Christianity EtcJourney To The Underworld And Payments by HugeElephant(op):
Gold, weapons, money, soldiers or slaves (human Life). I have always wondered why people are sometimes buried with gold in their coffin. Sometimes, others are buried with money stuffed in the casket. If the dead man is high ranking (kings, queens, fighters, and Nobel men) higher prices are required, like human life for their burial

In Metaphysical aspects, it's been proven there is a life after death and a price to pay for the journey. What is hard to understand is how much or how payments are made in the underworld.

Different cultures who never came in contact with each other for centuries turns out to have a similar practice all around the world.
In a novel, "Joys Of Motherhood", by Buchi Emecheta, it details how Chief Gbadi's dead wife Agunwa was buried with a slave unwilling to follow her master to the underworld.


In Igbo, there is a saying that goes thus,
“Onwu ama eze”. Death does not recognize or know a king. But when an Obi dies, according to funerary preparations, a human sacrifice must accompany the Obi in his burial.

Also among the Yoruba, kings at the point of demise aren't left alone their journey. Part of the requirements for funerary preparations is an "abobaku" or its equivalent. "Abobaku" means 'he who dies with the king'.

On a lighter note, let's assume the gatekeeper collects bitcoln or paypaI or even physical currency, payment will be easier if one decides to engage in a Suicide. But metaphysical reality is different.

At every point in life, from birth to death, a payment is required.

These elements explain the five building blocks of life: solid (earth), liquid (water), gas (air), Fire And Spirit

They are the building block of life as we know it. As such, at the point of death, all elements shall equally depart to its source.

RomanceCellphone In Our Dreams? by HugeElephant(op):
Has anyone ever had themselves use a Cellphone in their dreams. I mean like calling and texting properly ? Do that exist in ‘real(dream)world ?

Even if you see a phone, I doubt you will be able to use it appropriately to make a call or send a text. Its like the simulation algorithms in the dream world don't allow the use of phones
Christianity EtcYou Can Question God by HugeElephant(op): 2:27am On Nov 11, 2023
Humans go about their days with inclinations toward good or evil since Life is meant to happen. In the Song "Deceiving Eve" by Tory Lanes, there is a narrative of how Adam and Eve ate the apple. And how everything could have been perfect but it's imperfect. John Milton too in his iconic "Paradise Lost" narrate Adam and Eve's choice.

If things aren't right, at least I'm human and can question the Most High. Regardless what the questions are, the Most High remains the Most High.

I can question the most high. Because these events seem pre-determined. According to Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you... ".


He is a God of purpose. He has a particular purpose for these situations. He knows every soul right from the "souls journey ". I'm only human if I desire to understand the disappointments and pain.

Some say, "You can't question God". Perhaps the question won't change a thing or two but atleast the heart is relived.
Whatever happens, just pray, by being thankful and aknowledge things could have been perfect but it's imperfect.

Nbote:
If occupying it totally will make dem have sense so be it
These fights are calculated and Hamas wasn't intelligent enough to know. This explains why Hamas was left to wreck enough havoc.
It was a bait.

In war, blood and land (with its produce either oil, water or gold) are seen as proceeds of victory.
Foreign AffairsIsrael Raises Its Flag In Gaza by HugeElephant(op): 10:10am On Nov 10, 2023
The video below shows Israel IDF raising the country's flag in Gaza close to the sea. Gaza Strip borders the Mediterranean Sea, between Egypt and Israel; it is slightly more than twice the size of Washington, D.C.

Now the argument is, is Israel fight against some terrorists or an occupation of Gaza in order to take over its land?
If it were was a fight against terrorists, why raising its flag on another territory?

Who was with her when she took her life?
Do you know if he contributed to what led to the suicide ? These are some of the reasons he was detained I guess; to find out if he's the reason or is directly or indirectly connected to the suicide.

e.
This is stupid. It's your Personal decision to end your life how and when you decide to too (if all thoughts goes as planned)
Everyone has been at an edge of contemplating sucide at one point in life.

As an adult, she must have thought it wise not to consult her own family about her decision.

She has made the best decision for her anyway. The best decision of not considering her kids welfare after she's gone. What a coward
EducationRe: Human Physiology by HugeElephant(op): 7:50am On Nov 10, 2023
There is a pattern with which living organisms function, that is, the chemistry and physics behind basic body functions. from how molecules behave in cells to how systems of organs work together.

It helps us understand what happens in a healthy body in everyday life and what goes wrong when someone gets sick.
EducationHuman Physiology by HugeElephant(op): 7:45am On Nov 10, 2023
Human physiology is the science of the functioning of human organs and the cells that compose them. Human physiology studies the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions that determine the health of an individual. While anatomy studies form, physiology is the study of function.

Bro don't let your guard down. Avoid work place romance with that motherfuxker, don't let her win.

Don't even get her number. Because obviously she is scheming to get you...

If she comes at you treat every convo based on official level. Don't smile at any of her silly jokes. Don't entertain her, keep her at an arms length.

You guys might know me well for always begging on this platform, always broke, always looking for a job, but the universe didn't forget about me as I thought it did, I am a 25years old chronic introvert it's worst when am jobless cus I can be indoors for 1week straight, I stopped believing a job would set me financially free long time ago but wetin man go do " you never give up right"? So I was always searching for a job but many still called me lazy because am an introvert many hated me because of my nature like it's my nature I can't change it..... but I never gave up on bet and the truth was that I moved up to playing only jackpot games because I believe nothing is impossible for the universe now am a millionaire I won 53million naira with 100# playing the jackpot games, I am truly grateful to the universe, I am cus I have been through a lot and I deserve what I got.......
Am just posting this to motivate others like me especially the introvert guys that think dey can never make it being an introvert well the good news is that you can, you can get a laptop learn an online skill and be making money at home yes you can, you see the word "believe" is a very strong word and it works just like walking and running my question is do you believe you can become a millionaire?? That you can be financially set for life, that you can be rich ?? Do you believe you are a potential millionaire ??
All you gotta do is believe and let the universe use you as an instrument to make your beliefs come true.....thank you
I believe you bro. I am happy for you
