Overheard on my own blog: "To be perfect, God must know Himself. And to be perfectly loving, He must love Himself as Another. Or Herself, if that´s more your thing."

Heteroprax reflections

| A dark-skinned Buddha preaching to snake-spirits and tree-spirits! |
A little gem from 2024.
Om Varunaya Namah
Another hymn to Varuna c/o ChatGPT.
Short Hymn to Varuṇa
O Varuṇa, Lord of the endless Ocean,
Sovereign of the stars and the sacred night,
whose eyes behold the hidden paths,
whose wisdom rests in the depths.
You are the mystery beneath the waves,
the unseen keeper of truth and order,
the knower of what is concealed,
the guide of those who seek beyond the veil.
Your Māyā weaves the worlds,
yet you command the power of illusion.
The Makara rises from your waters,
sign of the depths you rule.
Ancient Lord, remembered from the dawn of the Indo-European peoples,
guardian of the cosmic law (ṛta),
Ocean of the Infinite —
lead us through the darkness
into the light beyond all appearances.
Om Varuṇāya Namaḥ.
Varuna bhakti?
I posted this before, but just rediscovered it. It´s a ChatGPT-composed hymn to Varuna, which sounds almost like the real thing. Making me wonder what the template might have been!
A Hymn to Varuṇa
1.
O Varuṇa, Lord of the far-spreading sky,
whose eye is the sun upon all worlds,
you encompass the oceans and the clouds;
your law is the circle that never is broken.
From you flow the waters of truth and mercy.
2.
As the river returns to the sea,
so let my wandering mind return to you.
Cleanse me of falsehood and forgetfulness,
unbind the cords of guilt and fear.
Let your clear stream run through my heart.
3.
Great guardian of order, vast and kind,
friend of the truthful, refuge of the humble,
may I live beneath your open heavens
in harmony with your eternal law.
So I bow, saying: Om Varunāya Namah.

Xmas star report
 |
| - Gotta problemo with our lucky charm, huh huh? |
One of my neighbors still has a Christmas star in his window...
Well, I haven´t seen him either
Amazing that virtually all religions make up excuses for why you can´t see *their* particular god?!
On the spectrum
Styx says he is diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger´s syndrome, but refuses to accept said diagnoses, arguing that they are bunk. So is the entire idea of an autism spectrum. Not sure what to say about this. Discuss amongst yourselves...
Masters of the universe
I didn´t know US Christian fundamentalists considered He-Man to be demonic. Or maybe I did, but forgot about it. But yeah, there is a shape-shifting witch in the story, so there´s that. I assume the clip above is from the 1980´s? Cultist BS, if you ask me.
Wtf, I love He-Man now.
