Learning doesn't necessarily mean that you are or will become a believer.

Even if you believe that it can help you, being religious is not about practicing spirituality. They are selling a small and unintelligent part of it to you, but you will be learning (brainwashed with) a specific lifestyle. It's a mind scam. They are extremely biased and mostly untruthful.

@Someone here and you think islam would help you? Believers are wrong. Why shouldn't you trust me?

@Someone here it's not good.

@Someone here Religious people are more easily deceived. They are not willing to experience life with open-mindedness, and they are overly comfortable with their extremely limited perspective of the world, which they justify with spiritual fantasies. But do what you've got to do. How are you going to be a Muslim if you can't even decide to take a break from the forum?

@Princess Arabia ?

@Princess Arabia You can't find yourself if you're not lost. When you find yourself and then lose yourself again, you will act differently this time because you know that you can find yourself, however it may be, and you will be more responsible for being lost. People who think that they have found themselves without losing themselves are already lost and will never find themselves. So losing yourself is very important, and it needs to happen if you really want to find yourself. What I'm saying is that it's good to know that you can be more responsible when you are lost and find ways to find yourself if you actually want it.

@Princess Arabia Just double tap on a word and extend the selection.

The creator is always responsible for its creation. It gets lost in its creation for loving it, being afraid of it, etc., so saying it should be responsible is more of a standard that it could set for itself in order to see its creation as a whole while doing things with it. It's amazed by its creation, and it also knows that it created it, which makes it understand that it has authority over it, which also means that it knows that its creation has the power to change its creator because they are connected. But at first, the creator has to get lost in it. It always starts like that, and it should, because that's the only way. A creator is not a creator if it doesn't get lost in its creation. So I'm not judging. ?

@Thought Art Deep down, you know what's right for yourself, and eventually you will know what to do. You just have to go through it, whatever it may be. For example, be pessimistic for a while. Just understand yourself as deeply as you can. This is not an easy thing to say because, like you, I have my own problems to work on. But I see it as an adventure, however much suffering or horror I may experience.

@Hojo Let us disagree by respecting each other's experiences.

@Hojo I disagree with you.

It's amazing that you can create a voice without talking ?. If God creates it, then God should be responsible for it. Not only reading but also talking helps to develop that. Why wouldn't I like it? If it turns against you, notice that and change it. If you can't, then reach out for help. But I would suggest going through it and experiencing it, which is true madness. But it's not limited to that. You can't imagine how much you can improve your education by using your "voice". It's a blessing, I would say. You can use it for entertainment, artistic reasons, etc.

@Hojo I learned to like reading. As a kid, I despised books, especially religious ones.

Ahh. Now I get what you're saying.

What? ?

I don't really need podcasts. I learn from others, but I trust myself more. In the end, it's me who discovers what is true or false by thinking through about something. When I'm alone, especially as a kid, I can imagine a whole universe and experience every perspective as I'm creating the universe. I'm not joking; I'm really hyper-imaginative. It's way more fun. You wouldn't get bored.

It happens differently for different people. I know it from my experience ?. Maybe you are special in that you can do it for a long time without being affected. No worries, I understand. You are special to me.

Not just you, but everyone. It comes to a point where staying active on the forum degrades your mind. It's so subtle that you won't notice how it's happening. So, be careful.

@Hojo What they mean by God is the creator of their fantasies about reality. By believing in God, they accept what they have been told instead of what exists outside of their beliefs. They can't accept that they are living in fantasies, but, interestingly, they think others do. They believe making everything overly simple is a good thing, which makes their fantasies more ugly. When it works, they pay a huge price for that and are happy about it. They can't handle the complexities of life.

@Hojo because spiritual/religious people are not honest about what they do not know, but they would gladly prove otherwise. They believe they have authority over their minds, but they forget that they have sold it to their beloved religion. They can't help but delude themselves.

The AI generated that image using my actual face. Love you back.

This post will transform actualized.org into a face-worshipping cult. ?

Some people don't have the luxury of spending time on a forum to write about their problems. You're lucky in that aspect. Before making everything a problem, make sure you're skeptical at first. Sometimes the problem is with you. I know that it's difficult, but you can see the problems without always being negative.

Imo, a guru is worth following if he or she at least cares about self-awareness, doesn't mind whether he or she is seen as spiritual or not, teaches you to do spirituality alone, and is philosophically minded. I think that she has discovered some stuff, but she is not an authentic teacher and doesn't really care about the workings of her mind. Most spiritual gurus or people (online and offline) give off the vibe of spirituality. When you start to really contemplate, you see how delusional and deceptive they are. I haven't found truly deep philosophical and spiritual stuff yet other than Leo's teachings.
