Spiritual Warfare

Iraq's parliament recently lowered the age of consent from 18 to 9 years old. It appears that people in the Middle East are still adhering to outdated practices. Enough is enough with these bizarre laws and honor cultures. It is essential to advocate for change and promote values that protect individual rights and freedoms for all.

It feels like existence is suffering, but that’s because I don’t trust existence. I don’t know what happens in the next chapter after death, and that uncertainty makes it hard to fully trust the process.

Easier said than done, but thank you for your responses.

I still have a hard time accepting that suffering is just a tool for creation. It feels like we’re overlooking the pain and harm that so many beings experience. While I understand that survival and struggle are part of life, I can’t help but question if there might be a way to evolve beyond such a harsh cycle. If life is constantly creating in the present, how do we balance that creation with the need for compassion and understanding in a world full of suffering?

I understand what you mean about preconceived notions making it harder to find answers, and I agree that humans have a unique ability to make conscious choices, though we often fail to use it wisely. That said, I still struggle with the idea of life being designed for ‘the strongest to survive.’ If the system is meant to create balance and allow life to flourish through sacrifice, how do we make sense of the unnecessary suffering, cruelty, and destruction, especially the kind caused by humans? It makes me wonder, does this reality reflect the intentions of a benevolent Creator, or could we be misunderstanding the purpose entirely?

Thank you, I will do my best.

Thank you! I see the vastness of space when I meditate.

I don’t feel the same way now as I did back then. It just felt different at the time, but I’m not sure how to describe it. No strong feelings, though.

👏🌟

This has made me feel calmer in case I decide to try it someday. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for your explanations. They’ve definitely made me even more excited to give it a try. I’ll definitely take your advice on dosing seriously.

Very frightening, but you’ve probably learned to manage fear, or maybe the fear has disappeared for you.

👍

Okay, it feels refreshing.

Thanks for the tips, but how can psychedelics empty your mind? Isn’t it kind of the opposite? It feels like you’d have more thoughts and reflections, with no moment of peace if you start smoking. I don’t really know how psychedelics work. I’ve never tried them and have read too little about them.

I started to fart, just kidding, but seriously, it felt like my thumb was shrinking, and I became more of a formless entity.

Doesn’t it take years of practice to completely empty the mind?

For how long?

I’ve never tried it, and it’s also illegal where I live. But would you say that ego death is something that actually happens, or is it just a feeling? If it’s something you can’t explain without trying psychedelics yourself, I might consider giving it a try.

What a great explanation! I have a sense every day that this is true. I really need to see more clearly that I am not a form, but the entirety of existence.

That’s correct, I’ve tested it myself, and it’s very fascinating.

I need paper evidence for these claims.

That’s exactly why I said good luck finding yourself! 😅

I think that’s what death feels like.

Sounds like you’re the most elusive thing in existence. Good luck finding yourself.
