Someone here

I became directly conscious of one aspect of God. I had the realization before that God is peace, which I have talked about earlier, but yesterday I experienced directly another facet of God. It is something that can be described by many names: absolute existence, ultimate power, ultimate magnificence, ultimate glory, and might. All of these aspects became directly clear in my mind recently, not merely as philosophical concepts or ideas that I had intellectually understood, but as something I had directly experienced and glimpsed for myself. Previously, I had glimpsed the peace of God through meditation. it was a glimpse of a profound peace that seemed to transcend the usual fluctuations of the mind and the changing circumstances of life. Through meditation I recognized that peace is not merely something the mind experiences under favorable conditions like chilling on the beach drinking grape juice…but rather it is something much more fundamental to reality itself. It is literally inside my being . Like literally inside my physical body .I had come to understand God as peace through this experience, although I knew that my understanding was still incomplete. Yesterday, however, I experienced something different through a “religious experience “I glimpsed another dimension of the divine. I experienced ecstasy, glory, absoluteness, magnificence, and overwhelming power. It was as though another aspect of God had become directly apparent to my consciousness. Whereas my previous glimpse had been primarily associated with peace, this experience revealed something that could be described as the absolute greatness and majesty of existence itself. And this has a terrifying flavor to it rather than peaceful or quiet. It is also GOOD. It is so good that it is terrifying. It is so good You want to run away from it because of how good it is lol . These two experiences have made me realize that God cannot be reduced to a single attribute or description. We may call God peace, but peace might be only one aspect of the divine reality. We may also speak of God as absolute existence, infinite power, ultimate glory, magnificence, or the very ground of being. And actually god is all names . But some of them hit closer . The important distinction for me is that I am no longer considering these ideas exclusively at the level of intellectual understanding. I have had glimpses of what I interpret as different aspects of God through direct experience. Although these glimpses were brief and my understanding remains incomplete, they have had a profound effect on my conviction regarding the existence of God. I am beginning to understand that there is a significant difference between believing in God because of philosophical reasoning and knowing God through direct experience. This brings me to the question of atheism and the limits of philosophical arguments for the existence of God. I do not think that atheists can be convinced of the existence of God by philosophical arguments alone, such as the intelligent design argument, the fine tuning argument, or the ontological argument. These arguments do provide rational grounds for believing in God, and I believe they point toward the existence of a divine reality. However, philosophical arguments and direct experience operate at different levels. An argument can lead someone to consider the possibility that God exists, but it cannot necessarily produce the direct realization of God in that person’s consciousness. Someone can study arguments for God’s existence, understand their logical structure, and even acknowledge that they have considerable philosophical force without undergoing any corresponding spiritual transformation. A person may understand the concept of peace without ever experiencing profound inner peace. Similarly, someone may understand the arguments for the existence of God without ever having a direct experience of what they interpret as the divine. When you have glimpsed God directly, however, the question takes on a completely different significance. God is no longer a philosophical proposition to be debated. The question becomes grounded in something that you have personally experienced. I say that I know with 100% certainty that God exists, I am referring to the conviction that arose from these experiences. Before these glimpses, I could think about God, contemplate philosophical arguments, and explore different religious and spiritual traditions. But after experiencing what I interpret as the peace, ecstasy, glory, absoluteness, and magnificence of God, my conviction became much more immediate and personal. I am not claiming that I have completely understood God or that I have attained the highest possible spiritual realization. In fact, I would say the opposite: what I have experienced so far has been only a glimpse. I have touched something that seems profoundly significant, but I have not yet fully understood its nature, its implications . But the threshold I passed is I am no longer approaching the question of God solely through speculation or philosophical argument. I now have personal experiences that I can contemplate, investigate, and attempt to understand more deeply. My task is to refine my understanding, and discover more . The next major challenge for me is to reconcile these experiences of God with Advaita Vedanta. Advaita Vedanta teaches that ultimate reality is Brahman, the nondual absolute, and that the deepest truth of the individual self, the Atman, is not separate from Brahman. The apparent separation between the individual self and ultimate reality or the self of all of existence is ultimately overcomed through The realization of nonduality . It reveals that reality is not fundamentally divided into two independent existences: a separate individual self on one side and an ultimate reality on the other…Yet my experiences have also presented God to me as peace, glory, absolute existence, ultimate power, and magnificence. I want to understand Does the divine appear to consciousness through different aspects, while its ultimate nature remains beyond all descriptions? Can the personal God and the impersonal absolute be understood as different ways of approaching the same ultimate reality? And if so, how precisely does Advaita Vedanta explain this relationship? Above all, I want to understand how these glimpses of God fit into the larger question of existence and consciousness. Is the peace of God inseparable from the glory of God? Is the personal experience of divine magnificence ultimately reconciled with the nondual realization of Brahman? And can the direct experience of God lead to a deeper understanding of the truth that Advaita Vedanta attempts to express? These are the questions I want to pursue from this point onward.

“Look at your hands . Look at that hand !” 😂

that’s debatable. It can be a destructive habit if you’re addicted and doing it compulsively. That’s a separate issue. The point is that semen retention in and of itself has no spiritual value.

There are no spiritual powers to semen retention. I understand that it could make you more motivated because you are supercharged with hormones but that’s as far as it goes . For me personally, if I don’t masturbate twice a month I become very moody and aggressive and low tempered .

What’s the point of doing semen retention for a whole year? Like, what exactly are you trying to achieve here? If you have a girlfriend with whom you have sex, you obviously want to enjoy the experience and reach ejaculation sometimes, rather than always practising tantric sex or full-body orgasms without actually ejaculating. If you want to have kids, that’s another thing. But what’s the point of retaining your semen for years on end? Sexual health and wellbeing are important too. prolonged abstinence can lead to sexual frustration or obsessive sexual thoughts, making it harder to concentrate. So, what exactly are you hoping to achieve through long-term semen retention?

Yes .“Awareness of itself “ is what’s being investigated. And I say we should define , or know what exactly is awareness of our self and environment. awareness can be defined as perception.Where there is a subject and object and a process of perception going on . Or it can be defined as being itself without a duality between perceived and perceiver. Nondual teaching sides with the second definition. Materialism sides with the first one .

When discussing this topic , I don’t understand how could the body-mind problem or understanding the nature of consciousness existentially be put on hold . It’s essential to this question. It’s the whole key to this question.

“Brahma-Charya” literally translates as “the road towards Brahma (God). It also means celibacy or sexual abstinence as a life style choice because Ancient Hindu monks believed there is a spiritual benefit in retaining your semen . And that is true in a sense . But If you are not determined to be celibate for the rest of your life then don’t do it . It’s completely unrealistic . If you don’t have sex with an actual person for a long time , then there is no escaping either self-pleasure or nocturnal emissions.

To answer this question,You first have to know exactly what is a subjective experience.

A woman is literally created to be worshipped by a man .

So what’s your situation now? How serious it is ? Are you going to get chemotherapy? Etc

Where did I say any of that ? I distinctively said it’s emotionally difficult. Religion targets the emotional part of your brain, not just the rational. You get brainwashed with religious beliefs as soon as you start to have some basic intelligence to understand, very early in childhood while your brain is still fresh like a sponge and very prone to absorb brainwashing. because as you’ve suggested, you can show a religious person proofs of the Big Bang and how there is no scientific evidence for the existence of any gods or supernatural entities,and how Darwinian Evolution debunked the biblical story of creationism etc ..yet there are still billions of Christians and Muslims in the world today who are diehard believers. And a huge chunk of them are actually aware of the problems with their religion because this is the age of easy and available information.Yet they can’t let it go just like that . It has become part of their identity.

My nephew is 6 years old . He asked us where is god and they told him in the sky and he believed it . Do children at this age even have critical thinking? They can barely say a sentence.

It’s not because they are stupid. It’s because it’s emotionally difficult to exit a religion after believing it for decades.

It’s really simple . Religion is a form of spirituality, but outdated because most religions are thousands of years old . And today they are brainwashed into people’s minds since childhood and they just accept them because they don’t know better .

You have to put an end to this victim mentality and self pity if you wish for your life to change. Because otherwise you will never change.

Is the question “what’s the meaning of life ?” Or “ what are your top values “ ?

1- Peace . 2-Love. 3- Health . 4- Serenity. 5- Well being .

How did you know my kink ?

Take the gold pill and 2 cups of sugar and you will be just fine .

Thank you for sharing this information.

No, they aren’t needed . You study psychology. It’s well known that “depression “ as a clinical diagnosis has to do with with imbalances of things like Serotonin and dopamine in the brain .

Depression could be physical due to chemical imbalances in the brain , which is the most common form. or it can be caused by tragedies in one’s life , like losing a loved one. The second common one . or it can be seasonal. Like depression during winter . Which is the least common one. idk what is meant by depression “metaphysically “. But it’s an interesting concept to contemplate. I would guess something like existential crisis?

There is an old man whom I see almost daily, walking past me. I don’t know exactly how old he is, but he looks to be at least in his 70s. He is a stooped elderly man, with an ice-white beard and ice-white hair. He uses a stick to walk, and it takes him almost 15 minutes just to cross a street vertically. Watching him makes me deeply uncomfortable, because it reminds me of something I have always feared: old age. I have a very big fear of growing old. I don’t want to reach a point in my life where even crossing a street becomes a difficult task. The thought of gradually losing my independence, of having to move through the world with increasing difficulty, is genuinely frightening to me. I don’t want my own body to become an obstacle between me and the simplest things in life. Old people are also more prone to chronic illnesses, fatigue, insomnia, and all sorts of things that can make everyday life exhausting. My mother once told me that old age is very difficult, and she almost teared up while describing it. That moment stayed with me. There is something heartbreaking about it . I know that I tend to be a generally negative person and most of my expressions on this journal are negative . I use this journal for completely unrelated and free expression.My mind naturally gravitates towards the darker aspects of existence, and I have a habit of contemplating the unpleasant possibilities that other people might prefer to ignore. Perhaps this is why thoughts about ageing and physical deterioration affect me so deeply. I struggle to look at the human condition without noticing its vulnerabilities. This also connects to what I have been experiencing lately with mental fatigue. For some reason, I dislike the idea of being incarnated in a physical form at all. A physical body feels like a dense and gross substance, something heavy that I must inhabit and maintain for as long as I exist in this world. I wish I could be a breeze of cool air, an ethereal entity, or an angel made of pure light. Something weightless, free, and unburdened by the limitations of biological existence. Something that could simply exist without constantly having to worry about its own physical condition. When I look at the human body, I cannot help noticing how vulnerable and easily damaged its various parts are. The organs can be injured, the eyeballs can be pulled out, and the skull is essentially a rigid container protecting a mushy brain inside. The joints can break, and every bone seems capable of being dismantled under the right circumstances. Even the body’s most essential structures, the very things that allow us to perceive the world and experience consciousness, are susceptible to damage. morever the body must go through pain and must go through death . So I’m not sure if this is negative in and of itself or i am being overly negative about it.

I’m here. Why would I talk to you if I believed you were merely an inert character in my mind or dream? Leo, this makes no sense, and it’s not funny anymore. This solipsism bullshit has gone far enough. I suggest he cross-reference his insights on psychedelics with those of other enlightened people and double- and triple-check his position on this point, particularly regarding the idea that equating oneself with God is identical to the philosophy of solipsism. at this point , this is dangerous misleading from Leo’s part .
