Seer777 (OP) Ride the wings of the mind User ID: 534086 United States 09/12/2023 04:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | “Many stories start long before they begin, and Brutha's story had its origins thousands of years before his birth. Quoting: Seer777 There are billions of gods in the world. They swarm as thick as herring roe. Most of them are too small to see and never get worshiped, at least by anything bigger than a bacteria, who never say their prayers and don't demand much in the way of miracles. They are the small gods - the spirits of places where two ant trails cross, the gods of microclimates down between the grass roots. And most of them stay that way. Because what they lack is belief. A handful, though, go on to greater things. Anything may trigger it. A shepherd, seeking a lost lamb, finds it among the briars and takes a minute or two to build a small cairn of stones in general thanks to whatever spirits might be around the place. Or a peculiarly shaped tree becomes associated with a cure for disease. Or someone carves a spiral on an isolated stone. Because what gods need is belief, and what humans want is gods. Often it stops there. But sometimes it goes further. More rocks are added, more stones are raised, a temple is built on the site where the tree once stood. The god grows in strength, the belief of its worshipers raising it upwards like a thousand tons of rocket fuel. For a very few, the sky's the limit. And sometimes, not even that.” - Terry Pratchett, Small Gods https://imgur.com/a/XMc8Z2H Hokora-Japanese “Faeries shines”? Typically, hokora enshrine minor kami of protection, although more major deities may be venerated in hokora too. The fox statues surrounding the hokora pictured on the top of the page indicate a connection with Inari Okamisama, while the hokora above (and many of the hokora I have personally seen in Japan) enshrine Jizo Bosatsu. Jizo is a very interesting deity, as he is originally a Buddhist Bodhisattva, who has come to be venerated as a protector of children and travellers as Japan. Often depicted as small and rather endearing, Jizo is a popular deity among the Japanese, and he is often worshipped in a similar manner to the Shinto kami. This is another example of the syncretic nature of Japanese religions, where at the folk level, Shinto, Buddhism and other folk beliefs merge so much that trying to separate them becomes very difficult and, arguably, meaningless.

Quoting: Seer777 It a system of pressure and waves and vibration. Like music you can't hear or see. Yes and it's amazing. Quoting: Seer777 I think that is why we dance with it. Deaf people can still feel vibrations.. Deaf People Can "Feel" Music Dean Shibata, MD, found that deaf people are able to sense vibrations in the same part of the brain that others use for hearing. Shibata was at the University of Rochester School of Medicine in New York at the time of the study. He studied 10 students with profound hearing loss from birth and compared them to 11 hearing people. Each person was asked to tell the researchers when they were able to detect a vibrating pipe in their hand. At the same time, brain scans were done to pick up signals being transmitted to the brain. Shibata found that when the deaf people felt the vibrations, areas in the brain that are usually responsible for hearing showed activity.

Quoting: Facts>feelings Would an antichrist or world teacher have a universal ping I suppose? Yeah. I think about that conversation a lot. Would they have a reliable firewall? Oh , ok. Sorry the thought was fully formed in my mind so I just presented it like it was in everyone else's too. You know how that goes. Quoting: Facts>feelings It would be an energy/sound that everyone responded back to and echoed when heard/felt. That ofcourse being how a ping gains access. Is that why it bounces? Because it is echo? Yes. That is how ping works in computers and nature. Quoting: Facts>feelings In computers you ping another computer or network with a signal. If it is a signal the network recognizes as safe it answers repeating the same signal granting you access to the network. Like a secret knock or code word. Birds for example do the same thing. They have a call unique to their species and the birds of the same species in ear shot answer it. Repeating it. So then, universal ping would be a signal that everyone echoes back automatically? Like a source code? Or Allsong? Yes essentially. The simplest example I can give of humans pinging each other is a smile. Those that accept the smile will return it genuinely.
