Wow. The police actually arrested him. Controversial Destiny church leader Brian Tamaki claims he is a "political prisoner" after his arrest this morning for breaching bail conditions. ...He was taken in a police vehicle to the Mt Eden remand Centre, ...
Good to see an alternative "take" on what just happened in Kazakhstan, not just hear & see what the usual Western msm serve up from the US State Department and Pentagon. It was a bit puzzling to hear on Al Jazeera that there was an internal power struggle ...
Remember, Gezza, it's just a dead rock ...
I talk to the moon. When I am outside and see the new moon I feel excited, and I say hello new moon! I stop and think about the coming month, what it might bring, what I might want. Talking to the moon focuses one's mind (and soul for those that believe in...
No, I think it unlikely you have such dialogue, but rather than just dismiss the notion completely I offered to consider whether such dialogue may take place on another plane or in a way I don't experience or understand, unless explained. Your reaction ...
Not very hard. You never said what the moon says to you when you "request an audience & establish dialogue with the moon". Is that because you don't actually do that? Because you were joking? Or because it's hard to put into words what you ask the moon & ...
Let's look at one of the examples you've given to show how unrealistic the views of earlier folk were (that is what you meant, right?) "… beliefs like an ancestor caught the sun in a net, beat it up, & got it to agree to slow down so we get longer days.." ...
Yes, it. The Moon. It doesn't have a sex or gender.
The Moon and Her nature has been widely talked, sung, acted and written about for as long as human could do those things; that's a massive bank of human experience and expression right there! The moon is utterly beautiful. It's awe-inspiring. Its colours, ...
Our recent belief (it's a rock) lacks depth and background, and is a temporary view, in my opinion. Even in purely scientific terms, it's so much more than "a rock" I'd never describe it as such. Celebrating the moon in song and poetry doesn't explain in ...
and to be far more committed to managing nature & its bounty sustainably. I could have put that better. I really meant that we need to be far more committed to living with nature & its bounty sustainably. Some of our environmental problems come from seeing...
I would suggest that because your psychological make-up apparently makes you need to do it is not a valid reason that everybody else does. What is the spiritual nature of the moon? How does this manifest itself?
...." Are you certain about that, Gezza? Yep. Otherwise they'd not have...
Sorry. Reply went below.
"Right there is the difference. The Western mind struggles to understand how water on a dead planet can be a surprising, wonderful gift, not of resource for us to use, but a source of wonder, of commonality. Or perhaps we can see that but it’s just poetry ...
So what? Māori ancestors had a coloniser mentality. Every group of humans that ever lived and moved to new lands & locations had a coloniser mentality. Humans & orher animals make use of the resources they find wherever they go. The most important thing is...
Yep. I am a committed night sky watcher, often thru 7x50 binoculars, & I'm fascinated by the moon. I look at it often. I find it utterly captivating. And I'm awestruck by the fact that it's so big its own gravity makes it spherical, that it's orbiting ...
"The CBC interviewer shares that water had just been discovered on the moon, and that one of the first statements made by NASA was, We don’t know yet if we can use it as a resource. Kimmerer’s response, It is the colonisation mentality extended to ...
That's a good question, Blazer. It certainly could do. Tbh I don't think the threat of any foreign power mounting an invasion is all that great anyway. They would have to consider reward v risk. We're inclined to think of it as permanently Godzone. But in ...
Valid points, but my concern or issue wasn't really about getting the boats out to sea & saving them if the owner/those living on them were warned a tsunami wave or wave train was coming. It was more about Civil Defence seemingly not expecting an actual ...
Agreed. But he IS, as described, hard work to listen to. He is so ponderously slow in making his points one has to have the time & the strong desire to sit it out & listen. Consequently I watch & listen to him a lot less these days. If there's a summary of...
Just for clarification, I mean an actual tsunami wave. That Herald article mentions someone saying people could hear it coming: He had several friends who lived on their boats but all were safe. "We're very thankful - nobody was on their boat, they heard ...
Was just about to post this: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/volcanic-eruption-new-zealand-ready-to-help-tonga-tsunami-surge-destroys-boats-closes-beaches-in-nz/QNI5GQKFSCK52KNHXAT5VAA6DE/ There seems to have been a failure of the NZ tsunami alert system up ...
Well, I watched the video. To be more accurate, in line with the schools non-violence policy BOTH boys got suspended. You have to wonder how effective their anti-bullying policy is though. Heart-warming story. Casey's got a great older sister. When you ...
I don't agree that defence policy ought to be based on hypotheticals to that extent ...End of oil does not threaten currently. Enemies are not poised to disrupt our international liaison. Planes & ships will therefore continue to make foreign trade happen....
I assume you at least have a pitchfork that could be employed in our collective national defence efforts if inviting invaders in for a chat & a cuppa doesn't mollify their desire to immediately appropriate your food forest & home for provisioning & ...
I think being a cultural/political commentator becomes more effective when one tries to raise consciousness about syndromes, beliefs, paradigms etc that hold people back and prevent them making progress. Agreed. I think even sheeple are inherently capable ...
With Labour & National locked into denial in their candyfloss alternate reality, sheeple will be reluctant to let their complacent subservience go. The idea of them getting off their collective arse & defending the moat is a bit of a struggle to grasp. ...
I get your point but something to note is that many middle eastern ethnic groups are not brown-skinned. They're as pale-skinned as europeans. Something evident to anyone like me who watches Al Jazeera tv. Some are even natural redheads. They get tanned by ...
Obviously he suffers from Short Man Syndrome. I went to YouTube & read some of the comments. Mostly, from the spelling & ghetto-style-affecteda-language used, Māori commenters I'd say. They all thought he was a complete joke. Several commented on the ...
Footage of pretty sizeable unstoppable sequence of tsunami waves maybe a metre or more high currently hitting Nukualofa just shown on 1ewes at 6. Coming from that erupting Tongan volcano, which is said to be exploding so loudly it's rattling windows in ...
