Like crossroads? I hear you can make a 'deal' there, due mythological belief.

What is the 'Devil' to you Daniel?
 Quoting: Seer777


the 'Devil' ?
 Quoting: rekameohsnad


Exactly.
 Quoting: Seer777


this idea of 'only one' of yours is quite limiting
 Quoting: rekameohsnad


Wha? I am asking your thoughts on your own words. Which I bolded.

You presume to know what I think of the 'Devil'? As I have mentioned as such many times.

There is no 'scapegoat'.

Each chooses for oneself.



Who is Samuel? If I am so bold as to start throwing out names.

What did I mentioned the other day regarding 'Chaos'?

What has occurred since? Who's paying attention?

'The' Devil is quantized within nicotine.... in my view.... any poison is also a therapy at the correct dose.

The poison itself is a test. Of Will, and of ability to reinvent oneself.

Phoenixicide, really.

well right away then one assumes you consider the notion of 'the Devil' and blame to be one in the same....interesting


I guess from the perspective of 'blame' then one has to consider the idea of living vs dead

Are the living obligated to the dead ? Is the dead obligated to the living ?


'the Devil'....wow, what an idea

hi

sarira is a generic term referring to "Buddhist relics", although in common usage it usually refers to pearl or crystal-like bead-shaped objects that are purportedly found among the cremated ashes of Buddhist spiritual masters. Sarira are held to emanate or incite 'blessings' and 'grace' (Sanskrit: adhishthana) within the mindstream and experience of those connected to them. Sarira are also believed to ward off evil in the Himalayan Buddhist tradition.
 Quoting: [link to en.wikipedia.org]


If the above are real, would they be something akin to plasma crystals?

Re: X Marks the Spot
Maori oral traditions clearly state that, upon arrival in New Zealand, Maori found that there was a large, well-established population already living in the country. The inhabitants were described as having skin complexion that was white to light-ruddy, with eye colours from blue to green to darker tints. Their hair colours ranged from white and dull-golden, with red being predominant in the general population. There were also shades of brown through to black and braided samples of this multi-coloured hair (taken from the Waitakere rock shelters) used to be on display at Auckland War Memorial Museum.

In physical stature most groups were about the same height as Maori, but there was one widely dispersed group described as being considerably smaller (white pygmies) with fine, childlike features, white-golden hair and large watery blue-green eyes. Around Port Waikato and distributed up the West Coast beyond the Hokianga Harbour to Mitimiti was yet another group who were very tall, achieving an average adult height of around 7-feet. Since early colonial times the skeletal remains of these people have been continuously observed as trussed, sitting position burials in coastal sand dunes or laid-out horizontally in caves..................

Re: X Marks the Spot
This juniper tree in my yard fell all the way over from the ice storm. scratching
It is somewhat significant because the lady that lived here before was native who planted it.
 Quoting: Fancypantz


well we did get a bit "emotional" with the tribes and their expanding their knowing of old ways
luckily for everyone you and w/f have

well what do we know
we know the father of the "object held dear" was killed by lightening
this prompted "the object held dear" under "the sign of the instrument"that was used to build ancient structures, to be killed by the hand of man followed by his mother thus, no more of his type to be born

so a question to ask is
was the sign of the lighting killing the father the sign some within the tribes took to know the son must be the wrong sign and his mother also?

we have discovered that "the sign of the instrument to align" (quartered circle) is incorporated into the sign of the medicine wheel by many tribes

Medicine wheels are sited throughout northern United States and southern Canada, specifically South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Alberta and Saskatchewan. The majority of the circa 70 documented architectural hoops still extant are evident within Alberta, Canada.

One of the prototypical medicine wheels remains within the Bighorn National Forest in Big Horn County, Wyoming. This 75-foot-diameter (23 m) wheel has 28 spokes, and is part of a vast set of old Native American sites that document 7,000 years of their history in that area.

Medicine wheels were commonly used by North American natives such as the Ojibwa and prehistoric ancestors of the Assiniboine.

Some locations of medicine wheels are found in the prairie regions of North America, such as Manitoba, Wyoming, Montana, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Larger astronomical and ceremonial petroforms and Hopewell mound building can also be found in other places of North America.
 Quoting: observation

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

so a question to ask is
what are the tribes looking for ?
the white buffalo has provided the sign to look at electricity by the actions of men following his father being killed by electricity

the question to ask is
were the people right to read the sign of electricity killing the father as a sign to stop looking at the son for a sign ?
or is the sign the electricity killing the father with another meaning?

are the tribes being told the killing of the father by electricity is a good sign if understood?

and is the killing of the son and mother, by our own hand, the sign that tells, if we miss the first sign, the dad, we kill "that which is dear to us", the new generation and our means to provide new generations, the son and the mother?

if that is the sign meaning the question is:

how can electricity that kills be good?

the answer to that is to be found in our new information of our past 100 years or so

so the question is:

can the tribes accept that, new to them information, will provide the answer to why, that which kills, provides and maintains life, when understood?

if they accept that, they will enter into the domain of the great mystery

The Great Spirit, also called Wakan Tanka among the Sioux, the Creator or the Great Maker in English, and Gitchi Manitou in Algonquian, is a conception of a supreme being prevalent among some Native American and First Nations cultures. According to Lakotah activist Russell Means a better translation of Wakan Tanka is the Great Mystery.
 Quoting: observation

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

the question may be.

who if any amongst them desire to understand the great mystery for the betterment of humankind ?

Forgot about that. I don't think the tree can be saved as it is too big to stand it back upright.
There is a weird grimm story about the juniper and this part is interesting:

However, the shamanic initiatory elements within the Grimms' story are unmistakable. The sequence of events may be summed up as: initial death (by beheading, ie dismemberment), the return to the cauldron/womb of transformation (ie the cooking pot), the stripping of the traveller's flesh from his bones and the consumption of that flesh by the traveller's life guide/father, the return of the stripped-down traveller to his ancestors and the world tree, shape-shifting, subsequent re-integration and return to the normal world.

The shamanic pattern is so strong that I am led to question whether the evil stepmother and her eventual death are merely late corruptions to this traditional story, which appears to have been strongly changed by the addition of a stereotypical evil stepmother and heavy-handed Christian morality. In particular, I am tempted to wonder whether this story originally concerned either full-blown shamanic initiation of a young man or, alternatively, puberty and/or initiatory rites for the boy, overseen by both real parents, with the "killed" boy being ceremonially and ritually presented to his ancestors at the ancestral tree. Significantly, it is the sister, acting almost in the role of a priestess, who places the bones beneath the tree, thus initiating the sequence of events which starts the shift back onto the upward and outward path of the spiral. In true World Tree fashion, all of the essential magickal or transformatory elements take place around or beneath the eponymous juniper tree. And of course, the image of the bird as a symbol of shamanic magickal flight has been welldocumented by Paul Devereux(11) amongst others.

An interesting tree :)


Juniper berry was first intended as a medication since juniper berries are a diuretic and were also thought to be an appetite stimulant and a remedy for rheumatism and arthritis. Western American Native Tribes are also reported to have used the juniper berry as an appetite suppressant in times of hunger and/or famine. Currently, the juniper berry is being researched as a possible treatment for diet-controlled diabetes, as it releases insulin from the pancreas (hence alleviating hunger). It is also said to have been used by some tribes as a female contraceptive.
 Quoting:


Juniper berries, including Juniperus phoenicea and Juniperus oxycedrus have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs at multiple sites. J. oxycedrus is not known to grow in Egypt, and neither is Juniperus excelsa, which was found along with J. oxycedrus in the tomb of Tutankhamun.[14] The berries imported into Egypt may have come from Greece; the Greeks record using juniper berries as a medicine long before mentioning their use in food.[15] The Greeks used the berries in many of their Olympics events because of their belief that the berries increased physical stamina in athletes.[16] The Romans used juniper berries as a cheap domestically produced substitute for the expensive black pepper and long pepper imported from India.[4] It was also used as an adulterant, as reported in Pliny the Elder's Natural History: "Pepper is adulterated with juniper berries, which have the property, to a marvellous degree, of assuming the pungency of pepper."[17] Pliny also incorrectly asserted that black pepper grew on trees that were "very similar in appearance to our junipers".
