An young being

No issues! I solve this problem my posting it with the errors, then hiding that post and creating a new post after copying the content. True. The only way to escape the forces is to become light. Provided that you don't fall straight into a black hole!

So gravity is simply objects attracting each other instead of falling on each other? Also I heard there is no place in space where gravity is absolutely zero.

Because everything that goes up ( or sideways) has to come down?

By realizing that nothing is permanent.

As long as we don't remember them, it doesn't matter personally. But as a belief though, it matters a lot.

Religions help in the sense that they give faith and hope in difficult times and also not view everything around them through a scientific lens.

Sounds like a good idea, especially when Rts genre is stagnant without any new ideas. My only advice would be to make it as fun as possible even if it means giving less importance to be accurate in terms of the spiral dynamics mechanics!

I still remember a few dreams from my childhood even though I forgot most of my childhood life. One was going to a house in the sky and accidentally falling from there straight into my bed. Another one was a poster turning into a real life character and chasing me in the night.

A more apt word for Love which could be understood by all easily is 'Acceptance'.

The problem with saying "Everything is God" is that different people define God differently.

Sufism is interesting and closer in touch with Spirituality, but unfortunately it's not getting the necessary attention in the Islam world the same way as Hindus nowadays leaning towards materialistic superstitions instead of the core spiritual concepts Hinduism was supposed to teach.

When it comes to Spirituality, ego is the main obstacle. Whenever we learn some new insight through some Spiritual practice or other means, it pulls us one step up, but when you see down from there and think you are above others, the whole staircase moves two steps distance down. This section is all about Spirituality, so if you want to do something good for the people here, hurt their ego as much as possible, so that the entire staircase moves upwards, but make sure your staircase is not moving down in that process.

In India, devotion to God in some form ( which started with bhakti movement in my state) was established as the primary driver of Hinduism, since common people with no exposure to spirituality found it difficult to follow Hinduism and also to fight caste discrimination. Instead of the traditional meditative or ascetic means for Enlightenment, the movement proposed divine love for a god of choice as an effective method. In these periods, praise of different gods took mainstage instead of scriptures with deep or difficult to decipher meanings. It was also considered as a movement to control the spread of Islam ironically.

Good, it sounds like couch surfing with added bonuses. Great! I would suggest you to visit Kerala as well to get a taste of greenery.( but make sure you research the places whether it's the right time to visit though, since there are many hills and some places have lots of rain). Nepal is a great choice to be one with nature, with the mighty Himalayas!

But does the quantity of gods really matter? I have been taught a poem by Kambar during my school days which roughly translates into " If you say, God is one. God is one. If you say God is many, God is many. If you say God is none, God is none. If say God exists, God exists. If you say God is something, God is something. If you say God is everything, God is everything. God exists based on our beliefs. If we understand that, life will be better." I believe it applies to all faith.

By the way, where are you planning to start your tour? I believe you told it's from South, but we Indians don't consider Goa to be a South city.

Nice! But I am not sure if volunteering jobs would fetch you good money. ( Although I have little knowledge in that area.). In Tamil Nadu, you have the advantage that even smaller cities are above average in development. Chennai will be the first choice to have a balance between finding work and exploration. Pondicherry and mahabalipuram are popular places to visit nearby. The city is also cheaper to stay compared to other major metro cities. Next to Chennai, Coimbatore is the most developed city ( Isha yoga centre is popular there) , followed by Trichy and Madurai.( which also houses a popular temple). I believe you can easily find some work to do there. You can also check room rent prices in each city using booking.com. A disadvantage in Tamilnadu is that tourist spots are spread across the state. But if you travel by bus or train, they are very cheap!

This belief itself might turn out to be an insult to our intelligence.

The quality of the play is so good that no matter how many times we tell us things like, "I am alone, I am all alone" , "This is all a dream" etc., we will be pulled back into 'reality' faster than we imagined.

Because the snake is flexible and can gulp its own tail?

The answer is "I don't know".

Yep! And you have to be compassionate towards yourself as well. And be grateful that you are in a better position than them.

If you feel you are short on money and will be suffering without enough of it, you have to concentrate on making enough money to meet your needs rather than finding a job that entirely fits your passion, atleast for the time being. In such case, you have to find a balance between how much money the job provides for survival and how much you are passionate about it. You can be passionate about multiple things in life and it's not necessary you have to allocate the most of your time to the thing which you have the highest passion. What you are doing right now is good. You are passionate about chess and you are allocating some time to it every week. Try to do the same for other things you are passionate about by allocating some time for other passions in your free time. It can be as simple as helping people at your workplace.( which you already seem to do). This problem of feeling inferior arises due to comparison. You are comparing with people at a higher strata in your society. But for the universe as a whole, it doesn't matter how far you are in the ladder or how much you contribute to the society or what others think of you. Remember that Earth is a tiny dot in the universe and for God, it doesn't matter whether that tiny earth gets bigger or smaller. What Elon Musk does to change the world is just like adding a drop of water in the ocean. For God, Gandhi and you are one and the same. God can make all the human beings in earth attain the highest possibility of development in a second, but God doesn't do that. God wants to experience life as you, and experiencing life is the universal life purpose. All other purposes that human makes ultimately serves that purpose. It doesn't matter how you live your life, what only matters is how unique your life is. No matter what you do, your life is already unique. You are the only one who are experiencing the unique life you are living and striving to live. It doesn't have to be great or better. It can even be the worst possible life in the world. If your mind still wishes to compare, compare your life with the millions of beggars on the world. Compare with the homeless people and the people who are unemployed. According to your definition of life purpose, they don't have any life purpose at all, yet they live a unique life as others in God's perspective. And they wish to live too. If you still wish to become a better person in the society, which is also a unique experience and loved by God, it's important to improve life in steps. There's nothing wrong in having great ambitions, but make sure your desires are within your reach and not far fetched. All the levels of comparison are made within your mind, so setting an achievable and shorter goal like getting a better salary or getting a small promotion will give you the same happiness as, for example, Elon Musk establishing another billion dollar company, when comparative success is removed out of the equation. Instead of creating bigger goals, develop your humane characters such as compassion, gratitude, love etc. They will affect your happiness more than the other factors. What your post is about is ( seeing others success as yours) is also one of the characters falling in the humane category.

True, I came to know about that only after entering this forum, even though it seems to be a popular theory among westerners.

In decades, maybe. In the last and present century, definitely not! These things happen all the time. But we can live as a human only for 80 to 100 years, so these things seem new to us. Even if there is a possibility of extreme events such as a third world war, things will recover in due time. Already we have recovered from a pandemic despite huge losses of life and economy, and the present wars are smaller in scale compared to the wars we have seen in the past, and Trump is not going to destroy the democractic system, so we can recover sooner than we think even if the damages are heavy. Still, people should worry about how things are becoming worse, since people's voice is important in raising awareness among governments, that's the essence of being democratic.
