Where Angels and other angles Fear to thread... or tread

lobsterlobster Crusty Veteran

As a Bourne never again Falling Angle, or Angel ascending (never quite sure which):

  • From Christianity and Trolls I have learned, "Fear of the Buddha (or similar) is the beginning of Wisdom". On a deeper than super-fiscal or superficial level, wot does this meanie mean? It is the equivalent of 'Be Prepared for the unexpected' (good luck with that). Do not dwell in the mind now passed or mind yet to be. Simple really.

  • Many of us are guilty of a X-tian down-bringing, as opposed to a potential upbringing. Shame on US.

  • As a mostly Buddhist x-ponent I use as mantras; Our Father, Islamist chants, Hindu mantra AND anything I can glean from the New Age money spinning franchises.

It is why I provide Dana (alms) to the un-bless-able. Feeding stations to the imaginary beings and emergency rescue picnics to Heaven or Hell on Earth, as it is.

I heard today that it has been mathematically proven that 3 angels can dance on the head of a pin. In FAQs we can-can probably fit more.

Am I going wrong again? Ah well nothing and no one is perfect. Not even [insert preference]

    I think you should start a religion, @lobster…

    …there are sufficient religions (The image is from the Jains). Beginners, students and seekers after the Truth Fairy, not so many…

    Meanwhile I might just learn to breath…

    Truth. All the students these days learn engineering, not so many do philosophy.

    Been developing my https://mettaray.com aims and directions:

    MettaRay supports the evolving future with several initial directions for changes in existing Social, Economic, Political, Media, Educational, Science and Spiritual requirements...

    • We presently promote interaction using Mastodon and federated open source software

    • We prefer lateral and co-operative economic models

    • Politically we align with newer forms of organisation

    • We prefer independent, individual and on site in depth journalism

    • Education through on line and independent expertise

    • Science based on tested verification

    • Internal development through tested and arising techniques

    Thanks for your kind words. <3
    It is hard work for me @paulysotoo

    It takes what seems like forever to do the simplest things.
    I have to concentrate on one small thing at a time AND I can barely do this stuff. I find computers exasperating and frustrating really because the internet has got worse to use, instead of easier, simpler and better.

    http://mettaray.com is the front page and will have to start as a family server to start with

    If you can join mastodon (even using that is completely different to most data collection social media) and BUT I have learned so much AND this is the problem.

    Need to focus...

    When I was a young krill, I had a liking for Esoteric Christianity
    Learning about the rose bud, the Rose Cross and other alternative forms of x-tianity...

    I trained with this group, they had meetings in London but never visited their main temple. Their material on hermetic alchemy and other topics is still on going...

    I had a quick peek at their website, it looked fairly harmless.

    I wasn’t serious about starting a religion, I think maybe we should try emptying our cup first.

    When pouring zen tea. Keep going until the pot is emptied. Better yet suck from the spout…

  • Looking in on the blather...
    Hail to the Great Krill!
    Hail to the Mighty Smelt!
    Bask in the warmth of the Southern Arctic Shrimp!
    Drink deeply from the Dry Lake
    Bask in the glory of the Sunfish.

    After all that, time for the warm fire and the hot cocoa as the squirrels regale us with their tales of nuts and dogs.

    Peace to all

    Thanks @Lionduck

    Squirrels and robins are some of my teachers.
    We even have indoor spring bulbs, growing under lights.
    Amazing the speed of growth. Expected flowering in early December, the way they are pushing up.

    You know, I think I might have some cacao now. Good plan.
