I can feel the separation.

For a while now, I've been feeling a strong connection to source.

I felt aligned, in tune, and I saw and felt the Earth and the Sun.

This feeling or state was increased by day for some time.


As we move passed the summer solstice, I can feel it fading.

It's as if the Sun itself were a means to strengthen this bond.

I can still feel it, it's always there, but its as though it is dimmed.


The good news is if I'm correct in my assessment, it'll start growing back again in 6 months.

But I still have to do my part; pray, communicate, love, express myself, connect myself.

If I nurture this bond, and all goes well, then I look forward to next spring already.


Just felt like sharing.

Enjoy the summer.

It can be beautiful.

Tell me more about your sun cult, wait don't bother I've read the bible too...

Sun and son have two different meanings, unless you are fiddling with language for your own agenda, again.

a reply to: QwertyMyself

There isn't source plus you......

What's happening is all there is.

There has never been any separation.

a reply to: CoyoteAngels

Yeah that's not how this works, but keep your dictionary tight or you might drown out there....

a reply to: Itisnowagain

Ive never been to see the pyramids, but I know people that have, and they tell me they really exist.

When such a large segment of the population believes in source, maybe they have experienced exactly what they say they have?

Perhaps you are afraid you are lacking?

Let go the fear, open your mind, and you may be able to experience it too, just like I can jump on a plane and go see the pyramids.

something something mumble salad

a reply to: CoyoteAngels

Who experiences what?

If no separation exists then no one experiences any thing......there's just the one life.

I found this post to be quite refreshing. Although my personal feelings are quite opposite, I think I get the sentiment. Life was hard until the solstice. My luck has been nearly perfect since then. But it ebbs and flows. The universe will do what it does. Enjoy your slice of time while you still know what time means.

Go back and read the OP: a connection with source

That is what is experienced by a very large group of the human population.

Going back for a very very long time.

So I assume you deny that people experience this connection.

I think what that might be saying is you wouldn't have arrived at Monotheism without Polytheistic Sun Worship. Like Ra.

Basically the flow chart looks like this:

The Sun Gods (early polytheistic gods) -> 1600 years of mutation in ideas regarding said gods -> an emergence of a Supreme god concept -> God's Only Son.

To make the jump from Ra (Egypt) to Ba'al or Yawweh (Canaanite or Israelite), the most overlooked God to influence that could be Set, indirectly.

The God of war and storms is to Ba'al what Neptune is to Poseidon. Strong parallels between Set and Ba'al.

And Ba'al is the most important God of Canaanite lore simply because by the time Canaanite became Phoenician, Ba'al was the top God of the Canaanite pantheon, and at odds with other, new, top gods in close proximity. The Israelites chose Yawweh, opposor of Ba'al, and centered on him. But still practiced monolatry.

Phoenicians and early "Israelites" are pretty much sister cultures. Same alphabet same growing preference for monotheism (different characters, different top god)

The early Israelites were polytheistic and worshipped Yahweh alongside a variety of Canaanite gods and goddesses, including El, Asherah and Baal.[8] In later centuries, El and Yahweh became conflated and El-linked epithets such as El Shaddai came to be applied to Yahweh alone,[9] and other gods and goddesses such as Baal and Asherah were absorbed into Yahwist religion

For a long while Israelites just added an extra God to the pantheon, but like Canaanite/Phoenician, became really monolatrous.

Then Judaism took a hard right turn after The Archaemenid Empire defeated The Neobabylonians. Cyrus protected The exiled Israelites and granted them autonomy and the right to rebuild their temple. At that point, all of a sudden, Judaism began to REALLY PARALLEL Zoroastrianism.

Like the concept of "free will granted by a Supreme being to choose between good and evil". The jewish concepts of Yetzer Hatov(good) and Yetzer Hara (evil) are adopted from Azura Mazda.

Other things of note.

www.webpages.uidaho.edu...

It was not so much monotheism that the exilic Jews learned from the Persians as it was universalism, the belief that one God rules universally and will save not only the Jews but all those who turn to God. This universalism does not appear explicitly until Second Isaiah, which by all scholarly accounts except some fundamentalists, was written during and after the Babylonian exile.

The central ideas of heaven and a fiery hell appear to come directly from the Israelite contact with Iranian religion. Pre-exilic books are explicit in their notions the afterlife: there is none to speak of. The early Hebrew concept is that all of us are made from the dust and all of us return to the dust. There is a shadowy existence in Sheol, but the beings there are so insignificant that Yahweh does not know them. The evangelical writer John Pelt reminds us that “the inhabitants of Sheol are never called souls (nephesh).

The main thing about early religions, they all influenced each-other, and all adopted elements of both contemporaries and predecessors to arrive at their own narratives.

In a way, it's just been a weaving mess of morphology and shared concepts since the days of Atum Re and Enki. Everything (between Egypt and Iraq) deviated from those two, and possibly even beyond.

And this is purely a religious history/archeological standpoint. What is known about the timeline for how these ideas spead among people from 4500 years ago on.

LOL

The Sun Son is the Sol Soul of man.

a reply to: Degradation33

I would propose that religion is much older than 4500 years. There is evidence of ritual burial 350,000 years ago.

And I know that western religions and Islam are considered monotheistic, but then, what are angels and demons? Even in the ancient polytheistic 'mythology', there was a supreme god. And lower gods. and some were helpful and good and some were tricksters and bad.

I absolutely believe the stories and belief systems have tangled roots. Even some overlap with Western and Eastern. Particularly in some of Jesus new ideas. His halo was an aura?

Instead of rejecting such an influential facet of being human, spirituality and paranormal belief, I try to find the similarities rather than differences and find I have common ground with most people I meet, instead of just declaring it all BS.

a reply to: Sookiechacha

It is another interesting coink-a-dink. Right along with God said 'Let there be light' and the big bang.

No question. Other early hominids as well. Not even the only species with ritual burial either. Pachyderms do it. Elephants may have moon rituals, how freaking cool is that?

I think, in essence, it's been a long road to define something superstitious mankind and maybe even animal kind has felt since the dawn of itself.

Not one story necessarily right, but trying to refine that seemingly programmed tendency to have a more "bicameral mind", e.g. view emotion and desire as the true will of gods.

It's a very fringe idea, but there seems to be an almost default superstitious manner in the way in which humans experience their own conscious awareness.

a reply to: Degradation33

Do you also believe Sitchin had it right about Enki and Enlil being aliens who manipulated our genes?

a reply to: Degradation33

That is VERY cool!!! No wonder why the Elephants are so highly regarded in India!

And it only reaffirms my belief in source. Elephants are sensitive and smart.

a reply to: CoyoteAngels

Nope. Stone tablets arent exactly out of place for the bronze age. I don't believe anything Sitchin has said ever.

I'll refer you to the late theologian Dr. Michael S. Heiser as to why. He came to my attention when he contributed to this documentary. Also had a website called Sitchiniswrong.com, which hasn't been updated in about 15 years, but it's still there.



It's actually worth the 3 hours.

a reply to: Degradation33

Thank you! I put it in my watch later list.

I saw tablets and cylinderss in the Smithsonian that gave me the sense that the Sumerians were good record keepers. I'd like to see another interpretation of their myths and stories.

Oh that disconnect?
