dude that sucked so bad. when i posted that i was literally punching myself in the face to try to distract myself from my tooth. that was probably the worst pain i've ever felt and i have injured myself in some retardedly grievous ways.

hey here is a chart with a lot of good spiritual/esoteric books on it!

i love that he's not numbered- symbolically, then, he's both the end and the beginning. Crowley's Thoth deck places him above The World, the highest card- i view this (like many aspects of the Thoth deck) to be a misrepresentation of the archetype. he's both the end and the beginning (hence your ouroboros pic)

there's a lot contained in that archetype- the more you know, the more you realize you know nothing etc, and like you said, the creative power of a beginning, the potential contained within nothingness etc

sheeeeit man you came to the right place. what are you looking for? any topics you're interested in? what was the last book you read that you enjoyed?

i'm reading "Dogs that Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home" and "The Presence of the Past" by Rupert Sheldrake right now, both very well-written investigations of the idea of morphogenetic fields, essentially (i'm probably butchering this) that species share a collective consciousness. i'm interested in it because it would seem to provide a bridge between science and spirituality.

i'm also reading a book about writing by Umberto Eco- if you like fiction, I highly recommend his "The Name of the Rose" "Foucault's Pendulum" "Baudolino" or "The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana." He is a wonderful storyteller. "The Name of the Rose" is a great detective story about a murder in a Catholic abbey a millennium ago, but manages to be a very interesting and fun-to-read book, and also includes a lot of information about medieval heretical movements, monastic life, and the Church's influence on the history of philosophy.

I finished another work of fiction yesterday, called "the Sense of an Ending" by Julian Barnes, which was a very well-written, sad little novel about aging and memory and human relationships. It made me want to be a better person and to live my life to the fullest.

attached is a picture I found on this site. Man, there are so many books in this world- when I think that I won't ever be able to read even a fraction of them, I get a little sad, just like when I read about places that I would like to visit and realize I probably never will- or, conversely, when I visit a place and leave it, and realize that I'll probably never get the chance to return. Life is bittersweet like that.

why don't you think it would work?

i'd imagine because it is being bought by the corporations and institutions who are going to use it for cross-border payments and remittances and later inter-bank transfers

i've got enough food to provide for myself and feed others for several months as well as medical supplies and the training necessary to use those supplies to help others. i have no weapons because i am protected by powers stronger than guns or blades. if you have violence within you, violence will find you. if you are afraid, whatever you fear will manifest in your reality. remove negativity from your surroundings and you will be protected. you might think i'm LARPing but this has been my philosophy for a decade now and it's never steered me wrong- with that said, use your intuition to perceive the intentions of others and if people mean you harm then move in a way that prevents their plans from coming to fruition

As long as Syria does not hold the Golan Heights they will never be able to ever launch a ground attack on Greater Israel.

Having been their myself I can tell you the commanding position it gives over both countries is incredibly vast, you can lob arty from the Golan Heights to every point in Israel.
