Journal Sedim Haba's Journal

[Sedim Haba]

Nothing really to post here yet, but I guess one thing I can explain is my name.
It's now my 3rd middle name, hope it's my last.
It's based on Hebrew. Sedim is a variation of Shedim, which is the plural of Shedu.
A Shedu is a 'borrow word' from the Assyrians because Hebrew has no word for 'spirit'
It has no word, because it's Taboo. For the Israelite, only G-d, Angels, and Man exists, all else is forbidden to study.
My name is a poke @ fellow Torah scholars, it means 'Spirits Exist'.

(other forbidden topics, like Astrology, are also banned in this way. Anything not the sun or moon is a star. Even planets.)

Only 5 minutes to edit? Gotta remember that.

Probably should mention this... I'm also neurodivergent. My AQ (Autism Quotient) score is 41 out of 50. Normies are below 26. Your average Autistic is 32. 41 is ... severe. Ya.

Oh, and Replies are welcome in my journal, just keep it on-topic and respectful and I will try to answer.
(IDK if replies are normal on this forum's Journals, some places not unless specified like this)

 

[HoldAll]

The reason for the 5-minute editing period is to prevent member from making polemical or controversial statements, triggering a shitstorm and then retracting or modifying their original opinions by retroactive editing, leaving other members mystified as to what all the fuss was about. In other words, you have to bear the consequences of what you post.

The automerge function is a bitch. I have a Journal here myself, and it annoyed me no end to see my all my spontaneous short posts crammed into huge one. Automerge can be avoided if you wait more than 24 hours until your next entry, so what I do is write down all of my ideas in a text file, wait for a day and then post it more coherently as one big article; if someone replies to one of your posts, you can make th next one right away though. I like it better this way now, it gives me time to think and refine my text stylistically.

There are no rules for Journals as such. I have no moderator powers outside of the forum library but will intervene and reply whenever members will try to hijack a Journal or start a debate here, e.g. when you quote an author, then somebody answers that the author in question was an ignorant fool, whereupon a second one writes, on the contrary, and so on. A Journal should be a personal place where you can express your thoughts without fear of being attacked. Replies can provide valuable input but may also contain criticism – after all, it's a public space.

Makes sense, and yes makes sense to compose in a text file first, I do that a lot for complex topics.
As I said, it's a good thing to keep in mind so one is not trying to fix simple grammar problems in a leisurely manner & create extra confusion.

Automerge, I'm used to that, not so bad really you do get that double-line that differentiates.

See, what is far more annoying is that I could not select & copy the word "differentiates" to post in dictionary to verify that I'm using said word correctly.

A minor inconvenience, but likewise one I will have to keep in mind in the future. (Can select after post to do this, but then the 5 minute clock is ticking)

Sorry for picking the nits, but... Autism.

Love to explore this forum's topics & such, but I only fully channel my Familiar once a week, with Sacred Plant (which deepens connection substantially)

It's how a Shaman operates, I have no PSI or any other such 'magic' powers or abilities, tho I am an Empath. (which is hampered tremendously by Autism)

My sole connection to anything spiritual is by means of my Familiar, of which I will elaborate and explore here in the future.

Ah, I see there is a bit of a 'count-down timer' not dependent on refreshing the page. Helpful. Talk to you all tomorrow.
