Creation of Light ( אוֹר ) By Gustave Doré Genesis, Chapter 8 | Sunday – August 16, 2026 I am still in Türkiye while writing parts of this post, and if you are more interested in my journey in Türkiye, click this link . Because I am still stuck at my hotel awaiting my transfer to the airport and because I am bored, I have reached the conclusion that I may as well start writing this post. Now, this will be my 8th part of this series , which means that there are 7 previous parts that you should be reading before you read this part. I will list them and link to them in chronological order: part 1 , part 2 , part 3 , part 4 , part 5 , part 6 , and part 7 . If you decide to not read the previous parts of this series, then you should know that you run the risk of some confusion, as each part in this series constitutes a link in a great chain, a great Biblical chain, and without having read each part you are missing out and you may end up becoming confused and even lead astray by your own c...

Creation of Light ( אוֹר ) By Gustave Doré Genesis, Chapter 6 | Sunday – July 25, 2026 B ecause of my continued but minor medical issue , I am still under the influence, and because of this I am not yet able to take up my writing in the same way as I wrote before. This means that I will not be able to keep up with the phase of this " Bible Study series ", and that I will likely commit some mistakes and cut this post shorter than usual; of course, this all depends and it is currently too early for me to tell. At any rate, I have already decided that most of these posts are too long anyways and that it is time for me to cut them down, as a large portion of them are spent repeating the same information. This is why I have decided to create a separate page that I will link to in future posts, explaining the rules that I will apply in this Bible series , because it is getting old having to repeat myself over and over again. And yes, do excuse my candor here, but I am in a little b...

Creation of Light ( אוֹר ) By Gustave Doré Genesis, Chapter 7 | Sunday – August 2, 2026 D reamers are the men who made great leaps in history  and were remembered for their leaps, and so was the case for men such as Abraham ( אַבְרָהָם ) and Moses ( מֹשֶׁה ), in the Old Testament, the Tanakh ( תָּנָ״ךְ ), whom I will cover later in this " Bible Study series ", read " Dreaming ". Of course, then there are those men who are forgotten, but we are still aware of their leaps, and their fate is truly that of the abyss, at least if we only concern ourselves with the narrow purview of modern men, that of assuming that all significance should be defined by the individual, read " My Views on 'Genius' ". I suppose the difference between a legend and the man on the bottom of the abyss is memory? And in that case, it should be fitting to study the Bible, which of course is the intention of this series. Now, this will be the 7th part of this series, but before ...

Creation of Light ( אוֹר ) By Gustave Doré Genesis, Chapter 2 | Sunday – June 28, 2026 I n the previous part of this series I covered Genesis chapter 1 , and in this part I intend to cover chapter 2 consisting of 25 verses. Again, I must reiterate from the previous post that I am relying on a certain Biblical source, namely the Catholic New Revised Standard ( NRSV-CE ), and while any Bible should be adequate for this study there are certain and often subtle differences and nuances to be taken into account whenever a study of this kind is considered, and if you are indeed relying on another published form of the Bible then you are responsible for keeping track of each verse of each chapter and the possibility that your particular Bible may not align in every word with the words of every verse mentioned and/or quoted in this study. I should also point out that I may or may not quote certain verses from the Bible, in this case Genesis Chapter 2, depending on the situation, as for th...

Melencolia I By Albrecht Dürer Despair | Saturday – August 1, 2026 F or me, despair is really a process of change, and currently I am in that process. Now, I cannot speak for despair itself and I cannot predict its next victim. I do however know that the world used to be a better place, read " Is the Future the Enemy? "; in fact, it would be impossible for it to be any other way. Ask yourself this: are you getting any younger and healthier ? No, and you will not get any younger and any heather either. Your condition is a lost cause, and in the end you will rot and you will die , and whatever sign of you still left in the afterlife will soon be gone. This is the way of life and this is the way of nature, truly cyclical. The only hope you have for resurrection in this life is by your bloodline, read " Should You Create a Family? ", unless of course you seek higher knowledge . But since you are unlikely to seek, let alone receive higher knowledge, you are stuck in you...
