youtube.com/watch?v=u_fJL7… What's your favorite foundational civilizational relic & claim that doubles as a way to shaft someone without them knowing? It's just a piece of wool right

@VeritasAeternii @CoMasonry Basically is Albert Pike a specific genetic combination or a unique identify. Did you ever see Jupiter Ascending?

@ben218 @CoMasonry What do you mean?

DISCIPLINED FORCE BUILDS THE TEMPLE Steam confined within iron becomes the servant of civilization. It draws the engine, turns the wheel, lifts the hammer, and bears the burdens that once exhausted generations of men. The same force, loosed without measure or direction, rends the vessel that contains it and scatters ruin among those who trusted it. Albert Pike placed this image at the threshold of Morals and Dogma because he understood that human power obeys the same law. Passion, ambition, intellect, labor, and the will of the multitude are mighty energies, but power alone possesses no wisdom. Force unguided spends itself in noise, violence, and exhaustion. Force disciplined by law, conscience, and purpose becomes constructive and enduring. The Mason therefore learns first the lesson of regulation. The common gavel breaks away the coarse and needless stone. The twenty-four inch gauge apportions time with order and justice. Before the Temple may rise, the workman himself must become measured, directed, and inwardly governed. Pike saw in steam the image of the modern age: a hidden fire transformed into motion through intelligence and restraint. So too does the soul become fruitful when desire is yoked to principle and strength is placed beneath the guidance of wisdom. The ungoverned man consumes himself. The governed man becomes capable of building institutions, preserving nations, and elevating humanity. Every great work begins with force. Every lasting work depends upon mastery of that force.

@VeritasAeternii @CoMasonry Talk about awkward! Warrants investigating if identity is unique or archetypal?

@AkhilKumarSaho8 @JamesLucasIT It's time to fix the narrative

@JamesLucasIT West didn't produce Homer, Achilles, Alexander the Great, and Caesar. Incorrect narratives.

Napoleon studied Caesar. Caesar wept before a statue of Alexander. Alexander wanted to be Achilles. The greatest men the West ever produced were all trying to become the same Greek warrior... Alexander the Great kept a copy of the Iliad under his pillow. His tutor Aristotle had personally annotated an edition for him. According to Plutarch, when Alexander arrived at the ruins of Troy in 334 BC, he sacrificed at the tomb of Achilles and ran naked around it. He told the priests offering to show him Paris's harp that he had no interest in seeing the harp of a coward. "I would far rather see the lyre of Achilles," he said, "which he used to sing the glories of brave men." Three centuries later, in 69 BC, Julius Caesar was serving as quaestor in Spain when he stood in front of a statue of Alexander in the temple of Hercules at Cadiz. He was thirty-two: the same age at which Alexander had died, having already conquered most of the known world. Caesar wept. When his friends asked why, he answered, according to Plutarch: "Do you not think it is matter for sorrow that while Alexander, at my age, was already king of so many peoples, I have as yet achieved no brilliant success?" Eighteen centuries after that, Napoleon Bonaparte sat for his coronation portrait wearing a golden laurel wreath, modelled on the wreath of Julius Caesar. He carried with him on campaign the works of Plutarch and Caesar's own commentaries. Each of these men was reaching back, through the centuries, to the figure who came first. And that figure was a half-mortal Greek warrior who, when offered the choice between a long, quiet life and a short, glorious one, chose glory. The Greek name Akhilleus is most plausibly derived from akhos, meaning grief, and laos, meaning people. The grief of the people. The greatest hero of the Western imagination is not named for victory or for strength. He is named for sorrow... But that is the bargain: to choose greatness in the Achilles tradition is to choose a particular kind of suffering. Alexander died at thirty-two. Caesar was murdered by his closest friends. Napoleon ended his life on an island in the South Atlantic, looking at the sea. Each of them got what Achilles got: a name that has outlasted empires, and a life that was paid for in full. What drove the men who built Western civilization was not happiness. It was something older, deeper, and harder to name. The Greeks called it kleos: the glory that survives death. Achilles got there first. Three thousand years later, men are still trying to follow him... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

@taijitu_sees 🙏 Still you have a good view from your seat. 🦁

@ben218 Sir, I have a perspective so I'm aware there is necessarily more outside my view than inside of it.

There are people who: Understand Don't understand Understand not understanding Understand?

@Di_Ell_ That's a really poignant way to understand the nature of the bidirectional Pali/Sanskrit I'm researching in Mycenaen Greek. Not necessarily polar opposites. But internal vs external recitation. Which teaches arrival and stasis in that fulfilling middle.

@ben218 Steiner taught that before Christ Humanity was Luciferian. Note: for Steiner Lucifer and Ahriman are two different beings, impulses. If I can do it justice Lucifer = Escape & Ahriman = Materialism. They are two opposites, and Christ is the Middle.

Christian Occultist Rudolf Steiner gave a chilling prophecy in 1921 of what's interpreted as the "web" of "spider-like creatures" that link directly to the World Wide Web, Artificial Intelligence & Robotics. It was his life work to stop this Ahrimanic takeover from happening 👇

The fleece locus has around for millenia. Nothing chilling about threads, cords and bonds creating reality as we know it. Have you met ūrṇanābhi? youtube.com/shorts/QW6EE8k…

@AkhilKumarSaho8 @MichaelARothman You're welcome, if you think of any sequences that might be relevant or make underlying reality clearer let me know; I'll find tablet instances if any exist. It's amusing that I cannot tell whether it's me Ventris, or the Mycenaens who can differentiate between honey and a fool.

@ben218 @MichaelARothman Thanks.

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝟒𝟔𝟑 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒. 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐒. Every time someone trots out the Crusades to lecture Christians or the West, they leave out four centuries of history. I'm putting it back on the record. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 Muhammad died in 632. Within three years, Muslim armies had taken Damascus (635). The next year, Antioch (636). The year after that, the entire Holy Land (637) — the spiritual center of Christendom, gone. Armenia became the first Christian nation fully conquered (639). Egypt, the Coptic Christian power, fell two years later (641). By 650, Muslim forces had reached southern Italy and Cyprus, taking thousands of captives as "𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴" and "𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴." Then came Spain — Muslim armies crossed from North Africa in 711 and overran most of Iberia by 715. In roughly 80 years, Christianity lost the Middle East, North Africa, and most of the Iberian Peninsula. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 — 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐲 This was not exploration. This was conquest. In 717, Muslim forces besieged Constantinople itself — the capital of Eastern Christendom. The siege lasted a year before they were repelled. Had it succeeded, the path into Europe would have been wide open. In 730, they invaded France. Charles Martel stopped them at Tours. In 792, the ruler of Al-Andalus called for a second invasion of France. Repelled. In 848, a third invasion of France. Repelled again. In 827, Muslims invaded Sicily and Italy, persecuting monks and pillaging Christian communities. Sicily would remain under Islamic rule for 250 years. In 846, they invaded Rome itself and forced the Pope to pay tribute. By 909, they had taken Sardinia. This was relentless, coordinated, and existential. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 In 937, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher — built over the site Christians believe is the tomb of Christ — was burned to the ground. More churches in Jerusalem were torched alongside it. In 1009, the Church of the Resurrection was destroyed. By 1012, Al-Hakim's oppressive decrees against Christians had begun in earnest. Christian pilgrims could no longer safely visit the sites of Christ's ministry. The holiest city in Christendom was ruled by a hostile power systematically destroying the faith itself. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 In 1071, Muslim Turkish forces shattered the Byzantine army at Manzikert and occupied most of Anatolia. Constantinople was now directly threatened. In 1094, Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos sent envoys to Rome begging Western Christendom for military aid. In 1095, Pope Urban II declared the First Crusade. 𝟒𝟔𝟑 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭.

@AkhilKumarSaho8 @HellenisticPod Please explain more, do those characters mean something specific? Greek says it reads I-DA-MA-TE. I think reversed TE-MA-DA-I is too similar to Spanish "fleeced" Western myth as verb. This axe preserves what we don't understand. Did we gilded-fleece ourselves? Did someone else?

@HellenisticPod The term Pharaoh means pharsa or Axe. That should be understood first. From Bow and Arrow to Axe is a change of an epoch. Change of an Avatar.

The last native Egyptian to take the title of “Pharaoh” was Harsiesi, a rebel against the regime of Ptolemy VIII in 131-130 BC. “Pharaoh” would still be used for the next four hundred years, but exclusively by the Ptolemies and Roman emperors until 313 AD

@AkhilKumarSaho8 @MichaelARothman That explains density of Me-ru preserved in Linear B. Dense records: horses, chariots, honey, grain, & ritual bathing. Looks like Ashvamedha. Any connection to Me-ru I'm missing? Ma-wa-si-jo WA-WA-KA pa-ra-wo-jo All 3 present which I believe are Cheif Queen and consorts

@ben218 @MichaelARothman Yes. Disappearance of Mt. Sumeru is the single most event in human history. It is Sinai, it is Imaos, Tsung-ling, Sangala/Salanga. Without understanding Athens, Delphi, Alpha and Omega, scholars are talking about Greeks, without understanding Eschate scholars talking about Rome.

@taijitu_sees Yeah kinda like going do-si a dentist for terminal dermatitis

One does not simply stop being Daoist. It's kinda funny how terminal this worldview is combined with its relative invisibility. Good luck finding something more terminal than wuji! 🤷‍♂️

@AkhilKumarSaho8 @MichaelARothman Is there a common event that marks the end of antiquity?

@MichaelARothman Incorrect narratives; the human history prior to the 7th c AD should be studied as world history and the geography of the ancient world maps needs to be understood correctly. After the 8th-9th c AD the geographical situation of the ancient world changed.

@rinkutai222361 @GemsOfINDOLOGY This is the right approach, but it's on all of us. Truly fixing it is also on all of us. None of us did this, but we can untangle the thread. It will be fascinating, revealing, sad and uplifting but this is apparently all we do is ebb and flow between oneness and division.

@GemsOfINDOLOGY हम अभिभी उनकी जानबूझ कर की गई गलतियों का बोझा उठाकर चल रहे है ये हमारी गलती है।

A category became history. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬. “West Indies.” “American Indians.” Words that outlived the error that created them. And somewhere along the way — 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤. Not by law.

@AkhilKumarSaho8 @partiiallystars ✔️✔️ Linear B (Mycenaen Greek) contains the entire Intelligence apparatus of the Arthashastra - the office of the Cāradhyakṣa. And about 30+ other superintendentents and administrators

@partiiallystars Check.

oh my gosh

@illuminate_zero Took me a while to catch on, but you can just drop content in like a mixer. Select different assortment of files to turn into data, videos, podcasts, images, etc. It's very useful for my research - I've been making sweet info graphics. So much to do, lmk if you hit a snag

I have not, but have been looking at it in recent days. I'm trying to find the best way to collaborate with a partner on a project and share all the skills, rules, imp plans, etc.. so we have the agent on the same page while making code changes. I think Notebook looks promising for this, I just haven't been able to stop long enough to figure it out. 😅

I'm completely addicted to vibe coding. I'm like a crackhead with tokens where I will do anything to get my fix when I run out.
