  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Rules: All words must be cryptic messages with deep profound meaning, even if you don't understand what you are saying, just let the spirit express itself freely.

chaos and order
7 veils on the border
sea of stone
flame of ice
in a city of vice

blackened light
deepest end
sorrows transcend
everlasting joy
or an infinite void

a throne within the heart
a dazzling start
a spectrum of four
a voice we cannot ignore

a trick of the light
an endless delight
the smallest and the largest
will be the dragons plight
and the angel took flight
she holds back the night
and heralds the torrent
preparing for the fight

for the vial is vile
they shall walk single phial
and live a little while
till they open up and S.M.I.L.E

Light Bright, making things with Light.
Out of Sight, making things with Light Bright.
Work with colorful atoms that glow with Light.
Universe not included.
Make people, animals, things.
And with refills, Bugs Bunny or Bozo the Clown.
Light Bright, making things with Light.
You can make lots of pretty worlds with Light Bright.

If a hen and a half,
can lay an egg and a half
in a day and a half,
how long would it take
a grasshopper
with wooden legs
to kick the seeds
out of a dill pickle?

The Answer is ...

... Tomato... because a vest has no ... sleeves...

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
You would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row.

Shame, scientist! Degradation rituals in science

Reputations are crucially important to scientists, so it is valuable to examine processes by which reputations come under attack. One potent method is a degradation ritual, an event or process that stigmatises the target and often results in feelings of shame and humiliation. Anthropologists and other scholars from a range of disciplines have examined degradation rituals and ceremonies, but their use in science has received little attention, perhaps because of the focus on rational features of the issues involved. Degradation rituals can be described in terms of various features, including degrading agents, contexts, means and severity. Attacks on scientists in a variety of fields can be usefully interpreted through the lens of degradation rituals.

My comment: But seeing as esoteric practitioners are not scientists, full steam ahead!!!
