Any of yall into IFA/Santeria?

thanks but no thanks ha*


word

ancient egyptians would lose their mind at the modern world as well

trying to see the current world through the filter of times long gone doesn't seem to be the way ha

*

What if they are aware of the modern world and dwell in it with you and I? Don’t forget they believe in pure unadulterated eternal life…in the duat. From their perspective the spoken world is alive and the flesh world is dead

Indoor plumbing is probably the holy grail

Unlike the asiatics, Egyptians had no interest in being at the forefront of anything

That’s why they said to Aaron when Moses was delayed coming down from Sinai “make us Gods to go out before us”

It’s a telling statement if you meditate on it

In an occultic sense they knew the bullshyt that people try to put on just about anything. It also may shed light on why Jesus said “The son of man must be crucified and in three days raise from the dead” even now I don’t fully fathom or understand…

The statements they put down are not false. Quite true actually .Most religions are people playing around with their consciousness. It was pretty much trial and error until the ancient peoples(Olmec, indus Valley Indians, Egyptians, Sumerians,Hebrews, etc) set up a priest class.



The priests effectively kept track of what drove nikkas crazy and what empowered them. So @kevm3 is correct about it screwing with your mind. I was a stem major, so I dont subscribe to the exact language he used to describe it because its vague and open to interpretation, and generally leads to more confusion.

effectively,

• demons=bad state of consciousness.
• witchcraft= smartDumb nikkas running around in the woods combining religious sht they saw on youtube.

Most of this stuff was cloaked in metaphor to make passing it on to the next generation easier. Imagine explaining Freudian psychology to a peasant. Pretty hard, isnt it? Rather than describe psychological phenomena, its easier to just attach the concepts to dieties and animals. Most of the things we argue about are glorified mnemonic devices.




A more tangible example of what I'm talking about is the lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, zigalini energy stuff people were fcking with a decade ago. You are messing with your neurons and inducing a state reminiscent to schizophrenia. Don't be suprised if that sht doesn't go away.
(I'll continue on my next post)

This is why I take storytelling so serious and have constant rants in The Film Room about the power and importance of story

Stories are one of the few most powerful forms of magic and divine power in this world

Cacs amassed and maintained the power they have largely through the power of stories

Imagine being born on an island where one shaman dictates all spiritual understanding

Then contrast that with America where other people have contemplated numerous “understandings” that you can pick up and digest

Which one would really seem like a box?
