Hello, /his/.
First, the link:

Another 20 texts, this time centered mostly around Gnosticism, but we've got a few others. I moved all of my Yezidi material, questionable or not, into it's own folder. We're almost up to 4500 texts (4481).

Dictionary of Gnosticism and Esotericism. It's a great starter or generalist reference. Thumbed through it and was impressed enough with the comprehensiveness and neutrality that I figure I should toss it in...

>Psychological Model>Jung
Added “The Gnostic Jung and the Seven Sermons of the Dead”, an analysis of said sermons and their relation to Gnostic thought.
>Samuel Aun Weor
Added his text Revolution of the Dialectic, which delves into the Greek Sacred Psychiatry as reckoned by the academic material in my Euro folder. Both concepts are rooted in Plato: Plat. Rep. 7.533, c&d, and the comment on dialectic's ability to raise the soul through...

Hi Thoth, I would like to know your opinion on Simon's Necronomicon.
I'm going to post two busts of Tutankhamun that were found in his tomb.
As you can see these busts obviously aim for accuracy. The shape of the nose, the arch of the brow, the detail of the ears, and so on, are all realistic and consistent.
My question is: why then doubt that the color of the skin isn't also meant to be accurate? Even the lips are given a different shade.

It's pretty hard to not be at least tan living in a desert.
Why are samurais so cool?
Were their armour and clothing specifically designed to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible or is it just a coincidence?
Not even weeaboo, just curious
>>460739
You're better off answering that question yourself.
I happen to think that the general samurai demon helmet is godawful.

Why are samurais so cool?
That's objective
>Were their armour and clothing specifically designed to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible or is it just a coincidence?
Somewhat, but not really. The demonic helmets were made to be as scary as possible. The bodypart was designed to protect against the climate and weather too, which is why they wore alot of clothing under the armor.
Japanese didnt have alot of natural iron so most of the armors were made from leather, cloth...

Christians and Jews and Muslims believe in miracles. Hindus and Buddhists believe in siddhis.
>Siddhis (Sanskrit and Pali; Devanagari सिद्धि; Tibetan: དངོས་གྲུབ, THL: ngödrup,[web 1] Chinese: 悉地, 成就) are spiritual, paranormal, supernatural, or otherwise magical powers, abilities, and attainments that are the products of spiritual advancement through sādhanās such as meditation and yoga.[1] The term ṛddhi (Pali: iddhi, "psychic powers") is often used interchangeably in Buddhism.
Do you believe...

Christians also believe god can although very rarely does grant "magic powers".
>>449960
Yes. Yes. In history? Popularly known as a magician, not as an illusionist? Maybe a few ones. Jesus, indeed, had siddhis. But I think He was beyond the whole magician thing.
>>449960
I'm reluctant to make a new thread with this thing up.
If you're interested in Siddhis, there's a whole list of 'em in the Kaulajnananirnaya in the library, and the contemplative means of attaining them.
Why is there no contemporary music that could even be compared to the classic masterpieces of Bach, Mozart, Bethoween etc.
Have we degraded culturally?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHqtJH2f1Yk
Because you were born in le wrong generation.
There's plenty of great modern classical and non-classical music.
>>447745
Wait 100-200 years from now and you'll find the answer.
>>447745
Oh and btw, there's more people making AND recording music now than before, with modern technologies enabling the public to listen to all sorts of shit. So it wasn't like back then you'd get really good cunts being the only ones who'd get a massive aduience.

I can't imagine how many casualties alone the must have had before they changed it.
Are there any posters here who don't consider human life innately precious?
Life isn't really important. All we are is energy established into a "physical" form. When we die, our energy will go else where for other uses.
Honestly, not if they're African, Chinese or Indian
In a manner of speaking.
It's normal for people to consider human lives more valuable than non-human lives, if only as a consequence of genetics and socialization.
Practically speaking, though, life is cheap. People die all the time for stupid as shit reasons. People can be convinced to kill other people very easily, and we're always three missed meals away from that "innate preciousness" vanishing.
Still, yeah, I think we have an in-born as well as social predisposition to consider human life more valuable than other life.
Are Humans naturally good or evil ? Some agreed that humans were born good, others said the opposite, your thought ?
>>487724
>naturally
please stop shit posting.
>>487731
>nothing is anything maymay :^)
The answer is a little bit of both OP
>>487764
We haven't even gotten to the spuriousness of "good" and "evil."
So what would have changed if the Normandy landings failed? i.e. Germany was able to find out where the real landings were to be somehow or something.
keep in mind that everything else about WWII up to this point is completely the same and events that were to happen independent of D-Day will still happen uninterrupted.
Eisenhower resigns.
U.S.S.R. still wins.

wow what a great pagan nation Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Chinese could really learn a lot from them just look at this masterfully builded hut
I'm in awe.
This is going to be a great thread with impartial, educated discussion.

Who gives a shit honestly, now we're on top and you shitholes with muh history and muh houses are indeed shitholes.
Reminder that religion was BTFO by Russel's Teapot, and Betrand Russel in general
> The whole conception of God is a conception derived from the ancient Oriental despotisms. It is a conception quite unworthy of free men. When you hear people in church debasing themselves and saying that they are miserable sinners, and all the rest of it, it seems contemptible and not worthy of self-respecting human beings.

Religion was never BTFI in the first place. It has always been the refuge of second rate thinkers and their terrible ideas.
The fact that it's now dying (at least the literalist version of it) shows that the last centuries merely slowed down the inevitable collapse
>Neitzsche in a trenchcoat
>>483587
This is by far the cringiest picture I have ever seen. And I am not religious people.
The addition of a fucking comedian and a shitposting demagogue among a bevy of scientists is cream of the cringe.
Was he the most evil man in history?
>>479471
Not anymore since OP
only to Americans, to my people he is a hero that made Russia great and turned it into a superpower that the world trembles before even today.
>>479471
Maybe not the most evil, that's hard thing to define. There might have been more evil people not wielding as much power as he did.
But as far as might goes, let's put it this way;
Stalin's tendencies for wickedness most likely affected more people living in his world at the same time as him than any other despot before or after him. He was irresponsible with his power in regards to the suffering of others. In the end, it's what caused his pre-mature death.

Bow your head to the Sultan, infidel!

The King of Kings, the great Osman, the ruler of three continents, the one who only bows to Allah himself. His lands are endless. His armies are inexhaustible. His Janisarries are fearless. His guns are without number. Bow your head to the Sultan! Or face the full strength of the one true faith.

Also post pictures of Ottoman stuff. Artwork, weapons, armor, architecture.
Ottoman music as well. The Ottoman marching band was one of the most important tools of the Sultan. With his awesome band and his mighty artillery, he could reduce the enemy defenses to the rubble.
