@Leo Gura in a way, we are all muslims doing jihaad

Beautiful!!

Does words have absolute meanings? Do most Muslim understand the same thing by these words? Why they punish kaafirs? Why Islam ban so many things and impose too many rules?

Ok now here comes dandeli, nothing what I have dreamt of but still I was hopeful. What I dreamt of is not possible, because it was any other Indian town. I realized normally humans can't reserve nature cause they have their own petty needs, in process of full filling those needs they spoil the beauty of nature and another horrible reality I faced was my office. The USP of business was cheapest product. So it is made of everything that is cheap. I realized that I was there because I was cheap economically as an iit graduate. And on the top of it the business expects their employees to be workoholics, so their was obviously lack of creativity, innovation and novelity. Yes I recognized this lower consciousness stuff, but still I thought I can work as whatever I am providing value here and learning will be there. It was tough going though for these 1 and half months and I realized I am alone. Nobody has an idea what they are doing, their paradigm is still not the kind of successful people. The one thing I liked was that they were making product for masses and their are trade offs for this. So I finally decided to quit as I am not finding time for myself. I want to be in no hurry and do things on my own. I don't like the stress of being a workoholic, I know I can do better for myself and others too. These kinds of things I am not in. So here I am. Will try to resume journaling daily from now on. Learnt so much in these couple of months. Again to Bangalore tomorrow....

So after reading my 5 months old thread, I was here at dandeli. I just left my job hours ago. I will try to describe the story of my progress here. So after one month of preparation to being a developer at home, I finally felt it will never be enough for me to learn, I also needed to observe the landscape of IT. I needed to experience the environment that was Bangalore. So finally after talking to some of my best friends I decided to move there to finally stand on my own foot. To survive on my own in this messy world, off course survival is easy now a days but I am talking about surviving in a industry with cut throat competition and being in a job of highest amount of stress. I decided to be a developer because I have an mind which is very conceptual and I always thought that it will be a very successful endeavor for me. But I was still a noob. And expectations of my family was very high. So what do I do. I was there for mastery, not mere survival. I was there to be on top of the game. With full of enthusiasm I landed in Bangalore. Bangalore was a very good experience. In weekends I partied with my awesome friends, who were doing job and in weekdays I explored myself and developer landscape. At the one end it was a high time for me, a serious task to win, but then I was alone and moving fast through things, I but still time was not enough but the desire was very strong to take over this new territory. It was pretty interesting. Finally after a period of 4 months and with support of my friends, I got a job as a developer but not in Bangalore. It was in dandeli which is a small town near a wildlife sanctuary. So I was very happy as I thought it would be a very fun time, I can do both things my personal growth and development learning at a natural place. What a great gift God has given me. I was on the highest plane. Though salary was very less than I wanted to have and my family was also some what resistant. I decided to give it a shot as my friends were in favor of it too.

That's what it real feels like being in the dark and alone. You are the ray of hope.

If I see us as consciousness, then we are same but from other paradigm we are entirely different. Is it because we don't understand any thing. Are we even capable of understanding existence? Do someone has an answer?.

Where are you aiming at ? In the end, it doesn't even matter!! Reality is groundless.

I forget again and again, still I find myself on the same path, path to true growth. having high quality consciousness is more complex than i ever thought of.

@Mircan you are doing exactly what works, Being Mindful! when you truly understand it yourself, you will no longer ask for anyone's advice, just try to understand it by being more mindful, more aware, more conscious and you are doing just that, don't doubt yourself no more.

You all are so funny. I am so happy that you exist.

@Joseph Maynor I am interested but where you are reading from?

what do you want more than happiness?

Out of infinite perspectives, yours is one and it's also as unimportant as any other's. what you are thinking is simply not true, you are seeing from your beliefs, not from your eyes. you are not seeing the reality as it is and thus resisting it. when you just be, then you will accept it for what it is and then you will see the truth that is simply beautiful. less or more doesn't exist, it's your projection on reality. Stop judging others as well as yourself and maybe the boundaries don't exist?

there are so many gods and godmens out there. Some say God is a concept or theory, some says its absolute infinite understanding, some thinks its about energy and others think its a man in the cloud or maybe a man on the earth. what do you believe it to be or understand it to be??

@Alexo45 become more conscious and it will not be a problem.

@TJ Reeves what an explanation!!, I realize now that how I was caged inside my own prison, which I could open at any time, but then it's the thrill of breaking the prison. It maybe a real prison or prison of beliefs, it's the same force working. Call it god, call it anything, it's only there is, you me and everyone!

@egoless the day you will realize it, you will be enlightened.

@Danda their is no other perspective, its only your perception in the end. You are everything there are. You draw boundaries and close yourself in a box whatever size. Do it or not do it. It's you. In experience, being is the most profound state I can have. The God lives in being itself.

@electroBeam I don't understand why yogis need to box themselves in your definition of kind??????????

@Shiva the distinction between knowing and believing is of the language and yeah I both know and also believe it. But can you live without a self or why you want to be ? Methods only work till you are in the mind-matrix. I am already not in that but just want to use that to my survival as I am enjoying the life.

@Shiva in the process of knowing you will make new beliefs and destroy them. How do you understand without believing. Understanding also include believing at the end, there are always assumptions you know. You really can't know everything on the existential level. This is how this process is like, making beliefs and destroying them.

@Shiva beliefs matter in the sense that they are also linked to reality in a way. Beliefs are ideas with with strong reasons to support them, and I believe people of this group to be empirical enough in their reasoning. I am also understanding why are you saying that beliefs don't matter. But it matters at the case of surviving the self. My self want to survive and live fully for that it needs some basis. S

@Joseph Maynor if we use "sage" to label most conscious beings, I'm no sage. yeah but there are times when there is absolute authenticity comes and then there is no usual me, I become awareness. but it's not like that always. I become less conscious often. language is a powerful tool to flow not only information of all kind but meta knowledge too. Obviously it is a construction and often misunderstood by those who don't do hard work to understand and just download it their minds. meta knowledge needs to be experienced to understood and require a fully conscious being.

@Joseph Maynor thought stories are not real but the thoughts are real. Mind creates thought that can be translated to reality. Till a thought is not out there, its content is unreal. But the sensations in mind and emotions are real while thinking. Now what are you reading are my thoughts which are translated to this screen and this is real. But its content what I am trying to say by these symbols may or may not be real out there.
