Noble Dust

I didn't need you to tell me that.

I love cheese

Incidentally, I quite hate "scurrilous". It's a word that sounds stupid.

Haha kool broh

The next part that you didn't quote explains this. As I said, I didn't start this thread; I only revived it. I dunno what else you want. Cradle I can;...

If you follow the history, I didn't start this thread, I only revived it. What I'm worried about is the fact that this thread began as a love of words...

I should never had revived this thread.

Glad to see Messiaen appreciation.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. :roll: Jersey seems to have a bit of an anti-theist attitude; I was suggesting that over time that will ebb as he ma...

Oh?

Who specifically?

I've heard tell of cloyingly sweet wines from the area. But the word "sweet", in wine talk, is almost like the word "god" in philosophical discussion....

I'm not familiar with Russian or Crimean wine. I'd be curious to know more.

Georgian wine is a bit of a thing in NYC, but I had no idea about Abkhazia. Fascinating. Hope you were able to imbibe some inky Saperavi or maybe some...

Oh nice, I see you added your signature bolded quote (yet not an actual quote) style. It means nothing.

Everything I predicted will come true. Sweet dreams.

Look at the portion of my reply that you didn't quote:

I'm aware of what you said as well, and now I'm asking you to eat the shit sandwich you already vomited up for me to eat: educate yourself. In due tim...

I'll quote myself: If you're not aware of other theist alternatives to Christianity or Islam, then I'd recommend you keep reading and researching, as ...

If you're not aware of other theist alternatives to Christianity or Islam, then I'd recommend you keep reading and researching, as we all do.

Taking several steps back, it does not follow that because I'm a) a theist and b)not a follower of Jesus, that therefore I would c)"recognize the dang...

Sorry, that was mean

Lol no you idiot

I'm a theist, I don't worship Jesus, and I don't pretend to be a natural theologian. Booyah! Atheist destroyed!

I agree; that's exactly the point I was making. Absolutely; go forth! This thread is a nice refresher on the existence of esotericism, but if you feel...

Yeah, those threads exist, although mainly in the political realm, which I have my misgivings about (political threads take up so much space here, but...

I've read some Steiner, and was a fan of Owen Barfield for awhile. I have Blavatsky's massive book. I'm very interested in this stuff, and have dipped...

I'm just looking at the imagery itself; it's very similar. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Tree_of_life_bahir_Hebrew.svg/640...

Visually the diagram is essentially the same. I guess I’m not sure of the origin of the trinity image. I’m not familiar with much in the way of docume...

Looks interesting. I was asking about something more akin to the link you provided; I'm a novice to the actual history of Judaism in general, so I gob...

I've seen that image of the trinity plenty of times before, but looking at it now, it reminds me of the Sefirot...I wonder if there was any connection...

Do you know of any book form histories on Judaism along this vein?

Fascinating stuff; thanks.

How can you use abstract philosophical concepts to temper your ego? In day to day, minute to minute life?

It's a useless thread, but I think I was 0.77, about the mean. What this means is clearly indeterminate.

To not care what others think seems to mean the process of suppressing the ego. Which is not easy, and not done via philosophy.

My guess is a) you ramble on the voice message app, and b) people's attention spans have lessened. It's a recipe for disaster on your part.

:fire:

I guess we just have different temperaments, or whatever (or rather most people here have a different temperament to mine). I don't find the coinciden...

Ah, more jokes. I haven't read the books I mentioned in the OP, so I was just wondering out loud if anyone had, or had read any other interesting rela...

Lol, what? Thanks though, glad you enjoyed. I think that's the Stalker in my avatar, if I remember correctly.

It's not a religious text. It predates religion in China. Yes, it's used religiously, but also secularly; it's associated with Tao, yes, but again, pr...

I'd suggest consulting it (with an open mind) for a few weeks.

:up:

If you do the research, you'll see that that's not a valid response to this thread.

Some random brain farts of mine led me back to this poem (which I thought I had written like 6 years ago, but turns out it's only 2 years old. I think...

Yup.
