The use of concepts imo tends to become ideological. What 'view on reality' would a meditator 'choose'?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485583244199236996.post-19118648034290766152020-10-17T12:05:22.081-07:002020-10-17T12:05:22.081-07:00First of all, yes, European and Aryan are not syno...First of all, yes, European and Aryan are not synonyms. Aryan is, though, a loose synonym for Indo-European used by many people, and used even more in the early to mid 20th century. Indo-European is not merely a linguistic concept, as it refers also to tribes of people who spoke that group of languages, who had their own distinctive cultures. And to say that Christianity began as a reform movement of an Aryan religion is simply absurd. The pagans were trying to get their paganism back on track with attempts like Neoplatonism, but the deification of a dead Hebrew won out in the long run.Paññobhāsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148206217028034038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485583244199236996.post-49390840050560381932020-10-17T11:42:32.903-07:002020-10-17T11:42:32.903-07:00"Christianity, though, in its very origins, c..."Christianity, though, in its very origins, could hardly be called European or “Aryan”—that is, Indo-European.

European and Aryan are no synonyms, Aryan, which is a racial category is no synonym for Indo-European, which is a linguistic concept. Christianity began as a reform movement of the forgotten Aryan (Proto-Christian) faith and Judaism evolved later as a rabbinic contre reaction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278695111467489286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485583244199236996.post-81484231278539910032019-08-11T04:15:45.893-07:002019-08-11T04:15:45.893-07:00Have you studied Carl Jung?

He calls this the collective unconscious, its best explained in "the origins and history of consciousness" by Erich Neumann. <br />The gods are descriptors of archetypes in our mind. For example, Oden is a restless seeker of knowledge and conflict. He is probably hanging out somewhere in your unconscious.<br />Our collective consciousness has been passed down for thousands of years from our ancestors. Europe was only fully Christianised by around 1200. I find it hard to believe that paganism is just re-enacting old beliefs as you say. The gods are still there, we just have to open our minds to them and give them a chance.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
