Buddhism is too anti-Cosmic for me
but it got pretty cool in Zen
how so?
im the anti-Buddha
it talks about infinite worlds, infinite beings
certainly
it has that
White Scars are my thing
vroom vroom. Fast attaq
in the grim dark future of Trumpianity there is only WAR
and mechsuit maintenance is hella expensive
hahaha
john: Buddhism typically strives to kill off your connection to the world, you see this very well in that Gautama left his family
that´s why the hardcore buddhist typically live in monasteries
secluded, no families
the opposite of that is like Islam, where they got a number of wives and a dozen babies
i know its pop to hate on Islam, but they´re replacing us somewhat
i don´t care about Arabic, but their system works in that sense
japan made a synthesis of buddhism and expansion tho
but the got blown
most esoteric traditions are built around isolating individuals from society
see also: sufi mystics
I don’t think it works that well. Saudi Arabia is bound to experience a sociocultural crissis at some point. They have all this power to acquire pleasure that are just flat out normal in the west, not even outright degenerate.
that´s Axis Age stuff
big difference between normals and people who go the spiritual explorer route
there´s also esoterics who have families like in Rome before Christianity
and Germanics before Christianity
Some modern schools are attempting to unite daily life with practice, but it’s a new thing considering how long esoteric traditions drag on
That’s a huge task
Human society is based on codependance for mundane needs
the “isolate yourself from the world” angle is being taken out of schools over the long term though. But you don’t need to copy geopol of Islam to mget that.
the father was the priest of the family before Christianity divorced that role to wifeless “fathers”
emperor of rome was the pope of their religion
Pharaos were living gods
Demigods whatever
pontifex maximus, which the christian pope took as a title after the divorce of christianity from the empire
Like the chinese emperors
right
Kings also
divine right
yes
Yep
funny thing is, this gets restored in WarHammer 40.000
In spite of the emprah’s wishes
we get a human (mainly white) empire with an imperial religion
where the church is a part of the empire, not outside of it like started happening in the west 1500 years ago
there happened a schizm, a dualism of powers that were previously united
which caused the modern schizophrenia of spirituality was something divorced from, as it were, daily life
schizophrenia means etymologically ‘split mindedness’
christianity has always been quite manichean
king/emperor/pharoah was the midpoint between heaven and earthly affairs, more so than priests or astrologers
yeah
he was the high priest, above the mere priests
but also the chief warrior
& lawmaker
So he was Warrior, poet and priest
A full statesman
Multiclass
right, but the priesthood got lost in the late roman empire
and then replaced by christian priests
who soon started vieing for power against the empire
so it was like a betrayal
the first schizm
then the church itself split
and split again
and again
and now we have 10.000.000 churches all saying they´re the right church of the world
it´s tracable via cladaistics
first there´s church of rome, which becomes catholicism, which splits into catholicism and orthodox, catholicism splits into catholicism and protestantism, orthodox splits into number of different orthodox, protestantism splits into this and that, which comes down to Jehovas, Mormons, and you know the rest
while in Rome, pagan Rome, there was simply one priesthood of the state
The word became atomized
right
And no longer with God…
Interesting
right this all splits into trillion atheist branches
godless communists
This is reminding me of the Tower of babel
Powerful revelation
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
the utopianism starts with cults like gnostic cults
yeah
ein volk, ein reich, ein emperor!
