Självinsikt

 

Credit: Batthini Vinay Kumar Goud

Låter i och för sig som en rolig programidé. Har dumburken äntligen uppnått självinsikt? Nästan ett mirakel...

Håller nog på Dogge!

Världsnyhet

 


Låter i och för sig som en nyhet. Från Aftonbladets förstasida. "We are monitoring the situation". 

Herrgårdsyra

 


Fast förlusten om Rysslands drönare hade bombat herrgården kanske inte hade varit så stor, trots allt? 

En nonchalans som är demoraliserande

Bad atheist takes (again)

 


A good summary of why "lacktheism" is absurd. The two last arguments are (more or less) wrong, but they aren´t really about "lacktheism" anyway. From 2024.

Bad atheist takes  

Evidences, please

 


Some gems from 2024.

Folie au deux

Deep, man

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.

Stor var kamrat Stalin

 


Varför klagar Fria Tider på det här? Stödjer de Stalin numera? LOL.

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.
