  1. Fortelling the Future

    From looking at his link I would say he was Uranian .... right 'up there' with the others from 'Uranus' ... possibly he could be 'up there ' on his own though

  3. Sitchen could not even translate cuneiform ! And what sort of advice or reference is that for Haribol ? What , he has to read the whole corpus of CRAP from Sitchen to find a reference to your c;aim ? Dont do it Haribol ! Bad advice - it will wreck your mind ! (or if you are bored , you could do it for fun ) but remember : AI Overview No, Zechariah Sitchin's theories are generally considered invalid and pseudoscientific by mainstream scientists, historians, and academics, who criticize his translations of ancient Sumerian texts as inaccurate, his interpretations as speculative, and his claims about extraterrestrial "Anunnaki" creating humanity as unsupported by evidence, conflicting with archaeological and historical facts, and lacking scientific merit . Key Criticisms: Linguistic Misinterpretations: Sumerologists and Assyriologists point out Sitchin's mistranslations of Sumerian cuneiform, arguing he imposed modern concepts (like a 12th planet, Nibiru) onto texts that describe known celestial bodies or mythological figures, not aliens. Ignoring Evidence: His theories disregard established archaeological findings and evolutionary biology, presenting fantastical narratives as historical fact. Pseudoscience/Pseudohistory: Academics classify Sitchin's work as pseudoscience and pseudohistory because it's based on flawed methodology and unsubstantiated claims rather than rigorous academic standards. In essence, Sitchin's ideas are popular in alternative history circles but are not accepted as valid within professional academic or scientific communities.
  4. Ye eeeeee eeeee s . I need to be careful with definitions here . IF we call the earlier 'followers' as depicted in the Bible as 'Jews ' than yes ; Judaism was formulated as a state religion and the temple 'cleared' and dedicated to 'one God - YHVH ' and clear monotheism established ... that seems to have been Josiah's work . ( 640 - 609 bc ) . Before that it seemed your regular Canaanite temple with all sorts of goings on in there . We have two choices ; to believe either that they were monotheists who would always, continually slip away from that and get terribly punished and never learn and keep doing it OR they were a blend of people with different Gods and ' at best ' some 'henotheirsts ' ( there are other Gods , yes, but mine is best ) ; in either case the bible itself attests to this . .

  6. My misconceptions

    Then if one is considering its nature 'from beyond' or 'apart from' using the mind (if that is what is meant ) then there must be a faculty beyond or apart from mind to consider it ? or are you saying mind considers itself (it doesnt look like you are saying that ) '' the nature of the mind and eventually identify with this as one's ultimate "self.'' so if mind is supposed to be identified as ultimate self , what is considering this non conceptual or intellectual definition ? or maybe its just the syntax you chose or my misreading ? Are not the first two, products of the mind ? Yes.
  7. Western Origins of Yijing?

    I stopped at ' Japan is west of China... if you row across two oceans' . I can affirm its not . ... and I have rowed from Australia to Portugal !

  12. My misconceptions

    Its often been hard to post an image here lately . yes, 7 and 8 do seem similar , in the western system they would be under the 'invocations' section Ah yes .... little understood that one ! Sometimes I am asked ( usually after a 'session' of 'teaching' ... which is usually just getting bombarded by questions ) '' But what do you do now ?'' or '' Why dont you do that practice anymore .'' - thats the easier answer . I would say , possibly the same with me .... depending on the definition / concept of this 'mind' being talked about . . . and regarding that as the 'ultimate self ' . Very similar to the practice of 'maintaining consciousness center and energy flow through the 'hara ' . I mentioned this training before ; ' Now ... stand up and come over here next to me ..... did you loose your hara ? ... go back and sit then . '' yes it was mostly applied to 'fighting ' training , but after a while it spreads out to other areas . The more you tell me about this tradition the more I like it
