RE: @mindhunter discusses: Which cryptocurrency do you believe is likely to explode next (in terms of price)?
ETH/USD Forecast: Risk of an extended correction remains in the short term only. A crucial support area near $310.00-325.00 is still intact, which is a positive sign. I fully expect it to attempt the $360 resistance again soon, so hop on for the ride. This is a long game here, and I can see your sentiments may change when it heads back to $400 again.
Bank or no bank, garbage or not garbage, ETH will be on the rise again soon :)
perhaps but it will take a long time, and since i don't play the markets as a wise friend once told me wink wink it doesn't bother me haha
Did we wake in combative mode this morning?? LOL! I like it when you do that :)
No not today, although its funny that you call tell when I am! Not today though haha
The Latino and the Scot eh! Were as mad as a bag of cut snakes as they say in Australia! LOL! :)
Did you ever read any of John Allergo books. Are you into gnostic teaching? Anyway he studied the texts and said that Jesus was a mushroom because of the power the sacred plants hold, today we can call them Shaman, they ones who can move into higher realms, now I don't believe jesus was mushroom, but don't you find it weird that the Nag texts were at the same time as Jesus and not one mention of him. One sentence said Christos but if was the Jesus that died on the cross. I think time in a sense was reset and we have almost a sense of amnesia about our past, it is suppressed, imagine if the Library of Alexandria was never burned down. The Vatican loves control uh?
I've not read that particular book, but I've read his other one 'The End of the Road'.
Such a theory, if true would seem to strike at the very heart of Western philosophy and ethics; small wonder that Mr. Allegro's book aroused passionate feelings, much as Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds of Collision did nearly twenty-five years ago(1945). The validity of the Bible, the status of the Church, the moral foundations of our thought and institutions for the past 2000 years -- all are called into question if Mr. Allegro's argument is to be accepted.
In The End of a Road Mr. Allegro assumes the correctness of his theory and proceeds to build upon the destruction it must inevitably occasion. The result is a frest concept of humanism strong enough to compensate for the lost faith and capable, through reason and technology, of leading mankind down a broader and better road to a more satisfying future. Reeducation, self-disipline, courage and honesty will be required. This companion volume to a startling, disturbing book is reassuring affirmation of a man's ability to transcend his fears and fashion his own destiny :)
very detailed answer there Shane! He was allowed to view and study the dead sea scrolls as wel
Another thing that bothers me about Allegro's "fogeyish" mentality is his dated diatribe about hallucinogens. He called early Christians and Judaic mystics druggies, and he bandied the phrases "pot head" and "drug addict" or "druggie" with some beligerance. He tried too hard to dissociate himself from the counter culture of the 60's, but in so doing gave the appearance of being a propaganda machine, wearing his politics on his sleeve. Such blind prejudice is annoying and cuts into his objectiveness, further jeopardizing his credibility. Did Mr. Allegro have some unresolved issues with drugs? I wonder, but his generalizations throughout the End of a Road were broad-brushed, stereotypical and unoriginal. He should not have strayed from a lucrative and respectible position on the DSS translation team into social scientist or armchair historian, roles at which he was not especially proficient.
OK, hunter out .... :)
Correct, he was allowed to see the scrolls. For me Allegro boldly promotes an atheistic humanism, and I can appreciate boldness, and I don't begrudge him atheism. However, what he doesn't tell you is that the fantastic evolutionary leaps in science, of all things, were made largely by men and women who were seeking God or divine manifestation, not fact. You want names? How about Pythagoras, or Galileo, or Isaac Newton, or Albert Einstein?
It's not impossible to imagine that a scholar who spent a lifetime translating Hebrew and Aramaic intertestimental religious texts would become disenchanted and burned out. After all, the Essenes wrote war scrolls, temple scrolls, and Messianic prophecies, but in 70 AD they were wiped out by the Romans. A lot of good all of that prayer and planning for an overthrow of the "Kittim" and "Sons of Belial" did them! I often reflect on that irony, myself.
The reality is, humans have a need, and are perhaps hard-wired to seek God consciousness. In our search for God, we may not come face to face with Him, but we certainly uncover marvelous and enduring treasures as a byproduct of our God-quest. This is the conundrum of science, that it profits best when we seek the mystical. Humans without God dry up eventually. I'm not even especially religious, yet I recognize that much :) <3
My favourite Gnostic musing artist is Ian Brown ... I love this Mariachi themed tune ... his wife is Mexican ... I bet she's a handful!!
