Seems entirely arbitrary. And the fact that the creator of this measurement system sat down and judged all of these people and works he only had tertiary knowledge of says to me he might have been a little dim. Lots and lots of projection of ideals.

Your role playing is cute 🥰 Alas, definitively not enlightenment. Consider setting aside some time to contemplate this.

Something or someone wrote those words in an attempt to communicate with something or another… If anyone sees and understands these words, please have a wonderful day.

Lol you read that? yikes, God.

No expounding allowed. Sorry bud.

Maybe he’ll one day wake up to his own self deception and slowly build disdain for the deceptive ideation of others and what it does to innocent listeners. or maybe he’ll see past all of that and have a good laugh and a cup of tea. who knows. let’s ask who. Who has aids.

Man engages with his imagination and experiences a near death experience, angels, spirits and the soul of the earth. All while believing they don’t exist… After years of neurotic self deprivation and drug abuse. He then proceeds to describe his ordinary reality using spirituality charged words and concepts to further define these experiences. However, he was too confused to recognize it as imagination because he was excited about the mystery and relief these visions provided his mental suffering. Same old story.

I recall reading of a practice: you were to raise the toungue to the roof of the mouth and slowly cut the little thing stopped it from going back further. when it’s cut, you can stick your tongue into the hole going into the upper throat. This allows you to breathe all of your air into the mind and fill your mouth with brain nectar that heals all sorts of things and provides you with illuminating wisdom. but it is just saliva pooling in the mouth. I mean, I probably misunderstood it for how absurd it seemed. But I also have a 4th grade reading compression so I imagine I understood just fine. It’s a lot like ancient Chinese medicine. And dietary advice. Did what you read about it make sense?

I suppose I’ll have to take your word for it

Yeah, oh well

If you do convert, be ready to follow the rules and guidance laid upon you. Otherwise, it’s the fire for you. The book is very direct about this.

Enjoy ☺️

I got it from cultural upbringing. (Consider the trinity as One) Since Jesus, The Spirit and The Father are God and the Bible is centered on those teachings, it’s the word of God. But whatever, I was just sharing an anecdote that was held in my local churches. I don’t hold such views. Jesus had nothing to do with writing the Bible anyways and I doubt any quotes are attributable to that guy. I’ve read the Qur’an myself. Almost twice now. I get a lot out of it. But I’m not planning to hold any faith besides faith itself. Everything else is a tool and teaching for strengthening it. (Not to disrespect anyone else’s beliefs, I simply hold too much doubt in picking sides or a singular path.) @Someone hereSomething that really stands out to me: The teachings of the Qur’an are an offshoot of Catholicism and Christianity. But done in a way meant to speak to that group using their own words and angels as messengers. Which… In my opinion, was an attempt at manipulating the audience. Not sure about this, but It wasn’t God that brought Muhammad the teachings, it was the Angel Gabriel. I think that’s actually mentioned in “The Cow”. The Angel Michael is also mentioned shortly after. Characters which at the time, were unique to the Catholic/Jewish/Christian establishment, right? Or did they originate elsewhere?

@Someone hereThe Christian Bible was said to be the same. By small groups… But was pushed as hard fact for a long time. (Literal word of God) Al-Fatiha, The first chapter of the Qu’ran seems like a table of contents, basic instructions and descriptions. Was there something specific about it that made you bring it up? I found Al-Baqara (2) to be a lot more interesting. So many threats and challenges!

Watch out for nails sticking out of old boards. Those points are a serious ouch!

Na, you get it. What are you gonna do now? The ball is in your court (you create meaning and purpose). Your imagination coupled with that physical vehicle is the limiter on what you can do. There is no point, but there’s infinite points to be found. What a paradox. Have fun.

Maybe, maybe… I think we’re seeing eye to eye now. If we’re too busy seeking specific ends, we won’t be free to wonder freely and deeply. The outcome bias will get in our way. Attachments… Idealism… However, when there’s no attempts at defining the unknown, there’s no arising of doubt. Curiosity remains free to roam. ? “If you wish to understand, know that a sudden comprehension comes when the mind has been purged of all the clutter of conceptual and discriminatory thought-activity. Those who seek the truth by means of intellect and learning only get further and further away from it. Not till your thoughts cease all their branching here and there, not till you abandon all thoughts of seeking for something, not till your mind is motionless as wood or stone, will you be on the right road to the Gate.” Huang Po, The Zen Teaching of Huang Po: On the Transmission of Mind

What exactly are you saying is happening that you think I’m disagreeing with or trying to deceive you with?

Ordinary Mind doing what Ordinary Mind does. Being normal and unique. Defining things.

Think what you’d like. I’ve done LSD and many others. Have you smoked 80x Salvia and had a full on conversation with multiple alien intelligences that informed you of the illusory nature of reality, your loved ones and everything you hold near and dear? All while you were apparently unconscious? I’m just savvy to some of the tricks an altered perspective can play on the wishful intellect. I’ve seen the darkness of my own mind emit light, I’ve seen the mental Big Bang, and plenty of inanimate objects creating light, too. Unsurprisingly, my materialist view chalked it up to totally normal hallucinations. Ordinary Mind stuffs.

Reconstruction in this use-case seems to be just another word for “acquired a bias” via “novel perception”. What purpose does purpose serve in an infinitely variable Mind? Whatever The Mind wants.

The word me isn’t a tangible thing. The being me points toward isn’t a tangible thing. The symbolic entity and persona identified as me isn’t a tangible thing. Ruminating and spending time arguing with yourself over the right word to describe yourself has a tangible outcome. - The intangible creating the tangible.

I’m happy to know that I am toenails as much as I am the rising sun. ?

What do you mean I’m not consigned to some eternal hell? Did you just try to limit my infinite nature and potentialities? I am God, per your word. And I don’t appreciate it when people go around saying what I can do and can’t do, Will or won’t do, nor do I appreciate dismissing aspects of reality simply because they go unseen. Anyways, thanks for the insight. Much love.
