Everyone knows it, it is forgotten; so now it may be hidden. Love and enlightenment are two sides of the same coin. This love is pure acceptance and forgiveness; it is accepting anybody as they are and see that there is no choice in what they are doing.

I love the Arabic way of saying ‘hi’, which is As-salamu alaykum (السلام عليكم). It means ‘Peace Be Upon You’. I want to greet the readers of my blog with a loving ‘As-salamu alaykum’ today. This is a personal post. Today is my birthday and I just finished writing an answer in Quora for the question “Are birthdays over-rated?”: As an individual human being, you are one in 250 million; because you are a unique pattern created by the combination of nature and nurture, with one part of your ancestry coming from one sperm cell that won the race among 250 million sperm cells! Your birthday is the day when that one sperm cell and one egg became a fully developed baby to take its first breath! Don’t we have to joyfully celebrate this at least once a year? The celebration doesn’t have to be grand though. Your birthday can be a day when you do things that you like so much, talk to people whom you love very much and look back at life to cherish past memories. A birthday can also be a day of thanksgiving to your beloved ones because they were with you all these years. Your birthday is your personal new year! For me, a birthday makes more sense than a new year. As far as you are concerned, your birthday is the new year for you in this life. It is a milestone in your journey. I don’t think birthdays are overrated. But they are probably celebrated in a cliched, and mechanical ways these days. Today, September 26th, is my birthday… . It is 1:43 AM as I am writing this answer. Today I am going to do everything that I love doing. One of them is writing answers on Quora. ………………….. So, I am going to do things that I love to do today. I don’t want to make a video since my throat is not good; so I just thought of writing a casual post. I have been recently making some pictures to share on social media; they are about peace, love and meditation. If you like them, please feel free to download and share. Here they are:

@Nondescript Watch this too:

I have an explanation for all this. Look up how many gospels are there for Jesus. The actual truth is actually distorted in Bible.. But certain verses in Bible stick out like a sore thumb revealing its original source. I was planning to write a book on this and had prepared some notes. I am sharing those notes here: 1) The existence of an oral tradition of secret teachings of Jesus called Disciplina Arcani which was taught only to his disciples and passed on orally. To the masses Jesus mainly taught through parables. 2) Existence of other gospels about Jesus which were never part of the Bible. The books in new testament was handpicked by Rome to suit their political agenda during the time of Constantine. Remember that this same Roman empire wanted to kill Jesus when he was born. 3) the possibility that Jesus lived in India between the age 13-29 which is explored in the article: https://dailyinformator.com/bbc-doc-proves-jesus-was-a-buddhist-monk-named-issa-who-spent-16-years-in-india-tibet/?ref=truth I will only consider this as a very likely possibility, since no one can be 100% certain about the past. 4) the real meaning of Trinity, Son of God and repentance, which are in perfect alignment with other ancient esoteric teachings that was popular in the East during 6the century BC. 5) few pages explaining how all religions of today has mostly become an opportunity to create divisions among people, create violence and used by people for show off, to simply boast and claim superiority and hate each other.. This is totally contradictory to what Jesus taught.. I was shocked after attending a meeting in a protestant church where the pastor was almost teaching to hate other people. Even though he did not directly say that, his underlying message was hatred. A girl I know has been seriously brainwashed by that church and this poor girl really doesn't know what she is doing. She once told me that all Catholics are idiots and she is trying very hard to convert her catholic boyfriend to her protestant path.. But unfortunately the poor girl thinks that it is OK to call an entire group of human beings as idiots in the name of religion. She is so desperate to prove her boyfriend that he is wrong by quoting one of the ten commandments. But she doesn't seriously consider the fact that all Jesus was concerned about was two commandments: love God and love other human beings unconditionally.. 6) a discussion about Christian mysticism, union with God and saints like St. Avila and St. John of the cross who are believed to have attained union with God. Christian mysticism preserves most of the original teachings of Jesus. 7) details about the metaphorical meaning behind the story in Genesis and also about Kaballah, a Jewish mystic tradition 8) details about how certain words have been wrongly translated in Bible from Greek to English, which changed the meaning of certain concepts.

Actualized.org has got a free promotion! .. A meditation lover who hasn't heard about actualized.org will register here after watching the video...

thank you.. oh yes.. All seven are true.. It should be... Free will is a delicate topic. When we say there is no free will, people always misunderstand as some kind of nihilistic teaching. So the 7-valued logic is the best way to address this confusion.

@Shin Love is not a belief; you know what is love

Thanks a lot for the wishes guys.... @Shin This is a post of love..

The 'free will vs no free will' debate or confusion can be resolved by applying something called 7-valued logic. If you have the patience and time to read a long article, then read this: https://nellaishanmugam.wordpress.com/2018/06/13/logic-and-spiritual-enlightenment-an-overview-of-anekantavada-saptabhangivada-seven-valued-logic-and-syadvada-of-jainism/.

Watch the full video. Will sound very familiar:

@Martin123 @Outer Here is the video:

@Shin Hey Shin.. Didn't see your posts for a long time.. How are you and when did you come back?

@Martin123 What is LOA? Anyway, I have made a video about it and uploading it now.. It is a 30-minute commentary of this post... @Outer No.. I haven't.. I have heard his name but don't know anything about him

@Gryner A recent study shows that weed helps to recover from psychosis. But weed also causes psychosis. So, it may produce any result. But recently I have been hearing about many studies which make me feel as if it is a magic herb and can cure anything: it kills cancer cells, cures depression, boosts creativity, helps with self-inquiry, magnifies the feeling of love and the pleasure of sex, eases the pain, and sometimes even cures psychosis. You can try some weed but make sure you do some research on such experiences by other people. Understand and use it at your own risk; because I don't know if it will cure the problem or make it worse.
