@topic.

Yes.  The highlight of beauty is in the VEIL.  A subdued and softness in appearance, this is enchanting.

Are you serious @ the bolded?

I'm going to trail off a bit here; What does virginity signify in Islam? Why is the height of goodness rewarded with Virgin women/men?

Virginity signify purity - in its essence of desirability . . . . it is untouched, undefiled, no flaw, not fouled, uncorrupt, un-used, brand new, fresh, mint condition. The senses are delighted in its taste, smell, touch, sound, sight and the blossom of its beauty to the beholder is powerful and infectious. Its presence is intoxicating!

Is ileke-idi all of these attributes?

Oriki,

Romantic existentialism is a state of being - the state of purity of thoughts, emotions and actions. It is a condition of loving love for love's sake! It is much too advanced to be discussed in one or two paragraphs here.

People who are in this state experience a total and complete ecstatic feeling outside the body - an involuntary arousal originating in self and terminating in self. They experience and touch the GOD within!

In theosophy, . . . . , . hermits, sages, nuns, monks, kabbalists, sufis are all known to practice romantic existentialism.

What do you think happens after we die?
Do we rest, and wait for that day?

I think there is an interim.  When you say "we", I assume you are making reference of the "soul entity"; because at the moment of death the life force (breath) departs and the body ceases animation.  

The planetary dimensions loses meaning to the dead so there is no reference or significance for time, distance and space.  People who died 5000 yrs ago and the person who died this morning are all on the same time plane. . . infinity!  

So we are held in wait - in interim - for the day of jusgement.  It might be another 5million years in the future, but to the dead souls it will seem like a minute. . .  there is no reference for time period!  Its a FLASH point after death!

Now, on the day of judgement. . . people like me of course can then rejoice in the 700 hundred virgins that are reserved in wait for me - they are trophy for my pious work here.

And you believe her? Who are they in your opinion? the top contenders? Obama is certainly getting the re-nomination. Biden may be on the chopping block though . . .

After Bill's performance a few weeks back, I wouldn't be to sure of Hillary Clinton's reluctance.

JeSoul & Montelik,

Honestly, I don't even know why I would think Hillary was credible on that first quote. Obama is in, Biden is out! Look out for Howard Dean to make a second attempt.

If it were possible for Bill to run again, I bet you he will. . . .and he will win it too! My suspicion is that Hillary is more money conscious than she is title and position.

In her current role as Sec. of State, she has cemented a network of alliances and intimacies where her entry into the international circuit as a private person would be a soft and seamless glide. She has far more sympathisers abroad than she does at home. I see her doing corporate mergers on international scale and reaping big profits from that than mending fences in Congress. I would not be surpirised she goes into oil and or mining resources. She has acquired plenty face time credibility in her current role and has insider info on what is where and who owns what. . . . there is money to be made campaigning and mediating for oil and mineral companies than having eggs thrown at you in a Florida rally!

merry crimmus to er'body!

We will continue after Xmas.


Katsumoto,

I want you to contemplate on the following situational analogy:

A hungry lion took the risk of chasing after a wild horse, it lept high in air with its claws drawn and fore limbs stretched forward for a grip of its prey. The horse kicked back its hind legs and barely missed the lion's jaw but the force landed on its shoulder and did damage. The lion recoiled and roared in pain. . . it limped away into the fields.

Limping and not able to hunt, it abandoned its den to avoid becoming a kill for the hyenas. A field ranger came upon it and intervened. Noting that the lion would soon die without food, the ranger went and slaughtered a young foal and brought it back to feed the lion.

In your opinion, do you think it is fair that the horse should loose its child to the injured predator?

Since the objective of the ranger was to keep the lion alive, would it not be equally okay to feed it with road kills, scavenged left overs, drowned antelopes on the river bank. . . .instead of a fresh fat kill snatched from the mother it was preying just days before when it got hurt?

Katsumoto,

Impressive analysis! I get this feeling that your review is a short-span specific to the Obama Administration. I'd like to hear you clarify that charge.

Also, I am challenging mis- conceptions exhibited in your response, that:

1. the economic problems are limited purely to conventional free-market practices (or malpractices, if you will).

2. the solutions implemented by the White House produced deliverables which more than offset the projected damages that would have resulted otherwise.

JeSoul,

the top 5 Democrat contenders for the next election cycle are not as formidable as the 3 in the top tier of their 2008 cycle - Obama, Clinton and Biden.

. . . . Clinton already said she is not in it again. Who else can do it?

The amount of Confederate Flags that I seen in South Carolina (Birthplace of the Confederacy) were appalling. They were celebrating there rebel past.

. . .precisely my point!

Compared on a national merit scale, you will find pockets of urban areas in the North, the Central Belt, Mid-West, West, Pacific, where the educational gap is at par or worse than what you correctly observed for Mississippi. It is a broad problem for the whole Nation. . . cultural mix, found in cosmopolitan cities in the New England States, California, Florida, help give those cities an edge in academic performance above the rest of the country. but that's an exception.

. . . .massive amounts of behind-kissing one has to perform is just too much

JeSoul, ok, you should know by now Negro has a mischievious way of assembling visuals.

allright, this is for your ears only. . . . if the massive behind is yours, I'm a cool ass-kisser, anyday babe!

On another issue, trust me I missed that Sarah Palin ignorance remark. Katsumoto watch it!

I have since decided to side-step all this politics and ideology. No more labels people please

you. . . really? We shall see after TPM congressional members are sworn in next month. Until then, Happy New Year!

Triangulate - You have the political aptitude of a "Clintonian". The ability to stay above the fray and maintain magnanimity.

Negro's response and remarks are dictated based on the amount and brand of liquor served last night.

With people like me behind you, trust me you will win an office, . . .

The problem with South is not related to access to better education, it has to do with their refusal to abandon traditional customs and beliefs. They are under-exposed to world customs and cultures and are constantly reminded of a "renaissance" that is no longer relevant in contemporary global affairs.

JeSoul, there is something very familiar with how you respond to views and I love it.

You should seek elective office. . . I will campaign for you. You are very good at "triangulating". I just love it!!

Ok, you win the debate.

We are not talking to the Europeans in language they understand. It is the language of religion. Christianity, in all its versions, mean more to them than anything else.

If we threaten that unless the mask is returned to the palace, the entire country, beginning in Benin City, will convert from Christianity back to indigenous religions or Islam. . . . I bet you the Anglican church, the Vatican, the Orthodox and all other protestants will get involved and stop the sale and make sure the mask is returned safely to the palace.

They have nothing to lose. . . . so why should they care about our sentiments for the mask. There should be a price to pay in a service they cannot afford to lose control on and that we have a choice to accept or reject. . . . . and that service is religion.

Facebook, like many before it, was a flavor of the month. A new flavor will soon come out, media will hype it and people will jump on that. Dog eat dog, nothing surprising!

lol, the title of your topic is funny.  You exhibit the typical ignorance, fed possibly through typical Nigerian upbringing, that fortune telling and dream interpretation is a part and parcel of Islamic and Christianity religious  scholarship.  You probably also hold the belief that traditional religion and indigenous practices are devil worship and anti-God.  

This is only an assumption based on my interpretation of your opening.  You should have an open mind, break free from pre-conceived ideas about religious practices and study all religions to learn the truth based on your own personal understanding and enlightenement.  You were taught by well meaning parents and relatives wanting the best for you. . . what they gave you was a pedestal, you must launch yourself from that pedestal and attain greater heights.  


On your dream. . . . here is the general script:

I found myself in a Northern-Style settlement (Open plains, mud huts and thatched roofs) I was seated on some make-shift stool from a tree stump holding a wooden cane in my hands.

Roots!  This is all connected with your roots.

Open plains, mud huts, thatched roofs - Earth and its resourcefullness to mankind.
Seated on make shift stool, tree stump, wooden cane - you are sitting on the gains and legacies of those that preceeded you.  You are a carrier of that legacy to future generations.  

Two men approached me; an elderly person and a young man. The young man pointed to me and said "That's him" they asked me to hold up the cane and i noticed some Arabic markings on it in white paint and i could not read it.  The Old man took the cane from my hand and looked at it then said "Allahu Akbar" strangely, i repeated after him "Allahu Akbar".

Your mind is in a state of darkness.  You need enlightenement to clear your mind of its darkness.  Revelations will come to you from a resource but unless you are in a state of preparedness - enlightenement -  to make good use of the messages, you will not fulfill your purpose as a link in the line of legacy.  

He asked me to close my eyes and open my mouth then it started to rain and get this. I could taste the water. After the water had collected in my mouth, the old man asked me to swallow it. At this point i was now wary of swallowing but was to embarrassed to spit it out, so faked swallowing by gulping down air. and I woke up.

Water in dreams mean womb or a birth or a rebirth or an opening or a gateway or a transform or a new beginning or change in state from one dimension to another.  


There is a future and there is a past.   The past is not necessarily a timeline of your own lifetime, it could be a stretch into timelines in the chains of ancestry in your bloodline, say your father, grandfather or even great grandfather. . . but it's a link to the past.  It could also mean a timeline in the history of mankind!

You are a link in a chain of a very important transaction but you are currently in a state of uncleanliness and unpreparedness.   So transform yourself and be ready for a purpose that will then be revealed to you.  


Hope this helped.  

A presidential victory is based on two factors: 1) participation in an electoral district and 2) electoral college.

Projecting from the newly released census result (and I hinted on this outcome in an earlier post), the likelihood of Democrat winning the White House in 2012 is lost. . . totally and completely lost!

Between November 2nd and yesterday, nine Democrats in the Georgia House of Representatives have crossed the aisle and switched party to Republican. They bring their districts along with that switch. I hear this is happening in many other states, particularly in the South - I attribute this to the legacy of sons and daughters of Confederate who feel an aggrieved sense of loosing their birthright to the White House to a colored man.

I am an issue voter. . .stopped voting on party line long ago. However, I do sympathize with Democrats on this loss of the White House and Congress in 2012.

With regards to the economy, I believe that Obama has taken well meaning steps. He bailed out corporations whose bankruptcy would have led to high employment. He employed supply-side economics by implementing the Keynesian based Stimulus plan to stimulate the economy.

The banks made profit by risking money and assets in investments that were prospected to yield astronomical gains. A lot of these Wall street investments translated to predatory lending tactics on Main street and many families were bitten bad for falling victim to their lending practices. For those families, their losses were attributed to bad judgement and failure to understand the risks involved, and none of them were ever compensated or bailed out.

A risk demands a sense of accountability. . . . . .choosing to step out into the dark night of a dangerous forest and taking ownership of the anticipated outcome, whatever it may turn out to be. . . .gain or loss.

For many years before their failures, these banks were notorious for engaging in accounting malpractices hidden under audit reviews. They will announce a profit margin before the end of their fiscal year to move money around for tax purposes but then turn around before the annual general meeting and amend the books to reduce payout on their profit sharing to shareholders.

. . . . . . by bailing them out Obama failed the country. He redistributed wealth to entities that ought to be left alone to fail. All that 'too big to fail" was a scare tactic. . . . left alone to die, I promise you they would invent their own rescue. In fact, I believe they had a contingency for that particular scenario.

On the Keynesian approach, you don't apply a viable theory to conditions that are practically counter-effective to the laws under which that theory is ideally suited to operate. The conditions on the ground were purely fraudulent practices - ethical questions - and not an out of balance economic dynamics. The dynamics were still in balance you just needed to root out the unethical violators.

If I may something else too, in America there are two elements above the President. . . one is overt and the other is covert. . . . and his success in office depends on how well he manages both.

The overt one is the Constitution of the United States of America. This document is the highest office of the sovereignty.

The covert one is the Central Bank. . . . it is the only entity in America with enough power to veto, in principle, the actions of the President. By bailing out the banks The President learnt the first lessons that his power is not absolute. . . .forget that he is referred as the most powerful person in the world.

I think one of the greatest handicaps we blacks suffer from is our constant predilection to play the racism card where none exists. It makes it that much harder to take seriously and treat with the appropriate amount of justified anger when actual racism occurs.

true, except that nothing in American society is free, end-to-end, from racial coloring.

Are you aware that even Wal-Mart is color coded in its distribution network? Here in the South we have two Wal-Marts. . . the Blue and the Green. The Green is mostly found in minority neighborhoods and the Blue in mixed income to high end communities.

What people express is a reflection of the policies that are end-products of government and corporations alike and these two players control the society and the economy.

I do agree with you though that where other reasons and explanations exist then race outght not be the main theme of discussion.

The wedge issue in the 2000 elections was "moralism". Evangelicals, supporting Bush, positioned the Democrats as a moral liability for the nation and sought to make VP Al Gore a complicit of President Clinton's "Monica sex scandal" and "Whitewater kickbacks", thereby forcing a distance between the two. Even though Gore won the popular vote, this strategy helped thinned his national support nonetheless.

In 2004, the wedge issue was clearly "patriotism". Evangelicals and the conservatives positioned Senator John Kerry and the Democrats as "weak on national security". They reopened Kerry's record and outcry against Vietnam war as an unpatriotic activism sponsored by socialists newly empowered in the gains and successes of the civil rights protests of the late 60s and early 70s. Coupled with his ambivalency to "flip and flop", one moment supporting an idea and then soon turning against it moments later, he was painted as a risky option to trust with the national security of a nation in the middle of war with Islamic terrorists.

In 2008, the wedge issue remained "patriotism". President Bush failed to prove that the country was necessarily safer with Republicans than with Democrats. Given the many setbacks of the war and the discovery that the Government is increasingly encroaching on citizens' rights - a hard pill for Conservatives to swallow - it was very difficult for the Evangelicals to march forward against Democrats. Adding to that, the popularity surge for then Senator Obama far outweighed any possibility that a wedge issue - especially that patriotism has lost juice early in the year - would be a determinant in vote results. Then the scandal of "Too Big to Fail Banks" erupted and the only candidate who could articulate and give word to the escalating problem was Obama - though he was the least knowledgable about the regulations - and not McCain.

In 2012. . . . . there will be a wedge issue! So far since President Obama took office, the Evangelicals and the Conservatives feel a sense loss. They have a sense of America being stolen from them. . . . not as a partisan issue but on a racial level. They believe the country was founded by White noble men, having a non-white person on the throne of rulership is a sacrilegious and abominable infringement and they are determined to seize it back by whatever means possible.

To do that successfully they will frame their wedge around "Islam and big government". Loosely, it translates to "patriotism and free-market". They will argue that Obama and Democrats are weak on security and when faced with a decisive moment they fail to play hardball. . . that they readily yield ground to terror and people who are planning to 'Islamize America".

They will argue that President Obama campaigned to "redistribute wealth" - the episode with Joe the plumber comes to mind! - and that he indeed carried out that promise in his economic and trade policies. . . . .by bailing out Wall street bankers and Detroit Automakers. That left alone to operate, unaided, the free-market capitalism would have corrected and the country might have recovered sooner and less burdened by debts.

In 2012, the White House will be contested and also the House seats that were just voted in this November. Democrats have ample opportunity ahead to begin drafting a "counter-wedge" issues that will portray Republicans and their Evangelical and TPM sympathizers as a delicate and deranged bunch to keep out of Washington and White House in 2012.

How do you all feel about "Open Relationships" which are when a couple occasionally let the other person "see other people" or invite a third party from time to time to "engage" in acts? I just watched a documentary about it and supposedly it spices s3x lives and prove to lead to more successful relationships.

It is exstatic. . . . . but comes with a side effect

- plenty black eyes and bloodied lips.

Is there any person who thinks that there is any possibility of arriving at the perefct square pattern through a process of chance.

. . . . while I agree with your outlook into the impossibility of achieving this assignment without a divine intervention. . . .I nonetheless challenge your reality for impulsively concluding on an experiment that you have not conducted long enough to collect enough samples for elimination.

So, divinity apart, I will say it is possible, in physical theory, to achieve the perfect square.

Everybody in Amerikka know that Nigerians are liars

. . . . . this is why when we cough the price of oil goes up in NYSE. If we were truthful the likes of you will find us boring and uninteresting. . . . . you will not become part of our community in NL. Our lies are endearing!

wooo!

Imperial!
