Nur Posted July 30, 2003 Nurtel Wordcraft Presents: Getting high, by going down under There are two ways to go high by going low To experiment with the first one, let us take an imaginative trip to the south of Somalia, ( Sorry Somali Landers, and Puntlandians). Today we go to an archipelago of islands off the coast of Kismayo, known by locals as Chula and Chawaay. In my last visit to that island, the locals, Somali Bajunis who speak Swahili, treated me so well, I almost thought of settling there, extremely generous people who captivated me with their cheerful character and hospitality. One condtion, you must enjoy eating Qubo, the marine turtle, known for its vitality enhancing power. After the morning breakfast, we head to the beach where a small boat is waiting paddled by a dark muscular guy who wears a smile so precious, if sold to depressed people in New York, Los Angeles or Toronto, could easily fetch a million dollar tap. Now we ride the boat with Juma, I say, " Jambo, habariako? " Jambo sana, Nur, habari ya jamayaako, lama goodle"? responds Juma jubilantly. " madaxfalluuq?, I quip. We then go packing our boat with food, our scuba tanks and equipment, and off we go to a nearby reef. Before we go down, we put on our masks, strap our weights, put on our fins, tighten our jackets, read our tank meters, say our dhiker, ( bismillah, twakkaltu calaAllah, wa laa xawla walaa quwata illaa billaah) and splash down, on our back first. What a feeling! subxaanaAllah! Seconds later, everything is calm, down in the warm waters of the Indian ocean , except for sound of blue bubbles, as we descend, we periodically equalize pressure of our eardrums interior with the exterior pressure of the water which is increasing with depth as we descend. Now we come in contact with the inhabitants of the planet down under, a collection of living crustaceans, colorful corals and tropical fish on a background of the turquoise crystal clear water of the Indian ocean decorated by the strong penetrating rays of sunlight creating a 4th of July kind of tantalizing effect. Moments later, a shark is spotted circling around us as we descend, the shark, is sizing us up ( who are these guys?). Like Somalinet Forum Scumbags, a shark will not attack you if you are down under with him, his eye lenses see you a one-fourth bigger than your real size, which in the law of the jungle means ( Ninuusan warankiisu ku gelin, weedhiisu kuma gasho). In contrast, a shark only attacks when you soar above him, in which case he mistakenly thinks you are an easy prey for a kill, a prey that can not defend itself. The shark after few circles, leaves us in peace, not in pieces, Alhamdulillah, compliments of our Dhikr we invoked before we took the dive for which the angels responded ( Hudiitum, wa kufiitum) As we breathe in and out of our compressed scuba tanks while descending, the mixture of air in our tanks creates an interesting effect called Nitrogen Narcosis. ( sarkhaannimada Naytroojiinka). This effect is equivalent to a narcotic effect or an alcoholic intake which impairs judgment below hundred feet. Nitrogen as any Chem one-o-one student knows, is an inert gas, goes in and out of your lungs without any energy transformation effect, but at high concentration, the nitrogen, along with the oxygen and carbon dioxide and other trace gasses, obey Jaalle Dalton's law which causes Oxygen toxicity while at the same time enhancing the effect of other contaminant gasses on your brain which makes a pesron behave funny. As you descend further down, the hallucination increases, and you literally go high while going down, hence the exotic title of this topic, some excited victims of this phenomena were reported to have fought off their rescuers until they sank to their assured death. This effect is similar to the way some Somalinet Scumbags get high by living and posting lowly materials, the lower they go, the higher intoxicated they get, scaring away decent readers and family oriented browsers, until one day they wake up in a non familiar environment, and face an interrogation by two serious angles called Munkar and Nakiir, for their arraignment interview, followed by their subsequent classification and holding in the temporary penitentiary known as Barzakh, after which they will be hauled to their permanent home of misery and pain, so they can pay for their evils on earth which they thought will never catch up with them. A bad calculation indeed. So, to avoid the above horrible scenario, these evildoers can go get high in a different way: The second way of getting high by going- low, is to bow down in prayers, the more times you go down, the higher you get in happiness and self fulfillment, also, Allah SWT will resurrect you in higher rank in the next life when you have gone down on your knees many times out of Allah's love and respect. The prayers will help you avoid evil ways that will cost you dearly, and will help you choose your words and actions for a higher (ROI), and as a result you will be loved for your good actions on earth and fully credited in the hereafter, instead of being feared for your evil ways, like Machiavelli suggested in his famous book, Prince, and as implemented by modern warlords and politicians to rule over and mislead ignorant masses. Allah SWT says: "We have created man in the best of forms ( perfection, when man lives up to the purpose of his creation), and then ( as a result of his failure to live up to his place in Allah's dominion) we demoted (some of mankind) him to the (level of the animals) lowest of the low" Meaning Translation courtesy of Nurtel Tran- Semantics Service. So if you are bottom feeder, and dweller, remember, that you can only go up from where you are if you heed my advice. Literally an uplifting message from a caring paesano.

Modesty Posted July 30, 2003 Asalaamu Alaykum, You actually went scuba diving?!? Wicked!Its good to get high in a non-mind altering and untoxic way. :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raxmah Posted July 31, 2003 Asalamu alaikum The second scenario is definitely the best way to get high by going low. Also for those risk takers, addition to the second scenario try scuba diving, it's one of the scariest, yet funnest experience I had. Like Br. Nur said you will literally go high, while going down. Br. Nur did you like the experiance of scuba diving? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nur Posted August 2, 2003 Dear Raxmah you ask: Br. Nur did you like the experiance of scuba diving? [/QB] It is the best hobby i ever had, ( ia have done skeeing on Pennsylvania slopes), however, words can not decribe the pleasure i got from open ocean diving. The first ten meters are the most braethtaking, as colors ar more vivid and crisp, corals, fishes and the rocks are awesome, and then it is all quiet and you feel like you are a soaring eagle in the sky as you dive in a three dimensional space between narrow holes and open depths. Somalia is gifted with some of the richest marine biology coasts in the world, virgin and unexploited, unfortunately, our people have other interests.
