Could the choice of HP Lovecraft's fictional villains be inspired by the Bible
Nungali replied to Sanity Check's topic in Abrahamic Religions Discussion
So what is this thread supposed to be about then ? -
Are you telling me there are bears in Portugal ! ?

Even switching from wheat to rye helps (in bread ) and from oats to rye (in porridge) . Barley was big in the ancient near east , still is today in some Iranian food . Bread ( made from various natural grains ) is an ancient food .... if you look it up it will say ' Oooooo several thousand years in the middle east . Errrmmmm ... try '' The world's first bread was likely made by Indigenous Australians, using seeds from native plants, with evidence of grinding stones dating back over 30,000 years at sites like Cuddie Springs in New South Wales. This practice predates the development of baking in ancient Egypt by thousands of years and represents one of the world's oldest and most sophisticated continuous agricultural traditions, making Indigenous Australians the world's first bakers. '' of course they did not use wheat but natural grass seeds, legumes. nuts and roots . Aussie grinding stones : Most of the time they would be left at a camp, but sometimes they would be taken with them .... Aboriginal woman walking far across the land with a ring of twisted bark on her head and the huge heavy grinding stone on top, baby on one hip and a hand full of other stuff ( digging sticks, etc ) on the other side ...... wow !

Anthropological Types of People Living in Los Angeles
Nungali replied to Lois's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Anthropological type ? An "anthropological type" refers to a discredited historical concept from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that involved categorizing humans into distinct racial groups based on observable physical traits like skin color or head shape Like Nazis and Apartheid used to do ! . This typological model, used to define categories such as Negroid or Caucasoid races, is now considered scientifically invalid and is rejected by modern anthropology. Current understanding acknowledges that such traits are simple variations influenced by environmental factors, not inherent categories of people. You might be trying to talk about 'ethnic groups' ? -

I see, so you are not now going off the Bible at all ? - even though you said you were in the first line of your first post . -
I was referring to your statement that '' I think you're all in mine '' So, is it yours or God's ... or do you think we are in a simulation made for you by God ? or just changing tac due to 'pressure' or what ?

Yes ... but it is 'in the field ' of craziness . By that I mean ..... when people do go 'off' these are the type of things they get into in excess and go off about . You view makes more sense if I assume synchronicity are mostly magical oir indicative of something else other than the usual dynamic . When people do go 'off' their issues are usually about synchronicity , UFOs , magic , people out to get them, delusions of persecution, grandeur and special powers . To see that one only has to read .... Daobums Yes all those things have some validity ... but do you not think it is 'interesting' that when people do go off they loose a balanced view on these very things ? Thats why these are not good subjects for the unstable to get into . .

Pointless ? Even if it can explain a process that is specific to your own point of view that might be a biased observation ? if some one asks what is your fav color and you say blue . Then you see a dog with a blue collar and then a blue bus go past , you go ... well, whatever you do when you feel 'synchronized ' ( paranoid, happy , connected , suspicious, multiple universe, illusioned, matrixed ... whatever ) When it just might just be coincidental and a red and yellow bus passed but you never noticed ... but the blue one stood out to you due to your own 'stream of consciousness ' ? That explanation would be pointless to you ? And you would rather walk around being ''synchronized' ?
-
Then the neighbor and the bus going past must be too , no ? I have to ask, what is your purpose in projecting the bus passing as you have a smoke ?

Could the choice of HP Lovecraft's fictional villains be inspired by the Bible
Nungali replied to Sanity Check's topic in Abrahamic Religions Discussion
It might be clearer if you cite the Bible passage description of Seraphim you are referring to . All I know of is in Isiah 6 ; 2. '' 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. ie; How did you get to this monstrosity ? ; Even 'the creatures' (not called Seraphim ) in Revelations might be part inspiration ... this is highly selective 'interpretation ' ; it does say they are ''covered in eyes front and back '' ( Rev 4 : 7 ) does not describe a disc or a single central eye but does say , '' The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings.'' If I was going to pick a sea creature that looked like a Seraphim it would be a nudibranc ; -

Since an octopus does not have 6 wings , encased in fire ( 'saraph' - to burn ) , do not go around singing '' "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory". And since a Seraphim does not live in the sea , eat crabs, have 8 arms covered in suckers , two eyes and a beak ..... I would say , no . I would also ask what the inspiration was in selecting that particular example of a Seraphim ( which in no way represents the Biblical description ! ) in your post - considering the options available . I like this one better ; 'Not like an octopus ' . And Cthulu was not considered to be just an octopus either - Kraken + dragon + 'anthropomorphic form ' . Also, there are things you can do with an octopus you can not do with a seraphic angel -
Yellow will do .

Have your smoke on the 1/4 hr then you will miss the bus .

I might be .... certainly saw no canaries . But I might be off course ..... I should be somewhere out off the Straights of Gibraltar , but there seems to be large island ahead that isnt on my map ?
-
yeah ... could be that . Or maybe cadcam has good bus services in his area ? Or the other possibility is , that neighbor Cadcam sees each time he goes out is watching for him and then reports in 'Okay guys, Cadcam has come outside to have a smoke ...... roll 'em out ! ''
