5·10 months agoIt is of course a well-known fact that in heathen times, that is to say, until our present day, every king of Buganda had a mandwa appointed after his death to represent him, who was from time to time possessed by the dead king. When the king’s spirit came upon him, it was said ‘the king took him by the head’. The mandwa reproduced as far as possible the appearance and the bearing, and even the language of the dead king. If I understand the system aright, when a mandwa died, the spirit of the dead king descended upon another member of the same clan, who accordingly succeeded to office.
If only things were settled! Not yet
The objective and external science exists openly, and delivers one kind of knowledge, and the subjective science, concealed, delivers another.
By chance, I found out that in a secret laboratory in the 1920s Gleb Bokii—the chief Bolshevik cryptographer, master of codes, ciphers, electronic surveillance—and his friend Alexander Barchenko, an occult writer from St. Petersburg, explored Kabala, Sufi wisdom, Kalachakra, shamanism, and other esoteric traditions, simultaneously preparing an expedition to Tibet to search for the legendary Shambhala. A natural question arose: what could the Bolshevik commissar have to do with all this? The story of the life and death of the Bolshevik secret police officer Bokii and his friend intrigued me…
It has been said that humanity must abandon luxury. Not without reason have people paid particular attention to this concept. Nothing can replace luxury. It is neither beauty, nor spirituality, nor improvement, nor creation, nor compassion, nor kindness — no good concept can replace it. Luxury represents the destruction of resources and opportunities. Luxury represents decay, for any construction beyond the divine rhythm can only represent decay. One can see clearly enough that mundane luxury has already been shaken, yet one should still seek concordant cooperation in order to cure the infection of luxury. Selfishness will object that luxury is an earned abundance. People will also say that luxury is regal — but this would be slander. Luxury has always been a sign of decline and darkening of the spirit. The chains of luxury are just as terrible for the Subtle World, where what is required is advancement and constant improvement of thought. Any encumbrance will block the path to the next Gate.

An X5.0 flare (R3 Strong Radio Blackout) from NOAA/SWPC Region 3536 occurred at 31/2155 UTC. Today’s flare came from the same region that produced an X2.8 flare on December 14, 2023. It is also the largest flare to be observed since September 10, 2017 when an X8.2 flare occurred.

As our technological society exhausts our resources and limps to a halt, we will revert back to an age of magic. The world of tomorrow will not be a world of wall-to-wall television and a spaceship in every garage. It will be a world of oracles.
i will never forgive the talkies for killing vaudeville
the relative ignorance and moral weakness of those inferior in love, will, and wisdom to ourselves should engender our compassion, and not hatred
Vague recipe for a 12" cast iron pan size portion:
- Pre-heat oven to 350F. Dice an onion, slice up 5ish stalks of celery, and slice/dice garlic and mushrooms to taste.
- Pre-heat the cast iron pan on high, coat in cooking oil, I used sunflower; add in two tablespoons each of rosemary, thyme, and sage. Sautee onion / celery / mushrooms for ten minutes.
- Add in two cups of oats, two cups of water or broth, and mix.
- Bake in the pan for 30 minutes.
The oats make a wonderful replacement for stuffing.
started smoking weed again, and immediately found some really good ethio-jazz and made a delicious breaded stuffing with caramelized onions and mushrooms baked in a savory oat base… it’s so easy to get lost in asceticism or platonism sometimes and lose track of normal enjoyment. good to be back
There’s going to be a part of the bit where I resurrect the posts.
