Someone here

For your information The people who protect the Kaba in Saudi Arabia and devote their whole lives to taking care of the hygiene of the Kaba and Muhammed's grave must be castrated to do this role . They were like that since the first centuries of Islam. They must be castrated so that lust doesn't distract them from devoting their entire lives to serve God. Also in the history of Christianity many saints used to castrate themselves or pick out their own eyeballs and induce blindness to themselves on purpose so that they forget about sex and women completely and devote their whole life to divinity . Also Hinduism calls the way to realize God "Brahamacharia"...this word literally translates as" the way to Brahama" or the way to God but it also means celibacy.

The real "I" won't disappear forever . However this particular human being you're identified with will disappear forever. Why ? Think of falling asleep and waking up in the morning ..at the end of the day don't you find yourself exhausted and sleepy and ready to fall asleep and crash in your bed ? And then you die temporarily in sleep and wake up next morning refreshed and energised. Same thing with life and death. When you get old enough it's similar to being sleepy af and you will have experience fatigue and you will be totally fine with the idea of death .you will die temporarily to rest and you will be born again as a child refreshed and energised .

Sorry to hear man. Wish you well. Whatever you gonna tell him just tell him good things that will help him feel peace and surrender instead of fear and existential dread .

Rest assured everyone have had these kinds of thoughts ..not just spiritual people but like i said ..everyone . Create in your direct experience a distinction between what is actual or true and what is just mind shatter running rampant. Use your five senses here ..keep sharpening this distinction everyday. Your life is actual..whereas all your thoughts about hell and death and such things belong to the garbage can. I'm not saying it's that simple because at the beginning the thoughts will keep bothering you ..you need to have an awakening into what thoughts are and especially fearful thoughts are .

In case we want to avoid feeling like shit when the universe isn't turning the way we want it to...do you think it's more helpful to believe we are the hero of this movie called life or that we are just feathers in the wind..or as Leo once have said so eloquently " we are God's bitch "?

I think the opposite is the case . Instead of getting so absorbed in yourself and too egocentric believing the universe is revolving around you and taking everything personally..I say instead of doing that try to realize how you don't matter to the universe that much . I'm not saying which one is true but I'm saying which is more helpful in bypassing suffering which you can't control .

😂

@Mellowmarsh sit down and do the experiment i told you and report the results please . good luck thinking you exist without thinking you exist .

You,silly .

@Mellowmarsh I'm wiling to change my tone and step down to your level if you show signs of willingness to learn. .remember that you started the sarcastic tone. Go back and read carefully. Great..so Absolute Truth is NOT a logical truth that can be argued ..we agree ..you are saying Absolute Truth is "the undeinable existence of yourself ". I'm saying say that sentence and observe how your mind is imagining the meanings..now stop saying it ..its gone .its gone its not there .so what now ?do I have to keep reminding myself that I exist so that I exist? You would say that's the point you don't have to but you still exist...but you actually do not exist If you don't think the thought "I exist " .check please. Do you understand what I'm saying . Rocks don't exist because they don't think .(from the inside out obviously ).

Very sneaky tactic. Dismiss his point and only make the conversation about whatever conclusion you already have in your mind .too Old school . The content of the question is irrelevant. I'm making a meta point. You're thinking Absolute Truth is found in one set of ideas or worldview. Like how religious nutcases argue about religious baloney. Here's what I have and I'm done with you: Absolute Truth doesn't require debate or agreement. If its already Absolute Truth its just the case prior to logic. And yes I can deny my own existence. I can do worse than that .

@Mellowmarsh Being is prior to logic .you can't come up with some absolute logical formula that encapsulates everything in few paragraphs in a forum .don't be adorable.

@Mellowmarsh you are the one deflecting .I bursted your absolute truth bubble but you can't handle this level of uncertainty ..sure have it..i wish to hang reality on a nail as well..but I'm afraid it's impossible.

You do realize that is totally contingent on you holding these ideas in your mind? Such that as soon as you finish the sentence then it's no longer true ? A child wouldn't even know what the fuck are you talking about it.

Everyone here has no life let's not talk bonkers jk lol😁 I've actually read a lot of studies on this..intellectual people and heady folks who dare to pierce behind the surface of things and can see through the whole social matrix in few seconds are usually introverted nerds.
