Odinic Awareness

[Liffrea]

I have been asked to ask this in a different forum. I guess it goes here.

Whilst on the OR web-site I came across "Odinic Awareness". Now I have difficulty with this concept. I believe that on death, you are reborn in what is essentially a never ending cycle as long as our race continues to exist. I don't quite believe in an interrim place such as Hel, I say quite because I am not sure.

Odinic Awareness to me though sounds a bit like Buddhist Nirvana. I have trouble with the concept of "enlightenement" and thus being freed from a cycle of rebirth. Is this what Odinic Awareness is? If this is so, what then is this "enlightenement"?

The soul is involved in a struggle that extends to man's innermost being. It proceeds from the gods but the body be longs to the world of giants and they struggle for supremacy. If the soul conquers by virtue and courage then it goes after his death to Valhalla, to fight in concert with the Gods against the evil powers. If on the other hand the body conquers and links the spirit to itself by weakness then after man's death the human-soul sinks to the world of the giants and joins itself with the evil powers in their warfare against the Gods.

I hope this helps

Im not sure where it is on the site, but by that name it seems that its talking about making people aware about odinism?

No its something similar to Nirvana. Its stumped me. I have never heard of it before.
