Well if I had my billions in crypto in the UAE, I would be moving it out of the country now.

From the fallout of being in a war zone.

I agree with most of that, but I just don’t see how they are going to protect UEA and Dubai in particular, along with the whole Arabian peninsula?

Yes, it makes sense that Hindu philosophy permeated the Middle East. The silk route will have been used in pre-history. Perhaps this is where the simi...

I expect there is one for each philosophical position. Perhaps one who considers a transcendent element* would be closer to what I had in mind. I can’...

Eastern mystics would beg to differ. When the outward flow is stilled, one (the self) does not vanish. Because it is not the flow of consciousness/exp...

Corporate interests are not the primary issue here. We live in a world of oligarchs now and Trump likes to hobnob with them. Whatever you say about da...

Interesting phraseology, Ukraine isn’t pressing on, they are defending their home. That deal would have left Ukraine effectively a Russian vassal and ...

The U.S. would have gone in, but the Arab states are worried about destabilisation in the region. There is big money invested in the Arab States, anyt...

This doesn’t solve the problem, for us mortals and it doesn’t answer anything about the divine realm either. For us mortals, we have proof that there ...

Yes, I would go further though, in that the physical world is not real, in the sense that it is an artificial construct. It is real to us, because we ...

I’m saying the Russians are bogged down, they’re not losing as such, there is a stalemate. Now let’s compare the two sides in the stalemate. One side ...

So are the two narratives are comparable, in the degree of disinformation?

I can’t fault your reasoning, but to get past this point there are a couple of things worth contemplating. First the idea of transcendence, that one r...

Yes, when they develop agency. Lightening doesn’t have agency, although it was depicted as an act of God, a Divine agency.This is because it appeared ...

The narrative being fed to the Russian population. They don’t receive what we in the West would call news. It’s a propaganda narrative. To become stuc...

What I find interesting is how these amino acids form in space; from Gemini; Amino acids form in cold interstellar molecular clouds, where cosmic dust...

It matters for the Ukrainians, but in the longer term. Which is what I was suggesting, formal NATO membership will likely be agreed about a decade aft...

The Conservatives did bring in a requirement for voter ID in the U.K. two years ago on the back of populist lies that there was voter fraud going on w...

That movie is Back to the Future. And welcome to the world of the mystic, we know almost nothing, well except what we find in the world we find oursel...

The cops were already looking into Epstein, when the alleged phone call was made. Someone must have tipped Trump off and he called the Sheriff and tri...

Yes, there is a difference, but for whom does it matter? The only person I can think of who would be very concerned about it is Putin. Meanwhile, Euro...

There is a photo of some children being trafficked in a toy cart. So it might be damning evidence after all.

lightening is responsible in so far as it is a physical force occurring within an arena of interacting physical forces. Animals are the same, but with...

The article spells out NATO membership in all but name. So after another 10years or so after the war has finished, it will be formally recognised. The...

It would require trust and integrity from both sides of the buffer state. The trust might have been there at the point of the signing of the Budapest ...

Yes Ukraine as a buffer zone makes sense, if one believes something that Putin says. But Putin’s actions worked against this becoming a possibility. C...

Well Buddhists do a very good job of not mentioning this. Is this one of the things they don’t give an answer to? Also is this how a person’s Karmic r...

That’s why Mandelson was made ambassador in January 2025, so he could smooth talk a better tariff deal for the U.K., it worked. The trouble is it near...

I don’t assume he’s insane, I’m considering it, because his actions appear to be the actions of someone with questionable sanity. I mean to say repeat...

But you are assuming Putin is sane, what he has done is insane. Certainly if Putin’s goal was to increase Russia’s security, what has resulted is the ...

I don’t want to be part of a pile on, so I’ll leave it at that for now. I’ll just say what I said to Tzeentch, yes Putin has secured most of the Donba...

Those words were spoken at the start of the invasion, the aim being to pacify any response. Along with threats of nuclear Armageddon to any nato force...

I’m familiar with the arguments, from the sources you cite. We mustn’t lose site of what Putin is thinking and saying and the pattern of invasions and...

I read the thread at the time. What you are suggesting is an alternative interpretation of what happened on the ground and what Putin’s motives were. ...

So why was a military Column marching on Kiev at the beginning of the invasion? And if the plan was to bed down in bunkers in the Dombass, why did a c...

Yes, this makes sense to me, that it is a living development, or growth. The plant cannot flower until the plant has grown, the bud formed and the rig...

Putin lies about his actions, the Ukrainians know this. They see him for what he is. The special military operation started with an assault on Kiev, t...

I’m aware of your geopolitics, but this is not really a geopolitical story, it’s more a spy and espionage novel. Now who is the evil mastermind in thi...

Very much so. Presumably that is why we are here, to educate us in our spiritual growth? This is where my thinking differs from Buddhist theology and ...

Ooh ooh, I must have hit a nerve.

My point is that Russia had become a friend, you know, even Putin was asking to join NATO at one point. The spies let their guard down. Meanwhile Puti...

We were talking about state involvement. It is well known that the Russian state will use blackmail and death threats to recruit agents in other count...

Yes there would have been many Russian escort women looking to take advantage of the opportunity. There is talk of Epstein using Sergei Belyakov, then...

But the prospect of getting something on a member of the Royal family would be gold dust for the Russian intelligence. Why would the U.S. state be get...

Why would Epstein be trafficking Russian escorts to royal palaces in the U.K. if it was a U.S. state operation?

Yes, I was not implying this when I introduced the idea that brought up Buddha nature. I was simply pointing out that the nature is within us. I would...

Yes, the birth of independent, or transcendent agency*. Quite a responsibility, hence the requirement for us to act responsibly. Indeed religions migh...

Well the idea as I understand it is that it is a process of the development and refinement of beings. Such that a refined being is taken up into the p...

It is beginning to look as though it became a Russian operation. This also ties in with election interference in the 2016 elections in the U.S. and Br...
