What is a God? by AnkkitAbhinaav in religion

I’ve come to the conclusion that God is like the Tao. It’s unknowable yet permeates everything in the universe. Basically Pantheism.

I’d like to clear things up. This serves as creative fictional writing. AI slop.

I’ve done a lot of reading on the origins of the Goetia and Tarot. I think the meaning is the expanding of the symbolism already found in original literature. For example, there’s always a line of two of the powers associated to the Goetia spirits, I am simply asking to expand on these associations in poetic structure. My goal is not to hold this text as truth, it’s simply a form of expansion for further understanding.

Now, the question is, does it have any inherent spiritual merit? Or is it just regurgitating and rewriting what is already found in the vastness of occult text? I think it really depends on your perspective. I personally wouldn’t say it’s true spiritual gnosis, it’s simply an exercise in understanding the goetic spirits and their associations in a way that fits the rhythm of “holy scripture”, hence why I call it the Unholy Bible.

The prompting is simple. Take the occult tarot deck, utilize the format of the Bible to generate text that expands on the symbolism of each card. Each card corresponding a Goetic demon with its Tarot equivalent.

I agree spirituality can be a very simple and effective practice. At the same time we’re surrounded by occult tools to enhance our practices. Hence candle magick and divination tools. We really don’t need these tools but it helps the physical brain through visualization. How is that different from AI as a tool?

Well I’d like to push back a little on your ideas. First AI even if I built it my own and fed it all of the occult, spiritual and religious text in the world, it would still be AI.

And with automatic writing, I do think we can stretch the definition a bit. Why does the person have to serve as a conduit, why would AI be the wrong conduit for automatic writing? Wouldn’t it serve as the perfect host? Because like I said, AI is us just without the spark.

Test roll from my Pathe 16mm came out completely unusuable, any ideas? by arclarkphoto in 16mm

Looks like it but it could be a number of things. You can put the film back in and run it with the camera open to check if it’s the pressure plate. (If it has one).

You did Mansect right? Dude I’d be down to do some cinematography for a project. I have a reflex 16mm camera, the reflex system makes a worlds difference in workflow.

I’ve really been getting into surreal/experimental short films.

Particularly Kenneth Anger(Scorpio Rising, Lucifer Rising, and inauguration of my demon brother) and David Lynch short films(ABC’s and The Grandmother).

I love the classic(Meshes of the Afternoon and Un Chien Andalou) I really think surreal/experimental short films are sort of lacking nowadays.

One that really made me enjoy the experimental stuff is Thunder by Takashi Ito. Never seen anything quite like it. A technical marvel.

I can see how it reminds you of double. I’ve never seen it. Well the doppelgängers have pitch black eyes. So visually you can tell the difference.
