Spiritual Warfare

Great, know listen to it, apparently you don’t listen to me (;

@James123 You have lost track of a fundamental logic and truth. If you cannot distinguish between a living reality and a dream reality, perhaps there is no difference. If you don't exist, in whatever way or form, then you don't get the reality and option of declaring that things are an illusion. You don't exist, therefore there is no "you" to address and there is no "you” that can make claims and experience.

Like I stated before illusions are real

Existence is everything that includes “humans”

@Leo Gura Rape/Molestation is an act of coercion, violence, and power that violates another person's integrity and autonomy. Love, on the other hand, is based on consent, respect, and care for the other person's well-being. Rape is the opposite of love, as it involves forcing oneself on another person without regard for their will and feelings. Love entails respecting and valuing the other person's boundaries and autonomy. Being raped/molested means these fundamental principles are violated in a deeply harmful way. I am deeply sorry for what you have gone through. Being subjected to rape/molestation is an incredibly painful and traumatic experience, and I want you to know that your feelings and experiences are valid. It's common to feel confusion and uncertainty about what happened, especially when it comes to understanding and processing such a traumatic event. Sometimes it can be difficult to see or accept that what happened was wrong, particularly if the perpetrator was someone you knew or trusted. However, it is important to emphasize that rape is never right. Regardless of the circumstances, it is never okay for someone to force themselves on you without your consent. Your worth and your boundaries always deserve to be respected. You are strong and brave and not alone.

It does not fully address the tangible experiences and realities of human existence. First, the notion that 'nothing has ever happened' can be seen as dismissive of the genuine experiences of joy, pain, growth, and suffering that individuals go through. These experiences shape our identities, relationships, and understanding of the world. To label them merely as illusions might undermine the significance they hold in our lives and the lessons they offer. Second, this perspective may overlook the importance of personal and collective responsibility. If life and its events are seen as illusory, it might lead to a sense of detachment or apathy towards addressing social injustices, environmental issues, and other pressing challenges. Recognizing the reality of these issues and taking action is crucial for fostering a compassionate and just society. Lastly, while enlightenment as being where you already are suggests a state of inner peace and acceptance, the journey towards such realization often involves significant personal effort, reflection, and growth. This journey is valuable in itself, as it encourages mindfulness, empathy, and a deeper connection with oneself and others. Remember illusions are real.

To claim that rape is desirable because there are individuals who commit such acts is a dangerous and incorrect conclusion. Rape is an act of violence and coercion that causes immense suffering and trauma for the victim. It is not an act that anyone wishes to experience or that has any form of legitimate desirability. The existence of individuals who commit rape reflects not a general desire or acceptance of the act, but rather a gross deviation from ethical and moral norms. Rape is criminal and immoral because it violates another person's bodily autonomy and integrity. Furthermore, rape is a deeply traumatic experience that can lead to long-term psychological and physical consequences for the victim, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. To claim that rape is desirable in any way trivializes these serious consequences and ignores the suffering of the victims. It is also important to distinguish between fantasies and real actions. Even if some individuals may have fantasies involving dominance or submission, this does not mean they wish for these fantasies to be realized in reality, especially not through coercion or violence.

Your assertion that acts such as rape occur due to a lack of consciousness and alignment is indeed a profound observation. However, attributing such acts solely to unconsciousness might oversimplify the complex interplay of psychological, social, and environmental factors that contribute to such behavior. While a higher state of consciousness might reduce the likelihood of committing harmful acts, it does not fully account for the myriad influences that can drive someone to commit such atrocities. Moreover, suggesting that higher consciousness is the sole remedy for preventing such acts could inadvertently imply that victims or society at large are responsible for not elevating the perpetrator's consciousness. This can be a problematic stance, as it overlooks the need for systemic changes, mental health interventions, and social justice measures to address and prevent such acts. If heightened consciousness and alignment can prevent such harmful acts, what practical steps can we take as individuals and as a society to cultivate this higher state of consciousness? How do we address the underlying psychological, social, and environmental factors that contribute to such behavior?

While the concept of God as an all-encompassing entity that is both everything and nothing is philosophically intriguing, it does not address the practical aspects of human existence and suffering. If we accept that God is everything and cannot help but be itself, it raises questions about the nature of free will and individual agency. How do we reconcile the idea of a predetermined divine essence with the everyday choices and moral responsibilities we face? Moreover, the notion that everything is God might blur the distinctions between good and evil, success and failure, joy and suffering, making it challenging to navigate life's complexities. If God is everything and cannot exist outside of itself, how do we account for the apparent dualities and conflicts in the world, such as good versus evil or joy versus suffering? How does the idea that 'God is everything' influence our understanding of free will and personal responsibility? Are our actions and decisions truly our own, or are they simply manifestations of a divine essence? If everything is a part of God and cannot exist independently, how do we explain the individuality and diversity of human experiences? What role do personal growth and self-improvement play in this framework? In a world where God is both everything and nothing, how do we find meaning and purpose in our lives? Is the search for meaning itself a divine act, or is it an illusion?

Perhaps it's this very awareness and acknowledgment of suffering that drives people to seek joy and relief in various activities. Engaging in social, physical, and recreational activities can be ways to counteract or manage the suffering they experience. In fact, such activities often serve as a form of therapy or escape from the mental and emotional pain they might feel.

While your perspective on suffering as a necessary guide to personal growth and eventual enlightenment is compelling, it might overlook the complexity of human emotions and experiences. Suffering is not always a clear indicator of deviation from a 'narrow path.' In fact, suffering can arise from numerous sources including biological, psychological, and social factors, many of which are beyond an individual's control. Moreover, the idea that children do not suffer may not be entirely accurate. Children can and do experience suffering, but their ways of coping and expressing it might be different from adults. They are not merely in a state of constant openness and happiness. It is also important to recognize that growth and maturity do not follow a strictly linear or predictable path. People can experience various forms of suffering and still lead meaningful and fulfilling lives without necessarily reaching a state of 'total purity' or complete control over reality. Finally, suggesting that most people are stuck in 'eternal adolescence' might be an oversimplification. Human development is multifaceted, and many individuals find ways to reconcile their inner conflicts and societal expectations without necessarily adhering to a single model of 'true adulthood.'

If suffering is necessarily part of achieving balance, why do many people strive to reduce suffering and seek happiness and well-being? I believe that unnecessary suffering is not balanced and good suffering is.

Blind faith is stupid and dangerous.

I love you

It's okay to take your time with it and work through any contradictions you might feel. The journey itself can be just as important as the destination. Keep exploring and refining your path, and you'll find the approach that resonates best with you.

Jesus often spoke about the importance of making choices and following God's will. An example is in Matthew 7:13-14, where he says: Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." This suggests that Jesus believed in the human ability to choose their path. Regarding guilt and responsibility, Jesus frequently preached about repentance and forgiveness. In John 8:11, when Jesus encounters the woman accused of adultery, he says: Neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin." Jesus also spoke about human nature and the need for repentance. In Mark 2:17, he says: It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Nothing is created that’s correct, I should use a better word like transform, but the thing is existence is not really neutral if it transforms to some new identity.

You can’t go from formless state to a limited form state without creating it, everything happens for a reason, it is not random.

It is more likely that existence (GOD) is neutral but God obviously has some will because the ego exists unfortunately. You can’t go from a state to another without a mind, without a will.

Rape is by definition undesirable and therefore cannot be universalized into a coherent moment of brilliance love.

In existence, the "badguy" has every right to be the badguy. If it was absolute in any other way or if what I just stated is a fallacy- then there would be no such thing as "badguy" and no such thing as even debating what is good and what is bad. But there is such a thing. In this life and reality, although we may certainly feel there are ideal and best effective ways to interact with each other, we must understand that there's just as reasonable a belief that one could dominate or control others, even consume others. Once again, we may not agree or believe it is the most effective way but we must understand that our reality or at least historically our reality contains a lot of support for the old combatative and hostile ways. You may not have a desire to rule the world but in no way does that mean, imply or result in others sharing your view. Other people do want to rule the world, and you can cry bloody murder all you want or you can make an effort to understand more details about what's in play and what's at stake. Do not be the buffalo arguing that the lion is evil. The lion must eat, just like the buffalo eat. Approach this situation from a different angle then. It's time to understand more. We're all murderers of something. We're all destroyers and home wreckers.

That's a powerful perspective on the nature of existence and the pursuit of awakening. It emphasizes the importance of detaching from the material and worldly concerns to discover true freedom and happiness within oneself. The analogy of the planet and different grades is quite thought-provoking, suggesting that the challenges and experiences we face are part of a larger process of spiritual education and growth.

Perception and experience are indeed closely intertwined. Perception can be thought of as the lens through which we interpret our experiences. If your experience is blissful, it can certainly alter your perception, making you more likely to see things in a positive light. Conversely, if your perception is enhanced and free from any biases or identifications, it can transform how you experience the world around you. In a way, perception and experience feed into each other in a continuous loop. A blissful experience can lead to a more positive perception, which in turn can lead to more blissful experiences. Similarly, an enhanced perception can lead to richer and more meaningful experiences. So, they are both essential and mutually influential in shaping our understanding of reality. ♾️

That’s strange that you said that, because you are in fact God
