Sounds like a radical liberal according to the discription
Hm well he was married and believed in God
Hm probably was a free thinker, i havent read much by him,
Im told Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is good
Stoicism
Already own it
Guess I could give it a read
Bingo
Blake was on another level than just a liberal, he was on the level of prophet. Good or Evil i dont know, but at least he believed in Jesus and God and seems to be in love with spirit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_The_Emanation_of_the_Giant_Albion
Is this like don Quixote?
Ah but as for advice, maybe not
Blake seems to be trying to illustrate the ineffable
Its artsy
To say what cant be said
Maybe one day
The Gita is rather dope. Found it at Airborne school in the 1990s, looked at it for a half an hour. Thought it was weird, put it down. Now its dope though. Just a dude having an existential crisis and God is answering all his questions.
The issue is translations. The one the hare Krishnas sell is fine, but they have a personal agenda to promote their brand. There are translations that are more fair out there.
Plenty on amazon
As long as it has the original sanskrit and transliteration you can look at that to infer the meaning if the translation doesnt sit right.
India has had God come down and visit 9 times in the past 10,000 years or so
Thats what they believe.
Our bible is KJV and thats kind of it. Theyve got a lot, a lot a lot more scriptures and 'biblical' books
The "hindu" stuff is a separate thing.
Sanatana Dharma is the name of the religion. Sanatana is sanskrit for 'eternal' and dharma is untranslatable and means something like 'righteousness' or 'religion'
The Gita is mind blowing i think. Maybe Im stupid though
Well I added it to my Amazon list
I don't know if things Will go farther than that though
The point of reading old scriptures and such, is to remind us that nothing is new under the sun
Old dead dudes done been through it
That's what my mentally challenged older brother said on Facebook after he posted a bunch of stuff with Gino Jennings and Luis ferrikan for me to look at
Heh well i dont claim to be a genius
He's not a jlp fan
Matter of fact he's not a fan of me either!

to change without wanting change is to be in a position that one didnt choose, but yet is forced to make one react in a way one hasnt before that also submits one to a life choice.. maybe one has had an experience that depicts future choices without being conscious of it happening 😮
that's what i would call a feat
Isn't transliteration just the conversion of alphabet?
Is that what you meant?
