allright, im beginnin to get this. Im beginnin to believe that maybe i do need an  experience.

But im not sure if i want to. I meditate everyday but not for enlightnment purposes. Or maybe i can use psychedelics.

I will think about that.

What is it that you desire?

@Serotoninluv As i sad, im 19 years old going 20 soon. Im so confused about life, and i have this fkin mind that wants to understand everything about everything. It's compulsive,maybe it's a problem. I don't feel complete when i don't know something. For example why is that i can see in colors, or what is an atom or things like that. Stupid little things and big things.

I have an idea of what kind of a person i am and what i want but i have so many limiting beliefs. 

I have stuck emotions inside me. 

But i do know that i am passionate about personal development. I do know that i have an amazing ability to be passionate about things. And i do know for sure i wont live a normal life, i want something different. Yes this things i know for sure.

That's a story.

Were you there to see all that happening ?

Shin,

Where were you when God created the Earth, moon, and stars?  Where were any of us during the unfolding of the ages of human history?  Where were we before we were conceived?  Where are we going after this life?  What is the meaning of it all?  Is it really just about us?

Want the answers?  Read the Holy Bible.

Happy searching....

Fairies are real and fairy tales are true. 

[Nahm]

@arlin Right.    

 

Which is primary, or ‘first’ then - awareness, or thoughts?

I feel sorry for you because the Bible is not only a faith text, but also a historical record.  

It is not a fairy tale.  I don't do fairy tales.  Never did.

That's not what I'm pointing at.

I'm pointing at the fact that he is taking the Bible as an authority, which is closed mindedness.

You can't properly investigate if you think a book is the Truth.

The Truth can only be accessed beyond the mind, beyond concepts and beliefs.

Please do not derail/hijack this thread toward a discussion/promoting the Bible/Christianity. Stay on the OP’s topic or start your own thread.

Actually, the Holy Bible is the only truly authoritative written Word of God.  It is unique.  The way to Heaven is narrow, and few find it....

Hey, the bible is a replication of ancient stories about multiple god's. It's not what you think it is.

It's about various elohims, not only about jahveh. Learn jewish and read the bible and then tell me.

I have deeply studied that shit, it's not what you think it is.

[Soul-lover 2020]

OK.  Off I go for now....

I don't see the problem with any religious preaching on this forum, because most here consider them wrong or corrupted so what difference does it make if a bunch of people claim otherwise? I mean this place is full of enlightened people, at least so they claim, so i don't get the need to ban or rejected others who in the same way of thinking claim to have found the truth unless it is fear to be convinced.

Hijacking threads is against forum guidelines. 

[Nahm]

Spreading propaganda is also against forum guidelines.

Have you watched Leo’s video on 65 keys for a good life? It’s one of my favorites for looking at the big picture of life.
