We are living in a world of illusion

Although the first words of John's 'gospel' (i.e., Ἐν ἀρχῇ 'At the beginning') are clearly intended to parallel the first word of the Torah (namely, בראשית), this word actually does NOT mean 'At the beginning' because ראשית is in the genitive (or construct) case and means '[the] beginning of [something]'. In any case, if you try to write it in Hebrew it just makes nonsense: for example, the Hebrew translation of the Greek testament by the [in]famous 19th-century apostate Isaac Edward Salkinsohn (1820-1883) renders the last clause of John 1:1 as והוא הדבר היה אלהים (which actually translates as 'and that thing was a god'—that is, an idol!) because the Hebrew noun דבר is the closest thing that Hebrew has to a neuter noun and literally means a 'thing' and is intrinsically inanimate, rendering the λόγος logos concept totally absurd in Hebrew. Still, ignorant translators such as Franz Delitsch (published in 1877) and Isaac Edward Salkinsohn (published posthumonously in 1886) insist on using it; in spite of Hebrew having other, more suitable, nouns such as מלה (the actual word for a 'word') or תבה (which also means a 'box' and is the Hebrew word used for the vessel that No'ah was commanded to construct).

In Arabic the Torah is called "Tawrat"

I tried to fight against the confusion that imaginary words and symbols can breed

But it seems that the very disembodied symbology has blossomed out of control in here.

We think of it as "ironic" but really its a feature of this realm. Happens in all situations (the thing where the action has the opposite effect than was intended). But we scratch our heads each time.

"Huh. I was tryna get these niqqas to do this, but my action led to them doing...

that"

Still interesting. And actually if all these dozens of pages are Brehs building with each other...

did you know that there is the same number of numbers inside the number "1" as there are real numbers?

one of the inherent qualities of words and speech is mental impregnation, meaning once your brain discerns something it cant help but judge it and assign information to it

an idea can literally throw you for a loop

@MMS breh what are your thoughts on the nag hammadi? I thought for sure you could share some knowledge on these gnostic scriptures

I think some of the ideas are worth reading

but there is a reason the bible was sealed

in essence, what stops someone from writing "under inspiration"?

furthermore, can ordinary men truly be trusted to write about the infinite, when they more often than not only can think in terms of the finite

IE chinese emperors would write as if their words could rend the heavens themselves and were literal deities on earth, the result of this thought process is just other kings doing the same

so in essence, the residue of one thought process builds another. Many christian writers from that time do not understand the concept of true eternity and made errors when they wrote (more often than not because of neo-platonism which imo is a plague on thinking).

When a prophet speaks he in essence is saying my echo will live forever.

Keep thinking that life is an illusion and see where you end up

Keep thinking it's not, and see what happens when you face the truth

read about this with consideration to the allusions in this thread

Daedala - Wikipedia

In the lesser Daedala, the people of Plataea went to an ancient oak grove and exposed pieces of cooked meat to ravens, attentively watching upon which tree any of the birds, after taking a piece of meat, would settle. Out of this tree they carved an image, and having it dressed as a bride, they set it on a bullock cart with a bridesmaid beside it. The image seems then to have been drawn to the bank of the river Asopus and back to the town, attended by a cheering crowd.[1]

These adorned xoana were also called "daidala" (δάιδαλα or δαιδάλεια),[2] with the connotation that they were "crafted" or "fashioned" (compare Daedalus, "daidalos" (δαίδαλος) meaning "cunning worker").

After fourteen of these cycles, the great Daidala was celebrated by all the people of Boeotia; and at its start one wooden figure was chosen from the many that had accumulated through the years and designated the "bride". The wooden figure was prepared as a bride for a wedding, ritually bathed in the Asopus, adorned and raised on a wagon with an attendant. This wagon led a procession of wains carrying the accumulated daedala up to the summit of Mount Cithaeron, where a wooden sacrificial altar was erected out of square pieces of wood. This was covered with a quantity of dry wood, and the towns, persons of rank, and other wealthy individuals, offered each a heifer to Hera and a bull to Zeus with plenty of wine and incense, while at the same time all of the daedala were placed upon the altar. For those who did not possess sufficient means, it was customary to offer small sheep, but all these offerings were immolated in a hecatomb in the same manner as those of the wealthier persons. The fire consumed both offerings and altar.[3]

speaking of chinese emperors

a particular warlord (and my favorite character in the "Dynasty Warriors" series) is Liu Bei, the patron of Shu Han who warred with Cao Cao (Wei)

however what he was skilled with wasnt the sword as much as it was the pen. For those who watch I would remind the earlier post that describes the word of God as seed



the thought to consider: Jacob as a personal archetype (scribe in a booth)

I will only speak on the optimism portion, and say that I genuinely believe positive things happen to positive people.

I think people confuse someone being a positive and someone having super high expectations. They aren’t necessarily the same thing, and in fact it rarely is.

Positive things happen to positive people, sure. But people who have expectations that are higher than what they actually accomplish tend to end up being miserable.
