  • Reply to: Hidden Beliefs Covered by the Church? Resurrection and Reincarnation in Early Christianity   7 years 9 months ago

    Wow, are you a Christian or not? I ask because only a Christian would claim that Saul of Tarsus made “heresies,” the existence of which is extremely questionable. For there to be such a thing one has to believe in the same Creator, and in the same way, anf furthermore this belief system would then have to be the same as the one promoted by Constantine as agreat deal of heresies within Christianity owe their existence to Constantine. Honestly, Jesus was never a Christian, he was a Jew. No Christians existed at any time during his life. Even Saul came along roughly thirty years after the crucifixion. How is it that his proclamations were heresies? Was it because they invited the population of the world to join into the faith? Without him, Christianity would never have become a large spiritual following. That owes its entire existence to Saint Paul. Using non-Christian sources for information is a thing I have no problem with, not being a Christian myself, I am merely asking about your own commentary in your post. It seems to contradict itself.

    THere was an alternative to the story of Genesis. HUman beings are mostly supposed to be the product of various breeding (mostly using artificial insemination) of a pig and an ape. THat is why pigs can be used in experiments so well and their parts used in transplants.This happened about 8,000 years ago. This created a fair number of "original groupings." Most of us are complex mixtures. Some like the Lappish man in Iron Sky, which you can see free on the net, more closely resemble their particular original grouping. There are three majors, the second involving Noah and his crew, and the third the origin of The Christ, artificial insemination mostly being unknown in the past. Heretics had this story of n their bikes with a umber of similar variants.

    All lives are part of the One Life, which is the Universe. The One Life is constantly creating new expressions of itself through the media of space/time and all it contains. Life is designed to be expendable. Life feeds on life, even after life. Sometimes one life requires the sustenance from many, many lives to live. This is why it sometimes provides massive numbers. Think of birds and bats feeding on gnats, or whales and krill. Life fills every niche it can find or create, just about everywhere on, and even in this planet. The One Life of the Universe is a force of continuous creation, in order to have new ways to express and experience. You don't 'lose' life. It just changes form, continually.
    Understanding this process is how you respect Life.

    Congratulations, you have successfully spouted the "Christian' line of bulll perpetuated since 325 AD, when Constantine made the heresies of Paul into civil law, the biggest heresy of all time.
    To understand Christian doctrine, you must know something about how it came to be what it is now.
    In all its glory, its warts, and its cancers,
    This is easily traced in well-supported neutral (meaning non-Christian) sourced references and historical records.

    It would be nice to have either photographs or schematics of the newly discovered tunnels as opposed to the stock photographs that we've seen numerous times.

    Your comment is way out of line. I believe he is correct. The "Judeo-Christian' values (which are more Pauline Christian than -Judeo) imposed on this society not only impedes the advance of human caring and compassion, it also attempts to suppress any exploration of knowledge that may threaten their hegemony over what constitutes the proper worship of God. Such has been the case since 325 AD.
    The penalty of non-compliance has always been death.

    Egypt, as one of the beneficiaries of the destruction of Atlantis, was, for awhile, a hub of a worldwide civilization. But it was just one of four: Egypt, India, South America, and China were all major hubs.
    The extant of the Americas has not yet been realized. The Chinese don't share information, so who knows? But Taoism provides a lot of clues. And what little has gotten out about the Chinese pyramids.
    And India speaks for itself.

    At first, I found the 'Triptych'aspect curious, until I saw the graphic with the three cathedrals. At that point, it became real to me. .It would be helpful to know which cathedrals those are, and if other cathedrals share that feature.
    Also those three cathedrals all seem to be Gothic. The Goths had an interesting spiritual life going that most people don't realize. They incorporated many highly advanced spiritual principles into their works, that still fascinate and captivate people across France to Tuscany, to this day.

    There certainly have been previous advanced civilizations. That's plural. Not all of the megalithic monuments came from the same pre-historical period.
    And I disagree that they weren't advanced technologically. One man's spirituality is another man's science. We consider ourselves quite advanced, yet we are technologically incapable of reproducing some of those ancient stone structures. To me, spiritually advanced means that you are in communion with the natural world, as to be able to interact with it. As Baruch Spinoza said (paraphrasing) "God is Nature and Nature is God."
    Any indigenous culture across the planet will tell you essentially the same thing.
    It was through this interaction with Nature, and the help of technology, that they built these amazing structures that have endured for so long.

    Are our structures going to be as durable. Not a chance. We are a spiritually bankrupt population because we have turned our back on Nature, and viciously attacked Her.

    The One becomes Two. And the One, together with the Two, form the Three.
    Hence the Triptych. AKA, The Father, The Son, And The Holy Ghost.
    The Christians have tried to cover it up for 2 millennia, but The Holy Ghost is the feminine aspect.
    The Wife of God.

  • Reply to: Scientists are alarmed by shrinking of the human brain   7 years 9 months ago

    It is widely scientifically accepted theory that our brains grew particularly large due to the new predominant food source once our ancestors were caught in geological and climate change of East Africa. Previously predominantly plant eating omnivores in dense jungle (like other apes), our ancestors encountered life in now dry savanna, with very little fruit and mainly grass or grass-eaters available. Homo Robustus made evolutionary choice of becoming grass eater. Brain did not grow in that species and it got extinct. Our ancestors chose to eat more grass-eaters. Becoming predominantly meat-eating omnivores. By all scientific accounts a positive feedback loop established from this that led to our advance: eating more meat->growing larger brain->using larger brain to get even more meat->even larger and more capable brain...
    What happened about 10000 years ago? Agriculture. Food processing (before that time humans not only couldn't collect enough say, grains from the wild to cover the energy spent in the effort but neither than or now can we eat it without processing). Move to food based more in grains than meat. Certain large amount of proteins in the diet is required for having a larger brain. Now we have different challenges such brain might address but the core of the new change is in the diet, food, not lack of evolutionary challenge and selection.

    The disciples came to Jesus and asked who he was, was he one of the old prophet? Asking him by their names. Asking him if he was Elijah. He said to them, Elijah has come already and then the disciples knew he was speaking of John the Baptist. This clearly shows that they believed in reincarnation at that time.

    "King Philip II noticed her and she became his mistress. Some researchers claim that a few of her children could have been his children as well."

    Just how many children did she have? This article makes it sounds like she had quite a brood. Did any of them go onto be influential in the world?

    I like the way the image of the "statue" was cropped to show the foot, baiting you in to see the rest of the statue, then when you click on the link it reveals that is all there is, a broken foot.

    Nice click baiting

    I would even venture to claim that the Chasing of the Sun lead the Turks to travel Via Scandinavia to reach Egypt first. There were two different Neolithic migrations and the Northern one chased Polar Bears, Whales, Reindeer, and the Sun around the World and touched every Continent in the Process.... The other went west to Egypt...

    Homo-Erectus Beget Cro-Magnon Americanus...Cro-Magnon Americanus beget the Southern lineages...

    We need to remember that Homo-Erectus was more than likely a Seafaring and more intelligent group than we give them credit for. And they were way before Cro-magnon Man. They truly did not Grunt at each other. Based on Native American Sign Language they may have had a system that produced the proverbial "Rosetta Stone" in Sign language and Symbolism.

    Even now...try to win a Baseball Game without this...

    I like your proposed etymology. Etymonline's sounds like a later folk etymology, but perhaps one that is indicative of the term's source... "from the sea." I also agree about IE academics rarely straying much away from PIE or its direct descendants, but I don't think it's purposeful. The burden of proof is high, and evidence of ancient lexical exchanges is often scant, especially in areas of the world that don't have many surviving ancient texts. I suspect it's simply easier and less risky for them to reconstruct a hypothetical proto-word than to try to prove cultural contact. As more discoveries are made, and new finds analyzed, proposed etymologies such as yours for soul may become more accepted by the mainstream.

    “The sun cult in the Nordic bronze age has resemblance to the Egyptian religion," concludes Varberg. "And yes, I see clear evidence of ideas travelling along the same exchange routes as amber and glass."
