There is a God. The only question is "Is God really good and loving? Or is it bastardish and deceptive?".

Fools love fooling each other! Direct experience generates the highest understanding and insights. But relying too much on it can be impractical. If somebody wants or needs to share something with no direct experience behind it, they must be conscientious about it; ensuring what they share is sensible or at least carefully thought out. That's a manifestation of tact. And if you have something sensible or at least interesting to say. You know you're doing correct self-help, philosophy and spirituality when your feelings, perspectives, worldviews, and lifestyle change for the better. It affects every aspect of your life; the way you talk, walk, act, and react. I know this is the case. This insight is based on direct experience. If you don't actually go and eat that mango or apple and instead, you spend too much time talking about how delicious the mango or apple is and how you would love to eat it; your tragic life is your own doing. You did that shit to yourself. * This message is for the public, not specifically for you.

That's blatant falsehood. How could you call yourself more conscious than an average human? Here's the evidence of your lie. Updates as of Monday 16 October 2023 19:04, UK Source: https://news.sky.com/story/israel-hamas-war-doctor-in-gaza-hospital-pleads-for-help-as-aid-and-electricity-run-low-12985686 If Israel eventually allows food and other humanitarian aid to Gaza, it's because of international community's pressure ONLY. Blatant lie. No conscious country would steal territories and murder their fellow humans who had been living there for centuries to establish a state for the Jews. Was it as cruel as the Zionist Jews' murder and displacement of almost a million native Palestinians during the "Nakba" or "1947-1949 War"? Hamas surely is cruel. But I understand why they do such horrible things to Jews. I don't promote what they do. But I understand them. That's a good thing to say to yourself. Here's a possible solution: Israel should honor the UN Partition Plan in November 1947. Return what they have stolen from the Palestinians. Return parts of the Galilee, the coastal plain, the Negev Desert, and portions of Jerusalem. Israel should also return the Golan Heights and parts of the West bank, territories they stole during the Six-Day War in 1967. Israel is lucky to have been allowed to establish and maintain the Jewish State by the UN. Honoring the UN Partition Plan in November 1947 is the least they can do. Of course, Hamas should also accept that they can't completely eliminate Israel, and simply allow the Jewish State to exist. It depends on how well the UN can enforce the plan this time. The first time they tried, 76 years ago, they failed.

No it's not. These innocent people just wanted to live, didn't bother anyone. Young people was peacefully partying, how the fuck they are a threat to Palestine? Israel is simply paying the price of Zionism. It's not the same. This cutting is a sanction as a result of the Hamas crime against Israel, until then, they were supplied with water and electricity. What is really Nazi is to kill innocent people the way Hamas did, merely because they are Israeli or Jewish. Starving Palestinians to death is as bad as what the Nazi did to the Jews, of course. "Gassing Jews to death is a sanction as a result of the crime committed against Germany" -Hitler That's falsehood. The extreme Zionists broke the 2-state system implemented in the region after WW2 by murdering Palestinian tribes to implement Zionism. Zionists slaughtered children, babies, women, and old people for Zionism. That's the truth. That link is from the University of Tel Aviv. That's not a reliable source for me because it might be mixed with Zionist propaganda. What's clear to me now is that the modern Palestinians and Lebanese are the descendants of the Canaanites who predates the Biblical Jew occupation. I'm a Muslim? I was born and raised Roman Catholic. I don't hate Jews. But bullies and pretentious humans do NOT have my sympathy. It's better if you ask yourself and be self-honest when answering this question, "What's my connection to Israel? Are my perspectives neutral or sensible? Or they seem sensible because of my bias?". Israel and the USA will continue to pay a price for what they have been doing to the Arab Muslims. Now, they have angered the 2 billion Muslims in Asia. Israel and the USA will NOT have my sympathy. They deserve all the shit they will get.

If somebody steals your land, that's a valid reaction. But at the expense of the native Palestinians, hence, immature. Yes, it is noble. But cutting food and water supply is barbaric. That's as bad as what the Nazis did to the Jews. You didn't know there may be cultural and genetic continuity between the ancient Canaanites and some of the modern populations in the region, particularly among the local Palestinian and Lebanese populations. Who are the Canaanites? The Canaanites were one of the earliest known indigenous peoples of the region, and their presence in the area that now encompasses present-day Israel and Palestine dates back thousands of years. Their civilization flourished in the ancient Near East. The Canaanites had a rich culture and religious tradition. They worshipped a pantheon of deities, with gods and goddesses associated with various aspects of life, nature, and fertility. The most well-known of these deities was Baal, the storm and fertility god. Their religious practices included rituals and sacrifices, often performed in temples and sacred spaces within their city-states. Here are the Sources: "The Genomic History of the Middle East" (Marc Haber, et al., 2016) This study, published in the journal PLOS Genetics, explores the genetic diversity and historical migrations in the Middle East. It discusses the genetic connections between ancient and modern populations. "The Canaanites: The People of the East" (Marc Van De Mieroop, 2019) This book explores the history and culture of the Canaanites and their interactions with neighboring peoples. It may provide information on their historical legacy. Suppose it's true that the descendants of Canaanites are the Palestinians and Lebanese, would you (you might be a Jew) and other Jews honor the truth? Would you give Israel back to the modern Canaanites? Of course no, because you don't care about truth or goodness. You only care about yourself and your biases.

AI is an extraordinary gift from God to humans. With the correct vision and regulations, AI will significantly transform the world from hellish to heavenly. The positive impacts of AI are all-encompassing; from the reduction of wage slavery to improvement in governmental functions, judicial systems, food and water supply, housing, physical health, art, innovation, technology, mental-emotional satisfaction, spirituality, and more. AI is a direct expression of God's goodness.

The problem with this reasoning is that it doesn't end. Who occupied Israel 1,000; 2,000; or 3,000 years ago? How about 5,000 years ago? Any group of people who lived in the land before the Jews can claim it as their own. If it was true that Gabor Mate, a Jew gave up his dream of a Jewish state because it would mean the destruction of the native Palestinians, he has my respect. That's a manifestation of maturity.

Heaven can be a place, human, animal, star, moon, sunset, clouds, the internet, etc. It can also be you if you have developed yourself to be a beautiful human. Feeling internal peace and fulfillment is high-level heaven. I'm sure about that. I felt it a few hours ago and still feeling it now while I'm writing this reply. Heaven is simply any form of beauty.

What you said is sensible and you got my attention. I did notice it. He proclaimed he accomplished absolute omniscience. It would have been more accurate if he replaced "omniscience" with something else. I see what you mean. I hate to say it, but I feel as if I have been metaphorically crucified for many years. When I look at the suffering of others, I feel overwhelmed with repulsion. Then I ask myself whether God is really good and loving. It's only God who feels constant joy and love from his dream creation. Its creatures are suffering and dissatisfied. Many are horrified, thinking it's a nightmare. This is a common belief among Christians, especially Catholics. But who created the Demon or Devil? It can be explained as God created the universe via the Devil or Ego. God is partly evil, regardless. How did you know he didn't read it? He might have read it but thought it was spiritual garbage. I haven't read a book in many years. Now I'm reading one because your post caught my attention. I hope this is not another spiritual garbage. I have enough of that. Have you let go of everything the world has to offer? If so, why are you still alive and made this post? Food, water, electricity, computer, and the internet are things the world offer. Regardless, I have covered 15% of the book. What the author thought to himself below has crossed my mind many times since I was a teenager. I think I will finish reading this "out of this world" book. To be honest, I feel fear thinking of what I might realize which can cause significant destruction to my worldview and spiritual insights. But I want and need to know the truth.

That’s a valid perspective. So, it's ok not to intervene and do something good for society. Societies around the world deserve all the shit they're getting. But another valid perspective is that you do good things to other humans not because they're good and deserving, but because you're good. In my case, I honor the 2 perspectives, hence I don't t feel any pressure to do sth good and I don't feel any guilt.

I have a love-hate relationship with God. In fact, I curse God regularly. Why? Because I know nothing is random. Every human, animal, event, situation, plan, system, spiritual teacher, molecule, cell, etc. is manifested or materialized according to God's will. Every form of suffering or ugliness such as child abuse, rape, cancer, depression, self-murder (suicide), murder, ALS, HIV, Hashimoto disease, anxiety, down syndrome, corruption, exploitation, war, bipolar disorder, the natural cycle of animals eating other animals for survival, etc. exists because God wills it. Only a bastard can design such shit. I understand my perspective and perception are limited; hence, I don't see the grandest scheme of things. But my human perspective and perception are all I have. I must honor them. I even intuit that such horrors I mentioned are needed for the highest good and beauty. God is unlimited, hence it's perfect. If there's a perspective which is faulty, it's mine, not God's. I understand these things. But in the end, I must honor my limited perspective and perception. As I have said, it's all I have. I feel doing so is actually more genuine than pretending I have access to God's unlimited perspective and see perfection in all the horrors of this dream existence.

That's the main problem. I cannot bear this. Each time I see someone suffering, I know it's me. Every child, every person is me and there's so much suffering in this world, how can you face this ? SELF-LOVE AND STRONG WILL

- https://railbus.com/ I want to invest on it but I hesitate. The website looks decent. Webparanpoid.com and scamadvisor.com reported it as safe. https://webparanoid.com/en/check-website/railbus.com https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/railbus.com But the promised ROI is too big and consistent. It sounds too good to be true. I believe in the technology. I think it will have a big, positive impact on the world. But I have been scammed via an online investment which resulted in financial and mental-emotional depression. I don’t want to experience that shit again. Anybody familiar with this website? Is it genuine or a scam?

Becoming immortal in this century is a pipe dream. Staying alive for a few hundred years is not possible within 30 years. Many years ago, I used to struggle with the fact that I am mortal and will die in the future. Death makes life empty because all your experiences, accomplishments, and even memories will all be wiped out when you die. When you're dead, it feels as if you have never been born. If you understand I'm saying, it will be obvious to you that death renders life empty (other humans use the words "pointless" and "meaningless." to describe it). When I finally discovered the ultimate purpose of my human existence, the depression and lamentation about the fact of death significantly decreased. Instead, I started to feel deep joy, love, excitement, and peace regularly. It's still clear that death renders life empty, but it feels it has a noble purpose, is beautiful, and is worth living. During those years of depression, lamentation, and nihilism; I wanted to live eternally. I felt that would be the only way for my life to have meaning and value. In retrospect, it was foolish of me to desire immortality. I would want to live for a few hundred years so I can maximize the accomplishment of the purpose of my human existence. I feel that staying alive for less than one hundred years is too short. I have too many plans and ambitions. I have too many concubines, wives, parks, hills, walking paths, songs, articles, videos, birds, dogs, lakes, cuisines, technological advancements, houses, etc., to enjoy, appreciate, and create. But I would NOT want to be immortal. It's clear to me now that being immortal is the worst mental-emotional torture God could ever inflict on its creatures. That might sound surprising, but it is the case. It's because I am limited. All the beautiful things I can enjoy, appreciate, and create will always be limited. More importantly, I myself am limited. My intelligence, perception, senses, and capacity to appreciate, enjoy, and create beauty are limited. After a few hundred years of human life, I would be sick of all the things I used to enjoy and admire. That's what being limited means. Hence, it is appropriate that my lifespan should also be limited. God seems to know what it's doing after all via the creation of death.

Those websites do display something similar to this; "The website you're checking is dangerous. Stay away from it." if it's an untrustworthy website. You can find such information on their "About Us" page. https://railbus.com/about/ Here's a screenshot: haha! Yes, I became more hesitant when I noticed the things you described. Saying the company isn't worthy of any investment is sensible. Thanks for the input.

You’re back to being a dick again. Stop being an asshole. In this situation, his bastardness is not serious and doesn't matter. If you're worried about him straying from the path of goodness he proclaimed to follow, just understand that accomplishing a big and important goal is difficult and takes time. And even if he had decided to abandon the path, that would NOT matter. It's his problem, not yours. Just focus on your chosen path. It's not better and it's not sustainable.

Why do you think so? Don't you have any suspicions? That was why I hesitated to invest in it. In my case, it's the fear of being scammed. You're a malicious son of a scammer. But thanks for the input. Aside from the crazy ROI forecast, do you see other signs of a scam? And how was this scam website able to get away with not being detected as a scam by webparanoid.com and scamadvisor.com?

Buddhism stands as a venerable spiritual tradition which has captivated the hearts of many because of its seemingly profound spiritual principles. I myself looked up to Buddhism after escaping the spiritual garbage of Catholicism. But In retrospect, I ended up exchanging one form of spiritual garbage for another. Before I continue, I must emphasize my admiration for Buddhism’s pillars: Wisdom (Prajna), Ethical Conduct (Sila), and Mental Development (Samadhi). I also love Buddhism’s emphasis on compassion towards all sentient things. Furthermore, the profound significance placed on Mindfulness within Buddhism's fabric resonates with me, signifying a harmonious union of awareness and presence. But I have a big problem with Buddhism’s concepts of Samudaya (Origin of Suffering) and Nirodha (Cessation of Suffering). Yes, it’s good to reduce suffering but it’s BAD to do it via the elimination of attachment and desire. If God intentionally created you, the ego, to have human experience and then to accomplish the ultimate PURPOSE; why would God detest the ego? The concept of renouncing the ego is contradictory and absurd. I feel compelled to scrutinize Buddhism’s pinnacle spiritual pursuit—Nirvana. The notion of a permanent cessation of suffering and a perpetual state of peace is disconnected from the reality of human existence. To be human is to inherently grapple with limitations, hence, the existence of suffering is woven into the fabric of our collective experience. Reports of extreme Buddhist meditators who don’t suffer in any form is bullshit. Yes, it’s possible to be free from all form of suffering for a few hours, but not in a few weeks, let alone years. So, it’s obvious the Buddha never reached Nirvana. Nirvana is a spiritual pipe dream. Buddhism is inherently flawed at its core. I also looked up to Sadhguru when I started to delve into spirituality. I still admire his foundational principles such as Inner Engineering, his visionary efforts with Project Greenhands, and his emphasis on nurturing well-being and spiritual growth. But Sadhguru is wordy and vague. He emits 70% noise and only 30% signal. I don’t have much time for his babble. And he never clarified the pinnacle of his spiritual pursuit. Leo’s “You’re God dreaming your human life.” is clear as fuck and aligns with my style. When asked about the ultimate purpose of human life, Sadhguru responded with “The purpose of human life is to live it.” His response suggests that his guidance will also lead others off the spiritual cliff. So, what's the ultimate purpose of human existence? Yes, it's spirituality. But spirituality is more than just a profound understanding of existence; it also encompasses a deep reverence for it. It's a celebration of life, an intense appreciation of its magnificence, sacredness, and splendor. To simplify, the ultimate purpose is ROMANCE WITH EXISTENCE. A Poodle's Spiritual Walk

I feel compelled to capture something mundane but also spiritual via words. I alternated between walking and running for 1.5 hours along a concrete walking path, which was adorned by a row of trees, plants, and flowers. I do it every 2 or 3 days, usually at night. My solitude, and the silence and darkness of the night made me feel the mystery and sacredness of existence. When I was walking, I observed the beauty which surrounded me. I also contemplated my life. I was repulsed by my horrible past. But I also felt a deep appreciation of the current, premium version of myself; and the things I did my entire adult life to materialize it. When I was running, I felt good, appreciating my body's strength and health. I also marveled at the intelligence my human body possesses to be able to perform such activities. I used to take these things for granted, especially when I was young and foolish. I stopped from time to time to admire the silhouette of a nearby hill, a tree which stood out from the others, and an old electrical post. These "ordinary" things felt similar to gifts from God. I felt overwhelmed with gratitude. Every moment of my spiritual walk and run was magical and mysterious. And I cherished the privilege of existence. For 1.5 hours, I immersed myself in bliss, except for the moment I revisited my painful memories of an ugly childhood and teenage years. Then I felt elation when I realized that my spiritual walk and run are an all-in-one package. It relieves me from mental-emotional and bodily stress, enables me to generate new insights, keeps my body healthy and strong, fills me with gratitude and joy, and enables me to experience spirituality in action. Life is a nightmare. But my spiritual walk and run significantly make life worth living. It's as satisfying as spiritually fucking my concubines. All the problems and dissatisfaction don't matter during those moments. It's an oasis of serenity amidst the chaos. It's not just a mere walk and run. It's a celebration of life, a sacred communion with existence. I crafted this post not only to honor and immortalize the magical experience via encapsulating it in words, but also to ignite inspiration in others.

Interesting. I'll investigate Buddhism's iPhone 14 when I have time. That tantric Buddhism surely caught my attention. Thanks for the info and the link.

My pleasure. That's good. It all starts with a will to do it. Things will be challenging along the way, but you must continue walking on that path. It's also important to generate love inside you. The love is too great; it overflows. That enables you to have a romance with existence. The good thing is it also applies to girls. Girls will notice and feel that love; they can't help but fall in love. I recently realized that having respect for truth and goodness makes you pure. Yes, life will be more difficult because integrity must be sustained. It's challenging, especially in the first few years when you're still learning to implement it. But there's a great reward - purity. That purity is where deep joy and peace sprouts from. That's also how God reveals its mystery, sacredness, and power. That sounds a lot because it is. But you can take it slow and give yourself 10 years to accomplish it significantly. But you'll probably start to feel the result in the 5th year. Is it worth it? Yes, of course. It's the purpose of your human existence. It's spirituality in action.

My pleasure. But don't tell me you and @Yimpa are the same person.

It's all about intensifying your awareness or consciousness. How do you do this? By purifying yourself from all forms of toxicity. Here are a few things I did to accomplish it. Quitting alcohol and cigarette I used to drink and get wasted almost every night for many years. I also used to smoke 1 pack of cigarettes per day. In the past 6 years, I've been more mindful of my diet. I ensure I eat a variety of veggies and fruits regularly. Eliminating toxic humans I learned to generate self-respect and establish boundaries. I eliminated family members, coworkers, friends, and everybody who dumped their metaphorical garbage on me. The ones who stayed are my real friends and the ones who are my "cheerleaders". Mindfulness meditation I read "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle more than 10 years ago. I implemented one form of meditation recommended in the book: I used to direct my attention to the pressure on my feet when I walked. I also spent significant solitary time in nature. I would sit there and stare at the trees for a few hours straight. I focused on the shapes and colors of the leaves and branches. I was mesmerized by the design, knowing that every twist and curve is an expression of God's art. I only listened to beautiful music. I was very picky about the music I played. I couldn't stand listening to music with low intelligence or an ominous melody. I could only listen to the best songs artists around the world could ever produce. I enjoyed all genres, including rock and metal. But such songs need to be harmonic or melodic. This is still true now. I rectified my internal destruction. I had one of the worst fathers God has ever created; hence I was completely internally destroyed. I had extreme anxiety (OCD, BDD, GAD, agoraphobia, etc., and suicidal depression. There were months I could not get out of my room because of the intensity of the mental-emotional tortures. I devoted my entire 20s to self-therapy and self-healing. Such internal work involved much introspection, contemplation, journaling, research, and self-honesty. I also faced my greatest insecurities and fears. My advice is to BYPASS spiritual bypassing. Solitary walks in nature What I shared in my post, "Romance with Existence at Night," is just one of the hundreds of my solitary walks. I've been doing it on and off for 6 years in Japan and my home country. I have probably done other things, but I can't remember them now, especially because I'm sleepy while writing this. It's 4 am where I am. Anyway, after doing the things I mentioned for many years, everything has changed. The cuisines, girls, trees, dogs, stones, snow, hills, walking paths, etc., became more delicious, brighter, crispier, and full of mystery, sacredness, and power. The world didn't change. What actually changed was my awareness or consciousness.

I hope Serenity can be your oasis of serenity amidst the chaos.

I scored 28 out of 40. But I'm not surprised because I had always known I have significant similarities with NPD humans. And the high score is just a manifestation of my high self-love. But I guarantee that I'm the opposite of NPD, believe it or not. There's truth in this test. But it's not very reliable. There were only 2 options. There were times I felt the 2 options equally described me, but I was forced to choose one. There were also times I felt the 2 options did NOT describe me, but I was forced to choose one.
