  1. From my Arabic background: Shirk literally means sharing; Believing in other Gods next to Allah. Kofr literally means cover, and a kaffir is someone who covers the truth, and does not believe in Allah. Kofr is the rejection of the fact that God exists. The day of judgement also mentioned as the day of Truth, the day of religion, the hour (zero-hour), the day of resurrection; is the last day of this realm according to the Qur'an. It happens suddenly, causing great horror to every creature on earth. Believing in the day of judgement is essential to being a true Muslim. I don't have any non-dual interpretations to share. And I think it can be literal. But anyways, don't you see the motivation? There's nothing more painful to avoid than eternal hellfire, and there's nothing more blissful to want than eternal peace in eternal paradise. ?
  2. The Azan is saying: "Allah is greater. (x4) I witness that there's no other God but Allah. (x2) I witness that Mohammad is the prophet of Allah. (x2) Come on to prayer. (x2) Come on to true success. (x2) Allah is greater. (x2) There's no other God but Allah." ... All the problems you mentioned with Islam don't really stem from the original version (except for the humor thing). Sufism is the most spiritual cult of Islam. It focuses on the relationship between human and Allah, knowing that we are part of the whole. Still, there are many false beliefs that they have, for example, children are not supposed to be punished for their innocent crimes. That's the original version of Islam. Same thing goes for females vs. males, they are not equal, that's true, but everyone must be treated with justice according to the Qur'an. Unfortunately, these new versions of religion are always corrupted. Therefore, you will have to do the research.
  3. Of course he can't. He probably means that he knows everything he ever wanted to know, everything that matters to him he is knowledgeable of. For him there are no more questions. He knew everything back then, he could give you the answers. After all, it doesn't matter.
  4. www.actualized.org/forum/topic/18430-noob-question Here you might find your answer.
  5. "All beliefs are false" Isn't that a belief? This means that some beliefs can be true. Am I right?
  6. Lucky you! Hopefully I will experience that someday.. And yes you can re-experience it through psychedelics. Check Leo's videos, I think there will be a lot of valuable information for you after you realized the Truth.
  7. I honestly don't know. I'm still living an ordinary life, nothing special happened yet.
  8. I agree, but what I'm saying is that beliefs are not totally bad. We need beliefs to communicate, build, exercise, etc.. You just can't be here if you don't have any beliefs. I understand, I'm the consciousness that's conscious of this very moment, given the fact that on psychedelics my consciousness will change, which means nothing really exists. Does that mean also that I need to experience change in my consciousness to understand? Because I understand everything theoretically but I honestly don't feel anything special about it.
  9. So this is the meal that's not on the menu? Still, beliefs are not false necessarily, I prefer treating them as irrelevant from Truth. Otherwise you shouldn't be here using your PC or whatever to tell me about it. You're here because you believe in something (it might be about me or about you or anyone else). ?
  10. It actually makes perfect sense to me. Like when you play video games, what's loading on the screen plus the sounds (what's loaded on the RAM) are what's -you could say- real in the game. But I don't feel any different, life is magical, it always felt that way to me. Nevertheless, I'm glad to see the true nature of existence.
  11. Oh my God, this is very profound. And thus I have to become enlightened. Thank you so much ?
  12. Why dropping all beliefs? Are they all bad? I get your point, but again isn't that a belief too? Or just me doing mental masturbation? This is what makes the world a meaningless place. It is what it is, utterly meaningless. It's cool btw, confusing too. @Joseph Maynor Thanks for the pic and the vids, I'll watch them later.
  13. I encountered many "sleep paralysis" attacks throughout my life. Last time I had one, I completely surrendered and said 'I can do nothing about it, so why fight it, accept it.' Fortunately, I never had them anymore since then. My question is; was that ego death?
  14. Everything you want Is on the other side of fear ??
  15. @Shin Maybe your ego wants to develop more ego. This is homeostasis trying to pull you back probably. I suggest you stop listening to feelings. Just keep seeking the Truth no matter what. Best of luck. ?
  16. How do you know that reality is the whole? What if there's someone aka God not ruled by the laws of reality, not needing to be inside of it and Who also created this reality. Why are you treating God like other material things? After all, God is, by definition, beyond mind, science, logic, experience, etc.. If He can't be then He isn't God. God is infinitely infinite, nor the mind neither "direct experience" can grasp the absolute infinity.
  17. Sorry I'm not arguing for religion here. I was just asking some authentic questions.
  18. Actually there's another possibility that I don't know if we can verify, which is that God can't be accessed or experienced by any means. This means that everything in reality including "Consciousness" is a creature created by God, and God is someone else that we can't reach. What if this reality was the devil? And non-duality was in fact a way to connect with the devil deceiving us that he's God? The fact that we can't know anything for sure suggests strongly that we need a guidance. Which will be definitely some prophet sent by God Himself. What if there are no other teachings that we can trust? What if physical death is the only way to reach God? Where was your consciousness before it habits your body? What if it will keep its memories after you die? What if everything is really an exam? What if religion is true? Non-duality doesn't answer these metaphysical questions: "How do you know if you're experiencing God or someone else?" "What about before birth and after death?" "Will consciousness stay after we die?" Non-duality only cares about the "NOW" which is not the same as religions do. I don't know if what I said was related to your post. But these questions always give me insomnia. P.S. I don't know if these questions are valid.
  19. @egoless I'm by no means more experienced than you are but I think this might help. If you ever ask a preacher or a religion man: If God created everything then who created God? They will answer you simply that this logic doesn't apply here because it's like asking: "Who cooked the cook?" I think it's quite normal to question everything, but also we should know the limits of logic. Though the question here is not valid, you should find out for yourself. All the best ?
  20. Dude, just chill and check your grammar. No, I don't comprehend you. Actually I have no clue about what you said.
  21. @egoless Of course, that's why I ask myself after meditating. Thanks again ?
  22. Alright. I've been meditating for a while, and also trying to get to enlightenment. My problem is that it doesn't click. Conceptually: I understand that I'm not my mind, nor my thoughts. I understand that I have no clue about me, nor about reality. I understand that I'm not the brain, nor the body. I am the observer of the observation aka consciousness. So what am I and who am I? I still think of the answer conceptually, it doesn't work. And in fact it's quite annoying that oneday I felt like I was about to get hit by the truth, it felt overwhelming, came from every corner, was about to hit me, then all of sudden disappeared and left me wandering. What have I missed that day? And what am I missing all the way? Please help.
