You can&#x27;t download an entire work, you can only view HTML pages of chapters. You can indeed read the texts online but the site seems designed to prevent downloading an entire text, try Project Gutenberg or the Internet Archive first if you want a local copy.<p>&quot;Q: Why all the short files? I want to download the entire book in one file! A: Sorry. The short files are for technical reasons which greatly reduce the cost of hosting the site. Newer books typically have a one-file text-only version, which is optimized for screen reader software. Look for the links on the index pages that say &#x27;Text&#x27;&quot;<p>There is no text file for the I-Ching on sacred-texts, if you want to download it here&#x27;s the archive.org versions:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;I-Ching" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;I-Ching</a><p>Here&#x27;s the James Legge translation of the Tao Tey King in one text file:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gutenberg.org&#x2F;cache&#x2F;epub&#x2F;216&#x2F;pg216.txt" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gutenberg.org&#x2F;cache&#x2F;epub&#x2F;216&#x2F;pg216.txt</a>

I&#x27;ve been curious lately about the existence of any religion, mythology, folklore, etc that capture something closer to the current edges of modern physics and astrology. Basic assumption is that most&#x2F;all are based on dated observations of seasons, planets, stars, etc -- things that were once mysteries in the mechanical universe.<p>Are there any that touch on quantum weirdness or more recent astrophysics (black holes, gravity waves, FRBs, etc)?<p>Would be interesting to see if new myths are being born. Even more interesting if a really ancient one touch on some of these only recently discovered mysteries.

Kind of related to what I was mentioning on the Godel thread, but IMO the Kundalini (or whatever you call it) experience is the &quot;grand unifying theory&quot; of religion and mythology (although it&#x27;s not actually a theory, but an experience).<p>It provides an explanation for where religions may have come from, beyond our typically pompous attitude that earlier generations of people were superstitious and stupid. Instead, it suggests that the founders of religions experienced dramatic shifts in consciousness which they were trying to explain in the language of the day (and which, since their followers rarely had such experiences themselves, were subsequently misinterpreted).

I was thinking this would be a fun way to get access to more monster stories. I&#x27;m bored of the usual ones.<p>I started digging into the Shinto text, the Kojiki. This is my favorite story so far:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.sacred-texts.com&#x2F;shi&#x2F;kj&#x2F;kj153.htm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.sacred-texts.com&#x2F;shi&#x2F;kj&#x2F;kj153.htm</a><p>As far as I can tell, it looks like a young prince was mad his uncle didn&#x27;t get mad that the uncle&#x27;s brother was killed. So the prince killed the uncle in a fit of rage. Then, another brother was similarly unconcerned, so the prince buried him up to his shins which caused eyes to pop out and then die.<p>No monsters so far. But, about as ludicrous and disjointed as most writing from a thousand years ago. It takes a special person to twist that into a religion.

Love this site. I’ve been reading it periodically since high school. Glad it’s still around.

Nice collection that is. I always find old tales and stories from the past very entertaining. Their knowledge about neutrinos was not very advanced, but still...<p>Nostradamus: &quot;When the animal domesticated by man<p>After great pains and leaps will come to speak&quot;

Wonder how hard would it be to convert all the public domain texts to Standard Ebooks. I know there’s already ebooks of most of these texts, but having them all together in a standard form would be nice.

What ought an archive of sacred Internet texts contain, beyond IETF RFCs?

&gt; The Gospel of Thomas Reputedly the writings of the apostle ‘Doubting Thomas’. This text purports to be a collection of the sayings of Jesus. Traditionally Thomas was Jesus’ twin brother. This text shows strong Gnostic influence.<p>I&#x27;ll admit I&#x27;m not deeply familiar with most religious traditions, but I am absolutely sure none of the major ones have any &quot;tradition&quot; in which Jesus had a twin brother. Yes, &quot;Thomas&quot; means &quot;the twin,&quot; but not because people believed he was actually Jesus&#x27; twin brother.<p>It&#x27;s hard for me to take any of the summaries seriously after that, and it&#x27;s <i>almost</i> enough to make me wonder whether the collection would actually include accurate copies of the documents it claims to.

Wonder what would happen if someone trained an LLM on these texts? A whole new mega religion?
