They are having a Numinous Experience Rudolf Otto's Concept of the "Numinous" Otto was one of the most influential thinkers about religion in the first half of the twentieth century. He is best known for his analysis of the experience that, in his view, underlies all religion. He calls this experience "numinous," and says it has three components. These are often designated with a Latin phrase: mysterium tremendum et fascinans. As mysterium, the numinous is "wholly other"-- entirely different from anything we experience in ordinary life. It evokes a reaction of silence. But the numinous is also a mysterium tremendum. It provokes terror because it presents itself as overwhelming power. Finally, the numinous presents itself as fascinans, as merciful and gracious. Outline of Otto's concept of the numinous (based on The Idea of the Holy. Trans. John W. Harvey. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1923; 2nd ed., 1950 [Das Heilige, 1917]): "Mysterium tremendum et fascinans" (fearful and fascinating mystery): "Mysterium": Wholly Other, experienced with blank wonder, stupor "tremendum": awefulness, terror, demonic dread, awe, absolute unapproachability, "wrath" of God overpoweringness, majesty, might, sense of one's own nothingness in contrast to its power creature-feeling, sense of objective presence, dependence energy, urgency, will, vitality "fascinans": potent charm, attractiveness in spite of fear, terror, etc. -

Sometimes in order to survive we end up prostituting our Power, and the survival strategy end up going backwards.

What is delivish in th link I posted? Answer with points and context. To call something 100% is a very bias position that ignores sublety, complexity and paradox. Your words speak more about your than the article i shared. -

I cant give so much spoils on the video, but I can say that a woman like this would put many members of this forum on track or would just put them out of her train ( You undertant this if you watch the lecuture) . What I take from this video is the powerfull style of communication this woman have.

A Q&A by the Brother of Gabor Mate with two Israeli guys who have the courage to speak againt their own Contry. Very Interesting to see the dialoge. There is a point one of them say: If my physical life is in risk I leae Israel, obvious, but see that in the end of the day we are all materialists, physicalists. Lets adimit, even Leo, we just want to live one more day. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2c0MQJRKoM/?igsh=MTU3aWh3cnhxeGZlMQ== -

Second to this list https://www.dni.gov/nctc/groups.html There are many Terrorist Organizations around the world. HAMAS Included. I will use one example of a small terrorist organization to set my point. The Comando Vermelho in Brasil, a criminal militia that trives in drugs and much more. So, how logical would be entering the favela and killing the people living there just because the Terrorists live there? Noy every one in the favela agree with Comando Vermelho. For sure the villagers need to keep themselfs quiet about the terrorist activites around them since their ass are on the line. But is senseless to destroy the whole favela, kids, girls...with the justifocation that is being for the good of all. So, what point ISRAEL have in destroying innocents using HaMas as a scapegoat? -
The Voynich Manuscrit. I take this as a freak of Nature because why someone would write a book in crazy language for nobody to read it? a fake book to create Hype or maybe the writer was channeling some unknown language?

If you want to study the relation of sounds and color you would love to study ayahuasca. Of course Ayahussca is more than just colors and sounds but maybe a personal study alone drinking moderate doses one can get a guitar or piano and see what colors show up with certain notes. I am still learning , but i am ready noticing that the plant have some preference for some specific souds: Maraca or Shaker for example or the sound of leafs shaking activate the medicine , maybe because since is a plant is used to the sound of leafs in the forests when is windy, not that the plant have ears but is used to this kind of vibration.

Thank you @Davino this also led me to reflect into a phenomena happening in spiritual circles called Cultural Appropriation where people in the cities go to jungle and bring their "downloads" and start playing Shamans forgeting that they are playing with serious things and in majority not even giving credit to the traditions they went to learn their special magic. Is very sad what is going on in Tulum, Costa Rica, Ubub, and in many areas where Spirituality is basicaly monetary games.
