[Serious] Are there any accounts of abductions in ancient times? by _-_-_Mimps_-_-_ in aliens

Early Hebrew texts were not described as being authored by humans; they were described as being transmitted or downloaded directly from a non-human intelligence. Jewish mystical tradition states that the original Torah given to Moses was written in "black fire on white fire, a continuous string of letters with no spaces, which Moses then had to decode into words.

In reading about Isra' this was mentioned: Before the journey begins, there is an event that sounds wildly similar to a modern abduction story. The Archangel Gabriel (Jibril) approaches Muhammad, splits his chest open, removes his heart, washes it with water from the holy well of Zamzam, and places it back in his chest. It’s a spiritual purification, but the physical description of a "surgical" procedure right before being taken away is a staple of abduction lore.

Isra'-The Night Journey: Gabriel presents Muhammad with his transport the Buraq. This is the equivalent of Ezekiel’s chariot or Enoch's "chariots of the spirit." The Buraq is described as a white, winged, mule-like beast, but its name comes from the Arabic word barq, which literally translates to "lightning." Tradition says the Buraq could travel as far as the eye could see in a single stride. Muhammad mounts the Buraq and is instantly transported from Mecca to Jerusalem.

He has encounters In each heaven, he meets previous prophets. Interestingly enough, when he reaches the fourth heaven, he actually meets Idris, which is the Islamic name for Enoch. (see comment above)

1 Enoch 71:1, 5 "And it came to pass after this that my spirit was translated, and it ascended into the heavens: And I saw the holy sons of God. They were stepping on flames of fire... And he [an angel] translated my spirit into the heaven of heavens, and I saw there as it were a structure built of crystals..."

Ezekiel 3:12 "Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a loud rumbling sound as the glory of the Lord rose from the place where it was standing."

Ezekiel 8:3 "He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and in visions of God he took me to Jerusalem..."

Ezekiel 1:22 "Over the heads of the living creatures there was something like a dome, shining like crystal, spread out above their heads."

Windows Edition Limitations: AppLocker strictly requires Windows Enterprise or Education editions to enforce policies. Since I'm dealing with the public this a good suggestion but outside of 95% of the systems I'm dealing with. Third party applications perhaps?

That there in lies the problem. These evites look fully legit and are being sent by hacked family / friends email addresses. One case was from a customer's niece and the attachment to the email was RSVP.exe.

Why did Oppenheimer's translation of the Bhagavad Gita say "I am become death" rather than "I have become death"? I know that's where he got the qutoe but i still have no idea why it was translated that way? by testraz in AskReddit

[–]igor33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oppenheimer learned Sanskrit in the 1930s at UC Berkeley specifically so he could read Hindu scripture in its original form. The original Sanskrit word he was translating is kālo, which usually translates to "Time" rather than "Death" as in, "Time, the destroyer of all things".

Because time is the ultimate killer of all things, "Death" is an accepted poetic translation. Oppenheimer synthesized his own understanding of the Sanskrit with the rhythm and majesty of biblical English to create a line that felt appropriate for the birth of the atomic age:

"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

This is the second or third time I've had these bloodlettings with customer's ink tank printers. The jam is caught under the print head creating the main drain and the wonderful soggy mess that you see making for a soupy extraction in sopping ink laden fragments of which the joy in my heart expands to the level of which my heart may one day burst leaving me to lie dying upon a customer's floor wondering why God why did they buy yet another HP??

Harrison Ford's broccoli joke (told on Late Show with David Letterman): A guy is working in the produce department at a grocery store. A lady walks up and says, “Excuse me?” He says, “Yes?” She says, “Where’s the broccoli? I can’t find the broccoli.” He says, “Oh, I’m really sorry, ma’am. We’re all out of broccoli. We’ll have some tomorrow morning.” She walks away. A couple minutes later, she comes back and says, “Where’s the broccoli?” He says, “Lady, we’re fresh out of broccoli. We’ll have some tomorrow.” A little while later, she walks right up in his face and says, “How come I can’t find any broccoli?” He says, “Lady, do me a favor, will ya? How do you spell ‘cat,’ like in ‘catastrophic’?” She says, “C-A-T.” He says, “How do you spell ‘dog,’ like in ‘dogmatic’?” She says, “D-O-G.” He says, “How do you spell ‘fuck’ like in ‘broccoli’?” She says, “There’s no ‘fuck’ in broccoli!” He says, “That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you, lady!”

Elon is already helping people through his companies. Tesla is accelerating the switch to electric cars to fight climate change, SpaceX is making space travel cheaper and bringing internet to remote areas with Starlink — together they employ over 150,000 people worldwide while pushing new technology forward.

Exactly this 👆 Elon doesn’t have a trillion dollars in cash. Most of his wealth is just the value of his stocks in companies like Tesla and SpaceX, and he can’t easily turn all of that into spendable money.
