The thing for me is that being new to football (started watching (here and there, ocassionally) a few years ago, also I did watch some football when I was a kid) itās always a surprise and I would have no idea what to expect lol AND I like surprises lol, if I can I root for the underdog (unless I like the other team better, but fir me not being a huge fan, Iām nit attached to any team or teams lol; obviously I would have loved to see Romania though, but that train is gone lol; Germany has joined Tha train as well lol, well, it is what it is), I would usually do it.

Although Iām a weird one, as being a lover of History, I can see their whole glorious past, behind the national teams or other teams etc., so for me, Germany = the very CENTRE of Europe, the heart of the Holy Roman Empire and the root of most European nations, at least the western ones, due to the Germanic migrations and the establishment of post Roman Germanic kingdoms all across Europe (and not only) thus I was rooting for Germany, YET I also wanted Paraguay to win too, being the underdog lolā¦
Also, Latin America is the bearer of the Spanish and other European elements, like the legacy of the Latin (Romans and Latinized people) element(s), etc.
So, civilization al wise, it was the clash of two related yet opposite Powers and Legacies lolā¦
And of course we canāt deny/forget the local elements for Paraguay like the Mestizo population resulting from the homigenization of Guarani and Spanish people.
So, football can be viewed as a clash of ethnicities, cultures, powers (old, in spirit and new in national terms, since nations are more modern creations) etc.

All the interesting things seem to happen when I either leave or returnā¦
When it was getting Biblical here, yāall had me concerned that Iād turn into a salt pillar if I spent any time looking backā¦
Anywaysānobody misses me, so Iām back by unpopular demand lol.
I donāt know that Iām on board with all of the changes that are on the agendaā¦ Iām of a split mind. Even back on the earliest of the enlightenedstates.com site, I loved the aesthetic and the ideas behind it. But I also was averse to the sort of consumerism that seemed to exist around spiritual things. Iām a bit on the elitist side and I want people to just get to the deeper work and do their own work. But itās good that it can reach and help people who may otherwise not get that chance.
Itās too easy to burn bridges so Iāll keep a line open, even if I donāt post much.
The internet in general seems to f*ck with my mind. More now than before, it seems like the collective mind that exists around internetworked communication systems creates a sort of crust or layer that oppresses and blocks my mind from the more fundamental and true layers of things. So itās better when I put less out there, because then thereās less noise that feeds back.
Like many people, I still donāt know the full story of whatās gone on around here. I donāt know, and I donāt like that I donāt know. But hopefully things work out for the best, eventually.
Oddly enough, I had been doing my ADHD research, mania, fugue-state thing. I had been pulled into the mysticism of the arabic writing system, and how it seems to have greater documentation and antiquity than the Hebrew (though mostly untranslated). That has led me to Ismailāism. They have a unique history where the Prophet, (peace be upon him) transmitted secret knowledge to Ali and this was then transmitted down to the Imam Sadiq (peace be upon them both). That secret knowledge was then transmitted through different apocrypha that the ismaili sect picked up. Some of it was cosmological and gnostic in character, but Jabir Ibn Hayyan was also supposed to be a recipient of itāThe quintessential alchemist, and major source for european alchemy.
Well, it turns out that the Hashashin sect was related to this Ismaili branch and had libraries that were extensive related to a range of mystical and practical things. They are lost to history, so this is all just legend. But it was neat to find a sort of spiritual simpatico with the historical Hashashins, Hassan I-Sabbah, and the Taoist Alchemy tradition.
Oddly enough, that got me looking into the Siddha tradition and how it claims a link to Jesus, Mohammed, and Lao Tzuā¦ Which got me ping-ponging in my research on the relation between spanda and sanskritā¦ and the relations to Tamil and itās mystical writing systemā¦ and then connections to the symbology of the 214 radicals of Chineseā¦ and then the mystery of the phonetics of Japanese, which was discussed in the Oomoto new shinto religionā¦ andā¦ anywaysā¦ there are many interesting ways of modeling the energetic cosmos tied into language and the symbols used for writing.
But anyways ā the Arabic and Ismaili mysticism had me looking back into Assassinās Creed, since I am frequently nostalgic.
But that got me thinking, it was AC-2 that was out when a lot of this work with fields and sound files was getting started.
It seems like life always changes, but itās good when we can keep the good things going. Time is always a deep subject, and the soul is frequently understood as being timeless. This clip struck me as something that dipped into that timelessness, even though life itself seems to change. Itās a blast from the past, but Iāll post it anyways:

Brother, if I would understand or know even 10% of what you know I would think I know a lot lolā¦
So, the issue becomes this: youāre a TRUE researcher.
Idk about your spiritual path nor about any practical inner workings you might do, but the sheer amount of informations you have collected over the years is staggering lol.
So, could I ever converse with you about those subjects?
ONLY if I would study them lolā¦
Which probably wonāt happen for a while (this lifetime maybe, possibly Idk)ā¦
Edit: I LOVE The AC games but I have not touched them in years.
