Ohhh ... so you have some faculty to discern the difference ! Special eyes that are not connected to your 'thinking bits' ?

Its MY truth .... watching both of them on television : "Not another friggin nature show lion and antelope thing again ! "

... just a bit of proselytizing by the way .... you been 'saved ' yet ?

So ...... what's behind it all ? " Take that Zeus ! I just checked your 'crushing cliffs' with my King Neptune ."

Nah . But there are other ways

Indeed , Crowley ain't got no monopoly on it . I assume you have read my comparisons to it and Zoroastrian Khvaranah ? THIS is a very relevent part to it (as experienced in 'lineal life' ) : " "Oh... so now I understand why a and b had to happen -- if they didn't I wouldn't arrive at c!" Eventually it all starts 'falling together' and the picture gets clearer , like fitting the pieces of an unknown image together in a jigsaw puzzle .

HE NEW GODS OF THE BRONZE AGE AND THEIR ATTRIBUTES A small pantheon of early gods shares their names within the Indo-European languages and hence goes back to the Proto-Indo-European period (West 2007: ch. 4). Language thus testiies to the existence of a small pantheon of gods before and during the early period of expansion of Indo-European languages and social formations in the early third millennium bce. Presiding over them is the sky god with his club or rather hammer axe. his would correspond very well with the western expansion of Indo-European speaking societies during the early third millennium bce, where males are oten buried with an axe made of precious stone or copper. Figure 10.3 Relationship between material culture and oral/written culture. © Kristian Kristiansen. not for reproduction or distribution RELIGION AND SOCIETY IN THE BRONZE AGE 83 Ater 2000 bce, texts from the Near East and India present the second and third gener- ations of gods, and among them the “Divine Twins” are the most interesting and important also from an archaeological point of view. - Even right down to microcosm of the valley I live in ; " Two brothers , they go hunting and fishing, right up the end of the valley ..... " Often however it is three brothers ; the three that came here in a canoe to originally settle the land , all the way to the three brothers in a canoe in the sky : heir archaeological history and their attributes will therefore be the focus of this contribution. hey persist until the end of the Bronze Age, when new gods mark their arrival in many Indo-European speaking societies, not least in central and northern Europe, in the form of the Æsir gods, which corresponds to the decline of the dominant Bronze Age gods. Arrival of the 'new gods' (and the following development of a nationwide new revolution in society and relationships ) : We ind no archaeological parallels to this change until the beginning of the Iron Age, when some rock art panels are carved over by a gigantic spear-holding igure, which could count as a proto-Odin, but otherwise the most likely arrival of this new layer of gods can be archaeologically identiied and dated to the ith and sixth centuries ce (Hedeager 2007) . he main gods of the Bronze Age are the sun, its god and goddess, and their helpers: the Divine Twins. A myriad of rock art panels in Scandinavia and a thousand bronzes with solar symbolism attest to this (R. Bradley 2006; Kristiansen 2010). It is also clear from this archaeological evidence that the solar journey is a shared myth throughout Europe (Sprockhof 1954; Pasztor 2008; Vianello 2008), just as the twin symbolism linked to the helpers of the sun: the Divine Twins. here are most certainly other shared myths that can be identiied in archaeological iconography, but so far little work has been done in these areas of research (but see Kristiansen & Larsson 2005: ig. 152; Fredell 2006). Bronze Age texts and Bronze Age rock art are dominated by male gods, or rather their earthly representatives, the priest chiefs, mostly armed and with a huge phallus. In a quantitative study of gender in rock art in Østfold in Norway it could be demonstrated that non-phallic males rarely had weapons, while among the phallic males more than half carried a sword. Figures with horned helmets, lur blowers, and igures with bird masks, or rather eagle heads or masks, are always phallic (Skogstrand 2006: igs 16–20). he warrior ethos is strong, and is linked to an ideology of sexual strength and penetration, which is echoed in Indo-European texts as well. As for the 'new Gods' (Christianity ) overtaking the 'Old Gods ' I like to refer to Swinburne : Hymn to Proserpine (After the Proclamation in Rome of the Christian Faith) " ........ For the Gods we know not of, who give us our daily breath, We know they are cruel as love or life, and lovely as death. O Gods dethroned and deceased, cast forth, wiped out in a day! From your wrath is the world released, redeemed from your chains, men say. New Gods are crowned in the city; their flowers have broken your rods; They are merciful, clothed with pity, the young compassionate Gods. But for me their new device is barren, the days are bare; Things long past over suffice, and men forgotten that were. .......

I realize the theory is highly criticized . I suppose its a question of comparing dates . A lot of it is confusing , like 'the burnt house horizon' - thats weird ; evidence of a giant area where houses and goods where burnt , seems to indicate such conflict ... yet some say and show evidence that they did it themselves .... repeatedly and deliberately, burnt the whole lot down then rebuilt it , time and time again . " This was a widespread and long-lasting tradition in what are now Southeastern Europe and Eastern Europe, lasting from as early as 6500 BCE (the beginning of the Neolithic in that region) to as late as 2000 BCE (the end of the Chalcolithic and the beginning of the Bronze Age). Some historians claim that settlements were intentionally burned in a repeated cycle of construction and destruction.[20] Serbian archeologist Mirjana Stevanovic writes: "it is unlikely that the houses were burned as a result of a series of accidents or for any structural and technological reasons but rather that they were destroyed by deliberate burning and most likely for reasons of a symbolic nature".[4] Some of the modern house-burning experiments include those done by Arthur Bankoff and Frederick Winter in 1977,[21] Gary Shaffer in 1993,[22] and Stevanovic in 1997.[2][4] In their experiment, Bankoff and Winter constructed a model of a partially dilapidated Neolithic house, and then set it on fire in a way that would replicate how an accidental fire would have perhaps started from an untended cooking-hearth fire. They then allowed the fire to burn unchecked for over thirty hours. Although the fire rapidly spread to the thatched roof, destroying it in the process, in the end less than one percent of the clay in the walls was fired (turned into ceramic material), which is counter to the large amount of fired-clay wall rubble that is found in the Cucuteni-Trypillian settlement ruins. Additionally, the experimental burning left the walls almost entirely intact. It would have been relatively easy for the roof to have been repaired quickly, the ash cleared away, and the house reoccupied.[21] These results are typical for all of the modern experiments that have been done to try to recreate these ancient house burnings.[2] Stevanovic, an expert archeological ceramicist,[23] describes how in order to produce the large amount of fired clay rubble found in the ruins, that enormous quantities of extra fuel would have had to be placed next to the walls to create enough heat to vitrify the clay.[4] " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burned_house_horizon Anyway , they are just ideas , Crowley's where based on what was current at the time and the sciences have moved on a long way from there . I think the main point is we ARE in an age of individuality and conflict and 'western civ' seems to have isolated the extended family unit ... which is the basic stable base from primates ... which we are . Okay , but still ... what happens if you ask it " Are you sure about that "?

Seriously ? You are going to cite chat GPT ? ... whatever . It wasnt just Crowley that thought " The transition from one Aeon to another reflects shifts in human consciousness and spiritual evolution. " Exopsychology does as well , and links them to shifts in human social evolution . A lot of Crowley isn't original , he is just writing about stuff in a new and different way ( for the times ) . Ask your chat GPG , in relation to the answer it gave ; " Are you sure about that ? "

Your quote seems to support what I said 'Aeon of Isis' - 'Old Europe' ; " characterized as peaceful, matristic, and possessing a goddess-centered religion." And the 'Aeon of Osiris' - " she characterizes the later Indo-European influences as warlike, nomadic, and patrilineal" Horse riders ; that's my 'being able to quickly escape the consequences of your bad actions' theory on human nastiness . It signalled a different idea coming ; a state not ruled by 'Royal Blood and Religion ' . Replace 'human' with 'arms' and you got it . The Aeon of Osiris is supposedly characterised by 'the Dying God' motif . Jesus is the classic . But who is the new classic / icon / 'Microcosmic Man ' ? I read a good discourse on it being Faust ; he sold his soul , which he lost , to the Devil, for material greed, goods and pleasures . The writer saw 'The Devil' as materialism / scientism . But then again, that's just Marlowe's ending , Goethe has a different ending to Faust ...... maybe we can choose ?

Eh ? Life is University death, graduation . Have you chosen your career, do you know your destination ? Have you a map of the territory ? Do you know your True Wil ? Or do you think life is just time to kill ?

I am sure drummers ( and other musicians artists and creators ) realize this ; give a share of glory to 'God' . Said to me after a good session : " Wow, that was great ! I never knew you could drum like that ! " Me : " Neither did I ! "

Yeah , I developed that in Aikido during 3 (of them ) on one (me ) . And ... you better have this sense developed in you plan on riding a motorcycle ! Its saved me a few times !

Speaking of great sporting feats being translated into saving things . Warwick Kappa renown for being able to catch a 'high mark ' by running up the back of an opponent ( then according to the rules of 'Aussie Rules' if you then run with the ball , more than three steps , you must bounce it in front of you and catch it as you run , or kick it between the goal posts - ruby, basketball , soccer : ) There was a fire in an apartment block and a woman came to a third floor balcony with a baby wrapped up in a blanket . Everyone was horrified to see the poor woman trapped and she yelled out , as the flames approached her , " Save my baby ! " and thre it off the balcony to the shocked people below . Warwick Cappa was passing by and instinctively ran towards the crowd , ran up a man's back, leaped into the air and caught the baby in both hands , automatically, without thinking . The crowd let out a cheer , Cappa turned, ran three steps and then kicked the baby between two telegraph poles .

Oh no ... certainly not ! He was not allowed to smoke ! ( Nor eat proper food , nor this, nor that .... )

By the way , I find the comment about loosing balls / loosing identity , very sexists . How about 'people' first ? Seeing people as people , just like us . Maybe they are Man or Woman or whatever . In my book 'one's sex' does not come 'first' .

I cant wait to get mine ! I am going to go and cash it in right away at the Genital Bank !

No I didnt know that . I did have a mate that ran an old Mercedes on old fish and chip oil . The exhaust smelt fishy . However its not running anymore . perhaps due to a problem you mentioned ? I have heard about farm machinery running on home made alcohol during the depression ? But perhaps that damaged the machinery ? Another friend might be more successful in such future scenarios .... a horse breeder !

Partial accident + idea = new technology . person observes flint rock falling onto another rock and sees a spark .... IDEA ! 'If I hit that rock with the other rock I can make a spark .'
