private lunches and dinners and conversations I watched and listened to hundreds of lessons on how to be careful — the tricks of predator evasion in Wall Street and Washington. In the midst of many knowledgeable teachers, Forrestal’s leadership was a guiding light that was to serve me well in the years ahead.
Wall Street Lessons: The Power of the People

Another thing I learned on Wall Street is the extent to which those who appear to have little material power can have significant power when they organize to do so. My rise to partnership at Dillon Read was fueled by a steady stream of intelligence from loyal secretaries, print shop personnel, drivers and staff whose generosity, street smarts and hard work was a constant reminder that the rise to Wall Street’s board rooms was not necessarily based on performance as opposed to privilege. One of the greatest challenges as an associate at Dillon Read was knowing where to invest our time when multiple partners were pressing us to give priorities to their projects. Hence, a heads up from someone’s secretary that they were trashing me in the year-end reviews was insider intelligence worth its weight in gold. Giving first priority to those who supported us in year-end reviews and compensation could be the difference between failure and success.

Right after I became a partner, I got a call from a personnel department director who was looking for a new secretary for me. The person who called said they were interviewing someone who has been with a Canadian Broadcasting office in New York for seventeen years. This was her first interview since they shut the office down. She was absolutely excellent and if we wanted to recruit her we needed to make her an offer right away. The personnel director said, “The only problem is that she is Jamaican (of African descent), but she is very light skinned.” I was stunned and said something to the effect of “Who cares?” The personnel person said, “If I sent a black person to be interviewed with most of the partners in this firm, I would be fired.” And so I hired Pat Phillips to work for me and was the beneficiary of her extraordinarily overqualified talent until her death twelve years later, by which time she was a Hamilton shareholder and Secretary of our board.

Many years later, after I had started my own investment bank in Washington, D.C., I got a call from a driver at one of the car services that we used to use when I was at Dillon. He said, “Are you doing a deal with Ken Schmidt?” I explained that, yes, I had proposed working together on a fairly large complex transaction. It would take a lot of work but if successful would be great business for both firms. The driver said, “He was in the car last night. He was bragging about how he was going to screw you. Here is what he is going to do.” This was the same Ken Schmidt who had confessed the Dillon partners conversations with my ex-husband. Ken was still blubbering indiscreetly about his bad deeds. And so the driver saved me from my mistake of attempting to partner with my old firm.

This is a good time to broaden my 'lizard' attribution to Forrestal.

We see a warrior dedicated to his assignment. Military 'energy' has a deep resonance with Reptoid energy. This is my perception.

Unwavering diligence to an assignment is (a huge ?)part of reptiod nobility. Nobility meaning noble-ness.
:Knight:

Regarding our military: Not questioning orders and following them with integrity is hive-like behavior. Lay over this, a 'method' of response for when command continuity is compromised and 'individual decisions are needed, and you get a further morphing into a quasi-hive mentality. A mentality that the reptoid races have been said to operate within.

All of the above is just my view. I share it for your perusal. I cannot vouch that agreeing with it will not lead one to useless affiliation with the ramblings of someone at a keyboard on a forum.:ok:

There is an old fallen down house, on the back of the property, the heart pine beams and blocks of the foundation are intact. Some other material might be usable, as well, but just that much would be a huge start. Maybe we could bring in Dan the eagle man and perhaps playdo, who also is quite the builder himself.

It represents, or more correctly its 'medicine' is, leadership.

Medicine is the counsel and animals have for us by the knowledge of their ways. Their special abilities and strengths are the medicine they offer. As well as some things to avoid.

I was once shown cards in a dream vision, they were life size and portrayed maybe Mayans or something similar and they were passing before me from the right to left.

Ah, the deep wisdom is the meal, whilst the sometimes caustic wit is but the spice, the experience of consuming the wise wizard's thought would be without substance on the one hand, and lacking its particular flavor on the other.


I suppose mod knows I have wide experience with the medicine/totem cards. My own totem was made in 2001, and the deck that was used was handed to me a few years later. In 2009 I gifted my closest friend, who later became my wife, with her own deck, so now there are two decks and books in the house.

My own totem was eventually lost, and the spirit guides, the Left and Right, are the only ones retained in my memory, respectively these are Panther/Unknown and Alligator/Integration. The night my totem was done, I had one of those peak experiences, I was riding in the car with my friend "John the Baptist", and we were having a serious discussion about conspiracies, etc. At a particular point in the ride, I realize the sounds of my friend's voice and that of the car on the road had muted and disappeared, to be replaced with a low, humming vibration, much lower that the vibration of the vehicle. A moment later my sense of vision blacked out totally, leaving me in darkness that was total, with only the humming to be perceived. After what seemed like a long while, I began to see a vague outline of a darker black within the black, and as the recognition of Puma reached my consciousness, the great cat's eyes opened, shining green and gold, and this propelled me abruptly back into the car. It took a few moments to get fully back to my senses, and once I did, all I could do was laugh and giggle. I will never forget "John" saying, OK, You can laugh if you will.... and I had to get a hold of myself, to say no, no, I am not laughing at you, and to proceed to relay the experience, to which he replied, we should do your totem when we get back. And sure enough, the last card drawn, the guardian on the left, was Panther.

My wife, when her totem was done many years later, drew Raven/Magic and Alligator as well. As Panther carries the energy of Mystery or the Unknown, it has been seen than nothing could have been more appropriate, as interfacing with Mystery has been a central theme in the intervening years. It takes a lot of gumption to follow that one, one learns not to hold on to self, otherwise no progress is made.

Years later, 06 I think, was my first encounter with the Ra Material, and I will never forget the one phrase that tickles me to this day, Ra saying All we know, and all we are, begins and ends in Mystery.

Caleb, I would suggest meditating on the dream, to remember as much detail as possible, and to draw them as best as you are able. My interpretation is that these would be a series of archtypal representations particular to you, but should you fully recall, record and interpret them, the lessons you may learn may provide you with a valuable tool for in turn teaching others. The cards might not exist in this reality, until you yourself create them. Such things brought back from the other side are the rarest of gifts.

I had that deck years ago but didn't keep or work with it (story of my life).

A "shaman type friend" suggested Ted Andrews as a good source for that type of information.

I got a couple of books and his card set.


Don't see "mountain lion" but he has a reference to "cougar".

Are we ignoring opportunities that present themselves rather than jumping upon them? Are we being too impatient in seeking what we wish? Are we dissatisfied with our progress? Are we being too forceful in our pursuits? Are we letting others take charge? Have we forgotten the importance of self-motivation and initiative?

In a very useful way, souls can be seen as cloud computers of sorts. Souls emanate 'soul families' of which we individual belong to one. All incarnates, and probably other dimensional soul projections, 'upload' experience to the soul/cloud. All information is accessible to the soul emanations, according to their ability. It would be timelessly latent.

For me the higher self is the personal aspect of soul and is intimately involved in our daily affairs. This is our partner when we seek to review our day and its interactions.

All terminology used is my own language for these discussions. Any variance with identical terms with different meanings is understood and accepted.

This is a very nice analogy. My only addition would involve the statement relating to the higher self. As we are to the individual portion of soul, and may draw our "memory" from it, so the higher self would be that furthest future portion, existing after the many recordings of the emanations would have been complete. It is an amazing spectacle to behold (internally) when the HS chirps up and explains this or that, but one must be listening to hear it, and humble to accept it.

This touches on to another thought form I have held, involving incorrect action and the remediation of self, that being that through this inner interaction with the higher self, it becomes possible to "learn lessons" directly, rather than with the reality as the intermediary. Karma gets burned off at a rapid pace, and development into the higher, or spiritual ideals comes about in short order. Part of my current course is in the practice and analysis of these, hence the apparently sound advice from what would to some appear to be a young and not exactly worldly wise person. Makes my butt hurt, just thinking about it. ;)

Wonderful practice, thanks.

I don't write them down, but I do notice, particularly if it is repetitious. Ted Andrews "Animal Speak" book has always been a good guide for me.

Several years ago my place was infested with ants. What a nightmare. Then I remembered Animal Speak. Looked up "ant". Of course, industrious, order and discipline. No surprises, but I realized I was going through a phase of putting everything off that needed to be done, especially with a particular writing project. hmm . .as soon as I began
diligently working on the project again - bingo! . . the ants disappeared.

Yes it is old news, they are forgiven because I understand the mechanism at play & don't see it as their fault either, and have them at a suitable distance of 1000+ miles for good measure ;)

I don't see how any parent can be perfect (no one is), but as long as they do parent their children & love them they are doing both what they can & their duty, unfortunately narcissistic parents do neither, but demand that the child act as if they do in front of others, sometimes the child will delude themselves about the parent(s) in what is called a "fantasy bond" which often proves disastrous in later life, fortunately for me I was never under such an illusion, unlike my poor brothers who still don't get it.

One thing I learnt from studying history at Uni, was the effect that wars had on the father, the man. Of course when they came home it affected their wife, and then a flow-on effect to the children in turn.

And that in turn flows down into a generational thing.

I can see that happened in my family. And it is no-one's fault, not the individual.

Easy to see with 20/20 hindsight. It doesn't correct the problems overnight though. But being aware of it is half the battle.

I have handwritten letters my Grandfather wrote to his Mother during the first world war. Very stoic, matter of fact, when stating the most inhumane of conditions.

One particular letter (probably when his psychic guard was down and very ill) spoke of seeing his best mate's brains blown out, right next to him. His brains were sprayed all over my Grandfather. And that's just one tidbit he shared, who knows what other atrocities he never shared.

He came back to Australia by a miracle with all limbs intact after 4 years in the trenches. He went on to have a successful business, but at what cost to his wife, his sons and future generations. It lives in me still.

It's not their fault.

Maybe we get given our parents for karmic reasons ? According to my past life memories (if they are real, its complicated lol) I was a bomber pilot in the RAF (WW2) in my previous life, and I lost so many friends that I swore an oath to turn my back on love, because it seemed like a destructive force from my POV (I have a memory of doing this) so I ended up with parents (specifically a mother, who is the most important in this regard) incapable of love.

I am sure I picked the two people who were going to be responsible for seeing to my peoper development. I chose people who would sit on me and hold me back until I was on my path enough to be able to not make youthful mistakes. Power is something most children do not have the emotional control to wield without things getting ugly. My parents were a gauntlet to run, of sorts. That means they were difficult. All went mostly to plan. Parenting is often hard for children and parents alike.

I don't understand what message is being delivered here. I am also unsure which lama you are referring to. The lama monk, or the llama animal?

Beating either one does little to improve my ability to understand why this post was made.

Mastery of the drum involves setting down the drum and laying the hands to rest.

Then it is the heart, the mind, the spirit, these each may make their percussion, and the balance of these makes the most wonderful rythyms.

The quote was form a tibetan monk on the buddhist geek podcast.

So its about the lama monks. As we have a purple lama here these days that seems quite capable of producing sounds without beating.
I thought I'd share it in the tent he spends his time here..

That said it of course has me wondering. Do the beatings of life produce more usefull insights?
Is it possible to grow without one?

Beating of course being everything from a mild irritation to full on heardship and suffering.

I spent time with my medicine drum last evening. It had been calling me for a while as I had been neglecting our time together. The good thing with winter is that I did not need to warm it up to get the humidity out, so there it was, ready and eager. The heartbeat is my favorite beat.

These days, it's in the -20's C around here, so definitely inside ... brrr. In the summertime, I do go outside and keep the tone down. One would not even know I am drumming unless they saw me. Of course, then, I do not let the songs come out, because those can get quite noisy. LOL

I'm playing with the idea of not going to work today... it's cold outside, we had a snow storm, and I just don't feel like it. urgh! But then I think of the people who are waiting on me. Ok, ok... I'm going!

Is there a 'technology' associated with these towers?

I will expand on this question, what grows best & at what height on the tower & on which side & do you orientate it with a face or a corner to the north.

The design is great, ingeniously simple, with a chopsaw & an electric screwdriver quick to make too, if you use those hose pipe snap connectors the watering could be built in, removing the need to hold one over the top or lift a heavy watering can.

I am also guessing from the look of the proportions that the height is a standard length of wood (say six feet ) & that the length of the "shelves" is a whole fraction of one of those lengths (like 3) so that wood use is optimal/ waste minimal ? If it is thats how I make stuff too :chrs:

PurpleLama
27th January 2014, 20:03
okok let's see...

The vertical pieces and the crossbars are 2x6 and the shelves are 2x8, the shelves and cross pieces are 2 feet long, and the height is 6 feet. The whole project, three planters, had only a few small scraps left over, as it was all taken from 12 foot lengths. Each planter has space for 64 row feet. it is all made from untreated pine, I opted to make it from material that will ultimately rot, but will not add unwanted chemicals into the mix. I have advised them all to bury logs in the dirt as they fill the inner space. I know quite a bit about companion planting, and planting by the moon, so everyone will be checking with me on the what goes where, when.

It is the idea that some compostables will be able to go into the space at the top, as well, which will help hold in the moisture. The steps on the north and south corners will make watering and putting compostables into the top a bit easier, too.

As for "technology", I will likely be providing some crystals to one household, one household has their own already, and the other won't be interested. I figure it is a win just getting them into growing their own organic produce, and all three houses are all fired up for that. I also found some organic wood dye, so two of them will wind up all kinds of funky colors.

I think when people talk about reptiles and *dramatic gasp* reptilians, things are greatly oversimplified. There are three main areas which in my mind are oversimplified. The first is the reptilian brain, the second is the existence of dinosaurs before mammalian dominance beginning 65 MYA, and the third is the idea that all reptile species are confined to a primitive existence.

For the first, the "reptilian" brain is no more a feature of reptiles than it is a feature of mammals. Why do we call it the reptillian brain when all mammals possess it too? Is it a way of externalising those bestial impulses? A way of disowning them as "not really ours"? We have, thanks to mammalian evolution, the ability to temper those bestial impulses with affection and, especially in humans, with the reason of the prefrontal cortex. We have the ability to rise above those bestial impulses and yet so often do not. Furthermore, for all we think of our bodies as vehicles of our lofty spirits, without the faculties of that reptilian brain, our bodies would never have progressed to the point at which they were fit for our spirits, but now they are we will denigrate those faculties that brought our bodies here, that prepared them for our spirits? It seems a little ungrateful.

For the second, I raise the idea that reptilians have some sort of superior claim to the earth because of the previous predominance of dinosaurs on earth. For all it is commonly assumed that dinosaurs were the first real forms of complex life on earth, there were animals before them. Before the first age of dinosaurs (the Triassic), there was the Permian era, an era in which the pelycosaurs ruled. Now for all they share the -saur suffix of the dinosaurs and many other ancient animals, they were closer to mammals than they were to reptilians, and so why don't mammals, as their descendants, have the superior claim? Of course, in those days there were no mammals or reptiles, but these animals, like dimetrodon and edaphosaurus, were more closely related to mammals than reptiles.

These animals were originally called "mammal-like reptiles" out of the assumption that, as mammals were obviously more evolved than reptiles, reptiles must have come first. It wasn't until anatomical research revealed that these were closer to mammals and so should probably be called "reptile-like mammals" that this name fell out of use. But of course, before these beings, there were other beings. Before these were those who still lived close to the primordial waters from which they had emerged: the insects and the amphibians. If a "first come, first serve" rule applies when it comes to apportioning ownership of the earth, neither mammals nor reptiles would win the day, as we're both Johnny come latelies. All hail the frogs, rulers of the earth! Lol

That behaviour referred to in the first point as behaviour of the reptilian brain is perhaps best thought of as Root chakra functioning, which is concerned with material provision and security. This brings me onto the third point. You know, there is an insidious form of racism which accuses any display of intelligence from a black person as an attempt to act or "pass off" as white. If any black person displaying intelligence is accused of trying to imitate white people, the idea that "true" black people aren't intelligent is surreptitiously reinforced. The same happens with reptiles. When we think of reptiles, we think of cannibalistic Komodo dragons or the living image of the prehistoric archosaurs, the crocodilians. While ever we limit the idea of what a reptilian is to primitive, bestial beings, we will only ever be surrounded by primitive, bestial reptiles. In fact, it is not that reptiles are not as capable of intelligence and affection as any mammal, just that we exclude intelligent and affectionate reptiles from the popular definition of reptile. There is a clade of reptiles that have displayed intelligence unparalleled outside our most immediate evolutionary relatives, including the ability not only to use tools, but to fashion purpose-built and highly specific tools. They have displayed an ability to form emotional relationships not just with their own kind, but also with other animals, including humans. They have also displayed culture in the form of ritual, specifically ritual related to the death of one of their kind.

This clade of reptile is the clade of the birds. By no scientific definition can reptiles be construed as excluding the birds. Ravens have been shown to create highly specific and novel tools for puzzles. They do so in a case-by-case basis demonstrating an adaptive intelligence, and not one which finds a single tool and uses it in so basic a way that it is instinctive. Parrots engaged in intelligence and language-processing experiments have been shown to develop highly personal and affectionate relationships with their scientists, even to the point of being able to express that affection verbally. Finally, magpies have been shown engaged in rudimentary funeral rites for deceased fellows, just like elephants. While we continue to deny the reptilian nature of the birds, reptiles will always be deprived of their greatest success. Do not forget the symbol of the united kingdom of Egypt. The cobra rises and becomes the hawk. To disbar the birds from the reptiles is to say "an intelligent, affectionate or highly evolved reptile" is a contradiction in terms. If such a nonsensical idea were applied to mammals, we would have to emancipate the human race, most cetaceans, elephants, pigs and simians from the races of mammals.

Bird brains do not show the same adaptations by which humans arose like the centaur from among the races of beasts, but they have found different paths to the same heights. There is nothing primitive in reptiles that isn't also present in mammals, and there is nothing advanced in mammals that isn't found in reptiles (specifically, birds). If the reign of the dinosaurs somehow has the power to grant ownership of the earth, the surely that goes to the birds which descend from them, rather than all other reptiles, which do not? It is popular to think of reptiles as the epitome of primitiveness, but how can we think that of those who gave us crows and parrots and eagles? Oh, don't like the birds, they're just self-hating reptiles acting mammalian.

I once belonged to a pagan chat room. I was astounded by how many witches had no real grounding in the basics of passive magic and how one weaves webs of meaning by being able to see underlying energies in events and objects. So, rather than go into any deep explanation, I will lay out the very few basics and comment on the utility of this knowledge as it develops.

The affiliations given are the classical ones and end at Saturn.

METALS:
Moon=Silver
Sun=Gold
Mercury=Mercury. Aluminum is a modern affiliation.
Venus=Copper
Mars=Iron
Jupiter=Tin
Saturn=Lead

As a musician, the use of certain metals reveals recipes to those in the know. Bronze being a very good example. Basic bronze is made of Copper and Tin. Venus and Jupiter. A warm organic Venus with outgoing/expansive and regal Jupiter. A very nice recipe for bells made to evoke a protective yet inviting nature.

Now it gets interesting.(At least to me it does) The basic recipe for bronze given above is, more often than not, a starting point. The addition of silver, popular in many sacred bells, brings in the power of the Moon. It speaks to deep parts of our selves. Gold can also be added. Lead in anything that emits waves, as in sound, is a very unsafe thing to do. Repeated exposure to these vibrations will cause neurological problems. This was demonstrated during the use if lead crystals that were used in an instrument called a harmonium. Players and frequent listeners developed various neuropathologies that abated when exposure to the music was stopped.

Iron adds the energy of Mars. A little can be like pepper (a Martian herb) and add vibrancy, too much can aggravate to aggressiveness.

Although proportions of different metals produce different tones and that is one part of the science, the other is adding metals for their desired energetic synergies. The amount of intent used is more important than the volume of the actual metal when energetic considerations part of the magic. Bells and gongs are able to clear and add their own frequencies when used.

I have a medium sized Tibetan bell that clearly has some Silver in it and at least a couple of flakes of Gold.

I'm not surprised intent is the prime ingredient, that makes sense. Am I to assume you mean intent from the actual maker of a bell, the one who rings it, or maybe even both?

Looks like we're getting into the realms of alchemy here, of which I have very little knowledge. So going back to the intent factor, here is a real life question as to practical application: There's an old, fairly decent sized iron bell set in a concrete knee wall in front of our house by the previous owner. That would make it an awfully peppery dish huh? Are you saying I can tone that down a bit through intent, toss in a few different "spices", thus creating a new, and personalized resonance?

Hi modwiz,

So when one gets a feel for say a tibetan singing bowl,
Would you be able to change its frequency or intent by putting different metal objects inside the bowl before ringing it?

Or maybe ornate it with feathers and such to add some animal medicine?
I had never thought of that before...

No, to the first question. I do not wish to confuse magic/energy with make-believe.

The second question is one I had not considered but, it seems a valid way of synergizing energies. If I had a Tibetan bowl, making use of this technique you have suggested would be something I would employ.

Great idea.

I was referring to the intent of the maker. I do want to clarify my statement about intent. Materials matter, sometimes crucially, but the act of creation has many components and conditions.

Regarding your iron ball, it would have to be melted down with the process starting from creation. I would advise against a bell or gong based on iron. It would have a very strong martial resonance.

Yes, that instrument. Good call.

After observing the ill effects of the lead crystals they changed to glass or pure quartz.

It would not surprise me in the slightest to think that different materials have a medicinal or toxic effect on the body simply by creating sound. We know that sound has an influence on the body, and it stands to reason when we consider that sound is information transmission — it's a longitudinal "compression wave" and I think of it as a sort of molecular Chinese whisper, every molecule receiving the information from the molecule on one side and passing it along to the molecule on the other. When we consider that every material in the world has its own vibration, each material that produces sound when struck, &c., has a definitive influence on the nature of that sound. If something is an energetic healer, the sound it produces could carry that healing signature and impart it to all molecules through which the sound passes, including the molecules of our body, and particularly the water in our body that acts as a recorder of energetic imprints.

This is one of the reasons I won't be around stones with fluorine in them. I do not avoid fluoridated water only to go sucking in the energetic poison of fluorine into my own water. My friend and I created a form of energetic healing and purification using sound. We'd take herbs of a certain nature and create a decoction in the normal manner. Then we'd fill a glass about half full with this tincture and add gemstones of a similar nature. Once assembled, we'd run a finger around the rim of the glass repeatedly to generate a sound. We'd only use lead crystal glasses for this if we were using herbs and stones connected to Saturn, Capricorn or Aquarius. As the "recipes" and uses of these things diversfied and multiplied, we began decorating the glasses by painting them in certain colours and inscribing them with symbols and words to contribute to the "flavour".

We considered it was that glass produced a sound amplified by the shape of the glass. This sound would pass through the tincture and stones, which would act upon it the way a coloured lense acts upon light. We know anyway that from a purely physical point of view, one substance will affect the sound produced quite noticeably. They would impart their nature to the sound and its energetic signature. It is like creating an atmosphere or field full of energy of a specific nature. Anybody who could hear the sound was within the field.

If I could recommend nothing else on this topic to people, I would recommend having a set of seven such glasses, one for each chakra. Not only can you use tinctures and stones relating to each chakra, you can change how full the glass is overall to change the note to match the note of each chakra.

Another option when colouring the glasses to "tune" them is to use oil paints. These are useful because they can be mixed with small amounts of essential oils. Once so mixed, they can be painted on the outside of the glass's vessel or bulb and left to dry (you might want to leave a small margin around the rim so you don't rub the paint off) . It's another way of bringing in the energetic quality of plants. For example, by mixing black or green oil paint with a little star anise and clary sage oils, you can make a paint that will strengthen the psychic senses. Using black oil paint with these two oils and painting the back of a piece of glass or the outside of a glass bowl is an effective way of creating a "mirror of art" or scrying bowl respectively.

I'd like to make a small addendum. I said we'd only ever use lead crystal glasses for Saturn, Capricorn or Aquarius, but even then we'd be much more likely not to. Lead seems to carry all the harmful influences of Saturn with none of the good. Saturn can be of a helpful nature, but it's austere and severe and this harshness, already strong enough in Saturn, seems emphasised in lead in a way which drowns out the modest good which Saturn can contribute.

And, at the same time, there's a sense of asymmetry to use lead crystal glasses for Saturn-related things when there isn't a "gold crystal" glass for solar energies, and so on. It may be easier to induce this resonant sound in lead crystal than in ordinary glass, but on an energetic basis this is a false economy.

Most narcotic plants were given an affiliation with Saturn. This was prior to the 'discovery' of Neptune, which fits much better for me. Although I do also see a correlation with the electro-insulative properties of lead and the insulating/deadening affects of narcotics. Especially when abused instead of used. There are times when insulation, of any sort, allows one to survive something that might otherwise overwhelm.

Once again, thank you for bringing thoughtful and informative discourse to the tent.

I'd like to acknowledge Water, the medium for holding intention and information.

I completely agree with your assessment of narcotics as Neptunian rather than Saturnine. Neptune has heavy streaks of escapism running through it, and abuse of narcotics and alcohol and anything that stupefies is of this Neptunian character. Saturn really has very little patience for almost everything Neptunian. The overarching theme of harmfulness that Saturn embodies ensures there will always be some connection when anything is abused, but the narcotic nature of the abuse is strongly Neptunian. As a similar theme, love of food even to the point of sheer gluttony is a Jovian trait, but the harm it does through a complete lack of moderation is a Saturnine trait (moderation itself is also of Saturn). Jupiter loves food, Neptune loves escapist drugs, and Saturn loves problems.

At the same time, though, Saturn loves discipline and when Saturn is well expressed, Jupiter can enjoy food without binging and Neptune can enjoy alcohol without alcoholism. Saturn is the very epitome of the Victorian father; it might have some good influence, but any such nurturing side is hidden beneath layer upon layer of dogmatism and domineering.

What you say of insulation as a life-saver is completely spot on for me. A classical pairing of planets is Mars and Saturn, considered together the two "evil" planets. One is the unstoppable force and the other the immoveable object. When life is rushing at one with a speed and insistence that makes it hard to resist, Saturn has the power to shield against much of that oncoming torrent. It is almost as though it gives one time to acclimatise, to dip one's toe in the water rather than to plummet into it.

For me, drugs which do not deaden but which enliven and are primarily spiritual drugs, like diviner's sage or ayahuasca, are of the nature of Uranus rather than Neptune at least insofar as they are visionary (the purging found in ayahuasca is more Jovian and Venusian, because as a pair nothing is as effective at purification as these two).

My purpose in sharing some of this information is to form a basis of reference that can be built upon.

Color is its own category, so let me start that conversation with days of the week and their colors and planetary affiliations.
Spanish weekday names reveal planetary affiliation and are posted where applicable.

Sunday, yellow/gold, the Sun.
Monday/Moonday, white/silver, the Moon.
Tuesday/Martes, Red,Crimson, Mars.
Wednesday/Miercoles, Blue, Mercury.
Thursday/Jueves, Purple, Jupiter.
Friday/Viernes, Green, Venus.
Satuday/Sabado, Black, Saturn.

Four of the five week days are aligned with the Norse pantheon.

Tiwsday. Tiw,Tiu, Tir is their equivalent god of war. although (W)Odin/Woden shares some of those duties.
Wodensday. Correspondence with Mercury is tenuous in some views but, it seems good to me. Especially with Loki as a traveling companion.
Thorsday. Thor made lightning and so did Zeus/Jupiter/Jove.
Freyasday. Also Frigga.

I find the cultural aspects of Norse mythology to be unique and less universal (unless worked) than the Greco/Roman concepts.

I agree completely with your distinction between the differences in the ways Jupiter and the Sun work. For me, Jupiter is a mirror in the incarnated world of the Sun, which is the original principle in the supernal. Venus, on the other hand, is like the avatar of the Moon. The Sun and the Moon are the primordial yang and yin. The primordial yang is in its essence a projection, the process of taking something from a state of potential to a state of actuality. The primordial yin is a reception, the process of taking something from a state of actuality into a state of potential.

These two have corollaries in the incarnated worlds in the planets Jupiter and Venus. Jupiter mirrors the primordial projection of the Sun and can be thought of as a high priest commending something to the spirit. Venus, on the other hand, is like a priestess or oracle not sending up to the spirit, but divining something from the spirit into the physical. Between the Sun which projects from the spirit and Venus which takes delivery, there is a path of divination. Likewise between Jupiter which promotes from the physical and the Moon which beckons back towards the spirit, there is a path of hallowing, erection or dedication.

Jupiter and Venus then are like lesser-world analogues of higher-world principles, though in their interactions they cross to their complimentary principle. The way the three principal spheres on the tree of life, Kether, Chokmah and Binah (Crown, Wisdom and Understanding/realisation) are supernal spheres mirrored in incarnation by the spheres by Tiphareth, Chesed and Gvurah (brilliance/beauty, mercy and strength/destruction), the principles represented by the Sun and Moon find counterparts in Jupiter and Venus.

Because Venus embodies in the physical world the primordial magnetic, it has the power to thoroughly cleanse by drawing in spiritual light. Then, the magnifying power of Jupiter commends the cleansed thing to the spirit world, it raises the vibration by bridging the gap between the physical and the spiritual, between the low and the high. The combination of Venus and Jupiter is an act of hierogamy in which the worlds are brought closer together. It is like the neopagan practice of casting a circle in that the circle is held to exist simultanaeously in all worlds.

Venus cleanses by drawing down spiritual light which drives away spiritual dross or stagnating energy. Jupiter then follows up on this cleansing by creating a degree of imperviousness to that dross or stagnation. The two together are like cleaning a piece of furniture and then applying a layer of wipe-clean varnish.

In the incarnated world, those original principles, the primordial yang and yin, called the electric and magnetic principles in Bardonian terminology, are represented in different ways. The incarnated electric forces are the resplendent fire (Mars) and lofty air/wind (Uranus), while the incarnated magnetic forces are the abyssal water (Neptune) and the barren earth (Saturn). Jupiter and Venus stand between these four.

The four elements are like a kaleidoscopic fracturing of the original principles. As yang and yin are two faces of the one spirit, so are the two elements of each polarity a fracturing of the original principles. As Yang is incarnated it fractures into Yang of Yang, or fire, and Yin of Yang, or air. Likewise as Yin is incarnated it fractures into Yang of Yin, or water, and Yin of Yin, or earth. This is why fire is the most energetic of the elements and earth is the densest.

Because Jupiter and Venus best represent in an incarnated sense the discarnate Yang and Yin, they less than any other force least demonstrate this fracturing of energy. As the ember burns and churns out smoke, there is a moment of transition at which fire becomes air. This is Jupiter, and so it is both fire and air. As stirred water settles and the sediment sinks, or else as water freezes and becomes ice, there is also a moment of transition in which the flowing of water becomes the hibernating earth. This is Venus. Venus is dissolution and Jupiter confirmation or erection.

In this way, a purification and hallowing by application of the electric and magnetic mediators (the terms I use to describe Jupiter and Venus respectively) is a consecration by all the elements. Furthermore, the status of Jupiter and Venus as the greater and lesser benefics implies into the working a useful beneficence.

As you said we can only go by our own understanding, so too do I realise that these are only my meditations upon the elements and their interactions, and so their catholicity is in nowise assumed.

My purpose in sharing some of this information is to form a basis of reference that can be built upon.

Color is its own category, so let me start that conversation with days of the seek and their colors and planetary affiliations.
Spanish weekday names reveal planetary affiliation and are posted where applicable.

Sunday, yellow/gold, the Sun.
Monday/Moonday, white/silver, the Moon.
Tuesday/Martes, Red,Crimson, Mars.
Wednesday/Miercoles, Blue, Mercury.
Thursday/Jueves, Purple, Jupiter.
Friday/Viernes, Green, Venus.
Satuday/Sabado, Black, Saturn.

Four of the five week days are aligned with the Norse pantheon.

Tiwsday. Tiw,Tiu, Tir is their equivalent god of war. although (W)Odin/Woden shares some of those duties.
Wodensday. Correspondence with Mercury is tenuous in some views but, it seems good to me. Especially with Loki as a traveling companion.
Thorsday. Thor made lightning and so did Zeus/Jupiter/Jove.
Freyasday. Also Frigga.

I find the cultural aspects of Norse mythology to be unique and less universal (unless worked) than the Greco/Roman concepts.

The links between Odin and Mercury as the gods of Wednesday and Mercredi become more obvious when we consider Mercury not as messenger of the gods, but as Hermes Psychopompos, one of the gods responsible for leading souls to the afterlife.

It might (or might not) interest you to know that the East Asian names for the days of the week follow a similar pattern. In Japanese, they are 月曜日 (getsuyōbi, or moon-week-day), 火曜日 (kayōbi, or fire-week-day), 水曜日 (suiyōbi, or water-week-day), 木曜日 (mokuyōbi, or wood-week-day), 金曜日 (kin'yōbi, or metal-week-day), 土曜日 (doyōbi, or earth-week-day) and 日曜日 (nichiyōbi, or sun-week-day). The ka-, sui-, moku-, kin- and do- in the names of Tuesday to Saturday are taken from the words 火星, 水星, 木星, 金星, and 土星 (kasei - Mars, suisei - Mercury, mokusei - Jupiter, kinsei - Venus and dosei, Saturn).

The names of the days are clearly linked to the seven major planets, and each is connected to one of the five Eastern elements. The Japanese use the five Chinese elements of metal, fire, wood, water and earth, despite having a five element system much more like the Western form: they have fire, wind, water and earth, and "void" in the place of aethyr.

I never worked with them in that sense.
In my mind its not so much an affiliated colour more that the days of the week are that colour. they are indistinguishable.
If i think of the day of the week the colour is there also. Always..

Single most powerful...? Not sure I can answer from that perspective but, hopefully I can be of some help.
I lucid dream as I need to. Need to do so depends on what is happening in a dream.

Lucid dreaming developed naturally for me. It began when I broke the cycle of a recurring bad dream that would awaken me from sleep. It was always me on some remote, towering precipice just there with no path down. How I got there was never part of the dream. I would find my self, complete with vertigo from the height, just clinging for dear life. This terror always ended with me waking up. This would occur until the breakthrough.....

I began having fairly regular flying dreams. They began with rudimentary skills often proceeding from a sense of weightlessness and lower gravity pull. Over time I could just fly, Like Neo. LOL

One night, during an unpleasant depositing upon a precipice, my usual horror ended quickly. I remembered I could fly. I flew off the precipice and have never been troubled by this dream again.

This has led to me becoming lucid during some other frustrating dream scenes and making use of the "laws of physics" that seem to apply in my dream state. Pulling together broken plates, cleaning rooms with the wave of a hand of intent of a thought. Very much like a Harry Potter scenario.

What technique did I use? Having a gentle desire with no time frame but, a playful spirit.

I don't know what the Reptoid diet is. Simon Parkes might. Terrified children seem to be part of some sort of ritualistic food rite. (Adrenaline hint) If we call it loosh, and the term fits well enough here, then it is the denizens of the loosh 'ecosystem who are the consumers of this chemical-energetic output.

I would seem the Reptoids consume more substantial material food. As a basic diet?


is that not the energy that they are suppose to feed on?
sexual,violent,hatred,egoistic,jealousy,argumentat ive ,controlling?

Sexual energy is not a default loosh producer. Lust, and behaviors associated with this possession, are where the loosh is generated. Matter of factly, within all of these emotions/conditions is fear as the basis or catalyst. Fear is the great adrenaline trigger and loosh producer.

Loosh and fear. If fear were fire, loosh would be smoke. Better, more concise, analogies would involve more typing and some 'pulling'.

PurpleLama
31st January 2014, 20:09
I would posit that even lust itself is not the loosh producer, per se, so much as loosh is produces any time an emotive quality takes control and becomes an addictive behavior. There are distinctions, of course, depending on what definition one ascribes to the word. In the sense I would intend for this statement, would entail purely physical attraction. I love my wife, I lust her too, we are both happy with this arrangement. Were I to give in to the abstract feeling of lust, and go chasing every potential candidate for that feeling, I might be happy but my wife would see it quickly become the end of me. A jealous streak, she has.

The point is, it isn't a question of feelings, in my view, but a question of self control, that leads one to the production of the energetic foods of those undesired constructs that would feed upon it. One might take that into the definition of lust itself, as a given, and that's fine but not what I mean. Any good thing can be taken to some extreme, and bring about the nasty juju.

I agree totally and only the poverty of my phrasing did not convey that sufficiently. Your spousal scenario was a great example and complimented my own post-post thought. How, without some of the baggage that can ride with lust, often after the fact, shame is to play some part. In a clean lust, as you mentioned, one can access many delicious aspects of ones being. Accessing our noble animal nature is a real treat. Still, one makes this journey 'safely' when there will be no second guessing about behavior. Some peril being an excellent focusing tool.

I spoke of lust and the often attendent qualities that ride along when lust chooses a path that is not clear. I speak of being secretive, furtive, fearful of discovery.

Lust was a good one to highlight, PL. Human sexuality is bound to so much of our dysfunction. Even "moral" sex.:fpalm:

Indeed. Even the animal fear has its place as a safety mechanism, but in rumination or obsession becomes a form of possession, either more or less subtle. So much of what is good and desirable in this creaturehood we all partake of has bee turned and twisted by religiosity to mean other than what creator intended for us. We all have our experience of "demons" and what pulls me from the path is not the same as what would pull you. For you, in all your wisdom, have your weakness, and I have my weaknesses as well.

My own approach, being one to balance, has been to make sure if I work hard, I play just as hard, and if I play hard the the corresponding work is to be done. I am not at all opposed to drunken revelry, so long as it is not the goal but fellowship is. Angels still abound in my space as the consciousness gets blurred by drink, but this statment is also subtly illustrative of why such behavior would be anathema to me in public. In the safe spaces of my home, and that of my friends and family, the guard can be let down.

I only use this example, as I know it is one you have experienced the converse, and can speak to that. That which I consider to be my weakness is closer instead to the previous example, that being lust. As much as it is a boon to me and my spouse, I was married once before, in my early-mid 20s, and while she had the experience of physical infidelity, it was preceded by my own mental/emotional infidelity.

Meditation is a wonderful thing, I had a handle on the part I had played in that vivid learning experience in a matter of months, but that was not sufficient for me to avoid the "karma" of the next really major relationship I had which had the circumstance of the other shutting off the physical side of the relationship while I was still very much interested, giving me a direct insight into what I had put my poor exwife through.

Nowadays, the closest thing we have to a marital issue is my natural state of being aloof to mundane chores needing attention, and my ability to not realize when the garbage needs to be emptied, while I am perfectly willing to take it out if it is brought to my attention. I am wandering here, so I will stop.

Venus, on the other hand, is like a priestess or oracle not sending up to the spirit, but divining something from the spirit into the physical. Between the Sun which projects from the spirit and Venus which takes delivery, there is a path of divination. Likewise between Jupiter which promotes from the physical and the Moon which beckons back towards the spirit, there is a path of hallowing, erection or dedication.

Jupiter and Venus then are like lesser-world analogues of higher-world principles, though in their interactions they cross to their complimentary principle. The way the three principal spheres on the tree of life, Kether, Chokmah and Binah (Crown, Wisdom and Understanding/realisation) are supernal spheres mirrored in incarnation by the spheres by Tiphareth, Chesed and Gvurah (brilliance/beauty, mercy and strength/destruction), the principles represented by the Sun and Moon find counterparts in Jupiter and Venus.

Because Venus embodies in the physical world the primordial magnetic, it has the power to thoroughly cleanse by drawing in spiritual light. Then, the magnifying power of Jupiter commends the cleansed thing to the spirit world, it raises the vibration by bridging the gap between the physical and the spiritual, between the low and the high. The combination of Venus and Jupiter is an act of hierogamy in which the worlds are brought closer together. It is like the neopagan practice of casting a circle in that the circle is held to exist simultanaeously in all worlds.

Venus cleanses by drawing down spiritual light which drives away spiritual dross or stagnating energy. Jupiter then follows up on this cleansing by creating a degree of imperviousness to that dross or stagnation. The two together are like cleaning a piece of furniture and then applying a layer of wipe-clean varnish.

In the incarnated world, those original principles, the primordial yang and yin, called the electric and magnetic principles in Bardonian terminology, are represented in different ways. The incarnated electric forces are the resplendent fire (Mars) and lofty air/wind (Uranus), while the incarnated magnetic forces are the abyssal water (Neptune) and the barren earth (Saturn). Jupiter and Venus stand between these four.

The four elements are like a kaleidoscopic fracturing of the original principles. As yang and yin are two faces of the one spirit, so are the two elements of each polarity a fracturing of the original principles. As Yang is incarnated it fractures into Yang of Yang, or fire, and Yin of Yang, or air. Likewise as Yin is incarnated it fractures into Yang of Yin, or water, and Yin of Yin, or earth. This is why fire is the most energetic of the elements and earth is the densest.

Because Jupiter and Venus best represent in an incarnated sense the discarnate Yang and Yin, they less than any other force least demonstrate this fracturing of energy. As the ember burns and churns out smoke, there is a moment of transition at which fire becomes air. This is Jupiter, and so it is both fire and air. As stirred water settles and the sediment sinks, or else as water freezes and becomes ice, there is also a moment of transition in which the flowing of water becomes the hibernating earth. This is Venus. Venus is dissolution and Jupiter confirmation or erection.

In this way, a purification and hallowing by application of the electric and magnetic mediators (the terms I use to describe Jupiter and Venus respectively) is a consecration by all the elements. Furthermore, the status of Jupiter and Venus as the greater and lesser benefics implies into the working a useful beneficence.

As you said we can only go by our own understanding, so too do I realise that these are only my meditations upon the elements and their interactions, and so their catholicity is in nowise assumed.

This is fascinating SK, glad you saved it,lb

Ah, different paradigms we experience, then. No worries, I am safely tucked inside my dome. My experience says, something may not enter unless invited, therefore I monitor my level of invitation. Self awareness necessitates the examination of the desirable and undesirable alike, otherwise the door is left wide open.

It is a fortunate circumstance, that while the physical garbage is wanting attention, the mental garbage is scarcely allowed to accumulate, as that could be worse, much worse. It is something to behold, the communication that happens (redneck style) at my house, nothing held back, therefore no explosions necessary.

I would, and I will, when the dust settles a bit. I will meditate on an effective communication of the concepts involved, and get back to you. I will put up a link on your profile page, when I do. In the meantime, the other wizard may choose to elaborate on his own methodologies, which would surely be a compliment to mine. Ah, heck, let 'er rip.

First off, one must operate with a few assumptions, that being that we are the points at the tip of a ray of illumination that originates with creator, also one must assume that thoughts are things thereby even the thoughts given what can be said to be an ordinary amount of concentration attain a certain level of structure (ordinary means unpracticed, nothing special, just plain ol' concentration), and operating with such assumption one conveys one's intention to Universe and it responds by creating it most efficiently. There are different ways of communicating one's intention to create something, in this case a shield. One might speak it, "Place a shield this size over this thing/place" and accompany this by visualizing it happening as one says it. Alternately, one may prefer to produce a quick drawing of the target/location if one does not have the best visual capacity. Within what belief system one uses, or not, one might enlist higher help as one will, but this is in my estimation only engaging one's own higher energies that have merely been ascribed to some outside source. I do not recommend making it too elaborate, such as attempting to produce a merkaba out of one's own body, for although such might appear to have some shielding quality about it, that isn't what it is really for, and without knowing the real uses of it one might be tapping into something less controllable, and therefore potentially dangerous. Such things are not for everyone (anyone?), contrary to popular belief. Lotsa new age kids out there playing with matches and gasoline.

There is no game so, there are no cards either.

Your aggressiveness indicates you do not like this thread,probably because it is not unfolding in a fashion you hold some expectation of. I hope you come to the same conclusion as me that this thread is not going to offer you anything of value. At least at this stage of it. It may assume a form that you would find some worth in.

I find this protective dome people have spoken of not at all a difficult thing to erect. I think the greatest obstacle people come across in trying to make use of their own protective power is realising that they have it and how readily it can be used. People think anything worthwhile has to be difficult. They also think it cannot possibly be that for something to come at them, it has in some way to be invited. The tarot card the Hanged Man is a good focus of meditation in this regard; for all he hangs there and looks a victim of circumstance, what is his complicity in his situation? How has he brought it upon himself through his actions or omissions? What does he do or not do that leaves him hanging?

Loosh is the energetic equivalent of junk food, which feeds the starving though forms that know not proper nourishment. It is a word for the ill and uncontrolled emotions that a human is capable of producing in some circumstances which go to feed the nasties. Bad thoughts or feelings produce the energies that the thought form ingests, which causes the thought form to engage with one to produce more of what it likes. You see the analogy, but have heard it described with other terms, before.

Thank you kindly :) Brevity? Oh no, I do not have a problem with brevity. I enjoy it very much. I find it refreshing actually. Oh wait. You meant am I not brief? Depends on one's perspective. I do not ask every question that comes to mind, so in that regard I can be considered quite restrained. However, I do seem to fumble with the right words, which gives rise to longer posts at times.

I will observe, just this once, that although 1inmany may pretend to be the questioning observer, she is quite the wizard in her own right. Many modes of magic there are abouts, and she is quite the master of her's, although perhaps it is not fully recognized (yet).

I do not want and will not engage in an argument. The unfolding of Ronin in the tent demonstrates where the source of contention is and your choice of words were less than optimal if curiosity, rather than bellicosity, was the point of your post. I cannot honestly see how that is the case. I, and we, were just being tenters when you joined us. It did not work for you. To now try to imply that I want to 'argue' is hard case to make with your trail of posts behind you.

Could be the Moon, could be my thread sucks for you.

There is nothing for you here, at this time. Except to bait me, and I'm not hungry.

I am open for shift.
