'free will and all that shit'
werd.
you free to act like a twint, he free to call your twunt.
Yeah that's cool Gambit, and i'm free to explain myself aswell. I just thought that Illmatic seemed to be getting a bit overly wound up by what i post.
'chill the fuck out man'/'you seem like a pretty wound up person'
only to one who's so
Yeah i got wound up, Illmatic got wound up, no biggie.
zany!
Yeah.
Going back to my post above, the most relevant part is the in it is the "critcal thinking" and "orignal thought" - that's what I object to in the post we're discussing. I like Barbelith a lot - I'm probably far too attached to it, if the truth be known - and the stuff I like best on here, why I read it, what really inspires me, is that which is new and original and has something fresh to say. I'm talking about the best posts in Temple, Headshop - stuff of a high standard of reasoning, things that are well thought out, erudite witty - all of which you you see all over the board. I apologise for the abuse but I don't see that in your post.
That's cool man, i agree, but in the conversation i like to act daft from time to time, or most of the time, but if i do i try and save it for a thread i make myself. What i'd do in your position is just think something like 'Oh he's being a twat again, big suprise' and not get wound up about it or post in the thread. Every site has a few people who post nonsense, but like i said, i have a wierd sense of humour. If i'm aiming for a high standard of reasoning i go to another forum, like Magick. Ok, i came in there like a total nutter a while back when i joined, but it's my favourite forum, and that's where i try and post when i have something to say. I'm not really into Head shop or any of the other forums, maybe i should broaden my scope of interest or something, but i'm going off the point now.
You won't really find what your looking for if you read my stuff in the Conversation forum, but i hope you can in my posts elsewhere.
I think if you see links between the Invisibles, Buddhism, the Matrix etc - there may be potentially room for a thread discussing, drawing out ideas and similarites. Just slapping together a load of images and quotes with no explanation is a bit boring.
I'm obsessed with all three, and when i read through the post i did with the images, i like it. I wanted to group together images and quotes, without anything said by myself, just to see what it looked like for something to do. It was actually to mix Hod and Netzach energies and obviously, it's a bit naff and i can see how it would wind you up, but i wanted to post it to show a group of common similarities that these things have between themselves and William Gibson's fiction, Jake Horsleys Matrix Warrior, etc. I haven't discussed MW or The Matrix in the Temple because i saw the thread about Jake's book and also i thought that a lot of you people thought the Matrix was a bit old or naff, and didn't want to post about them, but i might do that in the near future. I'm a Mod at a Matrix forum and Admin at the Yahoo group that Jake set up to discuss his book, so i'm not short of ideas in that area.
The last thing i wanted to do was to try and explain it, and i'm ok because i haven't really. And there's no way i would of even thought about posting something like that in the Temple, because i try not to piss around in there any more.
I concede it's very unfair of me to wail on you for a conversation thread - it's an open area after all. But I think this is what - the third time? - you 've posted something rahter random, and it just starts to get a bit wearing. Can you not see how I - and a number of other posters - get frustrated when someone posts going "yeah, Ganesh! Kkkkkooollll ,man!!"? Why not do some reading, research or even practice related to Ganesh - y'know reallly think about it, engage with the subject - and post your results in a way that's going to encourage dialogue and discussion. Try and add something to the board which other people are going to find interesting and useful to read. At my most charitable, I find the thead under discussion, simply a list of things which inspire you. At it's worst, it's psychedelic spam. Again, apologise for the abuse, but that's the effect these continual random posts have on me.
That's ok man, apology accepted. The daft Ganesha post was me being a gonk after being up all night (one of those where you click on post and instantly wonder why you decided to), yes i agree that was sad, but so is a lot of other stuff i post in there. I don't really think out what i'm posting in Convo because i don't feel the need to, and don't really feel like i have any ego to defend because i have a pretty daft nature quite often and don't take myself seriously in there, so i mess around.
As for getting into research and practise related to Ganesha, i'm focusing on making my memory better with meditation at the moment, but if i do that in the future, of course, i'll probably post what i came out of it with in the Temple.
Anyway, i'm good, don't think i'm gonna hold a grudge or anything sad like that but i just thought i'd explain a bit to help you understand where i'm coming from.
Ha, i'm starting to notice a pattern, we talk with each other fine in the Temple, but we clash elsewhere, maybe we're just different types of person and i'm wondering how i'd get on with you if i came to one of the Barb meet-ups. You'd probably be gobsmacked at how quiet i am in real life. (well, except when i'm pissed, of course.) |
