Daniel

Yes. The deity whom you are referring to as YHWH was included in the pantheon of other religions and cultures. The inscription though which you have included as Asheratah, cannot be a deity. Hebrew grammar doesn't work that way. If the inscription were referring to Asherah as a proper name, it would read Asherah Shel YHWH. This is because proper names, "Asherah" do not get conjugated. This makes good sense. If proper names are conjugated then the original name is not written and the inscription ( in this case a prayer or benediction ) becomes ambiguous. For example: Is her name Asherah or Asherata? If one is making a prayer or benediction to a deity the name needs to be correct. This is simple. I am surprised that your esoteric education and work in Hermetics is not being applied here. Is the Egyptian god's named Rah or Rahta? Is Rah the same name as Rahta? No, of course not. And this is the underlying fault for the majority of what you have posted. The attention to detail is reduced or removed entirely in order to force the conclusion which you desire. And the authors of these articles are doing the same thing.

You're very welcome. One of the nice things about venting here, among the daobums, is that we have a head-start understanding what you are going through. It's great to have a Dr. It's great to have a psychiatrist/psychologist/therapist/etc... But I've found that many people appreciate venting to people who already understand much of what they are saying. It's a lot easier this way for the individual to vent when they do not need to explain each and every concept to someone who may very well not appreciate phenomena which exist beyond materialism.

" ...asking an objective opinion ... " I don't know what this means. I clearly don't. That doesn't make any sense at all. However, I notice that you're not using the quote feature. You're also not tagging me with the "@" feature. It's very likely I will not notice your replies or be able to tell to whom you are are responding to if you post in this manner.

Why didn't you bring any Jewish commentary on this? Rabbi Hirsch explains the Jewish perspective well. Are you ignoring all that moderate or conflict with your point of view? That would be a very poor method for investigating anything.

Have you read the book of Ruth? What is at the very beginning of the story? How does the story begin?

Please post the article, as promised, for rational enquiry and examination.

Of course! These are stories with cross cultural appeal that have stood the test of time. The reason for this is that the characters represent common archetypes which show up in many popular stories and myths in geo-diverse cultures.

No. He was an innkeeper at the crossroads.

You left out the ineffable tetragrammaton. Why is that? It is central to the entire narrative of Abraham.

Did you know that El is an improper pronunciation? "El" is a preposition in Hebrew.

Great! Nungali? Do you have articles or videos on this? You said you would bring them. Where are they? I see you did plenty of typing, but you did not deliver the articles or the videos.

Have you watched this video? Are you prepared to discuss its content? Why do you believe it is true? Have you fact checked it?

Cool. Will you be prepared to discuss those articles? In other words, will you be preaching anti-Judaism? Or will this be a discussion?

Nungali, If you saw that I liked your advice, why did you defend your position and accuse me of attacking it as a result of a bias? See below: No one doubted or challenged your credentials. You don't need to defend yourself. Why ask this question? To whom are you asking? Are you talking to yourself? You seem to be in such a rush to attack me, that you do not acknowledge or notice how often we agree. The same thing happened in another thread.

Nungali, I liked your post. You should have gotten a notification. It was good advice.

Nungali, I liked your post. You should have gotten a notification. It was good advice. See below. That was less than 24 hours ago.

Silent Thunder, why do you care about what Nungali says about me?

Since you cannot remember what you post from one day to the next, there is no discussion with you. I'm done. Say what you will about me. No one cares.

Maybe start a new thread, since this one got hijacked? I'm happy to read your posts as time permits. I wish you well.

Unless denying duality is its own delusion. If so, one delusion is being exchanged for another.

Epiphany

It's normal under these circumstances.

Your post reminds me of our previously departed member named Helpful-Demon. If you are him? I think his name is Mark? It would be good to know if you are asking for help, or if you are looking for a community of like minded individuals where you can share your ideas.

It's the topic ( "title" ) of the thread.

Not trying to argue, but, to provide a bit of balance: It is normal and natural for "big thinkers" to struggle. This is exacerbated by occult study because the studies encourage deep probing of very grand concepts, including but not limited to the nature of evil, darkness, taboo passionate desires, etc... And this ignores that contemplating ceasing to exist is an initiation ritual in the more popular and available occult DIY books available online. Ceasing to exist in the context of occult study is not suicide. It is the first step , necessary, for rebirth. And because of that, these thoughts are encouraged. It's not suicidal.
