Jn the Hindu tradition there are 12 senses. And to those I could add indefinitely:
- sense of justice - sense of humour - nose for a story - sense of direction - sense of time - tin ear (inverse) - etc
Same Throughout history there is a reference to imagination. I wanted to anchor it's aspect as most people use rational approach to extinguish the imagination concept

>>>>>It may well be that Egyptians used linen in their ritual aprons for the same reason. Although it is also possible that they were more strict about entry into their mysteries and only permitted candidates that had learned to control their sexual energies<<<<<<
Granted, more so in funeral rites, symbolically also in the eyes) I don't remember if Egyptians used then as aprons, likely. Through research I know Jewish Masters who wear them on their torso.

I would consider myself a planetary practitioner. What made you move away from it? To where?

>You speak of these dark forces. Perhaps we can put names to these entities, or rather somewhere where they are recorded in history.
As we know humans see in a very narrow band of the EM spectrum and therefore do not see much of what exists.
Some of the dark entities are named in human traditions e.g. the Prince of Darkness in his struggles with the Prince of Peace. The labeling of such entities is from the Earth human perspective and does not necessarily reflect the greater reality.
And beyond the entities recorded in native traditions there are much greater beings, both dark and light that do not incarnate in bodies that most Earth humans would recognize. As an analogy consider the concept of Earth Mother. What correspondences are there in the local galaxy?
>ups and downs of society, the benefits and disadvantages. It depends what means most to an individual and their experiences
Is the individual human the primary objective of manifested Existence?

This planet is a rather small entity in a much larger system. How does Earth take up its greater functions?
What responsibilities do Earth humans have in the unfoldment of Purpose in the solar system?

Would you like to tell how you do that?

I would have to base this on my opinion, and say that we are not primary. This can touch on a lot of topics such as the need for globalism, identity, and spirituality, and the source from One
There is the law of attraction, repulsion. Genuine attraction leads to stability
Our experiences register on the heart, and it's impressions on the face.
We take our experience back to one

We cannot/should not alter the solar system. It seems Earth humans need unity before attempting anything greater.

A definition would need to be established. Planetary influences within our solar system Also the love of mother earth
As we know alchemy assigns metals to planets. Rudolph Steiner wrote about research conducted when metals were in liquid form, and their bonds. Under certain planetary alignments the metals would "react" with one another
In another manner mother earth is the incubator. Black hair is prefered
A planetary practitioner also known as a Gardener

>We cannot/should not alter the solar system. And yet someone does. Consider Bode's Law that was used to predict the asteroid belt. www.astro.cornell.edu/academics/courses/astro201/bodes_law.htmThus planetary distances conform quite closely to a mathematical formula. Given the great age of the solar system and the frequency of comets and meteors colliding with planets, it seems that someone has been readjusting planetary orbits to keep them within Bode's Law. Similar arguments apply to our Moon and some of the other moons of the solar system. >It seems Earth humans need unity before attempting anything greater. I think the horse has bolted.

The aprons brought to mind Adam and Eve after eating the fruit, and then covering themselves.

>Secrecy seems to be necessary. Cloaks, to hide oneself from being judged by others. Acts of kindness, and the betterment of humanity needs to be conducted secretly. A subtle wave that can penetrate all negative fields of varying intensities
I understand. People can be so judgemental and fixed in their beliefs. It's difficult sometimes to even share a different point of view, particularly if it's a threat to some established order of control and authority. However I think the world needs widescale development to create better communities where people can grow their own food, shared leisure areas, exercise machines, food and drink, music, art. Architecture that has this communal aspect as a central focus, all within the same area of living. Community of our ancestors has vanished in the past few hundred/thousand years. We have become completely disconnected from nature. Psychedelic plant use has become criminalized in the past hundred years, something that has been a part of our history spanning many species. It's the microcosm and macrocosm, community, society, the world. A more perfect society will create a more perfect individual. I love the idea of a revival of Greek philosophy schools within the communities, where anyone can participate in the sharing of ideas and learning.

I have been in relationships in a warm climate and often we did not bother with clothes in summer.
I suspect that the real problem is that when Adam and Eve saw clothes on the gods then they realized that they were slaves and were ashamed.
As late as the 19th century in the US it was not uncommon for slaves to be scarcely clothed.

>U3A has the potential to do this.
That's interesting thanks for sharing. I have a kind of Utopian idealism about community and architecture that I haven't seen yet in practice. Architecture seems to divide and alienate people, seperating everyone into their own little boxes isolated from each other. I see the potential of shared and communal systems that brings people together into self-sufficient and self-sustainable community, to work together, grow food, star gaze, learn, grow, develop together. I see science as a main focus of employment to better understand self, others, and the world, and to solve all problems and benefit the world.

There were a lot of such communities attempted in the 1960s and 70s. Most did not turn out as well as hoped but that generation is now retiring from employment and renewing its interest in such (retirement?) communities.

I'm thinking a new model for society. Architecture is the key to designing a new type of society. I see apartment blocks that isolate and alienate people. Crime, mental illness, drug and alcohol addiction, people are unhappy, working to feed the unsustainable capitalist economic debt and greed based growth. Something new that provides sustainable self-sufficient balance. Open science, research and development laboratories where everyone can freely contribute for the benefit of society and the world, apart from the capitalist profit based ownership of labor, ideas, discoveries, etc.

And when I say dog, I'm talking about the kind that runs around on 4 legs and barks. Ironicly, he not one bit ashamed about eating dog or even in the fact that it was his pet dog. He told me it had a nice gamy flavor and was a little bit stringy.

Too much attention to subtleties makes you oblivious to the obvious.
