Instructions of Shuruppak

Ubara-Tutu is recorded in most copies of the  Sumerian King List  as being the final king of Sumer prior to the  deluge . Ubara-tutu is briefly mentioned in  tablet XI  of the  Epic of Gilgamesh , where he is identified as the father of  Utnapishtim , a character who is instructed by the god  Ea  to build a boat in order to survive the coming flood.     Utnapishtim  ( Akkadian :  𒌓𒍣 , "he has found life") was a legendary king of the ancient city of  Shuruppak  in southern Iraq, who, according to the  Gilgamesh flood myth , one of several similar narratives, survived  the Flood  by making and occupying a boat.  He is called by different names in different traditions:  Ziusudra  ("Life of long days", rendered Xisuthros, Ξίσουθρος in  Berossus ) in the earliest, Sumerian versions, later Shuruppak (after his city),  Atra-hasis  ("exceeding wise") in the earliest  Ak...

Meditation on Numbers

  ONE In  Hermetic  philosophy, the number 1 represents the Monad, the primordial unity from which all creation springs. It symbolizes the Absolute, the unmanifest Source, the Divine Oneness that precedes all differentiation. The Monad is seen as the origin of all numbers and the foundation of the cosmos. In  Jewish Kabbalah , the number 1 is associated with the concept of Ein Sof, the unknowable, infinite, and absolute Divine essence.

Giordano Bruno | l'infinito universo

He made significant contributions to various fields, including cosmology, philosophy, and the art of memory. Bruno's works challenged established religious and philosophical doctrines of his time and had a profound impact on the development of modern thought. "On the Infinite Universe and Worlds"  (De l'infinito universo et mondi): In this work, published in 1584, Bruno argues for the existence of an infinite universe with an infinite number of inhabited worlds.

Bruno's ideas anticipated the concept of an infinite and diverse cosmos, which was revolutionary for the time. "The Ash Wednesday Supper"  (La cena de le ceneri): Published in 1584,...
