  1. http://amsterdamnews.com/news/2019/oct/31/joyful-launch-party-following-her-fathers-footstep/ @Troydo you have the book "“Following in Her Father’s Footsteps,”
  2. Revisionist history
  3. Plus I am less interested in a kind of back and forth argument. In that way perhaps I'm more closed.
  4. Yes but I am rarely impulsive. However most I have met Aries seem compelled to action. I had a variation on that. I was having a cup of tea at the Brooklyn Moon Cafe sometime in the 90's I had thought why do you think you are always right. It occurred to me that I never thought I was wrong until events demonstrated the fallacy of that idea. So now I try to consider that I could be wrong even when I am certain that I am right Part of my interests is that I like to know stuff including people and myself.
  5. Would you say the same about Pioneer?
  6. How is my following your orders, proof of my intelligence. Plus why do you think I care about your opinion of me.
  7. I have studied Astrology and Tarot, but I have also studied logic. I also have a rule I don't argue with people who can't think abstractly or who lack empathy. @Pioneer1 I have stated what made me feel free and you are attempting to negate my statement. In this and other comments you lack a sense of proportion, or you seem oblivious as to how your words or actions would effect someone. Finally I can respond or not respond how I choose. Your demands and puerile attempts to psychologically or emotionally coerce me are laughable. You can not conceive or even entertain the possibility that I may know more than you about anything.
  8. Causality is magical for the primitive, whereas for the modern it rational. That being said my belief system is more aligned with pre technological world view. So even though I have been culturally educated\endoctrinated as a modern. The central place in my belief system is occupied by sympathetic magic.
  9. Yet it does appear that I knew how you would respond. Yet it took you two days to arrive at the same conclusion. You have to see for yourself. Yes and your statement shows you had already made up your mind. Therefore you have preempted any possible exchange of ideas. This is not a new dynamic however my response or lack thereof is new.
  10. Then it doesn't matter whether I respond. What you fail to realise is that my response was in line with this comment before you made it.
  11. @Troy that's a fairly close description of my process. I think abstractly and I also think about the best way to comunicate based on the setting. However in the past two years I realise that I don't communicate all the details that a casual acquaintance might need. I also like to be parsimonious in my communication. Pioneer appears either unable or unwilling to understand a point of view. I heard a quote most communication is either manipulation or indoctrination I am not interested in being the recipient of either tactic. Sometimes a person won't understand and sometimes they don't want to understand. I have no bets in that game. you may be projecting here Troy. The only reason I ask a question is to understand the miscommunication. I have little to no need for agreement or consensus. Slowly I am starting to see my own beliefs and drivers. I have no interest in arguing, and little in communication.
  12. @CyniqueSunday July 18 8:31 pm. Even if it is cloudy you will feel the energy of Venus for the next hour. It sets about 10pm local time.
  13. The following times are especially good. For Sunday July 18 New York City. 12:05 pm Meditation\research\Esoteric activities 1:14 pm Thinking\problem solving\Strategising 5:50 am Organising\Self assessment 3:43 pm Self care maintenance. Will do Sydney, Philly, Antigua Guatemala, Melbourne Australia, New Orleans, Charlotte NC, Baltimore. For the best results start exactly on the time noted, also these times only work for this day and New York City.
  14. Have you been to Switzerland Pioneer?
  15. I was walking around Zurich Switzerland late at night. A police car stopped I said I like to walk at night and think. They said okay and off they drove. It was the first time I didn't feel the weight of my skin color.
  16. @Rae They would have to be more advanced technologically. If their society is social then they would most likely be emotionally intelligent. Or perhaps they evolved past emotions. So if there are aliens they will help us , avoid us or eat us. If there are different kinds of aliens then all three scenarios are likely even concurrently
  17. @Troy He is a retired judge but perhaps he is out of the habit of listening.
  18. Hi @Cynique Thanks for the feedback. On July 11 try 8:34 pm. If not I will find a time for Sunday July 18. I think it is cloudy until the 21st.
  19. Cynique were you recuperating from an illness or were some family members sick mostly like a grandparent on your fathers side around your 24th birthday. Or was there an inheritance that involved some travel. @Cynique
  20. Thank You @Cynique . Yes what I have also found is that numbers or words (numbers and words are symbols) can also be used to read a person's unconscious minds. If you go outside on July 10 at 8:47pm you should see Venus near the Western Horizon. It sets around 10pm. Just watch for as long as you want, any feedback would be appreciated. Venus and Mars will be visible after the sunsets. Venus and Mars will be conjunct butV enus will be closer to the Horizon. I had a very strong memory from my childhood that I suspected never happened. If your beliefs and assumptions change then it will effect your thinking. As an aside we have to learn how to see. How we think is also conditioned by our language. So if you and Inuit are looking at snow, they will see far more than you. They even have words to describe different types of snow. Since their life depends upon being able to identify the different types of snow. This is an analogy to explain time markers. Time markers The best analogy is music. let's say we divide the audible spectrum into one hundred sections. And only one instrument corresponds to each section. When you see that frequency it is a category of one instrument. So when I see a transit, a zodiacal degree or a moment of time. I know its category. So I have a categorical system to qualify a quantity of time.
  21. What does it mean to be free to you? Or how would you describe freedom?
  22. @Troy I am not going to debate this because you haven't even checked one source. And you haven't answered the question I posed to you. Rape is sexual assault, but not all sexual assaults are rape. Who's throwing terms around without knowing what they mean.
