I really dislike it when people hear the word Germanic and assume that English as it's spoken today is somehow derived from the ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ language. This terrible naming scheme has done nothing but encourage midwits for decades
Also the implication that a single one syllable word is somehow derived from three different languages at the same time and that English was required to borrow profanity from two other Germanic languages rather than just having a fucking cognate word
Take me back
From this day forward I will not be using the word Germanic anymore. I am a Teuton, I speak a Teutonic language and I come from lost island of Thule

I think the images are beautiful but don't really do them justice
Here are Jonas Pfeiffer's original animations
First is the Ophan, described by Ezekiel as "Their appearance was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel, and their rings were full of eyes round about them four"
"Each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly"
And by St. John in Revelation:
"And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within"
And the Cherub, described by Ezekiel:
"They had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. The face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and the face of an ox on the left side; they also had the face of an eagle."
Every time you say "a priori", you're condemned to an extra 50 cycles of death and rebirth before you can escape Samsara
Or an additional ~3000 years in Purgatory for those who partake
This also applies to anyone who calls their beliefs "priors", the similarity in words is completely coincidental but it's the same kind of people saying both
Step 2 is accepting the fact that you cannot induce a mystical experience. You can try drugs or 432hz binaural beats or meditating or a sensory deprivation chamber or chanting forbidden spells in an ancient tongue, none of it makes you any more likely to connect with the divine
When St Thomas Aquinas had a mystical experience near the end of his life, he refused to continue writing because he felt everything he had written was completely worthless in comparison to those few moments. The Summa Theologicaโhis life's work, would remain incomplete
