The Mabinogion - Davies.pdf
1.3 MB
The Mabinogion is a valuable resource for any Celtic pagan. It's a collection of Welsh folktales compiled in the 12-13th century, but like the Eddas, originating in much earlier pagan times. Several contain denoscriptions of Pre-Christian beliefs and practices.

Marduk wants more than "to run with" in Egypt. He considers that his father, who created entirely the human race ("Sapiens-sapiens", because fertilized directly by Enki and his own seed) and everything on Earth with his Annunaki, is de facto the god of the Earth. As his noscript indicates it clearly: En-ki prince of the Earth
It is true that at the origins of history, the arrival of Enlil on Earth, with the blessing of Anu, dispossesses Enki FOR THE SECOND TIME of his throne. After having built and organized everything on Earth, the whole thing is removed from him to be given to his brother
(At first, Anu refused that Enki marries Ninhursag, who was nevertheless his love. He gave her to Enlil. Then, besides his successive dispossessions, his family destroyed all his creation and not only once. In particular "his children", as he often says it, us, the human race. Moreover, Enki speaks, in The Lost Book, about his sadness, his pain, and his "bitter fate" while remaining determined to protect us, how can he still have so much love for mankind)
Marduk supports strongly his father. He is, in addition, more virulent and rebellious that Enki. He is not only a proud god who wants the power. He is a god determined to get justice because for him, his fight, his quest of power is right and legitimate for Enki at first, for him, then.
But, driven by his bitter feeling of injustice and wanting at all costs to be recognized, Marduk falls into megalomania and establishes a kind of "monotheism" prematurely.
The hymn to Ra, on his orders, stipulates clearly:
"Ra, Lord of eternity,
he who everlastingness has made,
over all the gods presiding,
The one who is without equal,
the great solitary and sole one"
(Imagine the reaction of the other gods, when this hymn was sung)
But Marduk persists. He is Ra. Son of Enki/Ptah, three times heir, he thus gets back by rights the attributions of the other gods
"As Enlil I am for lordship and decrees, As Ninurta for the hoe and combat. As Adad for lightning and thunder. As Nannar for illuminating the night. As Utu, I am Shamash. As Nergal over the Lower World I reign. As Gibil the golden depths I know, whence copper and silver come I have found. As Ningishzidda numbers and their count I command, the heavens announce my glory"
When Marduk says this, the next era of Aries, his Age is announced and he takes over the role of Zeus for the Greeks. He as Zeus then becomes a centralised Head God over other Olympians, by his will
Marduk first as Amon-Ra unifies both Egypt. Replace the worship of the Moon (Thoth) by that of the Sun. He appoints the first king of the reunited Egypt: Menes (Mena)
With the Help of his Son Nabu-Apollo. They founded the Roman Republic through Romulus and Remus. Janus was Enki/Ea
(Nabu was represented by the planet Mars with the Six Pointed Star and associated astrologically to Mercury by the Babylonians)
Nabu at his father's behest was appointed over the Romans as Phoebus Apollo later syncretized with Helios (Enki/Ea), supporting Octavian and the later emperors through guiding their political decisions by oracle. (He was the messenger of Rome)
The Roman empire was created after Julius death and subsumed the Hellenic states and Egypt along with it by the will of Marduk who made himself the sole head God of the pantheon, Jupiter
Enki himself considers the actions of Marduk as excessive
Prior to Marduk's desire for recognition, power and status among the Gods leading to his Rome. Enki reprimands him for unifying the Egyptian states into one:
"What has you overpowered?
Unheard of, are your pretensions"
"The magnificence of the reunited Egypt exceeds all that was made"
says Enki
Ptah to help the expansion of the second region gives Marduk all the ME, except the one which allows to return the dead to life (whom he gave to Imhotep-Asklepios) and offers to his son the constellation of Aries
Under Marduk however, the Egyptians were having success in their harvests so much so that the development of the third region of Inanna was started.

During my time using telegram, I've created several custom themes.
Here are some of the most aestheticly pleasing ones. You can apply these under "chat settings" if you use the *android app*

"No matter how small, a change can still be part of something greater. Even then, when he held a position of power, he fought for all of them to be treated equally. He considered everyone as a human being, even those who stood against him."

Victory would hold no value if it was obtained without toil, and the spoils of war though they be golden artifacts would be nothing more than hollow shells, worthless.
Therefore what manner of reward do you hope to attain without sweat? Are you still searching for shortcuts, for hacks? There are none. The Immortals would allow no such thing.
Isn't that which is superior to man by its very nature meant to challenge man? To elevate him. To allow the best there is to shine forth and leave behind the mediocre at best, multitude?
In that case, suffer today so that what seems like torture to mere mortals tomorrow be nothing more than frivolity to you.

St. Augustine:
“God tests in order to open things up to people, heretics test in order to shut God out from themselves.”
“Now it is true that people cannot see the devil they are fighting with, but they have a very easy remedy for that; let them conquer themselves within, and they will triumph over him without.”
“You do not know yourself unless you learn yourself through trial, temptation, and testing.”

WE ARE OUR MISSION
What is a body if not a biological gathering of material in the furtherance of an essential will?
What is a nation if not a reflection, at a larger scale, of the same will which drives the constitution of one body?
You are what is essential, not what is incidental, therefore you must be what is your raison d'etre.

"Let your reason be supreme. Inculcate the habit of deliberation.
Practice the art of testing whether particular things are actually good or not. Learn to wait and assess instead of always reacting from untrained instinct. Spontaneity is not a virtue in and of itself.
If some pleasure is promised to you and it seductively calls to you, step back and give yourself some time before mindlessly jumping at it. Dispassionately turn the matter over in your mind: Will this pleasure bring momentary delight, or real, lasting satisfaction? It makes a difference in the quality of our life and the kind of person we will become when we learn how to distinguish between cheap thrills and meaningful, lasting rewards.
If, in calmly considering this pleasure, you realize that if you indulge in it you will regret it, abstain and rejoice in your forbearance. Reinforce the triumph of your character and you will be strengthened."

He was enamored of the idea of the lever and its ability to multiply force.

Many times when hardship comes, we have our own plans for how to handle it.
We have plan A, B, C, D, etc., and after we have exhausted all of those, we find ourselves in that place where we say, “If God doesn’t come through for me, it is over with. This is horrible.” But actually, it is not horrible because it is an opportunity for God to show His glory.
When times are tough, we have a built-in instinct to become dependent upon God for strength that is needed. It is obvious that so many of us are growing weary in these dark days of oppression that we live.
Struggles surround us at every corner, and it is hard to stave off the growing fears of uncertainty. We were told in the Scripture that these times would come and test the faithful.
Remember, when you get to the end of yourself, you get to the beginning of God.
