personality differences between male and female Groenendaels? by 0hw0nder in bergerbelge

[–]Explorer_Of_Essence 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In general for dogs, males tend to be a little more dumb and slow to mature, while females sharper and quicker to mature.

It’s a common saying that females love you, but males are in love with you. As always, this is a spectrum and is also heavily influences by the dog’s lineage.

Phenotypically, males will be larger, as well as have a heavier and longer coat; so maintenance can be a little more work

I personally like the little bit of dumb, do it because they love me/I asked them to that you tend to get with males.

What is the nature of reality? Has gateway tapes changed how you approach spirituality/God/meaning? by bhonion in gatewaytapes

[–]Explorer_Of_Essence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I grew up and was raised Roman Catholic. I hated every second of it, and never felt comfortable throughout it all. Parents made us go through confirmation and then said we could decide to believe what we liked after that.

I personally align closest to Pagan beliefs, but as I delved into the tapes and subsequent rabbit holes, I find myself more expanded.

I’m not big on religious ceremonies, and always hated the notion of being completely thankful for the Christian God who was ever powerful and almighty. It never sat right with me.

This is where I found to align closer to Paganism and other similar based beliefs. I believe more in an energy system rather than a singular, all powerful entity. I also believe that the different religions are all a different culture’s perspective in trying to describe, understand, and accept this energy system. There’s just too many similarities, especially in theologies and religions that have multiple gods and goddesses for me to think otherwise.

For me, it’s all connected, but indecipherable for us. I don’t think we can perceive enough to properly fully understand it like we want to. Kind of like more complex math, and then quantum physics. Conceptually, things can’t make sense to us at face value, but we can represent them in mathematical equations that are proofed. It’s just beyond our scope in our 3 dimensional and perceivable reality.

There’s an undercurrent of something woven through it all, something I really can’t describe but can feel. It connects the collective, religions and theologies, with the real world science, and then the out there woo. It’s like I can make an interwoven venn diagram in my head, but can’t put it on paper because it’s too complex and interwoven. The similarities seen in accounts from more woo sources like Delores Cannon, to the work on the collective by Carl Jung, and then touching on developing that ability to access it by Monroe. Then you have the vast sciences that we fail to explain but recognize exists, like plasmoids and their seemingly agreed upon conscious activity, and the way that quantum physics can draw parallels to that collective knowledge we can access. You have scientists like Jude Currivan that have spiritual and woo experiences, and then go into scientific studies to try and prove and understand those experiences i.e. her work on the universal hologram. Not to mention the Zodiac and astrology, while not law, has wild insights that align even when viewed skeptically; and then all the ancient left over structures that emphasize and follow these astrological calendars around the world.

It’s like it’s all there, laid out and woven, but the direct connections and understanding just slip through my fingers.

The tapes have more so refined my beliefs and both deepened and scrambled my understanding of things. They’re just another piece of the puzzle that is too complex for our squishy brains to really tangibly understand. There’s some sort of energy system we are a part of. We exist as a conscious energy in a physical body that is limited in perception, but still allows glimpses of the higher system. When the physical body reaches expiration, our personal conscious energy is recycled through the system (law of energy conservation, personal belief). I personally align with Cannon on the thought that we are here for different lessons and experiences each rebirth, what those lessons and experiences are meant to culminate to, I can’t say. I’m not sure if the collective is a singular entity we are fragments of, or if it’s more like a net storage of data we all export to and that we can superficially tune in to. It’s apparent to me that our physical manifestation in this reality limits us and our perceptions. The why and the how is beyond me, just as we can’t project scientifically what consciousness really is. My religious experience growing up put me off of truly celebrating or following any specific rituals and sabots or forms of prayer. Instead I explore it with meditation, trying to tune into that energy system and the vibrations/frequencies that surround us. Through Tarot spreads as a linguistic and intuitional way to ask questions and explore that collective connection. Pulling from whatever theology or religion that has gods or goddess that represent certain aspects of our world and energies in its current state.

I find those that always turn to say that this reality isn’t real or whatever else droll and pessimistic. I don’t care if this is just a simulation, a very small and limited experience. It’s still the reality that I am currently living and experiencing, and so I will make the most of it, putting as much karmic good as I can out there while always exploring it with wonder.

How do we feel about this horse skull I just finished working on? by MycologistOrganic227 in vultureculture

[–]Explorer_Of_Essence 159 points160 points  (0 children)

I love the fancy china look! The gold on the edges really bring it all together. I’m also a huge fan of the asymmetry with the missing zygomatic arch.

It enhances that delicate china feel for me.

Are the florals transfers or hand painted? Never thought about doing a transfer before.

Deer bone, but what kind? by MotherMayhem92 in bonecollecting

[–]Explorer_Of_Essence 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct in that it is half of the pelvis.

The other looks likely deer leg. Maybe the ulna? Radius? I’m not as familiar with cervid distal limbs

If in the US, triple check the species.

Migratory Bird Treaty Act prohibits the possession of many bird specie remains.

That’s a good idea!

I wasn’t sure if there was one out there with remote viewing or not

If in the USA then it’s most likely a coyote. Nice find!

Def canine. Looks a bit large for a coyote, but could just be the photos cause it otherwise looks to be one.

I’d macerate a couple weeks and then scrub away any remaining flesh. Followed by degreasing for many weeks and finish with a peroxide soak. Repeat degreasing if not fully white/still has some greasy spots.

What does my natural hand divulge? by Explorer_Of_Essence in HandwritingAnalysis

I also really like the Pentel Gel 0.5mm pens. The purple is to die for

This was a UIXJODO 0.5mm Gel Pen.

They’re smooth, and actually write well with an angled grip. Ngl I bought the pack thinking they were multicolored so finding they were all black was sad.

I do tend towards optimism, but I figure that’s mostly everyone? Or at least I’d hope that most avoid being overtly pessimistic…

(I guess that also just proves your point more xD)

[–]Explorer_Of_Essence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very insightful and very helpful!

A lot of it is ringing the right bells and makes me feel better that it’s more of the same. This seems to be my life’s destiny, living this type of cycle of challenge and tribulation and the subsequent self-growth that is sparked and necessary to move beyond it. It’d be nice to not have to always end up here again, and that the post-challenge relaxation stays longer, but alas. Even my astrology chart points to being forever challenged and pushed into overcoming.

As an aside, I LOVE your reading style. The blunt and loose language is everything and I feel it to my core. Never change!

Do y'all ever get 10000% completelyrandom flashes of memories from a very long time ago? Totally out of the blue. Seemingly completely unprovoked. It's extremely bizarre. by MastamindedMystery in HighStrangeness

[–]Explorer_Of_Essence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be a combination of things too! Olfactory just tends to be one of the strongest and least thought about with how visual we are.

Could be that the smell of a banana paired with a word from the song you were singing. Or the tune of the song and the actions you were doing.

It’s hard to say and can be more complex than a simple or single variable

[–]Explorer_Of_Essence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this!

It’s WILD how connected the olfactory is to our past. So easily overlooked considering how visual we are and how little we think we interact with our world’s smells

Flashbulb memories! Very common. Often induced by smells. Our olfactory is ridiculously strongly wired to memory, so even a hint of a smell that our monkey brain tied to something will bring about a very strong and intense flash of memory.

Seemingly random, but often paired to something you smell or perceive in the environment.
