Another important point of Islam is that Muhammad was married to a 8 or 9-year-old girl when he was over 50, although there was no sexual relationship until she was 10 or 11. This girl, Aisha, later became an important figure in the propagation of Islam. This fact creates a precedent of admitted pederasty that gives a dark tone to the Islamic religion.

Then it's full of being, but when adyashanti explains it's very confusing because he only says: emptiness. He should say that when all structures dissolves , then the reality without structure remains, and this is the potential of any possible form. To realize that you have to dissolve the form, then you realize that the form and the formless are the same in a different state. But saying: reality is emptiness. That's confusing and misunderstanding

All the human karma is the veil that prevents the realization of the truth. multiple layers of energy superimposed on each other create a dense experience, where the emotional drags and blocks, where the perspectives are closed and oppressive. Opening requires the ordering of this karmic structure, and this occurs if that is your karma.

@zazen Very good article, enlightening and accurate imo, data and ideas that I cannot debate, but... the reality is that current Islamic culture, for some reason, reduces, does not expand, slows down, does not liberate. Look at the world, it is very imperfect, full of injustice and madness, but all cultures are advancing, living, mutating and developing, they are opening up to new ways of innovating, trading, working, relating. But the Islamic world seems stagnant. Perhaps the exaggerated importance given to the family? What do you say about the enormous percentage of marriages between cousins? This is very important, and very damaging in the long term. My grandparents were Muslims and cousins btw 😅. I don't know, there is something in Muslim culture that is heavy, oppressive, gray. Islamic cities become earth-colored, dull. It seems that Islam is fading, and it turns off the people attached to it like a virus. These are all opinions based on feelings, which, as you said before, may be mistaken Western prejudices. I would be glad if that were the case and if Islam lived on. Rumi, Ibn Arabi, they are incomparable. No one has reached their purity and their height in my opinion. Another apparent problem of Islam is the trauma of being a secondary religion in the world. It seems that for Islam this is humiliating, impossible to accept. Islam is a virus that needs to impose itself, or so it seems. Half a century ago, Islam was more at ease in its mediocrity, but with the appearance of the networks, its need for expansion grows.

The only way is observing yourself deeper and deeper, no teach is true, all are just pointers and in some point all are toxic, the mind must be absolutely free. We have to perceive our obstacles and dissolve them, until we are totally open

Then when adyashanti says that it's confusing. He is supposedly a teacher, but he defines ultimate reality as emptiness. It seems that he learned this from Buddhism, but it is a misnomer, since emptiness is the absence of anything, and all reality is permeated with being, with reality itself.

Reality is exactly as it is because it is the absolute reflecting itself infinitely, in this way apparent movement, appearance of form and time are produced. Movement is relative to a other movement, without it it would not exist since in infinity nothing really moves. Therefore, any vibration of reality must be perfectly coordinated with all the other vibrations of reality in order to appear. "Appearing" is no more real than "not appearing", it simply manifests, because if it were not perfectly coordinated with all of infinity it would not manifest, it would be unmanifested potential. The absolute is the total potential, not the conciousness, the conciousness is an appearance, that always appears because "always" is in the time, and "never" out of the time. The absolute includes both and the unmanifested absolute is just as real as the manifested, since manifestation is the appearance of movement. Then the absolute is the substance, the absence of limitations that has positive momentum because negative momentum doesn't appear, it's nothing. Then the infinity explodes in infinite dimensions infinitely, all of them perfectly synchronized without the slightest deviation, because any deviation would be infinite deviation and wouldn't appears. then the reality manifested is absolutely perfect always I deduct it because any other possibility seems impossible

Suffering is an emotion, an energetic vibration created by evolution to increase evolutionary efficiency. Without the need to evolve, suffering has no reason to exist and disappears. Stones do not suffer, nor do sardines, they feel pain at specific moments, but not emotional suffering. Higher mammals suffer emotionally in specific cases when their world is not what it should be: they are hungry, they are expelled from the herd, they are afraid. Humans suffer much more because we live in a very complex mental world that creates multiple energetic layers loaded with suffering. Without them, this mental world would collapse and dissapear. From a higher perspective, the suffering of a mother watching her children being tortured is simply a perfect energetic vibration coordinated with all of reality, creating an infinite evolutionary butterfly effect. It exists because it is necessary for the infinite mosaic of reality to be perfectly coordinated, it appears because it is exactly what needs to appear at a given moment. Is it unpleasant? "Unpleasant" is simply an energetic vibration, it is nothing different than the light emitted by a star in its substance.

@cetus adyashanti says : Whatever your self-image is, it is a mask and it is hiding the emptiness In my opinion this definition is confusing and false. What is emptiness? Nothing? Void? Where is the difference between emptiness and fullness? Real meditation is dissolving those diferenciations and perceive yourself, and what you are in not emptiness, because the emptiness is full. The tao that can be named is not the real tao, and adyashanti name the tao calling it emptiness many times, maybe because he's a student of zen Buddhism.

I don't say that this definition is bad, what What I am saying is that there are degrees of this change of identification and I perceive that Adyashanti's level of openness is not broad. I do not perceive depth in his explanations but that they are flat, and also moralistic. In my opinion there are multiple stages in the process of awakening or enlightenment, and knowing and clearly perceiving that you are the essential nature of reality is still an initial phase in which that nature is glimpsed but is still obscured by the structure of the ego. I read the description of when Adyashanti reached enlightenment, that she took her first steps, etc., and my feeling was that she was lying. Simply my perception, which may be wrong.

@zazen I think it is an objective fact that Islamic societies are more violent. By violence I do not mean murder but oppression of individuals. It is true that the golden age of Islam was golden, and Islamic mystical philosophers were great. But Christian societies always left more room for creativity and individual freedom. Something like the Renaissance or the Enlightenment would have been crushed in Islam, and would be crushed today. No Islamic country today would allow a revolutionary philosophical artistic movement, it would suppress it with violence. Yes, in Brazil there are more killings than in Iran, but in Iran each and every one of its inhabitants is subjected to the crushing violence of Islam, like a slab on them, while Brazilians are not. Islam oppresses and castrates. Christianity did it too, but by leaving more space it allows creativity to flourish. Islam prohibits drawing or sculpting humans! Why? Why the hell can't I sculpt a human figure? Because Mohammed said so? That's castration. Mohammed prohibits me from eating pork and drawing humans because he says so, and I bow my head and obey, and by doing so I am a castrated being, mentally inferior to a non-castrated being, that's what Islam does. You can give whatever data you want, but the facts are like that.

@Flowerfaeiry imo the starting point of real spirituality is to empty the mind of any belief. Absolute zero, you have to be an empty vessel to perceive yourself.

@Inliytened1 if reality is as you believe, that you are god imagining the reality, why you can't fly?

That's a mistake, god is the universe, not an entity who imagined the universe

But in other hand, this is so horrible 😂 the lyrics of the song , I can't listen it

This video is good, but his way of looking at it in my opinion is the other way around, he says: the universe is perfect geometry, if it weren't it would collapse, that's why it works. It's the other way around, perfect geometry is the only option, all the other possible options can't arise, perfection is not the cause but the consequence. His description of aligning yourself, emptying yourself, so that the cosmos enters you is accurate, he's talking about real enlightenment there

@Howtolive if I were you I would totally forget any spiritual teaching, all are toxic. Each mind is different from the others, its structures are unique. You have to penetrate into yourself and perceive your energetic structure, no one else can do it, only you. Words and ideas must be left out, only one intention: enter, perceive, open. Do you remember when you were a kid, when you were 2 years old? Probably you don't, but in that time the magic was flowing in yourself, and this is the absolute happiness. This is still inside you, without stain, completely perfect, closed in an energetic box. You have to open it

When adyashanti talks, and some fragments that is read, immediately I have the feeling that he's talking about self help. How to modify your emotions to make them more loving and harmonious. I believe that this does not work, there is only one possibility, to break your human structure completely, anything else keeps you in a state of dissatisfaction. I perceive that Adyashanti is in that state of dissatisfaction.

There is another possibility. Reality is being without opposition, it is positive momentum because negative momentum does not exist. Reality explodes and coordinates with itself in infinite synchronistic patterns. The fit is perfect because that which is not perfect does not arise. Potential is infinite and selects itself by synchronizing itself in increasingly complex ways in infinite cyclical dimensions. Everything is like a holographic bubble, infinite reflections of reality with itself infinitely synchronized in infinite directions, dancing. Nothing that is not absolutely perfect to infinite power can appear

Then the kid went to the school, He grew up, and with each passing day he became a little more distant from himself, until one day he said to himself: wow, how funny, I am completely alienated, confused, full of neuroses, anxiety and the prospects are rather dark/black! Then he thought: there is only one possible way: real awakening, the destruction of this structure that I call human, all of the lines that makes him, because are lines designed by a crazy architect. Then, in the middle of nowhere, absolutely alone, he found himself

What spirituality is is looking directly into the abyss and become it, to expand and forget about yourself. To open your mind completely now, without any energetic barriers, without limits. It is not something that is achieved by stopping thought with techniques, but through will. You want to open yourself, you want to give yourself. To what extent? To death, you have to slowly accept total dissolution and desire it. There are barriers, I have them, you have them, but in the end we all die. Why not now? Beauty awaits. I perceive it, it's becoming more and more clear. Inside is everything

Islam reached excellence in that era. They were a positive culture, lovers of life, researchers, philosophers of the highest level. Ibn Arabi or Rumi are much superior to any European mystical philosopher.

Exactly, that means that the reality is absolute beauty, but our human bias closes the lens and only perceives as beautiful what is good for us, so the more selfless you are, the more open you are to absolute beauty, and the more selfish, the more open to relative beauty, like Lamborghinis and models

Then we should differentiate between absolute and relative beauty. Absolute beauty would be the perception of beauty inherent in reality, and relative beauty would be the perception of what suits us. So, elevated taste would be what tends more towards the absolute and vulgar taste towards the relative. The absolute is absolutely beautiful by default, but some manifestations highlight that beauty more than others, even if our perception is not very open.

Maybe sadhguru should promote you to enlightened super Saiyan z gt 30 cm dick when he retires. I settle for a secondary position as a semi-divine superhuman avatar Yes sure, when a meth addict fucks his 2 year old son while stabbing him, he is acting with good intention. What is "good intention"? People act according to their nature, just like crocodiles or viruses
