Haribol

Sing the name of god : ) Reason I went for it, is because I believe that music, glow and inspiration is the most fun and effective way to spread the good news.

So, I feel strongly that this is where I’m supposed to learn about, and that it would benefit (forgive my arrogance) us if come to a better understanding of these planetary energiers. But I think it would be more proper to ask you what these things about, instead of me writing a borderline scizho essay. Appreciate you.

Could I change to Haribol, please

Could you expand a little on the binding and unbinding aspect, please? On Odin: The name gandalf from lotr is taken from Voluspa (prophecy of the seers). Gandalf start outs as Gandalf the grey. Not to different Odin, the wanderer with a stick on a constant search for wisdom. There was no thing he was not willing to sacrifice for wisdom and protection of is kin. After Gandalv the grey died to Balrog, he was reborn as Gandalv the white. Pre-reformarion, we norsemen referred to Christ as «hvite-krist». Odin to sacrificed himself to himself: Odins quest for the runes @Nungali thanks a lot, I’ll get back to you after reading it : )

is this a form of kundalini?

So, fellow bums. A friend of mine created and host podcasts (isckon Oslo on YouTube if anyone is interested), mainly focusing on the Vedic tradition. He wants to create one on kundalini, and asked if had any thoughts on what we may bring up. I don’t, as I hardly have any idea what kundalini even is, but I suspect many of you know a lot on the subject! One interesting aspect, I think, would be to find and compare it with similar processes and experiences outside of indovedic tradition, as I assume that it is pretty universal? Any thoughts on this, on anything else or perhaps questions that could be brought up on the podcast? Thank you

Even more synchronicity, I was about to throw Odin and Toth into the mix as well, but was a little a out of my depth. But Odin is the god of the runes (magic/mysteries), a shamanic figure (his name means divine/inspired fury or something along those lines) and is the god of the berserkers/werewolfes and kings. The amount of European nobles that thraced their lineage to Odin during medival times, is countless. He also has two brothers, Villi and Ve (Will and the sacred/temple), so perhaps there is som alchemy going on here. Yet another curiousity, I’ve recently developed a great friendship with a pilgrim and archeologist named Bård. If you look in to the etymology of that word, it is the same as boundary and to bind (as in binding the ingroup together). That bind and boundary are so closely related, seems paradoxical to quite a few, I think. It once did for me, as well. But now it makes perfect sense: a nation without a border is not a nation. Ofc, if you have eyes to see and hears to hear, everyone is welcome. But if there are werewolves running around I’ll lock my door… I’ll make an exception for Proffesor Lupin tho. If he has taken is elixir, that is.

Wondering to put this here on in the Christian forum, but since Paul said it perfectly, and there is nothing to substract or add to it, I’ll just share it here: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1 Corinthians 13&version=NIV

I dont know who you are, or how you work, but I do know you deserve a thank you, my beloved bums 🪷

Endorse!

Spiritual Paradigm of Chess Part 1 Some religious Comparisons Spiritual Paradigm of Chess Part 1 : The Chessboard is familiar to most and is illustrated below: In making a study of this analogy we can demonstrate that games can have multiple co-existing levels of interpretation. In this article we attempt introduce the concept of how chess might relate to the spiritual journey. The use of Tarot where appropriate has also been integrated to provide further graphical analogy to chess symbolism.In the diagram below we can see the analogy between the game of chess and its two armies and the battlefield of the Hindu text ‘The Bhagavad Gita’ and in this scenario confusion reigned in Arjuna’s mind. Should Arjuna participate in the terrible carnage of battle & was it proper to destroy one’s relatives for the sake of a kingdom and some pleasures? Would it not be much better for him to surrender everything in favour of his enemies and retire in peace? As these thoughts rushed into his mind, a feeling of despondency overtook Arjuna. He had no enthusiasm to engage in this battle. Letting his bow slip from his hands, Arjuna could do nothing but turn to Lord Krishna for guidance and enlightenment. The conversation between Krishna and Arjuna then forms the basis of the book. This is very symbolic of the true spiritual journey where we often have to choose between our friends and sometimes our family if we want to devote the time we need to our spirituality. Those closest to us quite often resist any change within us. It also dispels the notion that the spiritual path is always a peaceful one although the prize is a peace and stillness beyond measure in the infinite stillness of God. This analogy of conflict on the spiritual path is not confined to Hinduism.It is also illustrated in the Bible in many areas for example in the Book of Revelation with the four horses of the apocalypse: Again there has been widespread misinterpretation of this being an outer conflict with religious Christian fundamentalists, and also of many churches unable or unwilling to unravel its true meaning; the red horse = emotions, black = intellect (the mind is blind to the light of God), pale = physical and the white horse = spiritual. So we can see that introducing this topic the battlefield of chess has some direct comparisons to religious texts. In the next section we will take a look at the chess board itself in greater detail and a closer look at how the principles of the game may relate to our spiritual path. https://www.esotericmeanings.com/spiritual-paradigm-of-chess-part-1/

Today I took a tattoo at what I’m pretty sure is a brothel opera. There where many beautiful young women there and the tattooist, as well as dolls of flamingos 🦩 and other suggestive references. It was a very nice atmosphere, not for a moment did it feel creepy, exploitative etc etc, so all good. We were all humming the melody to Tom’s diner. Ofc, it IS a great song and it IS ALWAYS NICE TO SEE YOU. but now that I am home, I got a little curious if there is more to that song, so I googled my way to this https://ig.ft.com/life-of-a-song/toms-diner.html Always nice to see you 🪽

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!

Anyone knows anything or got some reflection on Lucifer, Christ and Ahriman?

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.
