Random Thought of the Day

Quote: odiousgambit

for some reason it occurred to me one reason for the success of the Christian religion is the emphasis on God creating the Universe. I was thinking the Greeks and Romans didn't have a god creating the universe? Looking it up, that's not correct, they did, however the Christians borrowing the *emphasis* on The Creator from the Jewish tradition was part of the eventual success, I'm thinking

In Greek mythology, several figures are associated with creation, depending on the specific myth. Phanes is considered the first deity in some accounts and is seen as the ultimate creator. In Orphic tradition, Chronos is said to be the father of Phanes, who gave birth to the first generation of gods and the cosmos. In Hesiod's Theogony, Chaos is the primordial form from which Gaia (Earth) emerges. Gaia then gives birth to Ouranos (Sky) and other primordial deities, who are the ancestors of the Titans.
In Roman mythology, while there isn't a single equivalent to Phanes, similar concepts exist. Chaos, in Ovid's Metamorphoses, is described as an unformed mass from which the elements emerged. Hyginus also mentions Chaos as a source, from which Mist, Night, and other primordial entities arose.
Therefore, the answer to which god created the universe depends on the specific myth and tradition being considered. Phanes, Chronos, Gaia, and Chaos are all associated with creation in different ways

Medical symbol the Caduceus (hijacked by the establishment, aka bankers, aka BIS). ^^^



Homo-sapiens can light up like a light bulb (7 chakras).

In South America they use ayahuasca (contains DMT), a sacred medicine from a plant to speed up the process.

They believe plants are conscious.


The Holy Bible refers to it in coded language.

The Christ is supposedly a special fluid that ascends up the spinal chord.


All across the globe, folks participated.

Ancient remnants of archaeology exist today (snake mounds, snakes intertwined as the medical symbol, etc).

It's ancient knowledge, likely from Druids from Atlantis.


But all that doesn't mean Jesus isn't Christ the Saviour.

Because we were intelligently designed with chakras.

Jesus' crown chakra is depicted as having a halo (aura).


I like to watch atheists take ayahuasca (search for ayahuasca videos).

It'd likely make them swap ideology after the temporary death of the ego.

They might even vote for Trump if he runs again or possibly wear a red MAGA hat, etc.


The ego tries to prevent us from being as One with the Creator.

So it will try to convince us we are separate and not connected to each other.

And to top it off, the key to the Energy is inside, not outside.


Hidden in plain sight.

I won't say anyone is wrong with what they wrote, I'm just saying emphasis on Creator of the Universe was *one* of the selling points.

A friend of mine who has difficulty sleeping and is chronically tired tried "Boost Oxygen" for the first time and after one trial he reports it seems to help him stay a bit more alert.

Sort of subtle in its effects.

Boost Oxygen is a cheap way to whiff a few breaths of nearly pure oxygen whenever you want, it comes in a can.

I told him more trials are needed before concluding that it works.

It's an interesting idea however: taking a few whiffs of O2 in order to make your life a bit better.

This reminds me of trip to Tibet a few decades ago. At our (for Tibet) upscale hotel each guest was given a large bladder filled up with oxygen. They told you if winded take a puff or two. Probably worked way more by the placebo effect than any real physiological effect.

For those who really need supplemental oxygen, the new small battery charged ‘concentrators’ are a game changer. They work by just using readily available room air. No need to buy and refill tanks.

Is he a CPAP candidate?

Yes, but he hates the mask so he's gotten by with having an electric fan blow on his face while sleeping.

It's possibly due to Ai, or algorithm choices, but way too many stories of discovery start with expressions like "stunned to discover" or "shocked to find" as if everything is some groundbreaking thing.

random thought of the night, actually, when I couldn't sleep

the base60 numbering system of the Sumerians must have been an expansion of base6, and thus we still have the use of 'dozen' and 60 minutes to a degree or an hour etc, as has been mentioned before, with the connection to 6

I was wondering if they once had a 6 day week. If using a lunar calendar, from new moon to new moon it's 29 and a half days, all of them knew to thus divide 2 months into 59 days, and a lunar year then being 354 days. But there is this other desire to have the *solar* year divided up into weeks, and 52 seven day weeks makes 364 days.

What if the early, very early, Sumerians actually divided up the lunar calendar into weeks? 59 six day weeks makes a perfect 354 day lunar year. 59 days almost fits with a 6 day week, and 365 too, multiples of 6 being 60 and 366. It could actually have helped influence them to decide to use base6?

Searching the internet says the answer is 'no', that they had the 7 day week the Babylonians had ... however, note that Babylon conquered Sumeria. Nonetheless it appears there is no support in the archaeological record for ever having a 6 day week early on or otherwise, or at least the internet would seem to know nothing about it.

Apparently Julius Caesar's administration was the first to prevail with the idea that the calendar should be based on a solar year, 365 days [the Julian Calendar, which used leap years like today], but divided by 12 months, which I have to note, pretty much disposes of the idea of weeks dividing up a solar year. Even now with our modern calendar, Gregorian, we give up on the idea of weeks fitting properly into things, and accept that without pondering on it or looking at the calendar we have no idea which day of the week the month is going to start and end on.

The Julian and Gregorian calendars differ primarily in their leap year calculations. The Julian calendar adds a leap day every four years, resulting in an average year of 365.25 days. The Gregorian calendar, which is now the most widely used calendar, refines this by removing leap days in century years not divisible by 400, resulting in an average year of 365.2422 days. This adjustment makes the Gregorian calendar more accurate in aligning with the solar year.
