Most romantic thing in the world to me actually would be if Spock went thru with kolinahr and everything went to plan and he was genuinely fine and comfortable with himself afterwards but he deeply regrets it still bc he realizes it wasn't logical to have gone through with it when he only did it to be accepted and there was nothing ever wrong with him, purging emotions isn't some superior state of being it's just a different mode of existence that is no more valuable than the former, and Jim's wellbeing is still very important to him as his t'hy'la bc mutual relationships are not the product of emotion they are a fundamentally important part of life whether u have feelings or not and Jim does have feelings and it was fucked up of him to damage them over his obsession with fitting in to Vulcan society, and a few weeks after he comes back he tells Jim he loves him softly while tryna calm him down from something and he's like no you fucking don't please dont say that to me it hurts more knowing you'd lie about it and Spock's like I'm not lying I do love you and Jim pulls himself up and looks him in the eyes like ok what does that mean and he goes I don't think it matters that I can't feel emotion anymore when I know what loving you felt like. It's in my core. If it can transcend life, actual material existence then why wouldn't it be able to transcend the emotion itself. Don't you think it's bigger than any of that. I love you because I know I do

#spirk #kolinahr #spock #just losing my mind today over the concept of kolinahr triggering an epiphane about how none of that shit matters how they got it all wrong #kolinahr making u more of a caring person #bc ur emotional problems were making it harder for u to see the bigger picture #and the bigger picture is that emotion was never the problem it was just trauma #its just generational trauma #it was just a little boy on the battlefield seeing horrors beyond comprehension #and deciding that the only way forward is to make emotion obselete #because its just too painful #because emotion makes us do terrible things and i have only ever seen terrible things #and yeah he became more eloquent in his manifesto and disguised his pain as something removed something machine something more than it was #but thats all it was #just a little kid begging for it all to stop #what if surak knew peace could be felt emotionally. that pain can exist alongside it #that u dont have to gouge it out #what then #essaycore

Okay, I feel like I've just had an epiphany- been thinking about religion lately especially in regards to my own polytheism, and I've come to the thought that religion isn't something you "believe" or even something you "do", it's something you are. Like, Hellenic Polytheists don't just practice Hellenic Polytheism, but they are Hellenic Polytheism, the religion. Similarly, Christians don't just practice Christianity, they are it. That is why the argument of "I am a good Christian as opposed to bad ones" breaks down, there is no bad Christian that is detachable from the notion of a bad Christianity. A Christian who is doing "bad things" isn't just doing Christianity badly, but is doing a bad Christianity, and objections made to the religion that center the actions of this individual are valid, because the religion's bad is directly embodied in them.

I think religion is something that you are. Perhaps more than any other identity marker in the modern world, be it sexuality, political allegiance, upbringing etc, religion is more fundamentally what you are because the very issue of divinity is also the issue of personhood and humanity. In terms of my polytheism, I think that one does not just connect with the gods; the entanglement is even deeper than that- your very personhood is what the religion is, and the gods are a part of who you are.

#epiphanic moment lol #hellenic polytheism #helpol #religion #Christianity #theology #identity #rbs if you think this idea is worth sharing are very much appreciated as always #philosophy

Hannukah is Upon Us

written by Will Schumacher

Hannukah is upon us. It is not one of God’s feast days but is called a minor festival just as Purim is. It is mentioned once in the Bible:

John 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

Enoch and Hannukah share the same root meaning “dedication”.

Hannukah is celebrated as the miracle of the oil lasting 8 days as the temple was being rededicated But in a religious sense it is so much more. It is about victory over assimilation. Antiochus IV Epiphanes outlawed Judaism. There was to be no more circumcision, sabbath keeping, torah study or dietary laws. The high priest position was given to the highest bidder who would be loyal to Antiochus IV and Hellenization. As long as any jew decided to follow the rules of Hellenization they were allowed to live. Many who stayed dedicated to God and His laws were killed. A war broke out and the jews dedicated to God miraculously won.

What Antiochus IV did was much like the story of Daniel 3 when Nebuchadnezzar set up an image and made everyone bow to it. You were fine as long as you bowed to it. If you didn’t you were thrown into the fiery furnace. I have posted on Daniel 3 and have shown how it is a picture of the Great Tribulation of the Church Age we are in.

What Antiochus IV did and the events of the Maccabean revolt is a type of the Great Tribulation church age we are in. Jesus refers to these events in Matthew 24:

Matthew 24:15-20 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

The Jewish people loyal to God and His laws fled to the mountains and hills. Many jews would not fight or flee on the sabbath so they were killed. Antiochus IV set up an altar to Zeus in the temple and sacrificed a pig. Jesus is referencing these events in the above section. Jesus then says when these things happen there will be great tribulation:

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

In my mind what Christ is saying is that there will come another ruler who Antiochus IV is a type of who is going to try to assimilate you. Paul says our battle is a spiritual battle and we are fighting against Satan and his spiritual forces at work in the world:

Ephesians 6:11-12 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Jesus calls satan the “ruler of this world”: John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

Something that I have learned from listening to teachings by people much smarter than me is that God’s Word is perfect. There is nothing in the Bible that shouldn’t be. It is all there for a reason. There are no idle words. So when you see something that seems odd or really not necessary you should be drawn to that to study why did God include that.

This again is the only verse containing Hannukah in the Bible, which I believe is linked to the Great Tribulation Church Age we are in where satan is acting as Antiochus IV trying to assimilate us:

John 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

I read this and ask “Why do we need to be told it is winter?”. We know Hannukah is Kislev 25. Strong’s G5494=”winter”. It is also translated as “tempest” in Acts 27:

Acts 27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

I have posted on this story before. It is a Noah’s ark type story. The tempest is a type of the Great Tribulation we are in just as the rains and flood of Noah’s story are a type of the great tribulation. They will only be saved if they stay in the ship-Noah’s ark. Only the ship will be lost. Christ is the ark covered in pitch meaning atonement. He died for us to provide us the Atonement, He is the ship lost. They ate the fourteenth day. Nisan 14 is the Passover lamb as a type of Christ dying for us. Not a hair of their head will be hurt just like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and Luke 21:18 (a sister passage to Matthew 24). 276 were saved. The 23rd generation is the 12 sons of Jacob. This is Israel.23 x 12 = 276

So winter and the number 5494 seem to be a key to the lone Hannukah verse. I looked further at 5494. This is verse 5494:

Deuteronmy 22:23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

I look at this verse and I see a picture of all of mankind. We were virgins spiritually created in the image of God but we chose to eat the forbidden fruit with another(the prince of this world) rather than with our Maker and Husband God. It is similar to Dinah being taken by Shechem son of Hamor and being defiled by him in Genesis 34:2. “Shechem son of Hamor” has a gematria of 666. The gematria of verse 5494 is 2888. Strong’s G2888 =”rulers” is used only one time in Ephesians 6 about the spiritual fight we are in with satan as the ruler who Antiochus IV was a type of:

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This to me was perfect. I have seen the spiritual war of Ephesians 6 and Revelation 9 as the fight against assimilation that the events leading to Hannukah typified. My thought is that since Ephesians 6:12 is tied to Hannukah what is the verse jump? John 10:22 is verse 26504. Ephesians 6:12 is verse 29350. The verse jump is 2846. Strong’s G2846 = ”chamberlain” and it is only use one time:

Acts 12:20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.

At first I was a bit disappointed but then I looked at the story. Incredibly it is the story of the events of Hannukah. Herod is acting like Antiochus IV. He kills James for not assimilating and has Peter thrown in prison:

Acts 12:1-3 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. 2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

Peter is miraculously saved just as the jews miraculously defeated the army of Antiochus IV:

Acts 12:11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. Many assimilated as they did in the time of Antiochus IV.

They called Herod a god. Antiochus IV took on the title “Epiphanes” meaning “God manifest”:

Acts 12:22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.

Lastly Herod died by the hand of God and was eaten of worms: Acts 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

This following quote I copied from Wikipedia. Antiochus IV Epiphanes died by the hand of God and was swarmed of worms in his death just like Herod.

“But the all-seeing Lord, the God of Israel, struck him with an incurable and invisible blow. As soon as he stopped speaking he was seized with a pain in his bowels, for which there was no relief, and with sharp internal tortures— and that very justly, for he had tortured the bowels of others with many and strange inflictions. Yet he did not in any way stop his insolence, but was even more filled with arrogance, breathing fire in his rage against the Jews, and giving orders to drive even faster. And so it came about that he fell out of his chariot as it was rushing along, and the fall was so hard as to torture every limb of his body. Thus he who only a little while before had thought in his superhuman arrogance that he could command the waves of the sea, and had imagined that he could weigh the high mountains in a balance, was brought down to earth and carried in a litter, making the power of God manifest to all. And so the ungodly man's body swarmed with worms, and while he was still living in anguish and pain, his flesh rotted away, and because of the stench the whole army felt revulsion at his decay.” — 2 Maccabees 9:5-9 (NRSV)

Hannukah should be a reminder to us of the wiles of the devil. He wants to assimilate us. God wants to sanctify us. We should have a love for God’s laws. His laws are His heart. When Paul says we are not under the law, he is not saying we are not to follow the laws. He is saying by the blood of Jesus we are no longer under the curse contained within the law. Christ said He did not come to destroy the law, He came to fully show us how to live it. Like the Psalmist we should treasure God’s laws within our heart. We are to be His disciples full of grace and truth.

A dama do jardim de Peônias, por Epiphanic Eponine

Alguns diriam que Rin era uma jovem que nasceu abençoada pela sorte: sendo a única herdeira de uma das famílias mais ricas da região, dona de uma beleza singular e uma personalidade doce como um pudim de amêndoas. No entanto, com um corpo naturalmente frágil e eternamente cativo de enfermidades, parecia que sua vida estava sempre passando por tempestades que hora ou outra a varreriam deste plano. As pessoas com o tempo começaram a duvidar de sua existência, criando lendas sobre a dama que, após os 15 anos, nunca mais foi vista pelos de fora, sempre presa à cama ou ao próprio jardim de peônias. Sesshoumaru, um guerreiro conhecido por sua imortalidade, lança os olhos nas lendas da efêmera jovem, convencido que não a deixaria ser mais um grão de areia varrido pelo tempo.

January 17, 2022 | On Writing Well

I read William Zinsser’s On Writing Well (originally published in 1976) out of interest and out of a hope that my own writing would improve from his recommendations. Perhaps I did learn a few things. In any case, it is fairly highly rated on Goodreads, so at least other readers thought it was a worthwhile read.

Anyways, I found a few (ancient) Egypt mentions.

(a) In chapter 5, “Audience,” Zinsser includes an excerpt from James Herndon’s How to Survive in Your Native Land (1971), which is a book describing Herndon’s “experiences as a teacher in a California high school.” The excerpt includes a “lesson about Egypt.”

(b) In chapter 9, “The Lead and the Ending,” Zinsser includes an excerpt from one his earlier articles, “Thank God for Nuts,” which is about his visit to the National Baseball Museum and Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. He likens his interest at looking at a piece of elm (“a botanical relic”—“the kind of bark [Burleigh] Grimes [a baseball player] chewed during games ‘to increase saliva for throwing the spitball.’”) to that of looking at the Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta Stone is “a stele [...] inscribed with three versions of a decree issued in Memphis, Egypt, in 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty on behalf of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes. The top and middle texts are in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic and Demotic scripts respectively, while the bottom is in Ancient Greek. The decree has only minor differences between the three versions, making the Rosetta Stone key to deciphering the Egyptian scripts” [Wikipedia]. It is named Rosetta as it was found in Rosetta, Egypt. The Rosetta Stone is located, since 1802, in the British Museum in London, England. A replica can be found in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

(c) In chapter 9, “The Lead and the Ending,” Zinsser includes an excerpt from Joan Didion’s piece “7000 Romaine, Los Angeles 38.” After the excerpt, Zinsser writes about it: “What is pulling us into this article—toward, we hope, some glimpse of how Hughes operates, some hint of the riddle of the Sphinx …”. This is yet another example of the sphinx.

(d) In chapter 13, “Writing about Places: The Travel Article,” Zinsser uses visiting Egypt as an example of a travel destination. Were you moved when you saw the pyramids for the first time?

(e) In chapter 14, “Writing about Yourself: The Memoir,” Zinsser lists some memoirs that he “most vividly” remembered reading, one of which was André Aciman’s Out of Egypt: A Memoir (first published in 1980). Out of Egypt is a recounting by “the son of a flamboyant Jewish clan” of “his family’s move to turn-of-the-century Alexandria, its many colorful members, its pursuit of wealth and happiness, and its struggles with anti-Semitic and anti-Western nationalism” [Goodreads]. Perhaps I am way off with this, but the book’s title reminds me of a line from the Old Testament: “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery” (Exodus 20:2).

(f) In chapter 18, “Writing about the Arts: Critics and Columnists,” Zinsser speaks about “true wit.” “It’s far easier to bury Caesar than to praise him—and that goes for Cleopatra, too.” Cleopatra VII, but really any of the others too, were Egyptian, etc.

It makes me feel untold depths of awe and wonder and joy in the world when a small creature such as a cat or dog recognizes that your hands are analogous to its paws. When you put a hand down and they mirror you by tapping their matching paw and such.

The Wars of the Maccabees by James R. Coggins

After the Jews returned to Jerusalem from exile in Babylon and rebuilt the temple and the city wall under Ezra and Nehemiah, there is a gap in the biblical record of about four centuries. During this time, the Jews struggled to survive as a small, weak remnant in a hostile environment. They were trapped between two dueling successor states to Alexander the Great’s Greek Empire—the Seleucids based…

““Now then, I will reveal the truth to you. Three more Persian kings will reign, to be succeeded by a fourth, far richer than the others. He will use his wealth to stir up everyone to fight against the kingdom of Greece. “Then a mighty king will rise to power who will rule with great authority and accomplish everything he sets out to do.
