Someone here

I'm serious. Watch out ..racism.

? The 72 virgins ...remember?

@SourceCodo yes it was delivered by the angel Gabriel but the verses themselves were not from the angel but from God. I know the story of Islam and how corrupt and skewed it is. But the Quran simply offers clear-cut answers to the big existential questions like where did we come from ?and why are we here ?and where are we gonna go after death ? That's why I want to become a Muslim.

Not sure where you got this from . According to all Christian sects ..it is written by the prophets by the inspiration of the "Holy Spirit ". Its humans who wrote it. Yeah I actually ment the second chapter (the cow ). I've actually read the entire quran ..and I'm considering converting to Islam. What do you think ??

@SourceCodo

Points are sharp . Ouch ! Gotta stay away from "points "

Only YOU can answer this question

Imo Fear affects people's lives particularly when they are unconscious (ignorant). time and thought are fear. However.. when you can observe it..when you are aware of it as you are aware of your self looking in a mirror.. action enfolds and freedom from fear can begin. Thought and time = fear. While your perspective might be correct..I tend to believe that fear can influence your life both positively and negatively It can be a motivation to do things you think you are unable to do.. as long as the fear of losing or not doing what you love is stronger than the fear of a possible failure in trying to achieve it. But also..Fear can discourage you to even try. Might be that you have a chance to successfully execute a certain thin.. only if you tried..but because your fear of failing at it is stronger than your love for achieving it..you will not make attempt. Etc Then you are on the right track

@Hojo are you aware that Muslims believe that the Quran is the literal word of God? It has no human author. It was revealed to Muhammad directly from God (channeling )? Unlike the Bible which is human made ? Its an interesting book .I like to listen to the quran recited in Arabic. It's beautiful and poetic. And the first chapter is really an interesting one . Good book to read and study. Not sure why no one on this forum talks about it . it is normal to have some fear. I believe.. possibly..the older one ages the worst it may become...but there are subliminal persuasion tapes to get rid of the fear because too much fear is not healthy.

Unfortunately my only method is listening to spiritual teachers like Leo and contemplate intellectually. Nothing fancy, I know . But I'm totally satisfied with my little knowledge that I have learned so far .

Well..you think you've figured the shit out of reality and he thinks so as well. Who are we to trust? I think it all boils down to how you guys define awakening. You define it as God imagining the world and he defines it as realising there is no separation between anything and ultimately there is nothing to realize . what happens is that whoever uses the word will be defining that state according to the limits of his or her own experience.

@Breakingthewall

@Leo Gura are you aware that Nahm have launched a forum that is a carbon-copy of yours and me and few others here have joined his forum ? The forum is structured almost detail by detail like this forum. This is gay .so gay .

I don't know much about his personal life .that's obvious. All I can say he is deeply deeply deeply enlightened or awake or however the fuck you wanna call it . Just pay extra attention to every word he says and you will extract nuggets of gold and spiritual wisdom .he knows his shit very well .I'm not sure who's more awake..him or Leo..but that's a pointless question.

@Leo Gura yeah:..rat ..fool..idiot ..jackass etc these are not "true "insults after all.

So i should expect when and if I get banned at some point in the future that you will call me a fa#$ot? Really ? If even high quality members like Nahm and WinterKnight are being degraded like this. You need an outside frame of reference to see how you are being arrogant and rude . So I will call you out on it . .you are a hypocrite leo...you play nice whenever you want and then you ban people and insult them . Where is the maturity? The integrity?

@Leo Gura Leo..please..this is Serious ..why do you have to insult people like that ? You don't set up a great example for your "students ". Is name-calling not allowed but only for you it is ? You are my idol and role model in life ..I look up to you and I want to be like you when I'm at your age . Please be more responsible and respectful .even when you ban someone ..don't talk shit about them. Just ban them and tell them that they are wrong and that's it . No need for these childish back and forth "come kiss my ass ,you fool ".

Is it that Governments can make money from thin air by having their central banks press keys on a computer? Please help me understand. I'm a total noob when it comes to business and finance.

@Gabith good to Realize that ownership is an illusion..which means that nothing in your life is actually yours..which means that you have been granted this eternal present moment for free..and that you're lucky to be alive.

It's religious nonsense? I don't think so. It is indeed a fantasy. In the present moment you wouldn't call your experience heavenly or hellish.. It's somewhere in the middle. Life has all kinds of opposites that compliment each other. One of them couldn't exist without the other. Up and down.. Good and bad.. Light and darkness.. Happiness and misery.. Pleasure and pain etc. The same creative power that created the beautiful stars and rainbows.. The sunset.. The birds the trees and the breeze.. The nature the sea.. This same creative Powe is able to create an infinitely beautiful reality that feels like an endless orgasm.. Yes it is. This same creative power that creeated the starving stomach ..the cancer.. The plague..the pain of being burned or bleeding to death.. The pain of being eaten alive.. Who made all this horrible stuff? The same creative power. The same creative power is able to create an infinitely painful reality that feels like being burned forever.. Hell. Nothing could prevent reality from manifesting hell or heaven .. And since the source is not separate.. You could manifest it. If you are not careful you might very well create hell.. If you follow the inner compass you are heading towards heaven. Metaphorical or not.. Happiness was Never a metaphor.. And pain was never and can never be an illusion. Because illusions do not exist. I laugh my ass off whenever I hear a faint of an argument about reality being illusory.. Here it is dummy.. If you have eyes to look.. Look. If you have ears to hear.. Hear. What else matters but happiness?? If you have tasted the beauty that this creative power is able to create.. . And you have tasted the pain that it is able to create as well.... You gotta figure out your way to heaven. Everyone is different. Your heaven is not my heaven.. Since its fantasy but it's real!. The only purpose of life if any is to actualize YOUR heaven.

Agreed ?.

Awakening is simply becoming consious of the absolute truth which is unconditional love and pure goodness. No there is no room to be raped for infinity . That would imply that God is evil or unintelligent. Think about it ..if you realized that you are god and all powerfull..what would you create?

Probably you didn't read the entire post. I asked to answer that they are NOT religious nonsense. So I know the answer. .no it's actually not In a different realm .its always here and now . If you are awake..the entire existence will be your biggest paradise. If you are not awake..then life will be your hell .and you will reincarnated in lesser forms of consciousness to suffer endlessly..until you wise up and just fucking awaken .

I'm not talking About beliefs . You can become directly conscious that heaven and hell are indeed real. But they are NOT places. Its a state of consciousness..if you are awake then every little detail of reality will be an orgasm of ecstasy. There are actually sages here in India that can survive on breath and light alone . Because they had achieved the full Godhood.

In fact Leo's videos are so powerful that I've deliberately decided to stop listening to his videos for a while and take a vacation because he threw truth bombs everywhere and I couldn't handle it . You are right in that I took it as a belief. And that's why I have no beliefs or try to be without any belief systems .because I recognise that the only barrier that prevents me from seeing the truth Is my beliefs. I even tried to stop reading the forum but I couldn't..If I read something which jars with my belief system.. I assess whether it is genuinely new information or can be subsumed into a category I've already considered. If it is something new..and which impacts on my beliefs..I will try to assess the reliability of the new information and spend time considering the implications. I am prepared to change my existing beliefs in light of new evidence which would indicate my current beliefs are untenable.
