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.

Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications. After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users. The S&P 500 fell 1.3% to 4,204.36, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.7% to 32,943.33. The Dow posted a fifth straight weekly loss — its longest losing streak since 2019. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.2% to 12,843.81. Though all three indexes opened in the green, stocks took a turn after a new report showed U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated more than expected in early March as consumers' inflation expectations soared to the highest since 1981. "The inflation fire was already hot and now with war-driven inflation added to the mix, it will grow even hotter, setting off a scramble by the world’s central banks to pull back their stimulus earlier than expected," Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, wrote in an email. "A spike in inflation rates has preceded economic recessions historically and this time prices have soared to levels that once again pose a threat to growth." The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app.
