Warrior-traveller.



And warrior lives by that he/she acts..



We are beings that will meet with death someday in our encounter with Infinity, facing it, we can live like that.

[scout1]

Its Infinity either way, warrior or not. Its called Samsara, from the original pali word Samsaro: creating worlds and travelling them. And this samsara process includes also stress and difficulties (dukkha), life and death, sometimes pain, even great pain, love and sorrow. Don Juans agrees with me, this is all in domain of a man, such a struggle, happines and pain.



Thus you do skillful (good) action (karma) of body/bodie, speech, intention/thought resulting in happiness, or you do unskilful (wrong) action of body/bodies, speech, intention/thought resulting in suffering, pain, darkness.



Its Infinity, Samsaro. Life and death. Transformation/transmigration.

You see that natural state was like that: a nagual of children flying neer the huts where they lived with their parents.



The study is dated to 1600-1880 as to the data.

You should be really afraid....thats the bottom line

[glance left]

In light of what you said in post #384, you really shouldn't be afraid



I've played with the "rheostat" in dreaming....if you're prone to fear, your dreams will reflect that...in the most creative and vivid ways you can imagine which becomes a feedback loop dialing up the rheostat which feeds back into the dream. I can be stopped....*snap*....just like that. Dreams can be transformed...*snap*...just like that. That goes for this dream too, and you know it.



You really shouldn't be afraid....you really should be in love...in joy...in exhilaration...in clarity. It's not hard...it just seems hard. That's flyer's deceit...."it's too hard!" Once you do it, though...you realize it's just a little twist...a little shift, like flicking on a light switch. The challenge is just doing it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.....practicepracticepracticepractice...making the dream bright

GL: i was never, never afraid :-))) of anything. Fear nothing. But be aware of the evil.



I was a bit of a Fool (you can see on the tarot card)



---

[scout1]

GL: yes. thanks.

[scout1]

Fool is the one who is not aware of evil arising in his/her life, detriment in his/her life, not knowing the good and evil - results of ones action=karma, or the most importantly and definitionary the fool (bala in pali) is the ignorant man/woman, not aware of the danger in the next world, ignorant of the results of karma=retribution. The wise is the one who practices as he/she is aware of the danger in the next world (the result of the bad action=karma) and lives and acts accordingly.

[glance left]

I think you're missing the other element of the Fool. The other interpretation. Do you know? It's the difference between the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil...and then just eating form the Tree of Life.

[glance left]

I'm sorry...I'm being overbearing again! I want to resolve this compulsion



I guess I just wanted to bring to light the other side of the duel interpretation of The Fool tarot card....and, to me, it relates to the whole Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life motif. That's my feeling anyways

[scout1]

GL: You are right GL on that

[scout1]

[scout1]

One can tune in to the Intent of lineage. And then, this Intent of lineage tracks helps him/her on his/her way, intent related to the aspect of Universal Intent (Great Spirit).

Gravitational lens reveals details of distant, ancient galaxy
Thanks to the presence of a natural "zoom lens" in space, University
of Chicago scientists working with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope
have obtained a uniquely close-up look at the brightest gravitationally
magnified galaxy yet discovered.

Citizen Scientists Discover Cosmic Bubbles in Milky Way Galaxy
More
than 5,000 space bubbles have been discovered in the disk of our Milky
Way galaxy by a team of part-time citizen scientists.
These bubbles are blown by young, hot stars into the surrounding gas and dust, and indicate areas of brand-new star formation,
scientists
say. "These findings make us suspect that the Milky Way is a much more
active star-forming galaxy than previously thought,"
Eli Bressert,
an astrophysics doctoral student at the European Southern Observatory,
said in a statement. "The Milky Way's disk is like
champagne with
bubbles all over the place." About 35,000 volunteers sifted through data
from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope on the
online Milky Way Project
to make the discoveries. These citizen scientists have found about 10
times more bubbles than previous surveys.

Hubble Views Grand Star-Forming Region
This massive, young stellar grouping, called R136, is only a few million years old and resides in the 30 Doradus Nebula,
a turbulent star-birth region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. There is no known star-
forming region in the Milky Way Galaxy as large or as prolific as 30 Doradus. Many of the diamond-like icy blue stars are
among the most massive stars known. Several of them are 100 times more massive than our sun. These hefty stars are
destined to pop off, like a string of firecrackers, as supernovas in a few million years.

"Some Primordial Black Holes Have Existed Before the Big Bang" - A Radical Theory Says 'Yes'
In recent years, cosmologists have begun to think seriously about processes that occurred before the Big Bang.
Alan Coley from Canada's Dalhousie University and Bernard Carr from Queen Mary University in London, published
a paper in 2011, where they theorized that some so-called primordial black holes might have been created in the
Big Crunch that came before the Big Bang, which supports the theory that the Big Bang was not a single event,
but one that occurs over and over again as the Universe crunches down to a single point, then blows up again.

Honeybees May Have Personality
http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/ ... rsonality/
Bees have different “personalities”, with some showing a stronger willingness or desire to seek
adventure than others, according to a study by entomologists at the University of Illinois.
The
researchers found that thrill-seeking is not limited to humans and
other vertebrates. The brains of honeybees that were more likely than
others to seek
adventure exhibited distinct patterns of gene
activity in molecular pathways known to be associated with
thrill-seeking in humans. The findings present a new
perspective on
honeybee communities, which were thought to be highly-regimented and
comprised of a colony of interchangeable workers taking on a few
specific
roles to serve their queen. It now seems as though individual honeybees
differ in their desire to perform particular tasks and these
differences could be
down to variability in bees’ personalities.
This supports a 2011 study at Newcastle University that suggested that
honeybees exhibit pessimism, suggesting that
insects might have feelings.

NASA Mars Orbiter Catches Twister in Action
An afternoon
whirlwind on Mars lofts a twisting column of dust more than half a mile
(800 meters) high in an image from the High Resolution Imaging Science
Experiment
(HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
HiRISE captured the image on Feb. 16, 2012, while the orbiter passed
over the Amazonis Planitia region of northern
Mars. In the area
observed, paths of many previous whirlwinds, or dust devils, are visible
as streaks on the dusty surface. The active dust devil displays a
delicate arc
produced by a westerly breeze partway up its height.
The dust plume is about 30 yards or meters in diameter. The image was
taken during the time of Martian year when
that planet is farthest
from the sun. Just as on Earth, winds on Mars are powered by solar
heating. Exposure to the sun's rays declines during this season, yet
even now,
dust devils act relentlessly to clean the surface of freshly deposited dust, a little at a time.

SETI and Self-Reproducing Probes
It was back in the 1980s when Robert Freitas came up with a self-reproducing probe concept based on
the British Interplanetary Society’s Project Daedalus, but extending it in completely new directions. Like
Daedalus, Freitas’ REPRO probe would be fusion-based and would mine the atmosphere of Jupiter to acquire
the necessary helium-3. Unlike Daedalus, REPRO would devote half its payload to what Freitas called its
SEED package, which would use resources in a target solar system to produce a new REPRO probe every
500 years. Probes like this could spread through the galaxy over the course of a million years without
further human intervention.
A Vision of Technological Propagation
I leave to wiser heads than mine the question of whether self-reproducing technologies like these will ever be feasible,
or when. My thought is that I wouldn’t want to rule out the possibility for cultures significantly more advanced than ours,
but
the question is a lively one, as is the issue of whether artificial
intelligence will ever take us to a ‘Singularity,’ beyond
which robotic generations move in ways we cannot fathom. John Mathews discusses self-reproducing probes, as we saw
yesterday, as natural extensions of our early planetary explorer craft, eventually being modified to carry out inspections
of the vast array of objects in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud.
