Yeah, don't mess with fundamentalist Muslims, no fear of death there.

That’s why we have to mess with them. We can’t be bullied by psychopaths.

I don't know bro, if a psycho don't want me to draw a picture of his God, why be a dick and draw a picture of his God ?

Meet people where they at.

What did the Chinese know.   What about Abraham?  If you want to go back to the old testament we treck very holy grounds. The Jews are the Chosen Ones after all.  

Is that why Jews have historically had some detractors. You guys went around telling everyone that you The Chosen Ones   Jokes aside, them Kabbalah dudes do seem to have some insider knowledge.

Probably a lot of stories were made up. But sainthood is a real possibility. And if you have a true saint, there is no reason why not some of it can resonate through history. And I just believe in psychic shit, call me New Age or whatever, call me damaged goods from being in a cult near a decade ago. But connecting to a saint from long times past does not seem like an unreasonable possibility. But of course you can go bonkers with it too, but that's on you.

That's a reasonable take in principle. Psychic abilities are possible but I'm not sure that connecting with a long-dead person you barely know anything about falls into that category - unless, perhaps, you're taking creative liberties with that, or are being metaphorical.

Also, calling it "sainthood" already invites too much fantastical thinking.

I haven't investigated this topic deeply, but what comes to mind are a powerful intuition and seemingly magical feeling-states - like sensing someone's intentions before they act. Still, these would have to be grounded in something real, such as abnormally high sensitivity or awareness, rather than mere wishful thinking. Obviously, it's not about guessing the winning lottery numbers.

It's already difficult to discern what's a purely subjective experience and what's grounded in reality. Throw in the drugs, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

I'm not religious, but I have no problem with Jesus having existed as a regular dude on planet earth.

Great. My intention with that was to ground the discussion a bit.

Honestly the notion of being chosen ones is so cringe. Like ingrained narcissism.

 

But what about Abraham? The three Abrahamic religions are named after him after all. Was he a good bloke? Was he nice or a fat guy? I‘ve never been religious.

Do not be attached to the names. Let go all beliefs.

The real religion is not a worshipping or believing, it is burning that person alive.

I don't know about Abraham, but it does seem though that the Jews have been granted some proper insider knowledge, ie Kabbalah etc.

The real question is, why isn't Leo being revealed?

What’s so great about the Kabbalah?

It's a whole spiritual science, didn't resonate with me, but I've met some older guys who have studied it, and they were proper switched on.

[Wilhelm44]

It's the mystical version of Judaism, like Sufism is of Islam, and Christ consciousness is of Christianity.

But Jesus was a Jew so doesn't that mean he had the inside knowledge as well?

I mean i have one and read most of it but it’s not that great imo. For example Baghavad Gita or Jim Newman are nicer imo.
