I had a weird experience in bed last night where my heart opened and I realised I am sincere. That I really do want what's best for humanity or something like that. Rather than say, the Ego decieving me.

Also, I've been playing a lot of 999 by Kotaro Uchikoshi. It's a visual novel that has a lot of references both to Egypt and to the number 9. So there's some more synchronicity.

Just about 999. The Steam version uses two modes, Adventure mode and Novel mode. You start off in Adventure mode. But if you want the true DS experience you have to switch it to Novel mode to get the full verbosity of Uchikoshi's vision. In all honesty, you don't lose much by playing in Adventure mode!

If you aren't too far I'd consider trying to switch to the physical DS version. There are things that aren't gonna hit right on PC.

I'm going to copy out a paragraph from the entry in the course in miracles workbook I read today. "Listen in deep silence. Be very still and open your mind. Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sights and sounds of this insane world. You do not live here. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to reach God." Course in Miracles, The Workbook, Lesson 49, Paragraph 4. Prurient Squid fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Mar 20, 2024 |

For the first time I actually took the workbook exercise seriously today and followed it to the letter. I meditated using the mantra "I am sustained by the Love of God" for 10m in the morning and then for another 10m in the evening. I enjoyed the fact that I was engaging with the text throughout the day. It's like making friends with the book.

It kind of reminds me of my own religious practices and forays into divinity, which I was intending to share. I have a thread about them on SA in the PMF subforum: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4055383 Obviously I find it very rewarding and powerful, but a caveat- it's mainly my own personal faith (with some syncretism with other important faiths/philosophies to me). It has very little/nothing in common with most forms of Christianity. I invite everyone who wants to do so to read it, regardless of their personal beliefs, but I felt like that warning was necessary, since I know well how important faith is.

To do it a bit in reverse, here's a Jewish country song whose melody may be familiar to those from the tri-state area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VinfJSac5Js

Did the writers of the New Testament favor the Sadducees or the Pharisees more when they wrote about them?

MeatRocket8 posted:Did the writers of the New Testament favor the Sadducees or the Pharisees more when they wrote about them? The Sadducees are barely mentioned in the NT. They were Hellenized and collaborators with the Romans so they got pretty short shrift. They didn't believe in resurrection, so they were all sad, you see. The Pharisees, on the other hand get a lot of press in the Gospels. Most of it negative, however. Jesus rips into them regularly for not living up to the ideals of the Law and their status in society. So there is admiration for what they ought to be, and impatience with what many of them were. Paul was a Pharisee himself, so they generally come off more positively.

MeatRocket8 posted:Did the writers of the New Testament favor the Sadducees or the Pharisees more when they wrote about them? Neither is the best answer, but it definitely devotes more time to talking poo poo about the Pharisees. It's worth pointing out a few things that might help you understand the political landscape a bit more. First, those weren't the only two groups within Second Temple Judaism, there were the Zealots and the Essenes as organized groups, and plenty of unaffiliated preachers like John the Baptist running around to boot. Second, most people wouldn't consider themselves members of any of these groups, it's not like modern times where there's a lot of ideological sorting happening. The vast majority of common folks were just trying to get by and didn't care about theological arguments. Third, the Sadducees ceased to exist either with the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE or shortly thereafter. Because their whole thing was that Judaism is all about the Temple, once the temple was gone and obviously wasn't going to be rebuilt, that was basically it for them. At least 3 of the 4 Gospels were written after the destruction of the Temple (Mark was written either right before or immediately after, it isn't settled) as were a number of the other New Testament books. The Pharisees continued to be an organized movement and so any conflict that Jesus may have had with the Sadducees wasn't as vital as one with the Pharisees, who were still around. Given that, it makes sense for the writers of the Bible to devote more time and energy to attacking Pharisaic teachings and actions than Sadducees, though I do think that Jesus disliked both.

Azathoth posted:though I do think that Jesus disliked both. One of the historical Jesus scholars has Paul’s collection and delivery to the temple leading into the events setting off the war. Then the more Greek thinking Jews are distancing themselves from the more traditionally Jewish Jews and scrubbing how bad the temple offering went entirely from the documents because of the war and all the crucifixions by the Romans .

Some people say the Christians of the time had a prophecy Jerusalem was about to be destroyed and left the city before the siege, which didn't exactly endear them to the other Jews.
