The Mathematics of Dying — O at the Edges

Reminds me of my dad.

Fiery K. Tarot's avatarThe Spinsta Life

The Mathematics of Dying Always the sense of negation, of winnowing those bits you once were. The male grackle struts and displays his tail feathers. Everything slanting towards null, even the treetops. The female’s smaller body lacks blue overtones. A misread signal, the unheeded warning, ignored pain. Counting beaks, adding wings, subtracting heartbeats. The image […]

Mushrooms = Red Meat?

Fiery K. Tarot's avatarThe Spinsta Life

Substitute Mushrooms for Red Meat

Want to lose seven pounds? One of the most logical ways to lose that weight is to simply eat fewer calories than your body needs. But just eating less is not necessarily the answer to long-term weight loss. However, one of the most intriguing, delicious and effective ways to cut calories without actually eating less is to swap mushrooms in place of red meat. The results of a clinical trial published in Appetite suggests that when this is done, it may lead to a reduction of calories, body weight, body fat, body mass index, waist circumference and more. A 7-pound loss is definitely possible. What’s more, weight loss seems to be well maintained while following this strategy. So fire up the grill and toss on a portobello for a delicious, sizzling mushroom “steak.”

Meet the Flintstones: Mr B

Just a truly enjoyable post here….

walkercynthia's avatarmaking peace with the wrong side of 40

Sunshine and Mr B have been friends since they were both just kids, back in 1982 or 83. I dont know how on earth they’ve put up with each other for so long, as they are both madly irritating people with oversized personalities. I pick on them a lot, mostly because they’re not here to defend themselves; really, they’re both great people to know and love, and I’m grateful to have them both as part of my life.

Mr B is quite the character. In his life, he has lived so many lifetimes that it’s hard to keep track of all of his incarnations. He’s been in the military, a paint contractor, an evaporative solar cooling system installer, a pilot, a mortician, a caterer, a stone restorer (the guy who fixes those annoying chips and cracks in the marble in hotel lobby floors and residential countertops and shit), and I…

Om Shreem Mahalakshmiyei Namaha

Fiery K. Tarot's avatarThe Spinsta Life

Okay so I start a mix of goddess chants on YouTube for my cleaning pleasure today. And eventually this video comes up and starts playing:

I use Hindu mantras from time to time; Om Asato Ma Sadgamayais my favorite because it helps with depression/anxiety. I use Om Shreem Hreem Saraswatyai Namaha  got turned to a lot when I was still taking college classes. But I had never seen this one before so I looked it up to see what it was about – I missed the big fat “lakshmiyei” smack in the middle of it so was surprised to see it was one of Laksmi’s. AwakeningState.com was the first website I checked out. And of course I found that it was a mantra to Lakshmi for prosperity and abundance. Which is what I have been focused on – it’s my top goal to achieve this year. So…

A letter to my rock-bottom

“Rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.”
– J.K. Rowling

(taken from OJ’s Prides’ “We Strive to Thrive in Life” post

kuthucomma's avatarkuthu comma

Dear rock-bottom,

You have been taunting me for the past few years. You are using all your dirty tricks upon me. You hit me in my face and you pull apart my life like no one ever did. You just wanted to broke me financially,mentally, spiritually and socially. You hit me hard in all of my weakest places. You gripped your vices on me , you tried to take away my happiness, my dreams and my hopes.

I know why you are so merciless to everyone. Because people curse you, hate you and they wanted to drive you away. So you taunt them more, you just want to break everyone ,hit them hard.

Somehow , you broke me technically,but not completely. You know why?

Because I choose to embrace you,no matter how vicious you are I still like you🤗. And I accepted my rock bottom as the blank slate where…

HEARTBEAT OF THE WORLD

Pretty amazing poem.

Man of many thoughts's avatarkeithgarrettpoetry

HEARTBEAT OF THE WORLD

From within, the earth rumbles, there’s heated liquid like blood,

Beating as a heart beats, energy, and life, power inside a complicated world.

Rise to the surface, thoughts, and wisdom, to learn becomes the brain not seen,

The flowing wind and air stand to be the breath, lungs of the land.

The moon that rests beyond the sky, the stars and planets that watch up high,

The eyes of the world could only be our creator god invisible to our sight.

Is it sadness in the world or tears of joy that make the sky cry,

A sacrifice as the water drops fall sustaining life and keeping beauty in sight.

Everything hears everything, ears of the land are everywhere,

The world lives as we live, take for granted and many things can do us in.

Keith Garrett

Naga the Blog & the Hybrid Demigod

6/29/18 from Was Penre’s 5th Level of Learning:

“Then, let us not forget to mention the Vedic Underworld, or the Netherworld, which is the “planetary system” where the Nagas live.

The “Nagas,” who we shall discuss more later, are often compared with “snakes,” and are interdimensional beings, living in the Underworld, in the Vedas called Bila-Svarga. Interestingly enough, the Veda texts mention that the Nagas can travel through solid matter—something we hear a lot about from modern UFO abductees. These beings serve the Masters of the Netherworld, which in the Babylonian texts are known as En.ki (later Marduk) and Ereškigal. The Nagas are also known to live in parallel realities on the surface of the Earth, which means that they exist all around us, but on a wavelength just outside the third dimensional (3-D) reality.

The place where many of them dwell is also called the Subterranean Heaven, located to the south of the Ecliptic.”

The Naga here in WordPress Land, is a really creative and unique blog produced  by Elancharan ( இளஞ்சேரன் ). His About Page is what made me go look up what the Naga are. His blog is fascinating in and of itself, some chilling but necessary Truth/Poetry in it.

from: https://thetorah.com/what-is-the-biblical-flying-serpent/

 

Encyclopedia Britannica says this about the shape-shifting Naga itself:

The Naga

(Sanskrit: “serpent”) in HinduismBuddhism, and Jainism, a member of a class of mythical semi divine beings, half human and half cobra. They are a strong, handsome species who can assume either wholly human or wholly serpentine form and are potentially dangerous but often beneficial to humans. They live in an underground kingdom called Naga-loka, or Patala-loka, which is filled with resplendent palaces, beautifully ornamented with precious gems.

(Sure sounds like Reptilian to me.

Though I don’t know about all this) :

The creator deity Brahma relegated the nagas to the nether regions when they became too populous on earth and commanded them to bite only the truly evil or those destined to die prematurely.

“I’ve never heard that information anywhere else, and it smacks of actual fanciful myth rather than Earth history. I could be wrong though, and if anyone else has information they feel to be correct, feel free to post it in the comments! I will add it to this post if I can.”

They are also associated with waters—rivers, lakes, seas, and wells—and are guardians of treasure.

(Which would match up with “dragon” lore.)

For one take on the Reptilian race and history, check out the Penre Papers. Reptilian information scattered throughout them. I’d read the 5th first, since it is the most recent and he corrects some earlier information in that one. But the 1st  is very good for a start also. Below is an audio transcript to one of the parts of his Papers. 


(For an interesting encounter had by Wes, see this) : 
Reptilian Encounter.  

Certified Psychic/Medium Cari Fisher received the impression that they are like leeches, and to be avoided. But I have also found positive views on them as well, though I cannot speak to their validity. Wes Penre has done extensive research, and I stand behind his findings for the most part. But here are some of the positive items I found:

I will say that I had one experience with a reptilian and it was a polite one. I place a great deal of importance on any information Cari gets, but I do withhold any final opinion, as I have just not done enough research myself or had enough face to face contact with them to be able to say anything authoritatively. Here is the rest of the Britannica entry:

Three notable nagas are Shesha (or Ananta), who in the Hindu myth of creation supports Narayana (Vishnu) as he lies on the cosmic ocean and on whom the created world rests; Vasuki, who was used as a churning rope to churn the cosmic ocean of milk; and Takshaka, the tribal chief of the snakes. In modern Hinduism the birth of the serpents is celebrated on Naga-panchami in the month of Shravana (July–August).

Ananta is awfully similar to Inanna in sound and spelling. Would be interesting to look into Gerald Clark’s Genealogy Table that he compiled from years of his own extensive research. I’d be interested to see if he has the name “Ananta” correlated with that of Inanna.

The female nagas (naginis or nagis) are serpent princesses of striking beauty. The dynasties of Manipur in northeastern India, the Pallavas in southern India, and the ruling family of Funan (ancient Indochina) each claimed an origin in the union of a human being and a nagi.

That also correlates with the history of the “gods” and some of them taking up with earth human women, creating a hybrid of their personal bloodline.

In Buddhism, nagas are often represented as door guardians or, as in Tibet, as minor deities. The naga king Muchalinda, who sheltered the Buddha from rain for seven days while he was deep in meditation, is beautifully depicted in the 9th–13th century Mon-Khmer Buddhas of what are now Thailand and Cambodia.

In Jainism the Tirthankara (saviour) Parshvanatha is always shown with a canopy of naga hoods above his head.

 

 

In art, nagas are represented in a fully zoomorphic form, as hooded cobras having one to seven or more heads; as human beings with a many-hooded snake canopy over their heads; or as half human, with the lower part of the body below the navel coiled like a snake and a canopy of hoods over the heads. Often they are shown in postures of adoration, as one of the major gods or heroes is shown accomplishing some miraculous feat before their eyes. (Propaganda much? lol)
