  1. You mentioning you studied many branches of Astrology which ones? I Ching and Ifa are base 2 Oracles. The link is as easy as 1 2 3. In fact the link is tighter between the I Ching and Ifa Oracles than the other two. There's a difference between not seeing the connection and the connection not existing. I have been studying and practising the esoteric. I have been in contact with various a Shaman, Baba, a wizard, Astrologers, witches. Who are able to see the thread that unites these practices. They all emanate from the one like language. They are cultural ways to see this world and the other. Numbers are what unites Science and Magic. However there is a reason it is occult and esoteric. There is the letter and the spirit of the Law. However there are certain things of the spiritual realm that can not be spoken to the uninitiated. I agree with you on that point. However I have nothing to add to your understanding so most of this post is for the seeker. What branch o Which branches did you study to be able to make that comparison?
  2. So you aren't aware of the spiritual side of numbers. Not certain how you can mention cosmology and write off astrology.
  3. Computers use bits which is why they are binary. Bit = Binary Digit
  4. The I Ching is 64 hexagram, the Ifa has 256. The Kabbalah has 10 Sephira and 22 paths = 32. Happen to come across this looking for the significance. I don't practice the I Ching however I have looked at the numbers. Since it like the Kaballa Ifa are base 2 divination system. In a way astrology also works with polarities. Even though it isn't base 2. It uses multiple sets of numbers that aren't number based ie binary or digital. I am contemplating creating another I Ching sequence. I gave one away.
  5. Thank you for posting. You have helped me see there is a link between the following cosmologies: Ifa; Kabbalah; I Ching.
  6. What percentage of people do you know using solar power or hybrid cars or just taking public transport. It is not likely the mining and drilling is for fun, it is because demand. WE live in a consumer based society. While we can point to capitalist and industrialist as the problem, their wealth came from consumer demand. Here is a list of the top ten on the Fortune 500. Perhaps the individual consumer isn'taware of the impact of their economic choices.

  7. @Troy you need to write a book. You'r an amfrobian, you can be in both worlds.
  8. I prefer to ask a really good question, then give a good answer. @Pioneer1
  9. You studied many branches. but then you didn't because the word isn't African. The pyramids are testament to astrological knowledge, that pre dates the Greeks.
  10. Yes I am currently looking into the 256 ifa oracles in the same way I looked at the 64 oracles of the I Ching. So I thank you for that @Azacotogan or if you prefer @Àgɛ̀lògbàgàn
  11. How did you determine they were smarter than you, and how did you feel?
  12. What about the mind?
  13. No When did you take AALBC off FB, because I saw you on FB recently. Or do you not consider an entity that you fully own not representing you? I wrote this And this was your response. I will let someone else explain it to you. It appears my point was too subtle for you to comprehend
  14. Had a look at your page , I am disqualified membership based on the criteria listed on your website @Azacotogan. Thus, It should be stated that Gànlɔdó is heterosexual-Afrikan/”Black” only monarchy. We do not entertain any form of dis-sexuality which also included interracial mate choices.
  15. The Blue Mountains in NSW is a forest of eucalyptus trees.
  16. It could be that Afro-Americans are more American than African.
  17. You studied Astrology and couldn't work it, because of its caucasian influence or some other reason. There's nothing for me to say. I have discussed Astrology and the occult in the past. This thread is your forum for your expositions.
  18. Thanks for clarifying
  19. @Azacotogan you have studied it and found it lacking. There's nothing for me to add. Since the word is self explanatory plus any contemporary definition provides clarification.
  20. I am accustomed to people dismissing or believing in it without any real exposure. You're uncertainty is counter indicated by the your following statement. Based upon the caucasian influence.
  21. @Azacotogan much appreciated will watch the link when I have some quiet time. My astrology teacher was into this as well. He talked about the forces. Some of his family said I had connection with a cigar smoking power. @Pioneer1if you can inherit your genetics and wealth why not karma: the Kennedy's.
  22. @Troy can you name one newspaper that thinks Trump will be removed by the Senate trial?
  23. Perhaps review what I said before making statements. Why do you keep moving the target? You just keep asking questions without even a mention of my answers to your previous questions. Yet you say I don't answer your questions. You're making a statement that I am swayed by the media. Then you use examples of my comments to bolster your argument. Proving intent is very difficult, since you are imputing and internal state from external cues. Motivation is a bit easier to prove using actions. Most people are swayed by the media, data and technical arguments. Clearly I am not most people. Cynique is the finest mind on the site. She posted a statement about John McClain that I had seen from FB. It sounded false so I checked and it wasn't true. If you believe I am swayed by the media because everyone is then there's no argument I can make to demonstrate my mental independence. It's a weak argument especially by someone that has met me in person. I started out working on Wall Street by day and hanging out at night. I ended with being a psychic and not a stay at home dad in Oz. Clearly I follow my own path. Most of my adult life I haven't owned aTV. I also haven't owned a computer for more than a few years between 1991-2006. I didn't have a mobile phone until 2006. It is apparent to me that impartiality is not possible by the media. There is an incredible polarisation in the culture that prevents dialogue, in addition to the death of critical thinking. I have decided to take a break from FB ironically you have returned to the Face. Climate Change my position was initially the data doesn't support the claim. Correlation is easier to show than causality. I changed my mind because of Pascal's wager. Bill Cosby was one of the worst kept secrets in the industry. Ask anyone involved in entertainment. I had heard about his character back in 1997 or thereabouts. I haven't seen The R. Kelly documentary. However based on him marrying Aaliyah when she was a minor. And having many teenage girls living with him, makes him suspect. Actually unless you have first hand information. It's all hearsay and hearsay is not admissible in a court of law.
