Yes, but fundamentally it's about the belief of being with chosen or awakened people who are protected by Jesus and God that will take them to heaven after death. Many Christians are seriously looking for God in church. I'm not kidding. Of course, if they were serious enough, they would question themselves and stop being a Christian for once.

I agree with you, but Christians would not. What do you think is the ultimate goal for Christians when they are attending church?

The test was wild. I think my results are pretty accurate.

And Christians wouldn't get you, which is the problem. Also, those things you listed don't have to belong to Christianity. From my perspective, understanding the religion called Christianity requires understanding what Christians believe in and how they behave. Reinterpreting the Bible is inevitable, and I think it could be helpful for Christians to train their open-mindedness. But reading the Bible wouldn't get you close to awakening.

@Nilsi, what I meant is that one's interpretation of Christianity is worthless and useless if he/she doesn't include Christians in order to understand how it's manifested in real life. If you don't, then you are deluded. I'm not talking about understanding some truth that may be in the Bible, which is also highly questionable. Well, I don't think LGBT people were easily accepted. They still filter that from a religious worldview.

They are truly despicable.

To really understand Christianity, observe Christians. That's it.

@OBEler, that movie was somewhat traumatic for me as a child, but in a positive way.

No. They actually worship Jesus, although it's manifested in different ways. They see God as some human-like entity that somehow created the universe with some cheap tricks plus the whole Adam and Eve story.

@Leo Gura, don't worry. It is appreciated, although I think you care less about what I think about it.

Because Christians are sneaky bastards. They demonize and hate non-Christian stuff without thinking and also without questioning themselves. They are such closed-minded people. All of their "spiritual" talk serve for their primitive survival. Seriously, they don't even know what awakening entails.

@Leo Gura, ok. What are your recent changes mainly based on? Awakenings, deconstructions, contemplations, reading books, doing some practices, etc.?

Do you mean helping them while recognizing the sovereignty of their minds?

You are the explainer, and we are generally the listeners. Don't you think that, as you have mentioned that you have been studying for years, you understand those things from a different angle than your listeners? What are your expectations of your listeners?

My example was basically was about that. However, space is generally thought of as the observable area.

Let's say space is the breathable air for humans. Space, which is the air, will still be divisible, even though that air will consist of parts not labeled as such. However, when we say space, we generally mean the area that we are observing.

@Breakingthewall, what else would it be? If space is the observable, then space would remain as it is; however, new, smaller stuff would be found out. It also depends on how "space" is defined.

@Breakingthewall, it must be divisible; otherwise, unity wouldn't be possible, which is impossible. The smallest particle doesn't exist because a thing—in this case, a particle—must be a unity of different parts.

@Carl-Richard, it's ironic.

@Leo Gura, you should make a video titled "What Is a Good Joke?"

@Leo Gura, thanks for answering. Noted. I barely listen to anyone nowadays.

When do you think a person is capable of awakening to something through contemplation? After a few awakenings without contemplation? Are there only logical structures or more to be comprehended?

@Leo Gura, in your experience, would you say that awakenings happen because your changed state pushes you to realize something without your will? For you, how do awakening and contemplation affect each other? Which one actually depends on the other?

In a way, you have to marry her parents and brothers first in those countries. 😁

Makes sense. I have to understand my situation better. Yeah, I also think that there will be things that would oppose pursuing that, at least for me. I'm not even a fan of chasing money or the thought of being some popular or famous person. Not even a typical leader. I have tasted the forbidden fruit. So it has become way harder to not think of awakening. Mmmm... It seems spacing my goals is the smartest approach for me. I need to reevaluate and self-reflect.
