Recently I have been enamored with the origins of the Æsir Gods of the Germanic Folk. More specifically Búri; the progenitor of, and the first of the Æsir.
Notably, throughout the rest of our sacred legends, there are very few instances of Búri mentioned. A sacred mystery no doubt. But there are instances of the Æsir building altars, shrines and holy places, "On the Itha-field met the mighty gods; shrines and temples they timbered high, forges they formed to fashion gold, tongs they did shape and tools they made;" Voluspa stanza 7.
Is it possible that the Æsir worship Búri their primordial progenitor, and that this same worship which the Æsir pioneered was handed to us? This, if held to be true, is internally consistent instead of relying on foreign new axial-age ideas about emanations from a spiritual black hole (singularity) aka a monad.

Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. "Like the bombing of the maternity ward in Mariupol," he said, "Even before it hits the news, you see the videos on the Telegram channels." In December 2021, Sebi officials had conducted a search and seizure operation at the premises of certain persons carrying out similar manipulative activities through Telegram channels. To that end, when files are actively downloading, a new icon now appears in the Search bar that users can tap to view and manage downloads, pause and resume all downloads or just individual items, and select one to increase its priority or view it in a chat. One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals.
