Beelzebub

Beelzebub in the Gospels
Ba'al-zebub, also called Beelzebub or Beelzebul is known as the 'prince of demons' in the Synoptic Gospels during the accusations of the Pharisees against Jesus.

Beelzebub and the Philistines
The name Ba'al-zebub is associated with the Philistine city of Ekron. In 2 Kings, after Moab rebelled against Israel, Ahaziah had fallen and injured himself. To find out if he'd recover from the injury he sent out messengers, telling them:

"Go and inquire of Baalzebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this injury." - 2 Kings 1:2

The Lord, however sent Elijah to intercept the messengers on their way to Ekron, asking them if they seek Baalzebub's advice because there is no God of Israel and instructing them to return home and inform their master that he shall not recover.

Beelzebub as Lord of the Flies
Ba'alzebub's name derives from the Canaanite "Baal" meaning "lord," and he is known as the "lord of the flies"


Beelzebub in the Testament of Solomon
In the Testament of Solomon (1st-3rd centuries CE), Solomon learns that Beelzeboul is one of the fallen angels who destroys by means of tyrants, causes demons to be worshipped, arouses desires in priests, brings about jealousies and murders, and instigates wars. The other demon he refers to as being imprisoned in the Red Sea is the one-winged demon, Abezethibou, Moses' adversary in Egypt.

Beelzebub in the Gospel of Nicodemus
According to the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus (5th century CE), after Christ's crucifixion, Satan/Beelzebub is depicted conversing with Hell about how he would now bring Christ down to Hades. While conversing, Christ frees Adam and those residing in Hades and then ascended with them into paradise.

Bismillah

The Arabic phrase Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim is a beautifully poetic expression which offers both insight and inspiration. It has often been said that the phrase Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim contains the true essence of the entire Qur'an, as well as the true essence of all religions.

Muslims often say the phrase when embarking on any significant endeavor, and the phrase is considered by some to be a major pillar of Islam. This expression is so magnificent and so concise that all but one chapter of the Qur'an begins with the words Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim.

The common translation as:

"In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate".

fails to capture either the true depth of meaning or the inspirational message of this beautiful phrase.

It's All About You

It's beyond my principles.... But hell... What the heck.
I felt good!
Hope you really like it!

It's All About You! by McFly



It's all about you (it's about you)
It's all about you baby (it's all about)
It's all about you (it's about you)
It's all about you

Verse 1:
Yesterday you asked me something I thought you knew
So I answer you with a smile, it's all about you
Then you whispered in my ear and you told me too
Said you'd make my life worthwhile, it's all about you

Chorus:
And I would answer all your wishes
If you ask me to
But if you deny me one of your kisses
Don't know what I'd do
So hold me close and say three words like you used to do
Dancing on the kitchen tiles, it's all about you, yeah!

(Guitar solo)

Chorus 2:
And I would answer all your wishes
If you ask me to
But if you deny me one of your kisses
Don't know what I'd do
So hold me close and say three words like you used to do
Dancing on the kitchen tiles
Yes you make my life worthwhile
So I told you with a smile
It's all about you

It's all about you (it's about you)
It's all about you baby (it's all about)
It's all about you (it's about you)
It's all about you baby (it's all about)

Reason

I will let you in. I want to.
Give me time.
and Patience.


Budak Pantai once again.

Creativity

Amelie is the epitome of creativity. ~ Ely
God is the epitome of creativity. ~ my head
There is no such thing as creativity. ~ my head
God cannot exist - Huh?

Who created Amelie/ Who created God?/ Who created creativity?
What is creativity?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity

It's a Bohemian Rhapsody of sorts.
Does this make sense?

Can you CREATE meaning?
Can you construct meaning from all of these?

Constructivists rule the education scene.
FPS, creative thinking, PBL, Inquiry based learning, Project work, Student centered learning,new scientific epistemology.

Wait a minute, what happened to critical thinking? Haven't had a workshop on this.

Workshop can teach us everything!

Even creativity can be taught!

Is there a hint of sarcasm in my words? Or do I really believe it?

Bohemian Rhapsody

There is no such thing as creativity.
Discuss.

"The really good thing about beautiful songs or wonderful works of art, is that they all ask us questions.
Questions about our lives
Questions that illuminate different aspects of the human condition."

The original that kills me each time:



and of course a cover by the ten-tenors where i got the quote from. (they still seem 'gay' to me)



Words and music by freddie mercury

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

My Blog

Why do I blog the way I blog?
- Because nothing is truly new. (Thats what I think for now)
- Many have put it forth so beautifully. Far much better than I can.
- I lack the coherence and strength.
- style
- I won't reveal myself to anyone.
- I'm just too lazy, can't even bother to think of the endless possibilities that I always create in my head.


Does it matter what goes on inside of me?
Me, Myself,I.

Is it important to know what goes on inside of me?
Me, Myself, I.

For something to be important and to matter, it requires a perceiver who judges, compares and relates to him/herself.

There can only be me, myself, I, for without me, myself, I, nothing really matters to me.

Does this make sense at all?

?!?!?!?!?!

Doesn't matter.
As long as I function for the people and situations around me.

Till we have freedom.
In fact, we already have.
So why not now but later?

Stones Taught me to Fly

It's been a long week.
Things must change.

"it's not hard to fall and I don't want to lose
it's not hard to grow when you know that you just..don't know"


Cannonball by Damien Rice



there's still a little bit of your taste
in my mouth
there's still a litle bit of you laced
with my doubt
it's still a little hard to say
..what's going on

there's still a little bit of your ghost
your weakness
there's still a little bit of your face
I haven't kissed
you step a little closer each day
and I can't say what's going on

(Chorus)
stones taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life, it taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball

there's still a little bit of your song
in my ear
there's still a little bit of your words
I long to hear
you step a little closer to me
so close that I cant see what's going on..

and stones, taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so its not hard to fall
when you float like a cannon..

stones taught me to fly
love; it taught me to cry
so come on courage
teach me to be shy
cause it's not hard to fall
and i dont want to scare her
it's not hard to fall
and I dont want to lose
it's not hard to grow
when you know that you just..dont know

It's just the Weight of the World.

No matter what happens.
Don't Give Up.
You are Loved.
By Me.


You are Loved (Don't Give Up) by Josh Groban



Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I will lift it for you

Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I will break it for you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you

Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up

Because you are loved

Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside I
I'll be there to find you

Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you
I will shine to guide you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you

Everybody needs to be loved
Don't give up

Because...you are loved

All The Worlds a Stage

The eyes of an actor.
And the eyes of the audience.

To feel an emotion so powerful and intense, beyond the senses and experience that you weep.
Or.
To relate to the powerful and intense emotion that focuses your senses and experience to your weepings.


Do you have passions? Or are you. Passonate.

Semantics?
