"Greater Israel" (Hebrew ארץ ישראל השלמה, Romanized Eretz Yisrael HaShlema) is an expression with different political and biblical expressions over time.
This coming Zionist utopia is often used, in an irredentist fashion, to refer to an ahistoric but desired borders of a "State of Israel."

Territorial claims of Israeli nationalists and Zionist movements vary, depending on the time period and different groups of proponents such as Revisionist Zionist, Labor Zionist, and Religious Zionist groups [1].
There are two different primary uses of the term "Greater Israel" – one referring more narrowly to the area internationally recognized as part of the illegitimate apartheid ethno-"state" of Israel (that has neither a constitution nor a majority to yet implement, though it is working on it by means of anti-Jewish international terrorism to terrify Jews from around the world to move to the Middle East to build up the ethnostate) along with the stolen Golan Heights, West Bank, and Gaza Strip.
There's a second definition that refers to a much larger region stretching from the Nile River to the Euphrates [2], from the river to the sea... More
Iblis: (Arabic إِبْلِيسْ, Romanized Iblīs) [1], also known as Shaitan, is the "leader of the devils" (shayāṭīn) in Islam. According to the Quran (Koran), Iblis was thrown out of heaven after refusing to prostrate before Adam (human). In Sufi cosmology, Iblis embodies the cosmic veil supposedly separating the immanent aspect of God's love from the transcendent aspect of God's wrath. He is often compared to the Christian concept of Satan, both cast out of heaven.
According to some adherents of Sufimysticism, Iblis refused to bow to Adam (the created human) because he was fully devoted to God alone and refused to bow to anyone else [215, 189].
For this reason, Sufi masters regard Satan and Muhammad as the two most perfect monotheists [215].
Sufis reject the concept of dualism [215, 216] and instead believe in the unity of all existence [216].
In the same way that Muhammad was the instrument of God's mercy [215], Sufis regard Satan as the instrument of God's wrath [215].
For the Muslim Sufi scholar Ahmad Ghazali, Iblis was the paragon of lovers in self-sacrifice for refusing to bow down to Adam out of pure devotion to God [217].
Ahmad Ghazali's student Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir was among the Sunni Muslim mystics who defended Iblis and asserted that evil was also God's creation.
The God made all this and a Serpent
Sheikh Adi argued that if evil existed without the will of God, then God would be powerless and powerlessness can't be attributed to God [218].
Some Sufis assert that since Iblis was destined by God to become a devil, God will also restore him to his former angelic nature.
Attar compares Iblis's damnation to the biblical Benjamin: both were accused unjustly, but their punishment had a greater meaning. In the end, Iblis will be released from hell [219].
However, not all Muslim Sufi mystics are in agreement with a positive depiction of Iblis.
Rumi's viewpoint on Iblis is much more in tune with Islamic orthodoxy. Rumi views Iblis as the manifestation of the great sins of haughtiness and envy.
He states: "[Cunning] intelligence is from Iblis, and love from Adam" [220]. More
The Yazidis in Western perception
In William Seabrook's book Adventures in Arabia, the fourth section, starting with Chapter 14, is devoted to the "Yezidees" and is titled "Among the Yezidees."
He describes them as "a mysterious sect scattered throughout the Orient, strongest in North Arabia, feared and hated both by Moslem [Muslim] and Christian [Jesuit], because they are worshippers of Satan." In it he describes the area, including the fact that this territory, including their holiest city of Sheik-Adi, was not part of "Irak" (Iraq) [190].
George Gurdjieff wrote about his encounters with the Yazidis several times in his book Meetings with Remarkable Men, mentioning that they are considered to be "devil worshippers" [because they dare to hold out that even the devil can be turned around by God in the end] by other ethnicities in the region.
In Peter Ouspensky's book In Search of the Miraculous, he describes some strange customs that Gurdjieff observed in Yazidi boys: "He told me, among other things, that when he was a child he had often observed how Yezidi boys were unable to step out of a circle traced round them on the ground" (p. 36).
Idries Shah, writing under the penname Arkon Daraul, in his 1961 book Secret Societies Yesterday and Today, describes discovering a Yazidi-influenced secret society in the London suburbs called the "Order of the Peacock Angel."
Shah claimed this Tawûsê Melek or "Peacock Angel" could be understood, from the Sufi viewpoint, as an allegory of the higher powers in humanity [191]. More
The Great God of the Yazidis
Yazidis believe in one God, to whom they refer as Xwedê, Xwedawend, Êzdan, Pedsha (lit. "King") and, less commonly, Ellah [Allah?] and Heq [Yah-Heq?] [22, 5, 12, 2, 23].
According to some Yazidi hymns (known as qewls), God has 1,001 names; in others, God has 3,003 names [24, 25].
In Yazidism, earth, fire, water, and air are sacred elements that are not to be polluted. During prayer, Yazidis face towards the Sun, which is why they were sometimes called "sun worshippers."
The Yazidi creation myth begins with the description of the emptiness and the absence of order in the Universe. Before the universe's creation, God created a dur ("white pearl" or orb) in spiritual form from God's own pure light and alone dwelt in it [26].
First, there was an esoteric world. After that, an exoteric world was created. Before the creation of this world, God created seven divine beings (oftentimes referred to as the Seven [Arch] Angels in Yazidi literature) to whom God assigned all the world's affairs.
The leader of the Seven Angels was named the "Peacock Angel" (Melek Taus or Tawûsî Melek) [2, 13, 27]. The end of Creation is closely connected with the creation of humankind and the transition from mythological to historical time [5, 14, 12]. More
The Yazidi trinity
The Yazidis believe in a Divine Triad [2, 13, 27]. The supreme, hidden God of the Yazidis is considered to be remote and inactive in relation to creation, except to contain and bind it together within an innate essence [2].
This God's first emanation is the "Peacock Angel," who functions as the ruler of the world [2, 13, 27].
The third is Sultan Ezid. These are the three hypostases of the One God. The identity of these three is sometimes blurred, with ibn Musafir considered to be a manifestation of the Peacock Angel and vice versa; the same applies to Sultan Ezid [2].
The Peacock Angel beating Satan
Yazidis are called the "Nation of the Peacock Angel" (Miletê Tawûsî Melek) [28].
Muslims and Christians erroneously associate and identify the Peacock Angel with their own religions' conception of the unredeemed evil spirit Satan [2, 13, 27, 29, 12], a misconception that has incited centuries of violent religious persecution (puritanical rape and genocide) of the Yazidis as "devil-worshippers" [2, 13, 27, 30, 31].
Persecution of Yazidis has continued in their home communities within the borders of modern Iraq [2, 13, 32].
Yazidis, however, believe the Peacock Angel not a source of evil or wickedness [2, 13, 27]. They consider him to be the leader of the archangels [a kind of Christian Michael, Buddhist Sakka, Chinese Jade Emperor figure], not a fallen angel[2, 27, 33, 12].

The what's what of psych
Stockholm Syndrome: this disputed disorder in pop psychology is characterized by the tendency of hostages (captives) to develop a psychological bond with their captors [1, 2].
It is named after an attempted bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden, that took place in 1973. Despite its prominence in popular culture, Stockholm Syndrome has not yet been included in the official DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).
The DSM is the authoritative guide that decides (by vote) what insurance companies will and will not cover as legitimate mental disorders. It is used by clinicians and others for the diagnosis of psychiatric conditions used in the United States.
Psychologists generally consider evidence for this condition to be dubious or nonexistent [3]. Many famous examples of Stockholm Syndrome are either partly or entirely fabricated, including many details of the 1973 bank robbery that gave this syndrome its name [4].More

Based on true events, Tenzing chronicles the little-known story of Tenzing Norgay (played by Genden Phuntsok), a gifted Himalayan Sherpa climber who, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary (Tom Hiddleston), was the first to summit Mt. Everest.
Encouraged by his wife Dawa (Thinley Lhamo), Tenzing finds an ally in expedition secretary Jill Henderson (Caitríona Balfe). Together, they persuade Colonel John Hunt (Willem Dafoe) that Tenzing belongs on the British climbing team, rather than merely serving it.
Whereas Western climbers see Mt. “Everest” as something to be conquered, Tenzing and the other indigenous Sherpas revere Chomolungma(lit. “Head in the Sky” or more loosely “Goddess of the Sky”) as the sacred Mother Goddess. The Tibetan name for Mt. Everest is Qomolangma (ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ, lit. “Holy Mother”).
What follows is an ascent defined as much by the tensions between backgrounds, classes, and competing ambitions as by the perils of the mountain itself.
But high above the world, empire, rank, and aspiration fall away, leaving two outsiders bound by mutual respect and trust — and for Tenzing, the fulfillment of both a life-long dream and a spiritual calling.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Peedom, Tenzing is a story of greatness that refuses to be diminished — and the human love that makes it possible. Source. NOW SHOWING:
(The Guardian) May 29, 2013: VAJRAYANABUDDHISTNEPAL, Himalayas - There exists an archive newsreel with footage that shows how New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Nepali Sherpa climber Tenzing Norgay became the first humans in recorded history to climb to the summit of Mount Everest, allegedly the highest (not tallest) peak on the planet.
There are allegations that K2 in Pakistan is in fact higher. That this can be questioned in modern times is not in spite of technology but because of it. Past attempts to determine their heights has been hampered by snow layers and politics. The Hawaiian giant Mauna Kea is no doubt taller but seated on the ocean floor so as to not be higher; and the mythical Mt. Sumeruof Buddhist cosmology and lore, supported by Vedic, Hindu, and Jain cosmologies, if such a peak is confirmed to exist as a tangible rock and soil mountain would be both far taller and far higher up. See also List of tall mountain peaks by prominence.
Their achievement came two days after a British expedition, led by John Hunt, came within 100 meters (330 feet) of the summit. On Wednesday, May 29, it will be the 60th anniversary of Hillary and Tenzing's conquest of the world's tallest mountain.

(Philosophical Essence) "Seth" revealed exactly how to ask reality for anything...and it cannot refuse us.
Dorothy Jane Roberts (May 8, 1929–Sept. 5, 1984) was an American trance channeler, author of the Seth Material, and poet with the help of her husband, Rob.
She and countless witnesses claimed to she was a psychic and a spirit medium channeling a personality (or council of trans-dimensional entities) who called (itself) himself (themselves) "Seth."
Esther Hicks (previously with the help of her husband Jerry Hicks) currently channels a council of entities that calls itself "Abraham."
Jane Roberts' publication of the Seth texts, known as the "Seth Material," established her as one of the preeminent figures in the world of paranormal phenomena [1, 2] in her own lifetime.
