In the ancient liturgy of the Church and in every serious spiritual tradition, that fragrant smoke isn't empty symbolism—it's the soul ascending. "Let my prayer arise like incense before You," says the Psalm. The resins burn, the veil thins, and matter itself speaks of higher things.Why does it hit different on /x/? Because the smoke participates in the real drama. It cleanses, it offers, it drives out the unclean and draws down the holy. Beauty, penance, charity—all rising in one thin plume. Demons hate ordered scent. They hate anything that reminds them of the heavenly liturgy they lost.Not some vague "vibes," anons. It's ontological. The created order groaning to return to its Source. What are you actually burning, and where is it carrying you?Pic related: thurible with incense, light through the haze.Discuss like men who haven't forgotten the transcendent.

>>42685032>and in every serious spiritual traditionI have never once seen in a Vedic text that incense is a soul ascending.Can you show me where you get that idea?Otherwise I will have to think you've made it up.
Why did you make chatgpt write that for you instead of just writing it yourself without all the retarded chatgptisms?
>>42685032You're larping or a Christian whose religion has no spiritual value. Anyone not larping can tell you what incense does to consciousness and mind. And it has nothing to do with prayer.
I like to scrape off and collect pine resin. I feel like it helps my rituals and meditations to use the "locally sourced" stuff. And spruce resin when I want to make a bad smelling offering. Tell me about those classic resins like frankincense and myrrh, is it worth ordering via the demiurges botnet?
>>42687093Frankincrnse and myrrh are base ingriedents.Frankincense (olibanum) is more often used. Myrrh is spicy, with hinys of sweetness and bitterness.These are just the basic ingredients.Sometimes, we add rose.Some parishes add cinnamon, benzoin (smells like vanilla) and other types to add spicy to the scent.In the east meanwhile, use myrrh and sweet smells infused in the frankincense, Athonite style.Rose, jasmine and lavender are also used when it comes to the Theotokos.Even outside of Christian traditions, incense is widely used. Including ancient ancestors. The pagans, hellenic and some used dragon's blood.The hindu, Buddhists and Zoroastrians use sandalwood.And the ancient Egyptians used Kyphi, a blend.Others used by ancient Europeans are Amber, Juniper, Pine, Fir, & Cedar.Celtics used sweet woodruff and mugwort.>>42686789Vedic also used incense. Jasmine, cedar, ghee.Therefore, incense is not just Christian. It's also used among the other religions.Let's just say you can make the incense granules yourself, what blend would you consider worth making?
>>42687252>incense is not just Christian.No one said that, moron.>In the ancient liturgy of the Church and in every serious spiritual tradition, that fragrant smoke isn't empty symbolism—it's the soul ascending.This was the claim I shortened to my contention.MAYBE it's a thing in your sect of Christian.But the idea of incense being a soul ascending is not there.No one said other religions dont use incense.I asked for a citation of the idea of incense being a soul ascending in Vedic text.you failed to give one.Want to try again?
>>42687265Are you fucking retarded?What are you going on about ? You think incense literally make your soul ascend to heaven or something?Leave op alone you fag
>>42688063>You think incense literally make your soul ascend to heaven or something?No, that is what OP posted that I am disagreeing with.Especially the part about it being in every religion.This was OP:>In the ancient liturgy of the Church and in every serious spiritual tradition, that fragrant smoke isn't empty symbolism—it's the soul ascending.That seems dumb to me, and I know it isnt part of my tradition, but the Vedas are huge and maybe some fool wrote that somewhere.Except OP of course could not deliver.
