Akvavit Perspective (was RE: Earth 'will expire by 2050')

[Guest guest]

Once i went to a party with an english musician and his technician.

There was a friend of mine with 4 bottles of akvavit.

Late at night the tecnichian was crawling along the floor with one of the bottles.

He told me: Now I know what they gave the indians.

Don't drink more than one glass, even if akvavit = water of knowledge,

that is propably all you will learn.

from the verb veta (veda) = to know and aqua is latin of course

and i forgot to say the mushrooms are very nice, don't know the english name

I always remind myself that just 15,000 years ago there was an ice age

here, the spot were I am sitting right now used to have two thousand

meters of ice above it, that is more than 6000 feet... Ragnarok,

destruction by fire and ice... According to the ancients

Scandanavians... Akvavit is fire-- add ice cubes--voila! Presto!

Ragnarok Wim, where exactly are you located? Is there any ice left?

Does it snow where you are located? Does it seem to be getting warmer

or cooler there, in terms of average climate? Like the stock market,

long term weather patterns tend to follow graduated inclines and

collapses...usually just before an ice age, the average temperature

(globally) increases, until suddenly, holes in the ozone layer allow

the atmospheric insulation to thin out drastically, which, along with

increases in volcanic activity often increase amounts of CO2 and other

greenhouse gasses that absorb heat due to dark particulates in air.

We could be on the verge of another ice age...and I completely agree

that we often view such long term and huge cosmic events as if they

revolve soley around we humans. But, I thought if you could let us

know how the weather was where you are at, we might have an early

warning! Blessings, Love, Zenbob PS., oldest hominid (possibly

humanoid) remains found near Lake Chad in desert area. 7 -8 million

years old. Had very human features, walked upright, carried American

Express Card...never left home without it. Interesting... Blessings,

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
