Yes, Tantra and Dzogchen.
It allows you to reach higher states of awareness like the kind psychedelics and ecstasy produce without having to imbibe anything.

Before the Phoenicians arrived
Any clues?
It was a pretty rich land at the time wasn't it?
I'm trying to find something about pre Phoenician Tunisia and I can't find shit
I mean it was a good land for agriculture, and could easily trade with Egypt or Europe by boat, weird.

You can honestly claim the same thing about the Celts of modern day France and England or any other "barbarian" group of people.
of course there where people living there but back then it was probably just another land filled with loosely based communities and haven't mastered the art of writing.
Hence this is why only when the more learned Phoenicians arrive (whom have been a group of people located in the middle a culture hotspot) then thus the place gain both recognition and finally had people recording their own history on text.

>You can honestly claim the same thing about the Celts of modern day France
Not really, Neolithic and Bronze age cultures left behind remarkable remains in France: menhirs, dolmen, mausoleums, shit tons of bronze tools, weapons, fucking sophisticated bronze cuirasses (pic related was made in 1000 bc), and Celts had even cities in Germany in Pre Roman times (7th century bc)
Tunisians or Algerians/Moroccans had literally nothing like this
It's not about writing, they didn't leave any monument, artwork or sophisticated weapon/tools behind

An ocean of tears
"Which is greater, the tears you have shed while transmigrating & wandering this long, long time — crying & weeping from being joined with what is displeasing, being separated from what is pleasing — or the water in the four great oceans?... This is the greater: the tears you have shed...
"Long have you (repeatedly) experienced the death of a mother. The tears you have shed over the death of a mother while transmigrating & wandering this long, long time — crying & weeping from being joined with what is displeasing, being separated from what is pleasing — are greater than the water in the four great oceans.
"Long have you (repeatedly) experienced the death of a father... the death of a brother... the death of a sister... the death of a son... the death of a daughter... loss with regard to relatives... loss with regard to wealth... loss with regard to disease. The tears you have shed over loss with regard to disease while transmigrating & wandering this long, long time — crying & weeping from being joined with what is displeasing, being separated from what is pleasing — are greater than the water in the four great oceans.
"Why is that? From an inconstruable beginning comes transmigration. A beginning point is not evident, though beings hindered by ignorance and fettered by craving are transmigrating & wandering on. Long have you thus experienced stress, experienced pain, experienced loss, swelling the cemeteries — enough to become disenchanted with all fabricated things, enough to become dispassionate, enough to be released."

Buddhism just seems to be more sympathetic to the human condition better than religions that merely claim hurr durr worship/believe x and be saved, or else go to hell.

Anyone else really like reading about the history and developments of various languages?
Also anyone else really big on language purity, i.e. the autism countries like France and Iceland have where they try to minimize foreign influences and bastardization of their languages as much as possible. I couldn't give a shit about racial or cultural purity but I can completely understand the mindset of trying to preserve a language as is.

I only care about it to the extent that it makes the language efficient.
Foreign influences are completely okay, if they improve the language. For example, the way the French have named the numbers 21-80 is complete nonsense and should be scrapped as soon as possible.
English is full of irregular words that are completely arbitrary and should be replaced.
Fuck traditions if the traditions are dumb. Preserve them if they make sense.

>Hittites invent iron and avoid unnecessary conflicts
>Ramses makes monuments to himself
Was this guy a douchebag or what? Keep in mind that King Tut died without an heir and Ramses was only a military commander who took the throne.

Hittites didnt invent iron, iron was present both in pre hittite Anatolian sites And in other near eastern sites, it was just rarest used And Hittites still used mainly bronze weapons as did The rest of the near easterners until 1100-1000 BC
>>
>>3194090
Ok, inventing iron was a poor choice of words, but they developed methods of working with iron to forge weapons and they did use some iron weapons where Ramses had none.

Original and Anti-Treaty side in the civil war were the good ones. As far as I'm concerned the closer you get to modern times the worse they get. Splinter groups many of which don't have an actual agenda besides "Fuck British people" and "United Ireland for people that don't want it".

IRRC it's more popular in Ireland than the north. I think people are still pro United Ireland but aren't willing to endure violence anymore, especially because it hasn't actually accomplished anything in a long time.

Italy literally cost Axis the war.
The idea that the invasion of Russia was a catastrophic failure and a mistake is a myth. It is 1250 kms from Warsaw to Moscow and Operation Barbarossa made it to within 25 kms, the Germans managed to encircle Leningrad and Stalingrad for a while, though they were pushed back after Stalingrad it wasn't until late 1944 that the line collapsed. It is completely feasible that if Germany had a little extra push they could have at least stabilized the front in the east and made it impossible for the Soviet Union to recover, if not collapsing the Soviet Union, claiming the oil wells in the caucasus and other objectives.
The most notable opportunity for this "extra push" was avoiding delays to the start of Operation Barbarossa, delays caused by Italy's failed invasion of Greece which forced Hitler to divert resources to the Balkans campaign while simultaneously repositioning troops from the invasion of France and supplying them. Had this not happened, Germany would have had an extra few crucial months before the Eastern European mud season and Russian winter, certainly enough to begin the battle of Moscow which Hitler would have devoted the entire German war machine into and could be supplied more easily than the battle of Stalingrad.
Italy was not a poorly developed country, it was wealthier than say Romania which provided crucial support on the Eastern front. Italy had equipment and training that rivaled Germany, the UK and France. There is no explanation for Italy's dismal performance in the war other besides something inherent in their character which caused them to develop fantastic dreams of restoring the Roman empire then speedily surrender 10000s of troops and overthrow their own government when it went a little wrong.

Contrary to most people I don't think the Eastern Front couldn't be won, but capturing Moscow wasn't the win condition that most people think it was.
Sex was once sacred and reproductive, it was used to create offspring, new generations of species. It was an act of love and was part of family unit. But then, beasts came and corrupted human sexuality. These beasts were servants of the devil and still exist today. They are known as the Jews too. They want to destroy God by destroying nature.
The beasts created pornography, a tool that will make a man easy to control and fight against his creator, God. God chose pornography as evil act for unknown reasons and respect that. Pornography emits various rays that make a man lust and commit adultery. It corrupts your precious mind.
Happiness after masturbation is just an illusion. Actually you are feeling pain. Masturbation is nothing more than wasting your seed and removing your testosterone.
Nudity was once considered beauty too, but then Adam and Eve ate a fruit and nudity became a shameful act. When you see a nude person, you are committing lust.
God hates pleasure and hedonism. He considers it as same as sloth. He wants you to always work, because work has always a meaning: to make yourself a valuable reward.
Pornography and sexual liberation created an army of weak, beta cuckolds and twisted the meaning of masculinity. Pornography is submission to the arch-enemy of God, the devil. These days everything is about sex thanks to these beasts.
The beasts invented various destructive ideologies such as communism, paganism, feminism etc. They indoctrinate stupid people into their twisted views of the world with their media industries and other lies. Many of these ideologies defend sexual degradation and consider it as good.
Homosexuality is not natural. There are no real homosexual species. When you see a male animal mating other male animal, you should always know that this intercourse is an illusion.
When you commit such obscenity, you are insulting your Father. Go away from this blasphemy and seek help from Jesus and always believe in him, because he will save you.
