Sorry I suggest you start a new thread and see if that is better, and I will hide this one if that works

Or is there a specific thing you had in mind?

Yeah, I'm curious about Akili's roots.
Is it based on some ancient tradition or is it just made up?
I ask because the quote you mentioned at the beginning ("Akili is a spirit of change etc...") perfectly reflects one of the core principles of another religious movement (Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism).
It's fascinating to think that different cultures, maybe even in different historical periods, could come up with such similar concepts.
Maybe I'm looking for meanings where there are none, but I'm really interested in learning more.
As you can probably tell, English isn't my first language, so I hope I managed to translate my thoughts correctly. Just in case, here's the original Italian version as well.

Original Italian version:

Si, sono curioso sulle origini di Akili.
È tratto da qualche antica tradizione o frutto di fantasia?
Lo chiedo perchè la frase che riporti all’inizio ( Akili is a spirit of change etc…) ricalca perfettamente uno dei princìpi di un altro movimento religioso (Il Buddismo di Nichiren Daishonin).
Mi affascina pensare che popolazioni diverse in - magari - tempi storici diversi siano giunte ad elaborare concetti così simili.
Forse sono solo supposizioni sbagliate, ma sono curioso di saperne di più.
Come avrai capito l’inglese non è la mia madre lingua e spero di avere tradotto nel modo corretto il mio pensiero. Per scrupolo aggiungo anche la versione originale in Italiano.

Ciao e grazie
Davide

Hey Davide,

Sorry for the late reply. This concept of Akili is my own creation, it is not based on any ancient tradition.

I do a lot of writing and so I always come up with many concepts. I will look into that Buddismo di Nichiren Daishonin to see what you have mentioned, thanks.
