I admire your passion for the present moment. Is a persons’s “self” fixed in the present moment? Does it not change as the weave of time progresses? So what then might tattooing a ward on your skin function as the self perceives itself within the flow of that sea of time?

It is true that our self is constantly changing but that is why a tattoo can be so meaningful. They may act as a reminder of our past self, a memento to who we used to be. And remember the person we are today is built upon the actions of our past, tattoos are a physical manifestation of that past.

Only it’s not just their past.

True, but is still nice to have a reminder of what was. It may also act as a point of stability in the ever changing sea of life. It will be permanent no matter what else may change.

Even flesh tears from bone. Said that to a frat boy type in a 1716 (paraphrasing) after he had the wise (sarcasm) idea of getting more tattoos after the few he had lead him to being hit by a car. Guy was in a cast imbibing more spirits to embolden him. I did not have enough face to palm.

Souls themselves can be hewed from one’s body. I’m sure there’s many doing the astral projection thing now learning that lesson.

Again this is true. However, I have one final argument. Our bodies are our own sacred spaces, should we not decorate them in a way which brings us joy?

I wouldn’t say we are arguing, just solving mysteries together. Are they our own? We have autonomy (though others might try to take that away, especially proven in the last decade) while our souls are in them. There are many divination and blood magic practitioners who utilize dead bodies for rituals. Most famous recent example in the news was the Kabbalist Rabbi’s admitting to cutting on dead bodies in the sewers of NYC which lead to the bloody mattress picture, others speculated was HT.

Anyone who’s done the grave doses of hallucinogenic’s will say “we are all connected but separate” which creates a paradox in what is “ours”. So you’re certainly right these bodies are entrusted to us to be in our care and custody. I’ve just found older practitioners of sorcery attempting to sacrifice the youth as they’ve done in ages past to control their flesh to their own ends. I reckon that abomination of a cycle should break along with their feeble bones for trying to consume the youth.

An interesting debate. You make a most formidable intellectual sparing partner. Though I dare say I must still disagree. One would not be breaking the cycle. We alter our bodies constantly. We cut our hair, we dress ourselves, we utilize basic personal hygiene. This leads to our body not being in its natural state therefore interrupting the “cycle” of which you speak. The only way to remain in this cycle would be to stop taking care of oneself completely and this is obviously less than ideal.

Well it’s funny you should mention the hair thing, because while things like hygiene occurred for thousands of years, the alterations (see that word a bunch these days “ALTER”) we’ve seen especially in recent years with the most processed chemicals, do genuinely appear to not only yield unnatural visual results, but additionally, unnatural behavioral patterns. There’s something about natural hair being on someone’s neck (near the brain stem) that I believe protects them from some of the EMR1/

2/2 being now emitted at the surface of the earth at 1,000,000,000,000,000x (so says google) rather than from the stars/storms in the sky. Everyone I know who has natural hair on their necks seems to emotionally regulate better than those with shaved necks. It’s weird.

I say that as someone who doesn’t have hair on their neck… so it’s a bunch of scarves for me. 🫤. Long story, work thing doesn’t allow for long hair.

Like if you were to consider the term “unnatural” or “supernatural” was a wavelength of energy it would be something not of the earth. From the stars/electromagnetic storms. Something near “microwave” spectrum. Which in small doses, we seem to be fine dealing with, but now that humans use it as a regular means of communication and in a ton of technology, instead of just getting small doses from the sky, it’s everywhere in the western world, constantly bombarding everyone in cities and towns.

I must apologize, for I do not see your point. As far as I am aware there is no evidence to support this theory. I have met plenty of people without an altered appearance who seem to preform poorly with emotional regulation.

It’s not a sole cause to the effect relationship. Had one friend with long beautiful natural hair, SSRI’s and BC had her clawing at the walls until she got off of them completely.

But what truly can be considered supernatural? Hundreds of years ago certain herbs were considered sacred for their healing powers. We now use those same herbs in modern medicine. They always worked, however we now have the science to explain how. Did these plants stop being magical? What is the true meaning of supernatural? Is it the magical or simply that which we do not have the means to understand?

Sacred yes. But of the earth, natural spectrum of EMR, the herbs were/are. (I think scientists call that black marker EMR, aka a thermal signature originating from something “here”) Something unnatural or supernatural, the specific microwave spectrum normally emitted from stars and atmospheric storms, go figure, does the opposite of growing sacred herbs. They say if you microwave water before giving it to your plants, they won’t grow. I’ve found this to be true. Once I found that link, 1/2

2/2 all sorts of ancient necromancy, divination, astrology, conjugation, etc magic started to make a ton more sense… if something similar happens to you, don’t let it give you psychosis, they’ve been here way longer than most people know meddling in human affairs.
