Having a close relationship with Nature is probably the most powerful thing you can do for your health. Even more powerful than relationships with people. People can betray you, Nature never will🌿

The propaganda that you will hear from the platonists is that "platonism is necessary to form a metaphysical argument against abrahamism." Not only did that fail abysmally in antiquity, but platonism and christianity teamed up multiple times to attack and undermine traditional Pagan faiths.

Not only this, but they have pretty much the exact same philosophical and metaphysical arguments. In essence, it is platonism versus platonism.

The christians in antiquity viewed plato and his mission as a noble one in their eyes, because both the christians and the platonists were out to destroy traditional Pagan faiths. One at the behest of the jew "god", the other at the behest of plato avenging the condemned heretic socrates. This is why it cannot be allowed within our sphere. It is only there to subvert traditional belief and to rewrite the legends just as Plato wished. If you doubt my words, read the beginning passage of book 3 of Plato's Republic. In fact here's an audio book version:

The christians & philosophers of late antiquity knew that plato was not only against traditional Pagan belief, but they preached the doctrine of one god: the one, the good, the alone, the divine darkness.

Middle platonism fused with early judeo-christianity to form gnosticism using the concepts of the demiurge, Sofia and one god in plato's timaeus.

It is almost certain that plotinus went to the same platonic academy as the christian theologian origin. Hypatia, a platonic philosopher, taught many christians in her time, before being murdered by them.

Take the nag hamadi library, an ancient christian library, where they preserved the works of plato, including the most complete and most well preserved copy of book 6 of plato's republic ever found.

If platonism was "the paragon of Pagan thought", and we know christianity was vehemently against Pagan thought, why was it preserved by judeo-christians? Why did they easily incorporate platonism into their theology? Why did they team up together multiple times?

The above two posts are an interesting dichotomy of worldviews.

The original post ( here https://t.me/TheSacredStew/429 ) tries to make a rhetorical point by stating, "

"Why would a Christian missionary try to persuade the Germanic people that their Gods aren't omnipotent, beneficent, and just unless they really did hold these beliefs?"

The answer is not as complicated as Einheri attempts to make it. Quite simply, the Christians try to convince heathens that their God (Christian god) was greater because (as Christians claim) the Christian God is Omnipotent (a concept which is antithetical to a true polytheistic belief see post shared below).

A literal reading of germanic mythology would never lead one to assume the gods were/are omnipotent, in-fact it is quite the opposite. One can look at the mythology of the High One (Odin), who is always in search of knowledge.

@PaganRevivalism aptly points out in his reply to the first post. The first quoted text specifically implies that germanic folk believed in and understood their stories and gods literally.

It has always been true that germanics have firmly understood they are descended from their gods, this letter shared by Einheri quite literally proves the point that this is the case. Pope Boniface knew it was futile to try to convince germanic folk about their genealogy, perhaps these modern Platonists would take heed to his advice and stop trying to convince our folk that we are not descended directly from our gods.

Concerning the christian concept of an omniscient and omnipotent God.

It is impossible for a singular God to be omniscient and at the same time not to make his message and will clear to all. What I mean by this is, christians are made up by thousands of unique denominations, each claiming to interpret the "message" of "God" in their unique way. If the concept of God, as perceived by the Christians is true, and if God really wanted to "save the souls of his children" he would make his message very clear to all with no room for various interpretations. God can not be omniscient and at the same time make this alleged "message" not clear enough so that people would understand the message all the same.

Christians will argue that this is all by design to give people free will to choose, but naturally this implies God created something imperfect and that his "message" was imperfect since the message is not obvious and literally understood the same for all people. This can only mean that this christian "God" is fallible and not omniscient nor omnipotent as they claim.

The Sig-Rune is the Rune that ‘gives Victory’ [Sieg verleiht], in other words, subdues the enemy, makes him “sick” (wounded): without power and without force. The Victor has the Upper-Hand, and thus is the Superior, while the “Sick-One” is the Inferior, the Forceless, the Low-Sunken.

It is the Rune of “Sal und Sieg” or “Salvation/Health and Victory”, of the Light, of Salvation, of the Soul, and of the igniting Lightning [zündenden Blitzes]. Our Ancestors carved it into their weapons.
Each victory over oneself and others is an increase, an occasion that makes us happy, it is sal (“salvation” and “well being”).
