Could the choice of HP Lovecraft's fictional villains be inspired by the Bible
Nungali replied to Sanity Check's topic in Abrahamic Religions Discussion
I see, so you are not now going off the Bible at all ? - even though you said you were in the first line of your first post . -
I was referring to your statement that '' I think you're all in mine '' So, is it yours or God's ... or do you think we are in a simulation made for you by God ? or just changing tac due to 'pressure' or what ?

Yes ... but it is 'in the field ' of craziness . By that I mean ..... when people do go 'off' these are the type of things they get into in excess and go off about . You view makes more sense if I assume synchronicity are mostly magical oir indicative of something else other than the usual dynamic . When people do go 'off' their issues are usually about synchronicity , UFOs , magic , people out to get them, delusions of persecution, grandeur and special powers . To see that one only has to read .... Daobums Yes all those things have some validity ... but do you not think it is 'interesting' that when people do go off they loose a balanced view on these very things ? Thats why these are not good subjects for the unstable to get into . .

Pointless ? Even if it can explain a process that is specific to your own point of view that might be a biased observation ? if some one asks what is your fav color and you say blue . Then you see a dog with a blue collar and then a blue bus go past , you go ... well, whatever you do when you feel 'synchronized ' ( paranoid, happy , connected , suspicious, multiple universe, illusioned, matrixed ... whatever ) When it just might just be coincidental and a red and yellow bus passed but you never noticed ... but the blue one stood out to you due to your own 'stream of consciousness ' ? That explanation would be pointless to you ? And you would rather walk around being ''synchronized' ?

Then the neighbor and the bus going past must be too , no ? I have to ask, what is your purpose in projecting the bus passing as you have a smoke ?

It might be clearer if you cite the Bible passage description of Seraphim you are referring to . All I know of is in Isiah 6 ; 2. '' 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. ie; How did you get to this monstrosity ? ; Even 'the creatures' (not called Seraphim ) in Revelations might be part inspiration ... this is highly selective 'interpretation ' ; it does say they are ''covered in eyes front and back '' ( Rev 4 : 7 ) does not describe a disc or a single central eye but does say , '' The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings.'' If I was going to pick a sea creature that looked like a Seraphim it would be a nudibranc ; -

Since an octopus does not have 6 wings , encased in fire ( 'saraph' - to burn ) , do not go around singing '' "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory". And since a Seraphim does not live in the sea , eat crabs, have 8 arms covered in suckers , two eyes and a beak ..... I would say , no . I would also ask what the inspiration was in selecting that particular example of a Seraphim ( which in no way represents the Biblical description ! ) in your post - considering the options available . I like this one better ; 'Not like an octopus ' . And Cthulu was not considered to be just an octopus either - Kraken + dragon + 'anthropomorphic form ' . Also, there are things you can do with an octopus you can not do with a seraphic angel -
The silly thing down here is we 'do' ( commercial ) Halloween ( meaning check out women in supermarkets- and others - wear witch hats and false warty noses and drape themselves in fake spider webs ) to celebrate going into winter , ancestor night, feast of the dead and divination ( going back to old times, one needed to know the severity or not of the approaching winter ) ; people decorate their homes and gardens with the same . And now Bunnings have their normal location and space for Christmas deco and lights full of the same crap but for Halloween . BUT we do it on your date , which is the coming of spring here and its natural opposite - a time of renewal, birth sun warm celebration ... naturally, but who cares about that ! Even the people that want to scan your docket at the exit of a department store ( why ! ? they dont even look in your bag to see if your purchases match the docket and most of the time they miss me as I have timed my exit to be behind someone that they start scanning ) alll dressed up witchy poo or like a corpse ! WTF ! Anyway , I get my own 'Halloween prank' back at them ; not in 'Halloween drag ' but 'cool' young guy with weird hair and facial piercings or older lady with garish clothes and make up ... waiting with their scanning gun ready ... me ; '' Wow ! What a great Halloween costume ! ''

Now thats cookin ! I have to insist that food cooked in on a wood stove is way better , illogical, but it is. Specially bread and roasts . I used to have one regarding the warming of my food .... whilst 'on board' - I use the 'take-away method ' ( This gives me the opportunity to tell one of my 'jiokes' ) A man is hungry late at night and against his better judgement he goes into a greasy take away shop . behind the counter is a large untidy woman , she has grease and batter splattered on her apron . The man winces, but he is very hungry ; ''Ummmm , lets see now, hamburger ? Nah . Chips look a bit to greasy , so now . Certainly not a pie .... do you have anything else . '' Woman '' Yes , how about pita pocket ?'' ''What is that ?'' '' Pita bread . I put salad , falafel, hommos ... healthy ! '' Man ; '' Oh, okay then, I will have that .'' Woman ; '' Do want me warm the pita bread fist ?'' Man ; '' Oh .. okay then .'' The woman takes the pita bread , puts it under her arm pit and folds her arm down on it . Man; '' What on earth are you doing ! ? '' Woman ; '' Stove broke . '' Man ; .... ( wait for it ) warning

yeah ... could be that . Or maybe cadcam has good bus services in his area ? Or the other possibility is , that neighbor Cadcam sees each time he goes out is watching for him and then reports in 'Okay guys, Cadcam has come outside to have a smoke ...... roll 'em out ! ''
