What you describe is the physiological response that gives rise to 'goose bumps' where tiny muscles at the base of each hair contract, making the hair 'stand on end', and causing the surrounding skin to become 'bumpy'. The textbooks usually describe it as a stress-related fight-or-flight response, but that's where things start to get a bit sketchy, with suggestions that it's a vestige from a much earlier and hairier stage of evolution where having a lot of dense hair stand up makes one look bigger and more frightening to an enemy (as seen in scared cats for example).
Or might it come back to that suggested "sixth sense" one wonders, where fear of something lurking makes the hair stand on end, making it more sensitive to movement in the surroundings, especially in the dark say. Thus the common report of being conscious of the hair on one's head or neck. Might that help serve as a warning of something creeping up behind one, partly compensating for not having eyes in the back of one's head?
I can concur with your last comment in many ways. Perhaps my opening line in my first comment in using the latin term ‘per se’ which means I believe ‘by itself’ was used wrongly. I was I thought alluding to, that the philosopher’s stone a physical object(?) was not in by itself the only thing required for either external or internal alchemy. And or that perhaps the philosopher’s stone may not be ‘just’ a physical object but also an internal one.
As is above/macro/external, so shall it be below/micro/internal.
About 40 years ago in my ignorance I ask a number of questions. A question asked reveals 3 things I believe; 1) what one knows, 2) what one does not know, 3) that which will be revealed. But, once a question is asked IT must be answered. Well my questions have been and continue to be answered in a number of ways. Either discovering these answers by my self through various means, or having things revealed to myself by others.
My challenge and that which I have discovered is that there is no way these answers can be how shall I say it, ‘shared’. The language just does not exist I believe. They have to be discovered by self for self, more of a feeling, an internal understanding. The best I have ‘come’ up with is to live these truths and not to be afraid to speak them when ever possible if one can. By living them and speaking up, not dwelling in the place where ‘fear is the mind killer’, the best I can hope for is others to observe these truths and take them into their lives as well. Sort of like the concept of 6 degrees of separation or the 100 monkey syndrome.
Many, a time over the last 40 years I have wished that I had never asked these questions, nor gone down the rabbit hole, could crawl back into that cave of ignorance. But alas, it is not so. That which I have had to go through, experience, that which has been revealed to me, well at times it has been and continues to be almost overwhelming.
Having meandered about this path of life now for 60 years no one is more surprised then myself that ‘I’ AM still here. Ignorant and naïve in many ways being off set by other things, maintaining a dynamic balance of sorts. Still the stranger in a strange land, seeking the answers to many questions. Watching, observing, participating in, waiting.
Any ways, in truth my apologies for disturbing your wa. All the best to you in your seeking.
If these creatures died during the mass extinction at the end of the Pleistocene, then the unicorn of legend may well be a folk memory of them. Native Americans preserved a clear memory of the mammoth and mastodon. In the same way, it is becoming increasingly clear that troglodytes and satyrs of Greek legend were remnant Neanderthal populations.
I'm not going to go into religion of any sort, but don't you all felt the hairs on your back or hairs on the back of your head tingles or froze upward whenever you sense negative energy or maybe a negative feeling? Would you call that a sixth sense? I don't believe that it'll be any of the 5 senses that you're feeling. You're not touching it physically, taste it, smell it, hear it, nor see it at all. It's just...well, a feeling.
In the sane and rational world, this is called mining. This is a fantastical story only supported by imagination. It is interesting, but purely fantasy. Get real people. The truth is out there.
How safe is it for Serbs to come and stay at the Bosnian Pyramids. PLEASE tell me honestly.... Even though I was born in America I more so identify as Serbian.

1 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto 2 them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men 3 and beget us children.' And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not 4 indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations 5 not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' Then sware they all together and bound themselves 6 by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn 7 and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, 8 Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaq1el, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. These are their chiefs of tens.
[Chapter 7]
1 And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms 2 and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they 3 became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed 4 all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against 5 them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
Hilly7!! Excellent. I just left a comment for these folks to read Genesis 6 but I know they won't. I still see comments about the talking snake? Haha. It's punishment was to crawl in the dust. Ancient texts like " Enoch " .. which was left out when "they" put our Bible together... gave too much information.
You’re making a helluva lot of extraordinary claims Jason. And extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs, just like the existence of Jesus or other historical narratives in the Bible require. Just remember, you don’t need to be a devout Christian or God-fearing man to accept that much of the historical narrative of the world’s religious works, including the Bhagavad Gita, Qur’an and the Bible, might in fact be true. As an example, there is much evidence and profoundly new enquiry and revelation supporting evidence of events such as a global deluge/flood, the sojourn, enslavement and exodus of Asiatics in Egypt (and later conquests by) to name but a few. Now whether those events were brought upon by a vengeful Yahweh or not is debateable but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen. On the subject of the Christian’s Christ, do a little digging around on the figure named Yeshua Ha-Nozri. In addition, a good review of the Nag Hammadi Library and others offer some tantalising insights into the possible existence of some kind of illumined prophet that fits that of Jesus Christ. It’s not religion that kills, it’s man that kills. Many of the scientific minds who have shaped the world we live in actively sought a relationship with The One which we cannot comprehend. Many of those minds were prophets in themselves.
Native peoples were slaughtered by the millions on both North and South America that is a fact. These comments trivialize that loss of life. Whether by sword or sickness it still was brought by hypocritical mostly Christian people. Shame on you for not recognizing that fact it would seem those lives mean nothing that isn't good science. I also participate in genetic research it tells a story whether you like the results or not.
When you look at a map, it seems at first sight that the Colorado River has crossed a flat plateau, then entered a region of high ground, then out again onto the same lower plateau the other side. How can that be?
The answer we're told is that it was all plain to start with some 6-10 million years ago, with the Colorado wending its way across. There was then geological uplift, raising a block of plateau more than a mile high. But as the plateau rose, the river was able to stay level with the original plain by cutting down as fast as the land rose, creating the Grand Canyon through ability to "keep up", correction, "keep down".
So yes, your term "erosion" is correct, but maybe fails to convey the extraordinary manner in which a river seems able to cross high ground via its own designer deep gorge.
I fear this article is not so much missing facts, as utterly slap-happy history. A moment's thought would reveal that the Spanish invaders simply lacked the physical power & resources to exterminate so many native indians by brute violence.
Of course the colonialists exploited Indian labor with cruel violence & brutality, but that alone could not kill so many, especially amongst the tribes in remote forests & mountains (eg., the once-populous Amazon villages). Most plausibly, the poor native indians had no immunity to virulent epidemics brought from Europe.
This is particularly so for North American tribes. Many tribes were nomadic, & had horses. An Indian archer could fire off 20-odd arrows for every musket shot. But there was no escape from, or defence against, whiteman diseases.
Well WE now know that might work if we find ourselves in a similar situation – in the late 15th century they knew nothing of vaccinations to preventanything ! OK for your next Continental Invasion then !
There is also the concept of Electrical phenomena, not to be dismissed with ‘pooh pooh’ – if you study the effect of gigantic electrical discharges on earth’s surface you will see exactly the picture of the Grand Canyon – the multiple channeling with deep cutting into the surface with no logical water source from which to get a powerful stream to erode those channels fits better with Electrical discharge than water erosion – look at the formations on Mars too – exacftly the same picture and not a drop of fluid in sight to make those channels ! I think we need to try and take all ideas into account instead of getting into supposed ‘professional expertise’ when so much is really unknown. See Electric Universe. concepts & http://www.thunderbolts.info/ for lots of very exciting ideas !!!

That Jesus gets around, don't he? My toast the other day had the face of a mountain on it. I slathered it with butter and jelly, then ate it.
