Current mood (?)

 

Amitabha Buddha mysteriously appears to a lonely wandered in a dark forest...

The time of silence

 

An old Joshua special on the "Irvingites" or Catholic Apostolic Church (CAC), one of the strangest Christian denominations. Originally they seem to have combined "smells and bells" liturgy, charismatic gifts and apocalypticism. The CAC appointed twelve new apostles but curiously didn´t replace them when they passed away. This made it impossible to ordain new bishops and priests, the Church slowly descending into passivity as these, too, became elderly and started to die. Apparently, the CAC also stopped trying to recruit new members! Today, the CAC is very small and little is known about its activities (if any), but apparently they are still eagerly awaiting the Second Advent of Christ any moment now. 

I have no idea what the sociological or psychological explanation for the above might even be. Secret disappointment that Christ didn´t return during the lifetimes of the original apostles? There is a splinter group called the New Apostolic Church (NAC) which did appoint new apostles and continued its missionary outreach. These Neo-Irvingites now have about nine million members worldwide, and I actually blogged about them in 2018. So now I have covered the - shall we say - Paleo-Irvingites, too! 

Thank you.

Jehova har landat

Visste inte att Jehova kunde sjunga? Allvarligt talat, är inte detta *lite* överdrivet? Nyhetstorka? 

Jehovas körsång väcker ilska på Arlanda

It´s official now

 

Ukraine blew up Nord Stream 2. But we kind of knew that already. Good goin´, btw. 

Easy journey to other planets

 

So I recently commented Rudolf Steiner´s strange idea that the Buddha went to Mars, et cetera. Purely by chance (?), this popped up in my YouTube feed. "Mars vs Pure Land. Why migrating to the Pure Land is much better than Mars". Elon Musk, are you listening?

Don´t worry, I have no intention of journeying to the red planet anytime soon. However, the Buddhist nun in the clip may be wrong about one thing. She says that the living conditions on Earth are much better than on Mars.

So about that... 

Lunatic

 

I never been affected by the Moon before, at least not as far as I know. But latterly, I actually have been *somewhat* negatively affected by the full moon, even when I can´t see it?! But mostly positively by other moon phases, and zero negative effect during the dark moon. Probably just the power of self-suggestion, if you ask me, but it almost feels as if another absurd "conversation" with the AI is in order. I mean, this is exactly the kind of woo-woo where only a machine can help...

Värt ett besök?

Priset på SL-kortet (alltså kollektivtrafiken i Stockholms län) har sänkts från 1060 kr till 530 kr. Trodde faktiskt att det ordinarie priset var ännu högre än 1060 riksdaler.

Kommer nog resa runt rätt mycket i det aktuella länet nu under några veckor. Om gudarna vill... 

This will test MILLIONS!!!

 

Or maybe not, LOL, but apparently the recent full moon in Capricorn excited our dear neighborhood astrologers. It´s in opposition to the Sun in Cancer (a Moon sign). Which I suppose means...something.

Since this is the Strawberry Moon, I certainly hope it means we´ll get more strawberries in our ice cream! Because, yeah, their absence from our treats might indeed "test millions". Duh!

The Mars Buddha revisited

 

Look what I found in an old blog post of mine from 2018. This is the explanation we´ve been looking for!

>>>Steiner's lectures contain another very strange speculation: the claim that the Buddha went to Mars (or perhaps the “Mars sphere”, but Steiner does seem to mean the literal planet Mars) in order to carry out a Martian version of the Mystery of Golgotha (!). 

>>>However, Buddha was never literally crucified (since the Martians seem to be ethereal beings, an actual crucifixion might have been impossible to arrange anyway), but rather sacrificed himself by sending out love and kindness to a planet the inhabitants of which were extremely aggressive. 

>>>Apparently, this kind-hearted act has soothed the conflicts among the Martians, making it easier for human souls to pass through the planetary sphere of Mars during our cosmic sojourn between two earthly existences... 

>>>I admit that this mutant Buddha legend is somewhat difficult to take seriously!

Gangsterrapp är däremot helt okontroversiellt. Eller? Visste förresten inte att det fanns något sådant som "samisk kultur", jag menar svensk kultur finns ju inte...
