True breh, all of Abrahams bloodline does not mesh with the true God in Genesis. But history is written by the victors. Again we're God's whomever/whatever that is, avatar's.was the voice in Abrahams head: God? Or his serpent?
What possesses someone to destroy?
As per Genesis 1, does god act through destruction...or through love?
so from my perspective, Abraham represents blasphemy and a living testament to what it does to a man. His entire lineage now per the bible is "special" in the eyes of God. He believed it so much that he considered sacrifice of his first born son in light of current traditions of the time.
However consider logically that there are people and creatures that do not have access to scripture or reading/writing yet the entire jewish belief system begins there
From my perspective Abraham represents an archetype.
Whereas Terah (whose name means Breath of God) was obedient to the rulers and customs of his time period, Abraham sought autonomy from the kings and set many precedents not limited too:
All of these things are superficial, and ironically Abraham was concerned with who his sons married (also superficial if God reigns)
- Singular Property ownership
- Passing down possessions is more important for first born
- Sought to inhabit land that Noah predicted would result in servitude
- Adopted circumcision from Egypt as a covenant with God
Abraham created a movement that says: Do as the Lord commands so that you can better yourself in this world and pass this knowledge to your children.
However the result of this way of thinking is War and eternal conflict and definitely not the Garden of Eden.
The secret to the creation of the Abraham story imo lies here:
Gates of Alexander - Wikipedia
Abraham and his progeny were from the land of the Hurrians which were just south of the Caucuses
It is a good thing that we have the gospel of Jesus, otherwise you will only see God as a means to an end if you were to only consider Abraham and his sons perspective
Yeah like I said we're God's NFTs in his personal metaverse. "Simulation" theory. Which is just theology
The original "God" was the big bang. Our God the Abrahamic God, Jew Muslim or Christian. Is our life giving "Sun" The ultimate most high consciousness. Aliens probably exist but their in their own metaverse "universe" with their own Gods "stars" that gave them life and modeled them in their images, "NFTs". At the end of the day everything is light born from pure energy.

The same metaphor portraying human beings seen from far above as appearing 'like bugs' (כַּחֲגָבִים kahaghovim) also occurs in Bamidhbar 13:33, where Moshah's twelve 'Explorers' report that they had spotted huge giants at Hav'ron (identified in verse 22 as ʿAnoq (a name which literally means 'giant') and his three sons ʾAhimon, Sheshai and Tal'mai)—who were so large that they had 'felt like bugs' (בְעֵינֵינוּ כַּחֲגָבִים vʿeinénu kahaghovim) in comparison to them, adding 'and we seemed the same to them' (וְכֵן הָיִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶם w'chén hoyinu bʿeinéham; although I have here translated חֲגָבִים haghovim loosely as 'bugs', strictly speaking חָגָב hoghov is a species of locust and is one of those permitted as food (i.e., 'koshér') per Wayyiqroʾ 11:22). Apart from anything else, the historical account in Bamidhbar shows that the early Yisrʾelim understood the concept of perspective—i.e., that a distant object appears smaller than an object of the same size that is closer to the observer.

Moshah would not have been able to 'part' (the actual word used in Shamoth 14:16 really means 'split') the water, but on this occasion Hashém told him to do it, so clearly on this one occasion He gave Moshah the ability (and the authority) to split the sea open. On the other hand, it can also be argued that there is only a very fine line separating an imperative from a verb in the imperfect aspect, second person and that the distinction between בְּקָעֵהוּ (the imperative 'split it open!') and תִּבְקָעֵהוּ (the future (imperfect) tense, second person 'you will split it open') is therefore minimal—so it would also be reasonable to translate Shamoth 14:16 as 'hold your stick up and stretch your arm out over the sea, and you will split it open.'
The Torah's account of the Suf Sea miracle is given as follows:
The 'miracle' was not what happened, but when it happened—at exactly the right time for Yisroʾel (and exactly the wrong time for our enemies)!
Incidentally, this is followed by Shirath Hayyom ('the song by the sea', Shamoth 15:1-18), the triumphal Song that Moshah led the Yisrʾelim in singing on the shores of the Suf Sea after their miraculous rescue from the hand of the Egyptian army. If there were any doubt about its poetic language, even the manner in which it is written in a Sefar Torah indicates that it is a poem:
Yeah when I read it again side byside with the Egyptian myth it made plenty more sense
however, based on the egyptian perspective it would mean Moses and his host were fed to Ammit

this is only if you are reading it as a spiritual battle/escape
in a weird way, both sides are correct in the outcome

Bernardo Kastrup has written some great books, and given some great interviews. Highly recommended.

I watched this and digested it and I came to a simple conclusion
descriptive thinking is inherently destructive if you believe in the infinite God.
In essence, God is of infinite forms so everything that exists also is in truth infinite in nature. So to assign finite descriptions is to collapse possibility and ultimately probability. Once you do that, you draw conclusions at an ever-increasing rate that you fail to understand that it's a point-like thought process. So even if you come to a finite conclusion you still can't use it to label existence which is infinite in nature.
So if you say here are some "fundamental archetypes" you limit them only based on your current understanding. When in the broader understanding there could be very fundamental things happening that influence the creation of the ongoing archetype and how you perceive them.
So for health and sanity, we should consider "ascriptive" thinking which is what ancient people thought which only involves considering things and creatures based on their functions alone. Functions unlike descriptions are infinite in nature rather than finite. So in essence a function could change infinitely yet still accomplish its goal output

Why did you walk away from religion/god?
looking around at the world & all it's unanswered prayers* prayers arent necessarily always good though :francis: if you look at it my way from my perspective, all the prayers around you are actively being answered :sas1: We are living in a world of illusion

Yes I think this is why we're told to turn our back to our problems, and some mystics and gurus will tell you not to focus on "how." It destroys potential, collapses realities etc. You make the thing bigger than yourself therefore it seems impossible to overcome or get through. Do not give things more "thought" than is necessary, a thing just is. Lower it's importance and you can conquer it.
I think everyone probably has an example or experience where you "gave up" or "surrendered" to a problem and just faced it and it just disappeared/evaporated almost. You were worried for nothing.
Matthew 6:25-34
The kingdom of god is above (beyond) thinking.
Isaiah 55:8-9

This is what Neville Goddard taught and was taught by his teacher Abdullah
Taosim is very similar as well.

Almost like truth can be sought and found intuitively (inside) and is not only for those of a certain race, history or religion...

this is why I do my best to not be bigoted towards other belief systems because regardless of what they believe, we still have a common God underneath the descriptions
the fruit of the words manifests as the lives we live out, so the words we eat and speak are what ultimately define us.
Matthew 15:10-12
