@LSD-Rumi an answer to the original question... i think god as an infinite entity does not intervene . i mean ,supernatural stories as such of Moses are found in almost every religious tradition... there are stories of buddha doing miracles and teleporting to different planes and places in an instant. XD... normal ordinary folks like me, in a finite form and a finite consciousness could never do that . but when one awakens to the god consciousness, one might have that power to intervene with natural forces. this is rather my conceptual understanding so far...

you are not kidding are ya? it takes a big leap of faith to accept it. i mean if u are really saying the truth, then u might be one of the most awakened or diffeent ppl on this forum.

@Iesu i don't think so...lol. doesn't even come to the level of Deepak Chopra..

how do u kw?

i honestly am lost in here tooo...would love to see the replies from the fellow members in the end, we all are gonna die! so nothing matters right... ? maybe both Diogenes and Alexander the great were wrong... who knows. it's all beliefs.....

@charlie cho you are still stuck to the religious dogmatic notion of god IMO. you see god as a separate entity that is in the sky judging everyone.THAT IS WHERE YOUR resentment comes from. If you continue down the rabbit hole, you will notice the same exact thing that most of the members are pointing towards. GOD a.k.a. consciousness is all that exists. god needs nobody to respect because there is nobody and nothing else to respect god. it is you and everyone and everything. this truth is not to be taken as another belief in itself. you must experience and see it for yourself. YOU ARE GOD! so god has no judgements. no biases. god is both the oppressor and the oppressed. soo, i would humbly ask you to continue down spirituality and seek the truth for yourself. if you like ,start with the books like from that of Eckhart Tolle...that would be a good starting point! much love!

@ImHooper hello, sorry about the tragic loss... all you can do right now is to, try your best to comfort her family and loved ones. it might be hard for u too right now. nobody claims to know what exactly death brings. maybe she reincarnates in a form which she's aligned with, or maybe she dissolves in to the absolute(merge with god). on a relative sense, she did exist and she no longer exist in this world. !(that we all know for sure) in a higher perspective of nonduality, she never existed and always existed. it's both. neither do we exist . its both nothing and everything. I believe you can get through this, as everything "this too shall pass" much love!

hey, don't believe everything that they say without looking in to several sources and conforming for yourself... even the most enlightened beings give bullshit remarks. psychiatric drugs do help a lot if u are open to it. IMHO, it seems like a nocebo effect. be gentle with yourself. even I've been suicidal and I know it is fcking hard right now. but, don't ya give up! there is light at the end of the tunnel. be gentle with yourself. much love!

hmmm, it is important to realize that this is normal. when you question the most grounded beliefs, its gonna feel like LOST and wild. I've been through the same shit and and you might be feeling like you are losing ground. you will even question your own existence and sanity;all accepted norms and concepts . but, don't fall in to the trap of nihilism tho. also, don't fight and suppress your thoughts. let them come. observe them and scrutinize where they are coming from .other thing is, see a therapist if you are feeling depressed . IMO, this is a normal thing that happens to a lot of ppl. but once your belief system is crashed, it is not easy to get things back. I wish you will keep up the work and see the light at the end of the tunnel! cheers!

@Nadosa you have been identifying yourself through that notion. it will really feel like death if you attach yourself and cling to that belief. it won't be easy to let go of a thought spiral that you've been repeating for a long time since it will be latched onto your self image-Ego. you will even feel like you are going insane when this egoic self is attacked. best way as many recommend, inquire into those thoughts and see if they are true for urself. question them. be skeptical about them . meditate on them. at a moment, they will lose control over you and give in. ??

so don't you worry ... keep up the amazing work bro

@Endangered-EGO we signed up for this mate. I guess there is no way back after taking the red pill. if one way doesn't work for ya, why not try others? there are dozens of techniques out there... I know it is hard out there. hang in there mate. one way another the thing what you are persistently seeking will come to you. ofc, every fcking thing is suffering.! yet, all suffering is also love. if u feel tired of this shit, i would recommend taking a break . go to nature, mingle with friends ,meet family.

@DManKee ohh babyyy... lol...he is quite new agey IMHO and falls into the same category in which teal swan falls into.. not at all spiritually advanced but in the transition phase towards hardcore stuff. i think he will fall in with ppl who are sooo enthusiastic about LOA and teachers like Ester Hicks.

haha....gotcha

i have encountered the same prob... @LearningPodo go for therapy broo! godspeed

will do bro

@B_HAZ it's ok to feel down.. everyone does. this is not the end of the story, rather a beginning.. take time , waste time and 3 days won't certainly be enough to heal all of ur past. , despite it all , life itself is the greatest miracle of all .... take a break and keep going. look for a therapy. be grateful in the end, you will be grateful for all the difficult times you had . much love!???

agreed...100%

agreed... democracy has its own limits. civilization is always keen on collective survival ,individualism is always hindered upon collective betterment. if a mandate is required to protect the majority of lives, then that's worth the democracy. our will is always limited by the goodwill of the society as a whole? Even Socrates was having doubts with democracy they introduced. remember, it was this democracy that made him put on death trial..

intrusive thoughts huh?.... @JoshuaBell just seeing sharp knives ,nails , razors , and even pens triggers the FUCKING thought loop ..in my case, I was constantly in fear of snakes and checked under my bed multiple times to verify my safety... I was afraid that I might hurt myself or others with those fucking sharp things?I literally spent my entire day on bed tryna get this shit outta my mind. I guess the most painful part is to get them against your most loved ones. this is the best advice I could give....? hide all knives if you can. try CBT(cognitive behavioral therapy) ,rush to a psychiatrist, counsellor or a good therapist. and they will definitely prescribe some antidepressant like Prodep or Sertraline.. take it! try meditating- this calm you down I would strongly recommend to seek immediate medical advice ! @JoshuaBell within several months of meds , you will be having the controls back . I can promise YOU THAT THIS IS NOT GONNA LAST FOREVER... much love??

wow.. that's some serious facts dude....even I am at a point considering some programming courses with the huge hype around it... you know, everything is computers nowadays. btw bro, what are your best picks for programming?

@28 cm unbuffedayeee broo...you are on the right path.... you know about programming and have a knowledge on it Right? so use it as a side hustle as you build on your passion. programing is one of the highest paying trending jobs on the market and you will easily find many flexible freelance work. my advice will be to still give a go for it if you really don't hate it that much.. just consider it as a wage slave job. then gradually let go of it as you build on your passion or your YT channel ...?? all the good luck brooo....

oh wow...that's a real something to consider ...so you seem to be basically swinging the pendulum towards Determinism ... yup! many factors indeed.. though I would say we have 0 will in an absolute sense, I personally believe we got a limited free will in the relative sense

true true.... it is like the "The Joker 2019 " though inside the city of Gotham, it is an astounding depiction of such personalities... if I were born in to his circumstances, my actions wouldn't be much different....yet , we got at least some amount of free will to transcend the things that happen to us. we still got the will to choose our REACTION.

there is i guess I don’t have it neh.is there a actualized app or something? @Ineedanswers use the send message option after you go to my profile....no need of another apps...? I have already inboxed you and go check your msgs brooo..... the top right icon next to the bell icon is the private msg icon mchn....?
