Nay

But the majority of mainstream Muslims are either ignorant of this or in denial about it. A mainstream Muslims will deny that he is Allah. This is very easy to test. Of course I do. It's an excellent resource overall. Of course it's one of a thousand other sources I use.

Because you aren't aware that you are me. You are implicitly assuming that there is a you and a me (these two beings). But there isn't. And you don't understand that yet. You acknowledge the possibility that you and I are one, but you are only doing this at the level of concept. You aren't doing it actually. If you did it actually you would experience a death of yourself. Enlightenment at the level of concept is not enlightenment, it is theory. You must go from theory to actuality. Come to a point where there is actually no difference between me and you. Not in theory, but ACTUALLY! This requires a change in your state of consciousness. You cannot do it through thinking.

I wouldn't think of kundalini complications as being dark. It's just various sorts of energetic unlocking & processing. An energetic block doesn't have to be dark to be uncomfortable, frustrating, or troubling. So you can practice being loving, but an energetic upheaval can still get ya. Then again, for some people there might be a dark aspect to kundalini. There's a lot of variety to how these things can unfold. Some people report experiencing demons and other weird stuff. Personally that's foreign to my experiences but I think it's possible for some. I've never had a demonic experience in 70+ trips. I'm not sure what causes it. I guess demons don't like me

This is false. You can have direct experience of and genuine insight into the nature of death, afterlife, and pre-life. Of course people concoct all sorts of theories, but there are also some people who actually know through direct experience and mystical insight.

@CreamCat Self-deception is the currency of the human mind and of the collective species mind.

Cancer of the mind. Notice that people who hold these ideologies have almost no historical understanding of how government works, nor do they have any understanding of human psychology. It's simply ignorance, naivete, and arrogance rolled into one. You'll notice that no country in the history of the Earth has ever been libertarian or anarchist. Because it doesn't work to meet the needs of the people, so it would never be tolerated. You'd have to be a fool to even begin implementing it because you would quickly be kicked out or killed. Try to imagine a libertarian or anarchist going to Russia or China and promoting their agenda. LOL

It's actual Paradise. If you only knew, it would kill you. You have to appreciate that since the devil has co-opted your mind, what you find desirable is precisely the opposite of Paradise. Why are you so gullible as to trust your desires? Haven't you realized yet that desire is how the devil manipulates you? You gonna keep allowing the devil to make a cuck out of you? Remember, Truth is an acquired taste. To a devil, Truth tastes bitter.

Stop talking and actually go do it and see. It's as if people are telling you about this wonderful land called Australia and you are sitting there at your keyboard asking questions about how anyone could possibly know Australia is real. GO THERE AND FIND OUT! If it's bogus, you'll discover that once you get there.

Your mistake is sitting there thinking about all this with your mind. Instead, you must do the practices. All your rationalizing is just a waste of time. You will never figure it out that way. If you want to get somewhere, go do psychedelics, or Kriya yoga, or mindfulness meditation. Do it seriously and rigorously, like it's the most important pursuit in your life, more important than money, sex, entertainment, or comfort. You cannot understand the things I teach without doing serious practices. It's just that simple. Do, or do not. Speculation and theorizing will get you nowhere. Common sense should tell you that there must be a heavy, heavy cost to awakening, otherwise everyone would be awake.

Dude, stop talking nonsense. You don't know what mind, being, or infinity are. Mind is finite.

Self/other is a duality. You are imagining all beings, including yourself. Living beings have no reality whatsoever. This includes you. When this is realized, you will be totally alone in the universe. No one can help you, no one can tell you whether you've gone insane. No one can comfort you. Other than yourself. At this point the notion of reality entirely collapses. You are no long able to distinguish what is real or unreal because there is no difference. Your entire life collapses into oblivion and you find yourself dead yet still somehow conscious.

LOL There is no difference between sanity and insanity, real and unreal. You know by doing the work. Your attitude inappropriate for this work. You lack seriousness.

@How to be wise Just NO.

@ahmad ibdah No dividing. Sit down and do the whole routine. This is not kindergraten. This is a serious spiritual discipline. So stop dicking around. You have to treat this seriously, like it's the most important thing in your life.

The point is understanding how the human mind works. Changing Evangelicals is not the point.

LOL Yeah, that's Blue! Consciousness of the Holy Spirit is WAY beyond what most Blue religious people ever experience. Blue religion is purely ideological for the most part. It is a set of beliefs.

Here's something to jog your mind:

I don't see evidence for that. The structure of their worldview and cognition is Blue, even if they start a business and earn some money. Orange is more secular than religious.

@CreamCat What does this have to do with anything??

Devil is a technical term in my body of work. You have to understand what it means. It is not a demonization. Ironic as that is. A devil is one who acts out of blind selfishness and refuses to admit it. A devil is one who rejects that he is God.

I stand corrected in that Rumi did not found Sufism itself but he founded the Mevlevi order and the famous whirling dervishes meditation dance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mevlevi_Order Rumi did a lot to popularize Sufism.

It's a powerful kundalini activator for some people. The energy it activates can get stuck in various ways and lead to all sorts of spiritual emergencies. Not to mention that any kind of technique which rapidly builds up mindfulness and elevates consciousness can cause people to freak out. The ego-mind tends to resist such efforts in many different kinds of sneaky ways. It can trigger sleepless, anxiety, anger, restlessness, tension, cravings, visions, hallucinations, paranormal phenomena, etc. You should read up on the dangers of activating kundalini before you start yoga. I have some books on my book list about it. You don't want to be caught unawares. Basically all the stuff I talked about in my The Dark Side Of Meditation video, but even worse. To be clear, it's not guaranteed that bad stuff will happen. It's just a possibility. It also depends on how deep you go with it. If it takes you all the way to enlightenment you can certainly expect all the freakiness that comes with awakening, including the Dark Night of The Soul. Awakening is not all rainbows and daffodils. Some egos have serious freak outs.

Rumi was a one in a billion enlightened master. And he started his own sect: Sufism, which most mainstream Muslims reject.

You guys really need to educate yourself about social history. You can't seriously discuss political issues without understanding the historical context.
