My favorite religion. Still a religion though , not infinite enough .

What’s the difference between the “open absolute being “ and everything? As long as you haven’t gotten to openness towards everything then you are still biased towards one outcome versus the other . And I’m not saying that’s a bad thing . Every ego or “psyche” is by definition biased towards what benefits its survival. Can you clarify this point specifically?

Ok I understand what you mean. Then openness would be still biased ?

The way I understand the word “openness “ is that it welcomes toxic behavior , not exclude it .

The first one will be copy-pasted but then you will start writing your own ?

This might lead to panic attacks if not managed properly. It often results from stressful situations and a stressful lifestyle, especially when your mind remains in a constant state of focus and mental activity. When you are repeatedly exposed to stress, this can make you overly conscious of things that normally happen automatically, including your breathing. If you experience this even in your free time, when there is technically nothing stressful happening around you, then it can be a result of a hyperactive mind and too much energy being wasted on being “focused.” You may find yourself continuously checking whether you are breathing correctly trying to control something that your body is already capable of doing automatically. Obviously, you understand logically that you don’t have to force yourself to breathe unless there is something clinical going on in your lungs or breathing system. Your body already knows how to breathe without your conscious involvement. This is evident when you are asleep: your body keeps breathing automatically without your conscious focus. You do not have to remind yourself to inhale or exhale while sleeping. Your breathing continues naturally because it is an automatic function of the body. The problem can arise when you start bringing too much conscious attention to something that is normally automatic. The more attention you place on your breathing, the more noticeable every little sensation can become. You may notice the depth of each breath, the timing of each inhale and exhale, or whether your breathing “feels” normal. This can create a cycle where you become focused on breathing, that focus makes breathing feel more noticeable or unnatural, and then the unusual sensation causes you to focus on it even more. You need to start reducing your attention on breathing and divert your attention towards outward activities. Instead of constantly checking what is happening inside your body, begin directing your attention toward what is happening around you. Start going outside more often in your free time and focus on talking with others. Small talk if you are introverted, casual conversations, meeting people, going for a walk, or simply being around other people can all help shift your attention outward. You can also play a sport or take up a hobby that requires active participation and concentration. The goal is not to deliberately control your breathing while doing these activities. In fact, the opposite is true. Allow yourself to become absorbed in the activity itself. Focus on the game, the conversation, the environment, the hobby, the movement, or whatever else you are doing. This will force your attention outwards into the activity and less on your breathing. As your attention becomes occupied with things outside of yourself, your breathing can gradually become less of a conscious concern. You begin to experience the fact that your body can regulate breathing on its own without you constantly supervising it. This can allow your breathing to become effortless, as it is supposed to be optimally.

There is a direct correlation between your diet and your state of consciousness. What you put into your body directly affects your experience of reality to a great degree. It affects your energy levels, your mood, your sleep cycle, your libido, and the physical structure and tightness of your body. It affects your mental clarity, the brightness of your perception, the scope of your awareness, and even the limits of your imagination and consciousness. carbs and meat protein is the best food for strength . fruits are the best food for mental clarity and mood boost. caffeine is a temporary mood enhancer but in the long term it can lead to depression and anxiety.

-physical life is not an illusion. -Mental life is an illusion. My life-story . The story that I’m a human being living in a country on a planet going through real timeline having to solve problems ..is an illusion created by the thinking process. I somewhat have to figure out how to juggle these two perspectives together and without conflating spirituality with survival .

-write about how you genuinely feel In the moment. Try to stay away from writing about things you have no interest in or experience with. -try to keep your poems optimistic and positive rather than bleak and depressing, because you are writing them in the morning. It’s a good practice . Good luck !

Yes . the nuance being that what you as a human consider as “ evil “ is part of the infinite creation. The infinite creative power of god demands infinite creation. If rape , murder , sickness, depression, death etc were not part of creation , then god’s creation will be missing that puzzle piece that makes his creation ,and him ,truly “All” .

I agree . don't you think though we have to walk the talk ? There is the trap of using spirituality as a form of escapism. if one genuinely relates to life and consciousness as stressful by default, then we should be honest about that. We should be honest about where we actually are on the path ,instead of pretending we are in a place on the path which we are actually not .

Thank you for your honesty. I appreciate it .

@Joseph Maynor @Mellowmarsh thanks . what is your tranquility rooted in? Do you have stressful jobs ? Or in your twilight years of your life ? I ask because I go through stress everyday and I rely on smoking cigarettes to calm my nerves down ,which is obviously unhealthy and works only temporarily , in the long run it actuallly feeds the stress even more .

Which “reality “ ? there is still no reality according to you . We are talking from ground zero , from scratch . you claim the possibilities,which are pure abstractions , come into being spontaneously because of “the inevitable flow of reality “ ,while we still have no reality for these possibilities to come in or from . The reality is god .

A possibility before being actualized or materialized is pure abstraction . It would not have the ability to come into existence on its own . Something has to actualize it . What ?

@Breakingthewall good questions. God is not a human-like entity residing in the heavens . God in its essence is beyond comprehension. however , God exists and is conscious, intelligent , wise , good ,omnipotent. imagine evil . Think of this evil potential possibility : a child is going to be born with bone cancer and undergoes chemotherapy and suffers excruciating pain for 5 years and then eventually dies . And his parents are messed for good . this actually happens in this world we live in , and much worse . imagine god thinking of that possibility before creating it :”should I create it or should I not ?” that possibility wants to come into existence. Because god is all good and all loving ,He will create this possibility. Because he loves all possibilities and he will create them . read the Sufi Ibn Arabi .

Yes , exactly. That IS what I’m saying . The recording of a song proves that the song is not nonexistent, or lost in the past forever. It exists right now. And it will never get lost forever . Nothing is ever lost . Where would anything go ? There is no where to go, so it stays eternally existing, whether recrodid or not .

God sees no evil. God is unconditional goodness. God created evil precisely because God is absolutely good. If God did not create evil, He would not be infinitely Good, because the evil things are longing to be created and brought into existence. They suffer from staying in nothingness .Therefore,out of his all-encompassing goodness, He created them. Evil is a potential. God makes all potential things actual precisely because his goodness and unlimited creating ability encompass everything. God created pain , evil , suffering.. because he is infinitely good .

interesting. I think the recording existing actually proves the past is not imaginary but real . The past is never lost forever. There is a cosmic memory card where everything is stored .

The number one reason I smoke cigarettes is stress-management.

There is a part of me that wants a better world , a better universe. With all my wishes fulfilled. there is a part of me that won’t get fulfilled even with that and infinitely more. there is a part of me that sees the infinite beauty of this universe . there is a part of me that is deeply sad . there is a part of me that is confused . there is a part of me that knows everything is nothing.

I think one of the most important things on a spiritual path is learning to make a clear distinction between genuine spiritual insight and spiritual escapism. The two can sometimes look almost identical from the outside, and even internally they can be difficult to distinguish. A profound insight can genuinely change the way you relate to life, but the mind can also take spiritual ideas that contain some truth and turn them into a way of avoiding whatever feels difficult or uncomfortable about practical life . For example, the idea that “nothing ultimately matters” feels incredibly liberating. The idea that no external achievement, relationship, possession, or experience can ever provide permanent fulfillment can also feel deeply true and resonates with our “soul “.And there is something very appealing about the possibility of simply withdrawing from the noise of the world, sitting in silence, and discovering that happiness does not depend on anything outside of oneself. Or living like Ramana Maharishi ,just fully vulnerable and present hanging out naked in an ashram barely covering my penis and ass. But precisely because these perspectives are so appealing, they can be self-deceptions. Is it genuinely a realization that nothing external can provide lasting fulfillment? Or is the mind using that insight as a justification for not engaging with life? Is the desire to sit alone in silence coming from freedom and clarity, or is it partly coming from fear, or an unwillingness to deal with the complexity of relationships and society? The social dimension of life is difficult . Always has been ,always will be . Relationships, friendships, work, family, social expectations, communication, conflict, rejection, intimacy, responsibility, and simply being around other people can create enormous amounts of stress. It can therefore be extremely tempting to arrive at a spiritual conclusion that seems to solve the entire problem: “None of this really matters. I don’t need any of it. I can just be alone, meditate, and be perfectly content.” Maybe there is genuine wisdom in recognizing that none of these things can provide ultimate fulfillment. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that withdrawing from them is automatically an expression of spiritual freedom. There is a difference between realizing that you do not need something for your fundamental well-being and deciding that you therefore should have nothing to do with it. There is also a possibility that both things can be happening simultaneously. Maybe there really are genuine spiritual insights present, while at the same time those insights are being used, consciously or unconsciously, as a form of escapism i could genuinely understand that external circumstances cannot give me permanent fulfillment while also secretly enjoying the idea because it gives me permission to avoid confronting certain aspects of life. I could genuinely experience the peace of solitude while also using solitude to protect myself from the difficulties of human interactions .i could genuinely see through certain forms of worldly attachment while simultaneously using spirituality to avoid responsibilities or experiences that make me uncomfortable At the same time, the opposite can also become a trap. We shouldn’t automatically dismiss an insight simply because it makes us less interested in certain conventional pursuits. Sometimes genuine spiritual understanding really does change one’s priorities. Perhaps certain ambitions genuinely lose their importance. Perhaps solitude really is more fulfilling than constant stimulation. Perhaps one genuinely discovers that happiness does not depend on acquiring more experiences, possessions, attention, or validation. The challenge is determining whether that movement is coming from freedom or avoidance. Maybe one useful test is to ask: If I were completely unafraid of life, would I still choose this? If I had no fear of rejection, conflict, judgment, intimacy, failure, uncertainty, or social discomfort, would I still want to live a very solitary life? If the answer is yes, that tells me something. But if the desire for solitude becomes dramatically weaker when I imagine myself completely at ease with other people, then perhaps there is an element of avoidance mixed into my spiritual reasoning.

Pinning topics to contemplate so that I don’t forget : - deep sleep . - decision making . -boredom . - exercising. -conflating spirituality with survival . -juggling different perspectives simultaneously.
