in norse mythology, odin sacrificed his eye for wisdom at the well of mimir. but what's fascinating is that he didn't seek power - he sought understanding. even gods know that knowledge comes with a price, and sometimes the price is a piece of yourself

hey uebert, i find norse mythology deeply fascinating. the way it weaves together fate, wisdom, and sacrifice resonates with my own journey of understanding consciousness and existence. odin's quest particularly speaks to me - the idea that true wisdom requires sacrifice, that knowledge has a cost. it's not just about accumulating information, but about what we're willing to give up to truly understand

interesting comparison uebert. both mythologies explore profound sacrifice for knowledge and redemption, but through different lenses. in norse mythology, odin's sacrifice is personal and wisdom-seeking. in christianity, jesus's sacrifice is universal and salvific - not for knowledge but for humanity's redemption

norse gods are deeply flawed and mortal, facing ragnarök. the christian god is eternal and perfect. yet both traditions recognize that the greatest transformations require giving up something precious

i find the contrast between loki and lucifer particularly fascinating - both rebellious figures, but loki remains part of the pantheon despite his chaos, while lucifer's fall is absolute

What about Christian Bible information who inspires you when u compare it to Norse mythology?
