nabraxas Posted February 7, 2005 here's a shot ov nottingham castle it's built on top ov a hill w/sheer cliff sides. at the base there is a pub built onto a cave in the hill side. it's one ov the oldest pubs in england--1169. "ye olde trip to jerusalem" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devance Posted February 7, 2005 Great pictures and info. I can just imagine tossing back a few brews at the pub and then resting in secure splendor from the perilous world in the castle after feasting on fire roasted wild boar. Might take a few target shots with a crossbow at the height of the drunken merrymaking in homage to the spirit of Robin who made his own notable spiritual response to violence.

Ashoka Posted February 8, 2005 Hey! I've been to that pub.. Great place and what a lovely homebrewn ale they've got.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nabraxas Posted February 8, 2005 it is indeed a top pub, & devance the history(ov violence--'the olde trip to jerusalem' being the crusades to which it is contemporary) drips from the cave walls ---arms & armour, flags & standards--all strewn about in a haphazard junk shop manner. should definately be in the top 5 ov "things to do in Merry England" ---dunno about the homebrew though :shudders: [ 08.

Manisobsolete Posted March 8, 2005 Theres too many people in the world already, learn to defend youself properly and teach the people a lesson, if you get in the first strike theres a million and one combinations to put someone down and out, then the chances of his mates wanting to try as well is almost non existant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caludia Posted March 16, 2005 an interesting integration of violence as "awakened awareness" is in the film Dead Man. Also some good Bill Blake poetry too. But honestly, for heavens sake, violence? We can try better than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caludia Posted March 18, 2005 also if u like dead man, personally i think the follow-up (sort of), Ghost Dog, is better. Better music, by the RZA. Even has Gary Farmer as an Indian again, saying "stupid fucking white man" again i dont know, i just was really moved by Ghost Dog. Maybe another example of violence as "spirituality".

caludia Posted March 18, 2005 in ghost dog, Mr Dog is also marked as a dead man (and also dies)... in this case, he consciously brings his "death while living" into being, by following samurai code, the gist of some of which goes, "a samurai must live every day as if he is already dead." In the original Dead Man, Depp is marked as the dead man by a bullet wound that will be fatal... and the indian Nobody sees he is already dead, or inevitably dying, and is almost like his personal shaman or guide to death, in a violent world... Ghost Dog on the other hand, because of his own near death experience, decides to "regard himself" as dead. So he is another Dead Man - but he is his own guide. I give these films two thumbs up. My wife gives them 1 and a half thumbs up, giving an average of 1 and three-quarters thumbs up, today on the Shaman Australis Movie Show. Be sure to tune in next week!

Salviador Posted March 20, 2005 violence begets violence. When in a situation of violence, don't respond to provocations. Ie; Q)wanna fight? A)hows the stockmarket going? / thats a nice shirt / are you alright? this way aggressors do not take you attention and lead your mind. Instead you take their attention and lead their mind, people will not attack unless they have your attention/fear on the same wavelength. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
