  1. ... imagine a ladder on the ground reaching up, up, up into the clouds. I don't need to know how tall the ladder is to understand that the ladder is "tall". It's like that
  2. It can't be known. But it can be understood through abstraction.
  3. Pain and pleasure can be accurately evaluated. Millions and millions of years of choosing pleasure instead of pain is "life". Lacking accurate evalutation of pain and pleasure, "life" can not persist.
  4. It's choosing to act in solidarity with other Muslims past present and future. The choosing creates a metaphorical vessel in the heart-and-mind which is congruent and connected with other Muslim hearts-and-minds.
  5. question: "where the fuck was your experiences, ideas, beliefs before physical birth?" answer: "on a time line of events within the realm of infinite possibilites" reaction: "Hi mind. You create a victim and trolling again 😊 mr. Ziran, it is lying to you. Do not trust it 😊" ‐------------‐------------------------- Please? What are the reasons for the reaction?
  6. Is this God lacking? How do you know? Please elaborate? the domains intersect at the border, in the same way, each omniverse at the very least meets its neighbors at the border of "what-it-isn't".
  7. in the moment, listen for resonance, harmony, and discord
  8. on a time line of events within the realm of infinite possibilites
  9. Lacking a creator is a limit. In the absence of limits, there's always creating and more.
  10. ... the righteous fall 7 times ... and rise - Proverbs
  11. Or, if God is Love, it's like saying, "I love." Period. What if they're manifestations of the same loving compassionate god? Noted OK I know how to disappear. ~poof~
  12. Not without compromising free-will If "His will" has decreed free-will, then, Allah would be acting as a guide. Quran 26:62 قَالَ كَلَّاۤۖ إِنَّ مَعِیَ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ [The Prophet] said, "Nay, indeed, with me (is) my Lord, He will guide me." ... surpasses human understanding ... That's one way of reading it. Here, those who are refusing to change are not considered innocent. They're guilty. أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ - "Is Allah not the most just of judges?" Quran 95:8 Each of the middle eastern countries have their own cultural norms. For example, the prevailing attitude among Egyptians is different when compared to the UAE. For detailed analysis IMPACT-SE ( dot org ) has been comparing the textbooks in the region.
  13. Before I get too deep, can you relate to the notion of "awakening" to a realization of "simultaneity" on a grand scale? So grand that it becomes non-dual?
  14. Realizing simultaneity reveals both the underlying correspondences and the over arching principles which contribute past, present, and possible-future events. In other words, it cultivates a sharp intellect, like a whip.
  15. My contribution: 1) Intentional breathing: Observing the breath on its circuit. The breath follows the mind; the heart follows the breath. 2) Intentional perception: For the past 20+ years I practice intentionally "watching the world through a wide lens", for lack of better words. It's intentionally including the full extent of periphery eye-sight while walking and doing daily activities. 3) Rapid trance state: in the heat of the moment, if needed, a rapid trance state can be achieved within 2 or 3 breaths by closing the eyes and observing and probing deeper and deeper into the red, yellow, orange, and green little dots that naturally appear. ( the colors vary depending on circumstance ).
  16. The best way? The best way is if it's her idea. ... kiss the girl, then draw back. Look in her eyes. Soften yours. Then kiss her again. Repeat. The idea is, if the kissing is good then she'll wonder what else you're good at. Find one. Take her places that have opportunities to steal a little kiss. Then another. Nah. Creepy. You'll figure this out without asking directly. There are websites for that... Happy trails
  17. O Me! O Life! By Walt Whitman - "Leaves of Grass" (1892) Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring, Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish, Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d, Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me, Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined, The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here—that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
  18. In general, if the interest is deferred the debt can be ignored for now. If not, the interest rate determines if and when to start chipping away at the debt. The last item on your list was a conscious-job. You currently have a job. Any glimmers there?
