A Sampling of Deities

 gods, immortals, supernatural and celestial beings

Hello world.

I read the article on ‘deity’ on grokipedia.  (I like grokipedia)

I could list all the deities/gods mentioned by name that managed to get cited as examples. 

Yahweh / YHWH, Allah, and Zeus, of course.  The Trinity (f,s,hs).   Atman, Brahman.  Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Cybele, Aphrodite.  Ogun, Osun.  Nladiba, Nladisara, Mwari Shona.   Min, Neith, Anubis, Atum, Bes, Horus, Isis, Ra, Meretseger, Nut, Osiris, Shu, Sia, Thoth.  El, Asherah.  Dumuzid, Geshtinanna, Gugalanna.  7 Annunaki: An, Enlil, Enki, Ninhursag, Nanna, Utu, Inanna.  Ansar, Kisar.  Marduk.  Baal.  Thor, Odin, Freyr, Eos.   (12 Olympians: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hermes, Demeter, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Aries).  Hestia, Hades, Heracles.  Pan.  (6+6:  Venus, Apollo, Mars, Dianna, Minerva, Ceres, Vulcan, Juno, Mercury, Vesta, Neptune, Jupiter / Jove.  Bacchus, Pluto, Hercules.  Janus, Fortuna, Vesta, Quirinus, Tellus.   Viracocha / Pachacutec.  Inti, Mama Qucha.  Mama Kuka, Mama Ch’aska, Mama Allpa, Mama Killa, Mama Sara.  Kukulkan.  Xib Chac.  Ixchel.  18 Mayan months….

Cia, constructs, ideas, abstractions.

Grok greek?   The Neptune tune.  Zeus' zoo.  Utu on YouTube.  Gugalanna on Google.

Augustine the Hippopotamus!  PIE, proto indo european

Horace plays ball.  Be(neith) O’ sun.    Rubber (Mar-)duk(ling)

Brahma, SIva, Vishnu

Maybe the most powerful and important deity is unnamed, or doesn't have a name!  The "word" was God.   Any word you like!

Nanna, Dianne, Paul (Apollo), Sara (Saraswati, Suras, Nladisara, Mama Sara).

I've known a Sara, Athena, Devan, and Shiva.   Michael Mercury.  

Did Aphrodite have an afro?  Did Shu wear Nikes?

Sometimes I feel like a Nut.   Siva and Mama Killa.   And O's gun.

Was Ceres a serial/ cereal Killa?    Horus, Horace, and whore us.

Io, it's off to work I go.   Oh Kaptan my Kaptan!

Sanity and saint

other ideas: Self, Universe, Jesus, Flying Spaghetti Monster, Love

Santa, Adi Da, L Ron, Me (earth name: Jesse Lawrence Teshara;  

    "space name":  Arahset Ecnerwal Essej

Thinking about Thought

My mind is mine.

Minors are miners?

I share my mind.  I speak my mind.  I write my mind.

Thought goes unheard.   

A “sound mind" is like what the speed-readers call subvocalization (?)

There are telepathic voices, auditory hallucinations, for the "spiritually open" 

like shared, corporate, borg minds - or different stations, networks

Unless the noise annoys !

I don’t want to hear yours, and I don’t want others trying get inside mine.

Digging around, in there, unearthing nuggets.

Pray without ceasing?   That’s crazy.

Unless all thought is a prayer.   

Our relationship and communication with God, Natural.   What it is.

Drown out the thought with headphones.

Replace the automatic internal flow with music, tv, reading.

I hate commercials.  TV is manipulative, stupid, and infuriating.

Heaven is a kind of library.

I like dreams.  Customized TV, from God to me.

Some people stay on one channel.  Others surf everything.

The rain in my brain, the stream of consciousness

don't be a drip, she said, so I gushed

ice-breakers, making a splash

babbling brook, washing on your shore

do we need our brains to be so Interactive?

Medic Kate thing, and of course, Flo

 shut down because of "shut-up!"

You don't talk enough, you reticent restrained rock of reason!

get on with it! (already) (it's been like 40 daze)

Pro-Life

Life is for living, being alive, yourself, happy, engaged, fulfilled

Do what you want, one life to live, seize the day, love life!

Make love, make money, make people smile, make music, make art

Sleep, dream, read, write, meditate, listen, watch, observe, talk

eat, exercise, improve, be healthy, wealthy, wise, work hard, play hard

get out into Nature, do new things / variety, get shit done, be helpful

don't be bored, go to restaurants, take drugs / be authentic, laugh, play, have fun

try everything once, no regrets, be true to yourself, live and learn

be bad, be good, be free, love all serve all, it's all good, don't be evil

people are stupid, fuck this shit, go to hell, suck it, blow up the outside world

fall in love, be virtuous, set an example, be your best self, do your best

seek growth, improvement, be good, better, best, perfect, strong, fit, well, sane

it's a mad world, get crazy, absurd, angry...   you don't have to be anything :-)

maybe don't do drugs (only some can self-medicate)

(comprehensive life instruction manual, clim)

Choice

 Options, possibilities

Liberty and freedom, free-will, unprogram yourself, don't necessarily do anything (default setting)

Options, a financial instrument

Choice, shorthand for the right to abort

Heuristics, rules for decision-making

Not always easy, weigh your options, good and bad for both choices, cost-benefit analysis

flip a coin!   choose both or neither?   Research, due-diligence, consulting experts

Pre-empt any regret

Rape

No means no

rapist, therapist, grapes, rap and rappers 

rope, rape, and reap

most rapes are not for pleasure, they are assertions of dominance

women can rape men, too, actually

force-rape, gang-rape, prison rape, oral/anal/vaginal, rape fantasy, statutory rape

sometimes even rape can be pleasurable (for both or either) (people get confused)

I've heard the most effective way to terminate a rape is to evacuate your bowels

I've heard a story about giving the rapist what he/they want ("he actually asked for my phone number after") 

there's a fuzz factor, like the Nirvana song "rape me"

horrifying stories of baby-rape, or taking advantage of disabled, etc.

pedophiles, sex-trafficking, being made to pretend it's enjoyable

rape as a weapon of war

jarring prevalence statistic: "nationwide, 81% of women, and 43% of men reported some form of sexual harassment and/or assault in their lifetime."

the national sexual assault hotline is 1-800-656-4673

dna evidence can be collected, from using a "rape kit'

degradation, defamation, denigration, depredation, desecration (and declination?)

The Celestial Scribe

 Pen, penis, the word was god

celestial, telestial, terrestrial (and bestial?) (referencing the COJCOLDS) (look it up)

Metatron (blog, weblog, electronic), met Tony, Storn, Ron T?

the Transformers leader of the Decepticons has a deceptively similar name to the Scribe of Heaven!

Everyone dies, everyone (is/has a son named) Jeremiah ("Jeremiah was a bullfrog" -3 dog night;   we all croak!) (Jeremy the wicked, song by Pearl Jam)

 Reading, Writing, and ‘rithmatic

Short stories and books by your favorite authors are a delight, taking you to different and new times and places and imaginations and possibilities.   The ss format is punchy and well-written and memorable, each one a slice of life, living on in your head, with their characters and imagery and situations.   Books are like plane tickets.   They take you places, transport you, “escapist.”   They give insight, new information, a form of meditation, or enlightenment, and bliss.  Heaven is a kind of library -Borges.    There’s also reference books and science, to understand Reality, and dive deep into whatever specialization is your cup of tea, up your alley, a focus of curiosity.  Reading is a productive use of time, edifying and entertaining.   Personally, I think books are better than tv or movies.

Writing is fun, too.   You clarify your thoughts, order them, give them structure, put them into words, paragraphs, chapters.   It’s creative and productive, literary and poetic.  A kind of permanence given to ephemeral thought.  You share your mind, create a record to consult yourself later.   You can go for a swim in your past, your own mind.  You mold and construct an identity, too, if you like.   Writing is powerful.  Sometimes speech is awkward.   Writing permits greater clarity, and reflection, depth.  

I like numbers, too.   I mostly only use them to calculate my budget (wallet cash, checking, savings, BTC, owed debts, anticipated payments for the month, and extras like amazon gift cards, or EBT food money allowance.   It gives a sense of control and feeling responsible, allowing frugality and hopefully wise expenditure.

Tron

Meditron, mellotron, megatron, Metatron, and mechatronics

electronics, deadly discs, and 'torn'?

Happy Halloween

 Horror of Hell and Healthy Happiness of Heaven!

Eat lots of candy, remember to brush!  The college music radio scene is usually a pretty good Gothic vibe around this time, if you're into that sort of thing, recommendation.   

I know a blind woman, and I've seen her remove her eye...   I told her she should offer the Trick instead of the treat, and send the kids off, screaming, lol.   It's creepy.

Don't enter the Gates of Hell, you crazy kids!  Have a fun night, and enjoy a scary movie or something.   I bought Reese's miniatures, around $7, and I'm not anticipating any TOT ers.   So K and I will probably go through all that sugar.    

Cheers,

J
