I got to wrap up a lot of things. My job resumes next Monday. So I need to get back on work. I won't be much on the forum anymore. Just my journals and focus on my growth.

Maybe it's false advertisement Some people on YouTube use bots to generate views. It's all exaggerated to create sales. With technology you can make anything look big. Who knows if in reality people buy his stuff. I don't think so.. He must be a clever person trying to create false popularity And given his past record, it won't be hard to imagine him using tricks to sell his record. Such people don't go far in the long run. Don't pay attention to that guy. I am sure he got a bunch of tricks up his sleeve.. I've never heard of him before. Came to know with this thread.

I will use this journal to explore Islam faith and culture.

People from Africa have also admired India and Indian people. There is something about Indian culture that's relatable to all. But it's mostly the Western countries of Africa and Europe that have given their maximum attention to India because of the geographical proximity.

However despite numerous invasions and colonization attempts by Western countries, India remained true to its foundational culture of Hinduism and continued to maintain its identity as a predominantly Hindu country. This does not mean that others didn't find a place. Sure they did. Most people of other traditions especially western both Christian and Muslim would love to be in India and go nowhere. Because India gives everyone a place within its own. Hinduism fundamentally believes that all are equal and to be loved equally. There is something about India that the West finds particularly irresistible.

People in India are very diverse.. I myself have Portuguese and Spanish ancestry. A lot of folks in my school also had Portuguese and French ancestry. A lot of people in India have Persian and Arabic ancestry. Up in the north people have Afghan ancestry. A lot of people in the middle have German and East European ancestry. India is very diverse as it is made up of many cultures that got assimilated into the original Hindu culture with time. This is because India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world, the Indus Valley civilization as it was called. Over time because of frequent Invasion from Western Countries in Medieval times, India got exposed to the West pretty early on. India soon turned into a Mecca of different cultures and races and faiths And even after all that India didn't lose its true beauty The true beauty of India lies in integration.. There is no culture in the world or no race that didn't or couldn't get integrated into India. In a way India is like the America of the East. A melting pot of the East. It is right in the center of the map between Western and Eastern countries. It's the gateway country to the East. In its most prosperous days, India was the jewel of the East. Most people who came from the West were fascinated by the people, the culture and the pure natural beauty of India in terms of agricultural resources, gold and diamond mines, rich temples with great art and architectural designs. This fascinated the western traditions of Christianity and Islam. A lot of the colonists and invaders of India back in those days were Portuguese, French, Early European, Muslims and Arabs and the British. India was a major trade establishment center between the east and the west.

Sometimes I wondered why I never dated a Muslim. Well, dating a Muslim is a taboo in my culture and community. I can't even imagine or think about it. I would be looked down on or ostracized if I even discussed dating a Muslim. But having had Muslim friends, I have often wondered what it would be like to date a Muslim or be a part of their community. I don't think it's hard. I think it's totally possible to be a hindu and still be a part of a Muslim community. But I have never consciously tried. Most of my friends in school were Christians because I grew up in a Christian community, specifically Catholic. Andrew is Catholic. Catholicism is special to me. As a person so fascinated by religion and spirituality, Islam has also attracted me in many ways In my college days however I relocated to another city where most people in my college were either Hindus or Muslims. So I had the opportunity to meet a few. In my work place, most are Hindus. I rarely come across a Muslim now.

As a Hindu I've always been intrigued by Muslims and their culture. Also the religion of Islam has inspired me in many ways. I have a special place for Muslims in my heart. I have had a few Muslim friends in college and the experience of being around them was an eye opener. Although I did not get to interact with many Muslims, I have certainly been influenced by their uniqueness. In some ways, I have always admired their sobriety and the need for social dignity. Something that I rarely see in other cultures and traditions. I see Muslims as very different people. They have a special and unique way of carrying themselves.. I never had the opportunity of living in a Muslim country. But their culture has influenced me greatly. I feel like a lot of aspects of Islam simply aren't highlighted enough because they are very nuanced. Since childhood I've been fascinated by Muslims. Their cultural aspects made its way into our predominantly Hindu culture and had a tremendous impact on the Hindu culture. In fact today many words that we use as a Hindu have been derived from Muslims. Last night I had a dream about talking to a beautiful Muslim woman and she was telling me stuff that made a lot of sense. Now fundamentally I consider my a Christian after conversion to Christianity in 2015, even before joining here.

@DrewNows hehe

@DrewNows Aww. So sweet. You're charming. So a Pisces woman will be drawn to you. The Pisces woman is generally found in mysterious depths, in the most unexpected ways, and the chemistry strikes instantly, all you need is the openness to welcome the opportunity whenever it strikes, One thing I find very seductive in men is flirting openly. If they flirt with me, they end up attracting me and seducing me. Pisces likes to seduce and be seduced. They have low resistance to seduction. It works like a bait to a fish. If you already know that a woman is Pisces, you will have to approach her very openly and without hesitation. Start a conversation with her and drop subtle hints here and there for her to pick. Pisces are very imaginary and idealistic and visionary. They always have higher goals. So if you talk about everyday mundane things they will be turned off. But if you talked to them about mystical things, nature and the universe and spiritual knowledge, the Pisces will gladly sit and listen to more. Some common traits of a Pisces woman (taken from the web) Their love for sparkle and bling. ... Pisces women love to dress up. ... They have a quirky sense of style. ... The shoes, always look at her feet and shoes. ... She is always in a rush, running a few minutes late, absent minded and a little forgetful. How to attract a Pisces woman (taken from the web) A Pisces Wears Many Masks. She Is Ultra Feminine. Take Time to Win Her Heart. Cultivate the Water Element. Show Her You Know Her. Be Part of Her Refuge From a Noisy, Harsh World. Respect Her Need for Solitude. Pay Attention to What Fascinates Her. As a Pisces, your flirting style is predominantly magnetic, mystical, and sensual. Pisces people are in tuned with their emotions. These folks are generally shy, but they are noticeable. ... A Pisces person will grasp a prospects imagination and take them on a fanciful ride. The things that would attract me and other Pisces woman and ways to keep me in a relationship are A man will need to be gentle and courteous with me. Politeness is highly valued by Pisces women. They don't like bluntness Sharing - lots of sharing. Pisces are touchy Feely and love companionship on a basic level. A Pisces woman likes to cook with her man, likes to go on a hiking trip with him. She likes to read with him, watch TV with him and yet she wants more and doesn't ever get bored. Although she doesn't like talking mundane stuff on the first few dates, she loves sharing all the mundane tidbits of her life with her partner. Places where Pisces get turned on the most - the neck, the back and the ankles. Also the breasts. For a Pisces man, his favorite spot is his neck and chest. He gets turned on when he is touched in these areas. (haha I know because Andrew is a Pisces. I always touch his chest) A Pisces woman doesn't like challenges and provocation. So if a man tried to be sarcastic, she will frown. A Pisces doesn't like a crude joke even if it's made in jest. Pisces love art and aesthetic and raw romance. So you will have to be as sensual as you can be, which by the way is very easy for you as a Pisces man, because sensuality is a hallmark trait of both Pisces men and women. So it won't be a difficulty for you. You have raw sensuality in you and that needs to be put on full display when you are in the company of a Pisces woman. Since Pisces loves art, take your Pisces woman to an art gallery. Take her to a library. Take her to a museum. She would appreciate your interest in the aesthetics. Pisces is a zodiac of the senses Pisces are the most elegant out of the whole zodiac. So a dinner date is a must. Romantic candlelight with sensual music is the type for the Pisces. Select a beautiful place near the beach and book a dinner for a beautiful evening. Pisces love the beach and the waters. They love romantic and aesthetic appeal. Before sex a Pisces would love and desire lots and lots of foreplay. You need to look into her eyes, grab her, touch her, tickle her, kiss her deeply, keep kissing her neck and touching her face. One thing I remember about my ex and the first conversation we had is when he told me that he would kiss my face and gently touch my face. And then turned me on very instantly. Pisces woman like me doesn't like cheap talk. So if a man talked about money and expenses and the boredom of everyday life, I would instantly turn off the conversation and move to something else. Pisces do not like money. They consider money talk as cheap and unappealing. In some ways, Pisces likes an escape. They are not pragmatic and pragmatism doesn't look appealing to them. So if you sat at a restaurant with a Pisces and started talking about the stock market, she is more likely to get up and walk off. Pisces love being admired for their looks. Tell the Pisces woman that she is absolutely beautiful and amazing. Pisces gorge on adulation and flattery. More the better. She won't get bored of it Raw sex. This is not what a Pisces wants. She wants raw romance, directly from the novels, but not raw sex. Talking too much about sex can turn her off. She will cringe. Rather talk about romance, like how much you miss her, how much you want her. Richard Burton Elizabeth Taylor style. Because Elizabeth Taylor was a famous Pisces. Richard Burton a scorpio, their life together was fire. Pisces enjoys fiery romance, like fireworks, passion is the most intimate quality of the Pisces, so her dating history is always enigmatic and colorful, her dating life is like a movie on a big screen, she enjoys the melodrama, ups and downs, Pisces needs a purpose to love her lover, she wants to see it as an eternal cause to be by his side. So raw sex will turn her off but raw romance will make her grow. Her love is exciting, and it comes straight from Romeo and Juliette. She is fiercely loyal and you will have to be with her 24/7 to strengthen your bond with her minute by minute inch by inch. Always be intriguing to the Pisces woman. Give her a sense of companionship and serenity. Be her mighty Macho savior and protector and her passionate lover. And the Pisces woman is forever for you.

2 questions Like..... .. What do I want right now? What do I need right now? Be free in expressing whatever I want.

I need to keep a track of my cravings. Right now I'm craving for a vegan meal.

I want to make a chart of my cravings and how they imply something else in the subconscious mind. Just like how dreams mean something Cravings and their subconscious meanings Sugar energy Shower Me time Shopping Comfort Ocean Peace and serenity Nature Sense of community Hangout sense of companionship An isolated place like an island or desert Isolation and Destress Social media connection Odd or weird behavior Attention Creativity and art Expressing inner state or feelings Games Engagement Coffee Fresh start A warm cozy bed Solitude

Now if not the arctic, then I should live in a place like this. A desert. I don't know why I don't want green places where there are mountains, rivers and green forests. Maybe it's a bit too much. Of course because of the coronavirus I won't go anywhere. But my mind is craving open spaces where nobody lives. I have been to retreats before but they were in the middle of a city or in the mountains. But being in a place where nobody lives is a different experience. Like in the middle of the African Savannah next to a desert or in the Arctic or Antarctica Is this a signal from the universe to do something? I have no clue. Maybe this craving has a subconscious meaning to it. Things like these are intuitive and they always mean something deeper. For example, sometimes when I crave sugar, it could mean I crave energy. If I crave being near an ocean, it would imply I am craving peace and serenity. If I crave

The most important insight this morning is..... I was a bit worried about the state of the society. How society can morally degenerate when too much infestation by bad people happens. I got all emotional and fidgety. I couldn't stand good people suffering and bad people winning. But then I calmed down. And this wonderful insight dawned on me. That it doesn't matter how much gutter exists out there Society could be full of pedophiles and perverts and sick individuals trying to pervert and subvert it. But the Swan doesn't get muddied by the mud. The Swan stays a Swan. Pristine, pure and Incorruptible. The good cannot get corrupted by the evil. No matter how pervasive or powerful that evil may be. Also the bad will deserve the bad. The bad or evil will deserve chaos and destruction and degeneration of the self. Whereas the good will deserve the good and Flourishing. Now if the good gets corrupted, it becomes bad and then it deserves bad as well. The good is not good enough if it gets corrupted. If the fabric of the society is strong nothing can create holes in it. And if holes are created, it's really not the fault of the one causing these holes. It's the fault of the fabric which is weak. Just being good enough is not enough. Being strong is the key. The Swan carries on with grace even in a dirty pond. And if not it will deserve the dirt. The universe has created a masterpiece. The world is perfect as it is, like a mirror reflecting what you show to it. The universe has already taken care of all my questions. It already has a remedy in place. It doesn't care if the society deteriorates or if evil persists. Because it will free the slaves and the sufferers. At the same time it wouldn't change anything at all, because it knows that all the degeneracy is well deserved. God laughs as he plays dice. My question was answered by the universe this morning and I'm glad. The only thing that the universe is telling me right now is "be free" because everything has already been taken care of. Fantastic.

In the same boat. Lol But it gets better. The mind goes back to its natural schedule, at least in my case, takes a bit of time, but happens. One thing I do is blue light Turn on all the lights during the day. This blue light keeps you on and when you turn off at the end of the day, the brain automatically rewires it as a signal to sleep However if you keep the lights on at night, then the brain will remain awake at night. Changing the schedule of the blue light helps a lot with resetting the sleep timing. Try to be as much awake as possible during the day by either exposure to sunlight or room light. And constantly walking around, watching TV. Don't read. But keep doing something. Listen to music or keep talking. Once the day is over, you will feel sleepy out of exhaustion and then putting the lights out means signaling the brain that it's bed time. This article will help you understand how to use the light. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ecowatch.com/amp/blue-light-and-sleep-2646076761
