>>41810032>Also, has anyone read Bronze Age Mindset? Lots of heterodox esoteric gems here, the author gives praise to Greeks for their supposed amorality (like the story of the Trojan horse, where, rather than saying the city was theirs because its gods will, they won through deceit and trickery) and praise for their desire to be tyrannical.I think you and BAP might be having an unfounded reading of the Iliad on this. It was not considered to be a celebration of amorality in victory, but rather an indictment at their own culture of war. This isn’t even a “le based media literacy” take, it’s explicitly there to call out the tragedy of war, how it kills our best and bravest, how everyone loses, and that morality doesn’t play a part. Hector is the paragon of piety, and though the Hellenes have to break their own codes and cloud the victory with shame, Hector still dies. Achilles dies. Paris dies. Priam dies. Everyone dies. >t. Homeric scholar and Olympian theist
>>41811864>>41811869>>41811874this is very interesting, how did you reach these conclusions?
>>41812958>Hector is the paragon of pietyBack in Medieval times Hector was one of the 9 Worthies who were as paragons of chivalry, mostly because he was also a Trojan hero and western europeans saw themselves as descendants of Trojans because they read the Aeneid
>>41814091I got it from reading Proclus, and other ancient authors, I have posted a quote that inspired this. >"For Apollo is the cause of purity and of the separation of all things from each other, and Hermes is the cause of their common fellowship and bond, and Dionysus is the cause of their life and of their procession into generation." This information is given throughout poetry, philosophy and religion.I just put it together in a manner that is cohesive to me.You can see these ideas feature throughout myth quite frequently, actually. Apollo in the Orphic hymns is said to be the one who harmonises and distributes the cosmos, while Dionysus is often mentioned as the God of animation and generation, Hermes is a God of words and also boundaries, bindings.You will notice these are three Gods that have things in common, they are sons of Zeus but not of Hera, and they energies are somewhat overlapped in a threefold manner. You can also observe that they tend to move in distinct realms, Apollo is Ouranic, often associated with the Sun, Dionysus Chtonic, and often associated with the Moon, while Hermes is the twilight between the two realms and moves in between, like Mercury.
Is there a kind of Hellenic magical system? Can we consider alchemy a hellenic magical tradition?

>>41815005I don't even try to force them is the thing, they just sort of come and go. Usually they leave, but some, like rat lady, stay. I made one on purpose, but the rest aren't. They aren't collectible, and I know that.
maybe you should've just stopped at two voice in your head
>>41814985Tulpas take extreme focus and do not just blip in and out.Assuming the story isn’t just bullshit, your mind is shattering and you’ve lost control. You are no longer making tulpa but are within a wonderland. You must stop and get out of it before you fall deeper. Biases and subconscious triggers in everyday life and unhealed wounds will just create more and more characters.

Threadly reminder that aliens are as real as the holocaust or nukes.To understand the ayyluem psyop, we must understand the foundation psyop of the post-war world: nuclear weapons. “Disabling” all the world’s “nukes” was going to be the conclusion to the nuke story arc, and the beginning of the ayyleum story arc, “disabling” “nukes” would "prove" the alien invasion/intervention, just as “nukes” “ending the war” "proved" nuclear weapons.Picture related, the literal smoking gun proof that nukes are fake. A flash, trivial in post-production, and then a huge, rising, swirling FIREBALL, actively burning, PRODUCING black smoke. Black carbon smoke. Why is there a huge column of particulate carbon smoke? Where is the carbon coming from? >black smoke, red flameConclusion proof that nukes are fake, we can take the temperature of this mushroom cloud based on the color and (lack) of light emissions. There should be many orders of magnitude more visas light blackbody radiation than seen, the cloud pictured is definitely COLD, impossible had hundreds of terajoules of energy just been dumped into the atmosphere.>the flashWhy does the light from the “nuke” not interact with the environment in the film? The scene fades in after the flash, we should be observing the light shift from nuke illumination to sun illumination, but the lighting in the larger scene does not change at all, no shadows moving, no change in the background hills, no change in the foreground, the flash shows no signs of being from the scene, merely an after-effect applied to the entire film frame in post-production.

>>41815677Maybe you deserve it.
>>41815677>there’s no other explanation.For the scenario with a god. But since the fact is there is no god, you have the other explanation. The truth.

Strange how humand need like 5 years to develop conciousness. Other animals get it after 5 weeks. Why does it take such a long time?
>>41814294Our starting point may be the same but the end point is much greater
>>41814294Many animals are also born able to walk. Whether by natural or unnatural selection there are some noticeable differences between humans and animals.
>>41815122Young children can definitely remember, but it fades from memory
>>41815122just cuz it didnt happen to u dosent mean it didnt happen to anyone dumb namefag
>>41814294I think it has to do with stimulus. I have memories as a baby in the crib because that was what provided me the stimulus to think. Not only that but was planning, full blown awareness and consideration of consequences and tactics. My stimulus was these stupid clowns above my crib. I hated the clowns because they looked like they were mocking me, and my dad would bring them down and push them in my face to tease me and it made me hate them even more. I literally trained myself to stand, stack things, and climb just to hurt those clowns and eventually got the manger and succeeded in detaching it before gnawing and thrashing the clowns. My idiot parents thought it was cute and that I liked them so put it back up higher so I couldn't bring them down again. Such is my first memory and start to consciousness, fuck clowns.>>41814972>Always struck me as odd that I thought in full english that young, even as a kid.THIS. I have been wondering about this because I was actually a late talker (though I used sentences nearly right away according to parents) but before that since a baby I distinctly remember using full english in my head all the time. I don't have an explanation and just choose to believe kids may get possessed by a spirit and there is a gap in channeling between what the brain processes and what the spirit can so your spirit's intentions get messed up being translated into the new body not capable of fully translating the signals. Also may be why some people recall consciousness and some don't, if spirits integrate with the body some might retain more info from the spirit than others.
I think I secretly control secret societies that aren't allowed to tell anyone including methat i secretly control them so they are secretly trying to control me and my reality to have better controll of themselfs and there reality IDK what to do about this

>>41815214Where I live, I help out the trees and animals. When I allow myself to experience them, the show their gratitude in various ways (for instance the way in which a flock of birds displays itself to me). But also in some less jolly but still genuine ways (I was granted to feel the energy flow of a dying tree). But never have I seen an elemental being. I do believe they have also been active near me (shaking branches causing apes to drop from a tree). I've started training higher vision through the work fo Rudolf Steiner.

>>41814486Spirits of the Earth are rarely talked about because unlike mainstream theology that usually focus on spirits of Hell or spirits of Heaven, they don't conform to a moral duality.
So what was the Feathered Serpent Mesoamerican cultures worshipped and why the fuck did they love human sacrifice so much?
>>41814642I-it Barkun? :(

>>41815436its ok if you dont have the iq for it
>>41809765>So what was the Feathered Serpent Mesoamerican cultures worshippedNobody knows.>why the fuck did they love human sacrifice so much?Basically they did a lot of human sacrifice in order to control society. If you can convince people that you must sacrifice a person to appeal the gods then this means you have power. It's a power dynamics thing. It's the same reason that our leaders send the poor to die in wars. It's a control mechanism. You keep people in check by ritually sacrificing them. You see, we like to think that the ancient people were stupid and superstitious and this may be the case for the masses, but the elite always knew what the fuck they were doing. They know that in order to control society you must spill blood. The ones willing to kill rule society while the sheep are killed. Simple as. The ancients were not dumb. They were the first ones to discover power and how to use it. The ancients consolidade power through those sacrifices and people followed. This still happens today. We are not sacrificing people anymore, but we sacrifice our time, our energy, our resources, ourselves, in the altar of modernity.

Hysterical strength; display of extreme strength by humans and some animals, usually occurring when in life-and-death situations. My mom is Bipolar and bent a stainless steep door handle to the point of crumpling it like paper.I have schizophrenia and 2 times, 1 when i was 7 and the 2nd when i was 10 i also experienced what can only be called Hysterical strength. I hit my brother the firat time and his back got a hairline fracture, the other time i bent a screwdriver with only one hand.How do i unlock this power so i can keep using it? Im a 112 lbs man, height 5'4. I think there is a way to use this power regularly but unlocking it is the real mystery. I did shat karmas for 3 months every year and yoga for 7 years to try and unlock this power but zero success, but i know monks in the himalayas can do this, they also meditate in underwear during snow storms. Anyone here know or has had success with this?
>>41813989Maybe the sagas of norse berserkers contain some hint? Going berserk and having hysterical strength seem pretty similar.
Practice strength training (max weight instead of max reps). I heard it improves the nerve connections to the muscle (which could be theoretically overloaded in a fight or flight situation) and also the willpower aspect, allowing you to consciously push a higher percentage of what your muscles are capable of.

When I pray to Gautama Buddha I feel one presenceWhen I pray to Amitahba buddha I feel another resenceWhenI pray to Jesus I feel another presenceWhen I pray to God (OT) I feel another presenceI earnestly try to connect with each and they feel different. Is this real or schizo?
Feelings, I have heard the Buddha say, are empty.
>>41814083The presence you feel is your own delusions. Jesus is the LORD from the OT.
