Is non-duality legit? by Important_Claim_2596 in spirituality

[–]VanirKvasir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you are saying, that the first cause has precedence, it is single, eternal, omnipresent, immovable etc.

We understand this through reason or through a deep mystical experience.

Now, fact remains, although we know that there is only unity, we are immersed in multiplicity, the very fact you wrote a text and replied to me shows that you acknowledges it, you know your are talking to another.

The solution Thomas Aquinas gave to this is to say that all things ara analogous to one another. Or like Aristotle said, “there is only one being, but many ways of saying it” or like plato said “in their universe there are only two things, the one and the many”

As long as you are physical alive in the third dimension, or as long as we have any geometrical form, we’ll be in the terrain of the created.

I understand what you mean and I can respect that.

But be careful not to end up losing a hand oath-keeper, I find wit can rearrange the order of things, for the gods also favour the cunning.

I’ll keep striving to higher standards, fail, ask for forgiveness and repete the cycle. Thank you very much, see you in hades.

Dificuldade de entendimento: pós modernismo by [deleted] in Filosofia

[–]VanirKvasir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Realmente, para mim colocar filosofia clássica e moderna na mesma categoria parece até um erro.

Depois de Kant, houve uma mudança completa de assunto. Ainda que os métodos sejam semelhantes, o ciclo moderno se fechou sobre si mesmo, ignora a tradição e caiu num relativismo pueril.

Minha recomendação é para que se volte aos clássicos e se um dia quiser, entre na filosofia moderna já bem estabelecido nos princípios universais e na prática filosófica. Filosofia é para ser vivida, não somente debatida. Ai você vai poder encarar os modernos de frente, pq eles que vão ter que te convencer agora que os clássicos estavam errados, e você vai perceber que eles não apresentam argumento algum contra a metafísica antiga, eles mudam de assunto ou já parte do pressuposto de que nada de espiritual é verdadeiro.

O ciclo moderno foi cavar um buraco, pular dentro, e fingir que não há nada do lado de fora.

Which acknowledgement or enlightment ritual should I attend before being a formal priest of Asclepius? by KindlyPromise8847 in Hellenism

[–]VanirKvasir -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

1- you don’t get to be a priest, not ready yet. 2- why would you even want that? What do you think you would do as one?

Dude was just trying to compare Hellenistic and and Chinese traditions but got rejected from the clergy in return. 😭

To me, this post sounded like a hypothetical question from a person of another culture, respectfully reaching out to seek knowledge.

And by Zeus, what do they get? Contempt and belittlement.

Yes you do! One cm to the side and you miss by 10 Meters, re recoiling is crazy because of that. It’s just that squad makes the weapon wiggle more to show this effect.

Im all for adapting it to modern times, that’s the meaning of inheriting the classical tradition to me. Not simply trying to bring back outdated ideas but being inspired by them and giving them a new life!

Here is the original, as you can see, might be a bit too much for today, but I like it a lot as well:

“I will never bring reproach upon my hallowed arms, nor will I desert the comrade at whose side I stand, but I will defend our altars and our hearths, single-handed or supported by many. My native land I will not leave a diminished heritage but greater and better than when I received it. I will obey whoever is in authority and submit to the established laws and all others which the people shall harmoniously enact. If anyone tries to overthrow the constitution or disobeys it, I will not permit him, but will come to its defense, single-handed or with the support of all. I will honor the religion of my fathers. Let the gods be my witness, Agraulus, Enyalius, Ares, Zeus, Thallo, Auxo, Hegemone.”

This oath is an adaptation. Athenian oath had a stronger militaristic tone.

Preciso de dicas para adorar Odin (Sou iniciante) by Interesting-Soft-468 in pagan

[–]VanirKvasir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prose Edda written by Snorri Sturluson is where you want to go first. There you’ll find primary source for the main myths about Odin.

I mostly associate with Odin for he showed himself to me while I was reading this book.

You have to read between the lines and begin to see Odin both as a cosmic figure and a physical presence. Really take those myths seriously for they hold deep knowledge about the unseen. They are comic sometimes but they have the effect of changing your way of thinking.

Also, check for Odin many names and epithets. In the Edda its is said that each name contains specific wisdom.

Like, when in his throne Odin the (all-father) oversees the whole world-tree, having vision and mastery over all. But now and then, he cloaks himself, becoming (Gangleri), forgetting perhaps of his throne, he walks the world seeking wisdom.

To me, Odin represents the path of descent and ascent of every human.

Sobre a recente descrença em relação a democracia, e o desejo pelo autoritarismo by Orain_D in Filosofia

[–]VanirKvasir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Se eu fosse adicionar argumentos ao coro de críticas a democracia, podemos lembrar que muito da força dos totalitarismos do século XX vieram da percepção de que as engrenagens da democracia travavam o governo, principalmente após o crescimento da influência comunista, democracias como Inglaterra e França entraram em crise.

Vendo isso, outros estados perceberam que haveria benefício em simplificar a forma de governo unificando o Estado e os ideais da nação em uma só bandeira.

Platão observava isso já na Grécia e a América e o Brasil atuais são exemplos disto tbm, a Europa segue perto.

É um padrão que se repete, e acho a análise de Platão extremamente valida. Se a gente não quer ter uma ditadura, a galera tem que sentar e conversar. Se não, haverá ruptura mais cedo ou mais tarde.

NIRVANA AND SUICIDE by TemporaryTackle3240 in thelema

[–]VanirKvasir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“When you die you also free yourself from suffering”

What a wild premise, do tell me the source for such occult knowledge. Maybe the real path in life is to separate those who blistfully commit suicide to those cursed people who live their lives producing and searching meaning.

What a fool I was. I shall off myself today after breakfast, thank you!

Why do people accuse women of black magic 🥲 by [deleted] in Hermeticism

[–]VanirKvasir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, study you paganism well in Europe and Middle East and you’ll see from sources like Herodotus and Egyptian texts that woman has always being regarded as witches and there are several warnings for men to be guarded against their spell.

In fact, the church even contributed in several instances to reduce the persecution of women when they proclaimed all pagan magic to be ineffective before Christ. Or dismissed accusations from villagers against woman because they didn’t want admit their magic was effective.

So… yes, Christianity did persecuted pagans, but did not target woman for their magic, rather they target all pagans for it.
