Enough of this take your meds, got meds bullshit.
Even if someone has or doesn't have mental illness, talk like that is flat out disrespectful.
When you strip away all the niceties it's just another form of discrimination and a sign of a closed mind that's in serious need of awareness.

Besides...the way meds work these days one could be taking them and still have unpredictable reactions....and comments like that could be enough to drive someone from getting the help they need. They'll say fuck it and quit trying and the problems get worse.

So...are you part of the solution...or are you adding to the problem? Think about it.

[dana]

Medication?

kinda gets some folks up in arms it seems.
often it's just another bandaid.....

or you can let the beast out....

and be done?

Helitack was talking about our manic posting tendencies of course. And ... certainly I don't have that problem!!

Then again, maybe I should go take another look at the Eplaya Addiction thread??

same as the 12 step thread?


when are some of these verbal contestants gonna joust in the thunderdome? Ha? When? Thing about the Greeks is they invented the concept of educating the body as well as the mind. (most universities and colleges still offer this to some extant, yet like many things today, it's been polluted)
Zeus is an interesting intellect and deserves respect.

[Apollonaris Zeus]

Hey don't worry about those two. They know nothing.

Do a search on helitack and notice his mentality of a three word sentences.

Poor Joel. Supported the bush admin. He's been wrong so many times.

Joel, You have blood on your hands for supporting the both bush and the Iraq christian crusaders war. You do deserve the Hell that christianity has promised killers like you.

These two are the stuped fucking morons I'm taling about that have brought us to the brink of extinction both religiously, socially and scientifically.

Mankinds epitaph:

So close to the light they came,
only to suscumb to the children of darkness!

So if you don't want to end up like them in hell:

If you have belong to a christian association that believes in Hell and all that bullshit. Take your any form of documents of association and place somewhere on the man. Let it burn.

Afterwards takes somepart of you like a hair. Throw it in the burning ashes.

Make a proclamation to something such as this:

"My soul is mine and mine alone."

"For no entity mortal or immortal may own or control it."

"All past agreements both verbal and written are all annulted by these action."

"My soul is mine and only mine for all Eternity!"

"I am FREE!"

Yep - your thread, I believe.

Take it to the Thunderdome? (Reminds me of my mother when she would get sick of listening to us kids bickering - "Take it outside!". Course I was the little guy, most likely to get totally pummeled!) Still a thunderdome match would make more sense than some of the Eplaya goofin.

And yeah, I have a fascination with the Greeks. I was impressed with the ideas Zeus was posting from the Hellenists. But, this is my sense. The really good stuff is part of a thread of wisdom that extends past the Greeks, past the Egyptians...... to ? the land of mystery and myth. (Not obtainable through historical reference, but still obtainable - not provable.)

[helitack]

I resemble that remark. Uh oh. Four words.

past the greeks?

When you get there will you know that you are there?

Not many do because they never really knew what they were looking for to begin with.

is it the mystery of life?

why are we here?

Do gods really exist?

Guidence?

power?

or a good story of myth?

As you can see from the response of just two people- two fuck ups and now you back off, Dana.

My question is "why is this world in repeating cycle?"

Three dominate religion caught in cycle that they can't get out of and each one waiting for the mythical messiah to come and take them out of that cycle. A cycle they and only they have created.

It's people like you and me that question them. They open their book and look for an answer. The answer might be there, but only in metaphoric meaning. But they can't find because they are too literal of mind to interpret it. or it was never meant for them to know because their leaders never wanted them to know. Its easier to control a flock of sheep then it is a group of people asking for the truth.

What are you a sheep or a man

So much for that.

Dana, When I look at a religion, the most important part of that research is how did these people get along with religion other then theirs.

What kind of higher society did they produce?

Democracy? Monarchy?

I could go but enough said for now.

maybe I should stick to three or four words, but why when you can create friction, fire comes from friction and fire is transidental which makes one think and question instead of someone telling you what you should do instead of making suggestions for to find your own way to Mount Olympus.

PS- my mother has always told us that Jesus had a wife and kids.

and I asked her, but why is she a whore and then
I knew why she never when to church.

My question is "why is this world in repeating cycle?"
.

All those.

Me - back off?? Hardly! But I do often question the impact and worth of our Eplaya conversations. Cynicism is a disease to which I am all too susceptible. Things tend to drift to the lowest common denominator. Most people never take the time to find out why someone would have a different opinion. Assumptions are taken as fact, etc. The dance becomes awkward and ugly.

The repeating cycle? (or as the individual might experience it - a spiral) Oppurtunity of course! You could also think of it as "experiments" that take thousands of years to complete. Sometimes experiments are repeated, with new variations.[/quote="dana"]

So you do have more of mind then the simple sentences of which you post and what else I had found on searches on you: even that you, and Joel, might be one and the same. Maybe still?

I been privy to this information for quite some time. Much of it I write off and still do due to the conspiracy theory and biased theology attitudes of the authors. But it does exist. All three main religion, Judism, Christianity and Islam, practice these methods to some extent and many cults as well: ie. Krisna, Sung Young Moon, Church Universal Triumphant, Buddeists, you can go on. Their motivation is all the same- control and reduce free thinking.

I believe at one point that I was even given truth serum under a informal interrogation circumstances will remain secret at this point. The left believe the misinformation I had given them: I am a soldier of Sammy, The Bull, Gravano. I would only take a few days before they knew I was fucking with them. My intensive experiences with drugs have given me an extreme tolarance for the effects of drugs. Others have tried I know what is real and un-real. What they gave was really shit for a high anyway but the weed was the best.

Not to be confused with the effects of eastern and mystical influences on later greeks: I speak I'm refering to the pure Gods.

Me - back off??

Most people never take the time to find out why someone would have a different opinion.

The repeating cycle?

Good, don't ever back off. The cynics are very much alive here and everyone's point of view, irregardless if right or wrong are valid to the person making them. Some cycles spiral or not are still much the same, but the cycle of which I speak of goes on because of the circumstances involved.

You wish to understand the processes of which why we are here. I am very sorry to say that it all have been perverted by our wonderful material world.

The reason you are here simply put is to go to Burning Man.

Does that stun you. perhaps its a little too simple.

We come here because on the other side we are pure spiritual beings. We don't have a physical body. We do have assets that intangible to our existance here though. There was are of one being or a universal collectiveness. Still kind an individual energy. No loneliness, knowledge of all things perhaps. there is no right or wrong, because all is right and good: Holy! But there limitations, you can't touch one another, take a deep breath, taste an apple, have an orgasm.

So that is why we come here. It makes us balanced as eternal beings.

The problem of the material world is the evil that exist here and only here. No I'm talking about the devil or infact an entity for there is none. It is manifestation of evil that is the material world presents us with- power. Granted, a world such as this has to start from somewhere. The life here must develop so that our spirits must have a host body to inhabit and they just aren't created with a stroke of the hand or a wave of a wand. It must evolve from something and that takes time and patience.

But, sometimes things get perverted as I said before. Sometimes you can't change the inertia or momentum much like I spoke of methane hydrates and global warming. The same happens on a spiritual level. This world is becoming more a desert of diversity much like a black hole sucking everything back into it consuming all.

Greek life before eastern influences, wasn't perfect but is was in my opinion the finest in exploring the spiritual connection with that world. In any case it was and should always be evolving spiritually.

The proof is evident of their success.

As far was this world. We hellenics aren't giving up not till the very end of human life. the answer to destroying the beast was given to us long ago.

They lie in the Metaphors I spoke of earlier.

"The beast has one body and many heads"

"There is one element that is its greatist venom"

"It's greatist power is it's greatist fear"

what myth do I speak of, Dana?

If you can't decipher it, I can't tell you!

The repeating cycle? (or as the individual might experience it - a spiral) Oppurtunity of course! You could also think of it as "experiments" that take thousands of years to complete. Sometimes experiments are repeated, with new variations.

I was thinking about the current situation in the middle east with Israel and palestinians, the islamic terrorists in India, the christian crusade in Iraq, after thinking about it as a circle I've come to this conclusion:

Yes you are right, Dana. it is a spiral but a very compressed one that rises very little.

each one caused and directed by its dominate evangelical religion. the root of evil in this world.

On another note: had a very serious talk with my sister still in the catholic church- see is starting to look past their seductive facade.

The root of evil (a phrase I don't use) still lies more in the individual, who fails to take responsibility and is willing to give up their power, discernment and spirituality to a religion.

The seductiveness of the Catholic church??? Hey who doesn't like those cool threads they wear and those phallic pope hats?!!

Only in his dominion and as long as he allows me and others to worship the Gods we want.

Mongolia went off this past weekend with celebrations of Kubla Khan's conquests.

They were portraying him as a world leader and promoter of religous freedom.

Question this world. Wars, Wars Wars!

Every major war and terrorist act all based on religous ideologies of a one god. Even Northern Ireland is again ready to explode!

Soon we'll sing praise to All Powerful and Mighty One God.

Oh listen to the beast with many heads.

A lethal blow has been struck...

The beast groans loudly and lashes out at anything within its reach...

Its first born head strikes blindly attacking the third born head...

It's second born head stands silent glad attention has been diverted...

two other heads wait as well in the darkness...

The beasts call for human sacrifices for blood must pour across infertile grounds above of which it was born...

New York, August 2nd- Heaven and Hell have announced that they have been incorporated since the beginning of Christianity 330AD. We have always known that we couldn’t have existed without the other. So it was a perfect match made in Hell, erh, or Heaven depending on your point of view. Jesus made a reference to point out to some of their recent technological patent trading of the Devil’s standard of “Rock N Roll”. He said, “yes it’s true about sharing trade secrets, “Rock N Roll” was the Devil’s music, but now its mine too to subvert human children into our cult as well! It worked damn well for good ole Lu' and its working miracles for me!”

Remember people if you accept Jesus, you are accepting the Lucifer as well. They're a team.

And they always win when you lose!

AIIZ

[Apollonaris Zeus]

Accept Jesus and you accept Hell.



Can't get one without the other: Its a package deal folks!

[Apollonaris Zeus]

Some people such as SED believe that todays pagans practise human sacrifice. I know of none that do, but I do know that some Christian Cults do practise it such as voodoo and some black magic groups.

but there some legacies of human sacrifice, cannibalism, castration and vampirism in modern judaism and christianity.

Circumcision: is a legacy of castration: older then Judaism coming from a female deity religion perhaps Astraste or even a much older matriarchal God. One thing for sure, a cut penis can't enter the virgina very easily and I'm sure that works out very well for a patriarch society such as the jews since sex is considered a bad thing anyway.

Cannibalism and vampirism: Christianity practice of the eucharist: the body of christ representative as a wafer of bread and the drinking of wine are both symbolic of human sacrifice and assuming the powers of the individual or opposing soldiers after a battle in war.

Arithimaea (sic) is to believe to have collected jesus's blood as it dripped from the cross and into the holy grail as well as in the story of the last supper, "drink of this wine for it is of my blood". It is believed that these two practises are not from early christianity nor judaism but from eastern origins brought back with roman soldiers and permanently added around the council of nicea. It deffinately has origins in eastern and northern european cultures.

As I said once before, in my religion of the Olympians that was what the story of Zeus dethroning his father cronus, who ate his children was all about.

We don't sacrifice humans, only food before we eat it!

Time to go and drink the blood of christ: hmmm, lets see a 2004 Justin Cab from paso robles would do fine tonight.

Drink and be Mary everyone!

The Rice Crispies talkin to ya again? You should know better than to listen to them.

I sent my sister, a catholic, to the Christian Persecution of the Hellenes web site and she was amazed to find out that the good'ol Cristjens practiced genocide against us. She like many ignorant people thought that we had just faded away because everyone embraced Jesus and his message of Peace and Love. But it was really about slaughter, killing and blood. She slowly learning that they sell you on the Jesus loves you bullcrap, but you really end up with Hell.

So to many of you ignorant people we didn't fade away, Jesus is really about war, death and the black hole of the religion of the desert god:

Remember, all the people warring at this time have all desented from the God of Abraham, mel was only 1/3 right its really the Jews, cristjens and the muslims that are the cause of all the wars happening. I think about the poor hindus and their war with the muslims.

When we freed the jews from the syrians, we help them to rebuild the temple in Babelon. When we asked for their help, they refused. So here it goes:

*CHRISTIAN PERSECUTIONS AGAINST THE HELLENES*

*(Summarized from Vlasis Rassias' book "DEMOLISH THEM..", published in Greek, Athens 1994, Diipetes Editions, ISBN 960-85311-3-6)

The non-Christians are called "loathsome, heretics, stupid and blind". In another edict Theodosius calls "insane" those that do not believe to the Christian God and outlaws all disagreements with the Church dogmas. Ambrosius, bishop of Milan, starts destroying all the pagan Temples of his area. The Christian priests lead the hungry mob against the Temple of Goddess Demeter in Eleusis and try to lynch the hierophants Nestorius and Priskus. The 95 years old hierophant Nestorius ends the Eleusinian Mysteries and announces the predominance of mental darkness over the human race.

Among others they destroy the Temple of Edessa, the Cabeireion of Imbros, the Temple of Zeus in Apamea, the Temple of Apollo in Dydima and all the Temples of Palmyra. Thousands of innocent Gentiles from all sides of the Empire suffer martyrdom in the notorious death camps of Skythopolis.
*386 * Emperor Theodosius outlaws (16th June) the care of the sacked pagan Temples.

*389 to 390 * All non-Christian date-methods are outlawed. Hordes of fanatic hermits from the desert flood the cities of the Middle East and Egypt and destroy statues, altars, Libraries and pagan Temples and lynch the Gentiles. Theophilus, Patriarch of Alexandria, starts heavy persecutions against the Gentiles, turns the Temple of Dionysos into a Christian church, burns down the Mithraeum of the city, destroys the Temple of Zeus and burlesque the pagan priests before they are killed by stoning. The Christian mob profanes the cult images.
*391 * On 24th February, a new edict of Theodosius prohibits not only visits to pagan Temples but also looking at the vandalised statues. New heavy persecutions all around the Empire. In Alexandria, Egypt, the Gentiles, led by the philosopher Olympius, revolt and after some street fights they lock themselves inside the fortified Temple of God Serapis (The Serapeion). After a violent siege, the Christians take over the building, demolish it, burn its famous Library and profane the cult images. *392 * On 8th November, the Emperor Theodosius outlaws all the non-Christian rituals and names them "superstitions of the Gentiles" (gentilicia superstitio).

The local Mysteries of Goddess Aphrodite are ended. Theodosius' edict declares: "the ones that won't obey pater Epiphanius have no right to keep living in that island". The Gentiles revolt against the Emperor and the Church in Petra, Aeropolis, Rafia, Gaza, Baalbek and other cities of the Middle East.
*393 * The Pythian Games, the Aktia Games and the Olympic Games are outlawed as part of the Hellenic "idolatry". The Christians sack the Temples of Olympia.
*395 * Two new edicts (22nd July and 7th August) cause new persecutions against the Gentiles. Rufinus, the eunuch Prime Minister of Emperor Flavius Arcadius directs the hordes of the baptised Goths (led by Alaric) to the country of the Hellenes. Encouraged by Christian monks the barbarians sack and burn many cities (Dion, Delphi, Megara, Corinth, Pheneos, Argos, Nemea, Lycosoura, Sparta, Messene, Phigaleia, Olympia, etc.), slaughter or enslave innumerable Gentile Hellenes and burn down all the Temples. Among others, they burn down the Eleusinian Sanctuary and burn alive all its priests (including the hierophant of Mithras Hilarius).
*396 * On 7th December, a new edict by Emperor Arcadius orders that paganism be treated as high treason. Imprisonment of the few remaining pagan priests and hierophants.
*397 * "Demolish them!". Emperor Flavius Arcadius orders all the still standing pagan Temples to be demolished.

*401 * The Christian mob of Carthage lynches Gentiles and destroys Temples and "idols". In Gaza too, the local bishop (also a.."Saint") Porphyrius sends his followers to lynch Gentiles and to demolish the remaining 9 still active Temples of the city. The 15th Council of Chalkedon orders all the Christians that still keep good relations with their gentile relatives to be excommunicated (even after their death).
*405 * John Chrysostom sends hordes of gray dressed monks armed with clubs and iron bars to destroy the "idols" in all the cities of Palestine.
*406 * John Chrysostom collects funds from rich Christian women to financially support the demolition of the Hellenic Temples. In Ephessus he orders the destruction of the famous Temple of Goddess Artemis. In Salamis, Cyprus, the "Saints" Epiphanius and Eutychius continue the persecutions of the Gentiles and the destruction of their Temples and sanctuaries.
*407 * A new edict outlaws once more all the non-Christian acts of worship.
*408 * The Emperor of the Western Empire Honorius and the Emperor of the Eastern Empire Arcadius order together all the sculptures of the pagan Temples to be either destroyed or to be taken away. Private ownership of pagan sculpture is also outlawed. The local bishops lead new heavy persecutions against the Gentiles and new book burning. The judges that have pity for the Gentiles are also persecuted. "Saint" Augustine massacres hundreds of protesting pagans in Calama, Algeria.
*409 * Once again, an edict orders Astrology and all methods of Divination to be punished by death.
*415 * Unofficial beginning of the Dark Ages! In Alexandria, Egypt, the Christian mob, urged by the bishop Cyrillus, attacks a few days before the Judaeo-Christian Pascha (Easter) and cuts to pieces the famous and beautiful philosopher Hypatia.

On 30th August, new persecutions start against all the pagan priests of North Africa who end their lives either crucified or burned alive.
*416 * The inquisitor Hypatius, alias "The Sword of God", exterminates the last Gentiles of Bithynia. In Constantinople (7th December) all non-Christian army officers, public employees and judges are dismissed.
*423 * Emperor Theodosius B declares (8th June) that the Religion of the Gentiles is nothing more than "demon worship" and orders all those who persist in practicing it to be punished by imprisonment and torture. *429 * The Temple of Goddess Athena (Parthenon) on the Acropolis of Athens is sacked. The Athenian pagans are persecuted.
*435 * On 14th November, a new edict by Emperor Theodosius B orders the death penalty for all "heretics" and Gentiles of the Empire. Only Judaism is considered a legal non-Christian Religion.
