Yeah, it is like how krishna acts as a prophet for shiva and devi, establishing the worship of both, but he himself too is the complete brahman. Similarly, shiva acts as a prophet for krishna, establishing worship of his infant form.

I hate having to ask for help, but I got robbed the other day and I’m really struggling to get through till next paycheck. If anyone is able to help, I’d be grateful. I’m sorry to have to ask, and I appreciate anyone who can help or even just share.

Yep at least two authors. Gen 1 and Gen 2 are different authors, and later chapters include a blend of multiple authors. For example the Noah story has two versions interspersed side by side, episode by episode, in a more drawn out integration of the two sources

I got all this from books like:
Scribal Culture and the Making of the Hebrew Bible by Karel van Der Toorn
I can't recall the second one, but it basically covers the same topic.

In the time the traditions contained in Genesis was written, the idea of authorship was also not thought of as an individual thing, but a status held by a community.
So it's more accurate to say the author(s) of Genesis were the communities that formed it's traditions.

I'm still taking in yesterday. Friends, mutuals and complete strangers amplified my story. I don't take it for granted. Because of you, we're at $3,900+. The road ahead is still long, with $25K due Dec 14 and every share gets me closer

Hi everyone, I’m Marvellous, some of you know me as Ini. I’m a few months from finishing my MPH at NYU. I planned for this year with a student loan and a summer internship but it didn’t come through. Then this month, MPOWER shut down. I was on their waitlist.

Of all the things that irritate me about Man United, what really grates is the stupidity and arrogance of Ineos to not even understand or appreciate what Carrick did for them last season. It is the only time the club has enjoyed peace and quiet in 4/5 years and a lot of that was down to Carrick's measured temperament and complete lack of ego in coming into the club, setting aside his own ideas and just doing the basics that needed doing. It is the only time the Ineos losers and syciphants have had the confidence to show their faces in public (wilcox did podcasts!)
But he's an inexperienced guy and needed a solid support system. No addition to his backroom staff and transfers purely to save money. A stupid lackadaisical preseason in Dublin. And now we are back here again.
I despise these people.

Neoplatonic Virtue: Does Foreknowledge Destroy Freedom?
If the gods know what we will do, must we do it? Proclus ends On Providence with Iamblichus' answer: knowledge follows the nature of the knower, not the known. The gods know our open future without closing it.

Her, I likened my depression to a burglar and talk a bit about being a depressed extroverted girl.

I need $50,000 to finish my degree, including $25,000 by December 14 to stay enrolled. Else, I could lose my student status. With the current bisa ban on Nigerians, I wouldn’t be able to come back, and everything I’ve worked toward would fall apart.

Venus returns to Libra today. Huzzah! Great rejoicing! From exile in Scorpio back to her own home.
Every homecoming echoes Odysseus's. For Homer's Neoplatonist readers, the return to Ithaca is the rational soul's path back to reality.

Venus cazimi today: retrograde Venus, in Scorpio, in the heart of the Sun.
A day to think about the ambivalence of beauty. For Proclus, perceptible beauty is double: the beauty of the cosmos lifts us toward the eternal; the beauty of Helen binds us to the here and now.
ALT Quote card in blue and gold: 'Why have the gods so engineered the world… Why must beauty be dangerous?' — Antonio Vargas, The Beautiful World and the Beautiful Helen.
