Those in "spirituality" tend to automatically assume the spiritual is somewhere "out there", disconnected from material reality.
At best, that it's "another layer".
No, it's right here. A lot of these things can be explained in physical, scientific terms, or will be soon.
Ecstasy (ἔκστασις) means "standing outside of".
Modern ideas of Dionysus misunderstand the wisdom in this: facing external reality beyond your preconceived notions to find wisdom, as well as Theurgy.
They took ideas of Hedonism and "questioning society", and ignored the rest.
The Ibis bird was sacred to Thoth, as its rhythmic pecking in the mud was like dipping a pen into ink.
An epithet of His is "he who increases", alluding to the crescent Moon (the Ibis' beak), and to Lunar calendar knowledge, essential for agriculture.
Have a blessed Monday.
In reason and theology, we find out *what* God is, which is knowable.
In direct experience, we commune with *who* God is, which is ineffable.
Replying to @VitalTelos
yeah rationalism can never encapsulate God fully I suspect, because dynamical infinite form is by definition beyond what can be fully mapped, as the meaning itself implies an ever changing substrate with continuous unknowable potential
which is why I said that it’s impossible for existence to be a simulation - does that make sense?
but I get where you’re coming from, it’s where I started, I also intellectually thought my way to everything at first, like in the end of my 2 years where I was intensely practicing buddhism it was a process of studying and making mental connections, and eventually the logic compounded like crazy and it was like a chain reaction of connecting everything that I couldn’t stop and was compulsively following and it was in tact with mastering my samadhi that I did that and reached my first nirvana experience which was like an awakening that ripped me open and then from there I began having those divine experiences which could not be rationally contained
I mean I still try my best to intellectually translate my experiences in order to ground my sanity, and that’s where a lot of my research and knowledge on electromagnetic fields and higher dimension physics and superdeterminism and so on comes from, things I studied to be able to create a coherent map to translate my experiences
Correct.
Now let's get to work, we have some stables that need cleaning.
time is non-fundamental
the laws of thermodynamics state that energy cannot be created nor destroyed
this means that existence itself is an uncreated holographic mesh of causal sequencing
an egg that incubates life in a sense
not a simulation.
but a super-deterministic exploration space of dynamical infinity to eternally evolve into higher orders of complexity
life is inherently biased towards self-preservation and greater orders of being
the universe is inherently biased towards expansion
this means that existence is not cold or indifferent in the classic nihilistic sense
that existence itself is biased towards the evolution of life
that the purpose of existence itself is for life to grow
that there IS INHERENT MEANING TO EXISTENCE
it is not meaningless, just like randomness is not ‘real’, but rather a heuristic for chaotic sampling
the meaning of existence is the eternal becoming of life
that perhaps we are not some meaningless specks of dust in the cosmos
perhaps we are the main characters of existence itself and all of this is for us to become more than ourselves and lead life to the eternal tune of higher purpose
that’s the meaning I have found both empirically when observing the objective underlying mechanisms of life and physics, as well as spiritually in the meaning of higherdimensional spirit and God
God loves life, and our consistent evolution and becoming is proof of this love
for even love itself between two people is an evolutionary force of procreation that seeks to sequence a higher and higher order of man’s potential
