I've heard this time and again; something of Mohammed promising 72 fair-skinned, broad-eyed and eternally perpetual virgins that do not urinate or defecate.
How did this idea come to be? In terms of second wives, I cannot think of it being rooted only in polygamy and perversion. From my...
Thank you so much for the resources. I'm far too late for this study group but I'm thankful for the material.
I'm obsessed with learning linguistics and it blows my mind how so many English words come from translations of other words. English (a Germanic language) consists of 60% Latin and 30%...
I totally get it - different lifestyles, world views, values and thus through these expectations result. My closest friend had a couple of divorces because of these things.
It takes in both patience and control over emotions to talk things out and it takes a willingness to admit fault and to...
I've read one sermon about this. One day to the Gods is something like several hundreds of years or more to us. It's a span of time so beyond our physical/mental capacity that one would require immense spiritual ascension and advancement to even come close to having an idea.
It can be easily...
signature my bad. As well that's something I've heard somewhere but I can't confirm it. I can't think it not possible though considering the many advancements in science; mechanics, computing, etc. Who knows what the future will be like other than our Gods. I'm much at peace considering that our...
One error in my comment there, my bad.
Subonscious is the "psychic" seat of the soul.
I wonder why the ancient Greeks used mind/soul as one word. It seems much that the soul and our consciousness (being/I am/whatever the word) are one somehow. I expect greater understanding would require...
I love your input and cannot agree more. Sometimes it can seem like the bad outnumbers the good in our physical, mental, psychological which effectively combines 50/50 of logic and emotion/soul/consciousness. Any one of us here could take a look at psychology today and see its highly lamentable...
I'm very glad I came across this thread. I must agree that it's easy to indeed become entrenched in the 'black and white' of things; how the calendar system has changed in various ways throughout the ages. It's beyond my understanding truthfully however I do think that Egypt's original lunar...
I love your detailed response to this thread and I thank you for it.
There's a question bugging me though. Is the physical body not at its core an extension of the soul? Or is it separate? If someone living loses their soul would their body also perish?
I used to think they were one in the...
PS - My apologies for the quotation marks on Satanism. Those weren't needed and I'm not sure why I would think to put them there. I get too crazy with those things sometimes for some weird reason. :-/
I always used to think that Sumerian was the first known form of "Satanism" but this is likely due to Christian programming and movies such as the Exorcist which featured in the opening scene a Pazuzu statue (Babylonian origin). Somehow I felt a knowing of that as a young child... born "evil" I...
I think the most important thing is how you feel about it. What is your perspective on negativity?
It should rather be looked at from a point of neutrality and growth; something that is not inherently good or bad but just is.
A sad song and even an angry song can all illicit positive emotions...
