  1. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    Sagelike shitposting on FB if you in the mood for more cant upload, so you’ll have to live without those memes I’m afraid. You’ll be fine šŸ™
  2. I’ve started listening to the three part podcast series, and figured it would be of interest to others here. On their website, I was only able to find part 3 (https://shwep.net/oddcast/coming-back-for-more-part-iii-platonism-and-reincarnation/?fbclid=IwdGRjcANd3mtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHukLNbA5b4WMg5ecm3DpyhFeSFOYJSqscBecUnZup9DfsYeFlrFVGRKVrORT_aem_Gyh4t9iUyoU6o1mROWWFaw) but on apples podcast app I found one and two: https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/oddcast-episodes-the-secret-history-of/id1546258521?l=nb&i=1000711146259 https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/oddcast-episodes-the-secret-history-of/id1546258521?l=nb&i=1000715410403 Hope to hear your reflections!
  3. Spiritual warfare

    Anyone knows anything or got some reflection on Lucifer, Christ and Ahriman?
  4. Quote from the article: Further, he is haunted by the words of Shimada: "The sword is the soul. Study the soul to know the sword. Evil mind, evil sword."
  5. My father (59) got cancer

    Once again, a big thanks to all of you. Met him today, and I do suspect that the well wishes of the wizard bums made a difference in him, truly.
  6. My father (59) got cancer

    During the last year or so, it started to dawn on me that my childhood and family situation might have been quite a bit harder than what I had been willing to admit. Three months ago, I told my parents that I needed sometime without contact. Today my mother called and told me that my father likely have cancer. Strange thing is, I didnt really feel anything at all the first hour, but sent him a message that id call him shortly. During the trip home, my perspective thankfully changed a little. He is a good man at heart, no doubt. And he wants the best for me. And he has had a really hard upbringing. I do love him, in the end. We all (the family) love each other, and do our best under the given circumstances, even tho we might not always know how to express that love. During the call, he told me that he did have cancer, but didnt know that much more untill tommorow, when he will call me back. He seemed to be taking it in good spirit. Ofc it is not good news, but worrying about it will do no good, he told me, before saying that what was in store for me was more important (for him) than what was in store for himself. That is his character. What will I say when my kids ask me who my daddy wasI thought about it for a while and I'm at a lossKnowing that I'm gonna live my whole life without himI found out a lot of things I never knew about himAll I know is that I'll never really be aloneCause we gotta lot of love and a happy home I used to practice with my mommy on the pianoI still get nervous every time I know she's at a showNow my family comes first before everyoneI had the perfect dad I wanna be the perfect sonThough I really feel sometimes I am on my ownI know I got a lot of love and a happy home I hope this thread might help you in remembering what truly matters in life, and perhaps some of you might include him in your prayers. Take care.
  7. I see it as this: think of Hercules vs. Hydra, right. If you cut one of the necks of, another one grows out. You kill the Sith Lord, the apprentice takes over. You need to hit it in the heart. Love conquers all. That said, Christ came with a sword after all. If you see evil being permitted against yourself or someone else, and it is in your power to stop it, stop it. But we need to be careful not to become the evil we try to overcome.
  8. My father (59) got cancer

    Thanks a lot. My hunch is that they will put their faith in the public healthcare system of Norway, but as we get more information, I’ll give him a call and reach out to you on PM in case it get relevant.
  9. My father (59) got cancer

    Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Yesterday my cats, who are not in the process of pushing things over, pushed one of my statuets to the floor and it broke. Somethines I wonder if there is something symbolic in events like this: My father
  10. I have been going to various conversation groups recently, where we discuss concepts with in various traditions. This week I went to a Christian meeting, where sin was the topic of discussion. On of the participants asked if it is possible to be happy while living in Ā«objective sin,Ā» whereby I said that I don’t believe there is such a thing as objective sin or morality. What’s your thoughts on this? The above is the subject of discussion here (although you ofc are free to write whatever you’d like), but I’d like to share some beautiful takes shared in that ring. One of the participants said that there are no rules to how to play a guitar: you can just pull the strings randomly and without purpose, but to create beauty there need to be a… harmony to it, a method. We also discussed what sin is, and one of the members defined it as behavior that distances us to each other and to the divine.
  11. Kundalini podcast - asking for input

    Also, Id like to add that Andreas (who runs the channel) has expressed his gratitude for all your contributions : )
  12. The Imagination Project

    @Nungali sent me this years ago, still treasure it: šŸ’›šŸ¤
  13. The Imagination Project

    Absolutely wonderful thread idea, @Encephalon. I think it is that very imagination you refer to that is our superpower, and gives us the ability to inspire, tell such wonderful stories and beauty. But we are told to reject anything that is not very… physical and materialistic in nature, I feel. At times we are even told not to trust our own eyes and judgement. Its like your opinion is not valid unless you have a tittle before your name, a white coat or write for some Ā«legitimateĀ» newspaper. So I think I would attempt to use that very imagination to try to inspire and reignite that belief in oneself and inner fire we all carry. How exactly, I am not sure right now, but I feel like people and situations are being presented to me in a way that consistently sharpens these skills. Also, I want to write more, and expose myself to a diverse sets of worldviews and people. As well as following this thread 😁 We will figure it out, I believe.
  14. apathy in any realm brings other realms down

    I am starting to think that it might be so. How or why or by whom, I have no clue tho. Do you?
  15. apathy in any realm brings other realms down

    Yeah, you are probally right about that. I also fully understand that people here don’t want to make it political, and I respect that. But I do object to a system that presents itself as open, free, protective and tolerant, than poisons our food, throw you in prison for protesting and lies to you constantly so they can sell you more poison. Boundaries and rules is one thing, not being able to defend your position and turning to gaslighting instead is a whole lot different. If the warmongers told us that they didn’t give a f about us instead of pretending to protect us, I’d prefer that.
  16. apathy in any realm brings other realms down

    I’m sure he means a lot to loads of people, and have made a real difference to others. In addition to this, he is also voicing his opinion, in this very thread.
  17. apathy in any realm brings other realms down

    Cencorship is at least, if not exactly violence, a tool used by those who benefit and push violence and other forms of evil. It is oppression, almost by definition, and the only reason they use it is because they know their ideas and actions a indefensible. Without indoctrination and the suppression/vilification of various opinions, the whole house of cards would collapse in a heartbeat, I think. Makes me laugh/cry when people talk about opinions that are a «threat to democracy» or missuse of free speech and that sort of thing. In academia and the media, we are only free to speak our mind as long as our mind is aligned with the interests of the archons. To give the devil its due tho, in a twisted way it is impressive to see how they have managed to create a prison cell with no bars.
  18. Spiritual warfare

    So I am doing some writing on spiritual warfare. Planning to make it into a book, but for now it is just some drafts and notes. Anyhow, I was thinking about swords. The sword in the stone, Excalibur, seizing the sword, sharpening it, the doubledged nature of it and so on. Anyone got some thoughts for inspiration? (On its symbolism, perhaps that of other weapons as well; Odins spear, thors hammer, Krishna’s four weapons, Jesus coming with his sword etc etc.)
  19. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    Yeah it is a tradegy, no doubt. But my god is it fascinating: and at times bizarre: Sometimes even wholesome: With nungali as the narrator tho, I have hope.
  20. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    Well, as fun as it was, it ended a little anticlimactic. But while you’re at the Portuguese coast… To be continued?
  21. Should I read more

    Id rather live a book, or write one, I think. But reading is great as well.

  23. I wonder if you have any insight based upon this: https://ibb.co/mVHgR8Qy edit: I do have the privilege of studying under a kind hearted astrologer, so we will go trough it in detail. I guess I am sort of asking for first impressions, if that makes sense. Also, I am starting to believe my future might lay in teaching; be it to children at school, in the mysteries, helping people out, what have you. Does my profile fit the teaching role?
  24. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    Maybe not the kissing part yet, but the rest šŸ¤šŸ’›
