the dragons I met were ancient. Kali is ageless. the elementals
I played with had no discernable means by which I could assess
some kind of 'age', though some were more playful than others.

sri catyananda :

>>> planets?

like the expanding universe, the soulstuff may also blow up, yeast-
like in its Muffin Compartment. until one day when the Baking is
complete and Rising becomes Decay, Freezing, or Breakfast. ;>
Bob the Cosmic Muffin has taste, They say.

assignment: design a method to ascertain the presence and
influence of spirits, interpreting properly their intended 
communications and purposes. if this is a mechanical device
which can be sold cheaply through Ebay, so much the better. ;>
 
>> I don't believe in 'new spirits', 
>> I think there are only old ones....

the Old Ones are a bleak alternative to novelty and genius.

axialthrust@yahoo.com (BhP):
> As the qabala teaches, all spirits spring from the Limitless Light. 

Ain Soph Aur? where does the Limitless Light spring from?

> Or as the pagan chant goes, "We all come from the Goddess, and to 
> her we shall return like a drop of rain flowing to the ocean".

when wandering the streets of my urban home, I composed this to the
same tune:

		We're all going to the Compost
		Whether we are boxed or burned
		Like a flattened skip-toad
		Thrown into a landfill!

and its companion to the singing of the names of deities:
	
		Asphalta, Cementia, Metallica, 
		Polymera, Coyote, La Cuckaracha
		Humana!

see? ever-expanding soulstuff! :>
the power of imagination is astonishing. 
knowledge is always its subset.

blessed beast!
