Is there a God who hears our prayer?

[Buba]

Is there a God who hears our prayer, decides, changes our fate and etc? Can he do miracles just because I want it?

[Leo Gura]

You are he.

This is a complicated question. As someone that grew up Christian and now being a universalist I sympathize with the idea of praying to a God while also understanding the new age psychedelic perspective. So to answer your question I think prayers can answered by your own consciousness, an angel, or even God himself. Read Eben Alexanders book how he talked to god as a manifested being in pure dazzling consciousness.

As far as miracles yes miracles are possible. Even the Buddha preformed some miracles as well as Jesus. Hell I've even read of astral projectors that have done miracles.

Miracles don't happen when ego wants it, miracles happen when ego surrenders to what God wants -- which is Love.

I have been non-stop suffering for last 14 years. In psychoanalysis it was revealed I was suffering because I was trying to undo my passive homosexuality (bottom). It was a big shock for me. I could not surrender to it totally. After two months it subsided, so I did not become a gay, but I still have urges in my anus.

I was going to be happy that I avoided being homosexual, I faced a paradox. I had been living a homosexual life besides heterosexual. It was an active homosexuality (top). I had had homosexual sex 6 times during last 10 years. I had watched gay porn, had had homosexual fantasies. But never labeled it as homosexuality and was sure I was pure heterosexual. To know that I have been bisexual for last ten years hit me so hard I was injected antidepressants. I could not believe I did those things, I could not believe myself. I had always been pure heterosexual until I entered a dating website where one year after writing to girls and being rejected I started to check profiles of shemales and got aroused by their photos and after months of fantasies I went and fuck a tyranny. So my homosexual life began from a fantasy inspired by a photo of a shemale. Then I started to check photos of feminine gays.

Such a paradox. A guy who does not have a schizophrenia or is not retarded, had a homosexual life for 10 years and found it out after 10 years. I am so sad. I wish I did not enter that dating website, then I would never know my  top homosexual potential. Now I am so depressed. If I did not enter that website I would never had homosexual fantasy. Why did life play this trick? I had never been attracted to a shemale or gay before I entered that chat (at age of 23). Why did God let me in that website which spoiled my heterosexuality? I wish he took my one eye, or one arm or one ear, but not my heterosexuality. Now I cant relax. Because I dont want to be bisexual (says a guy who has been bisexual for last 10 years). I think God made me do those things, but there is no point. God is stupid if he exists. I know I can be happy and bisexual, but I dont want to be bisexual and looking for ways to correct it and of course only a miracle can make me a heterosexual again.

I just wanted to be an average person and be happy. God gave me 2 kind of homosexuality. One since my childhood, one initiated by a photo.

I wish I was homophobe, then my second homosexuality would not start. Because homophobia is a defense mechanism and truly defenses men from homosexuality. It is automatic and really helps.

@Buba What you're missing is profound Self-Love, which will heal your self-rejection and self-hatred.

Psychedelics could really help with that, guiding your towards a deeper self-acceptance and forgiveness. Especially MDMA therapy.

It's a shame to see you suffering for years with that stuff unnecessarily when the tools for healing exist. You can heal yourself in a few years of work and live a happy life.

@Buba

There’s no such thing as heterosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals. There is heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality. Sexuality is not a problem, judgement is a problem. But there is in truth no problem, this is the gospel, The Good News. Praying is an outward oriented movement, an emptying out, so that your true self is brought forward, arising from within.

Can you hear yourself while praying? If so, then there is.

You do not blink without it being a miracle. God does not do what you want. You do what God wants.

If you wish to see just how miraculous everything is; The two, as in "he and I", must become one.

Absolutely LEGENDARY.

[Buba]

Why dont ego’s wishes matter? I have only one wish - a medicine which will stop my all sexuality.

[WHO IS]

God creates egos and then doesn't care to help them with at least with the wishes which do not want to cause harm to oneself or others. Like one praying to God to get ones health back. 

So God in all its compassion cannot try to understand the ego from its perspective and help it?  Hmm...

I think there is no God, everything is a coincident.

If you pray for something that does not bring you to Love and are coming from an ego-centered place, then it will end with a monkey's paw kind of a scenario where you will get sort of like something that you want, but there will be a lesson infused within it to teach you to let go of that attachment - and in doing so, this will bring you to Truth.

 

So, is that definitely impossible to practice enlightenment/spirituality while pampering the ego?. What's wrong with an ego?. Of course, Ego craves for more and hardly gets satisfied. So, what?.

If 'I' as a God-given major role for an ego to play. then, why not go through it. Isn't that act of detaching from Ego itself stems from Ego?

There is God but you know it as a concept that have been misused for years and not as an actual experience so it’s corrupted and misunderstood by your ego(False self)

I would suggest you to meditate, practice surrender and self acceptance.

The good news are that life can get better than you think

[WHO IS]

Yeah it can get better for the ones who God choose to get better to. 

 

When God gives disease to one person and not the other, doesn't God discriminate in this case? ?

Accept and love yourself - someone is pedophile and fears if he totally accepts himself he will act on his urges

Normal person can easily accept himself and then tell other people accept yourself.

In accepting yourself you begin to actually see what this entire forum is about. You begin to see through everything you’re saying on this thread.

The root of all is love, the seeking of things & experiences is the seeking of self, of love. By ignoring, suppressing, ostracizing, labeling, identifying, ‘othering’, etc, one is lost in the seeking of self love in all things never finding truth. There is so much you could be doing for yourself, and your full knowing of this and refusal to isn’t helping you or anyone else. I don’t envy that weight, and you could be without it. Love ya man. Open up to possibilities and help.

I wen to aortic valve replacement surgery, got a pacemaker, and had a epileptic seizure. I was about to die 2 times and in my first surgery doctors gave me only %30 to survive, because my aortic valve was about to explode. But these situations made me realize that life can not be this. I have to realize or find something bigger. Thats how i become aware of what i am. 

 is one. God is giving sickness to itself, because if you never get sick, you will never be able to understand important of health. If there is no evil, what will be the importance of goodness? If you never be an human or dual, you can never experience so called non duality or so called god. All is connected. Everything balance itself. 

You are still eating meat. Why do you support to major companies to kill the animals? You are directly a murderer every second, not even aware of it. But if you ask yourself you are good. Lol 

[AlwaysBeNice]

Not if God as the consciousness, which would be the goal to realize, doesn't choose, how could it? What for? What would it need? Why would it care? Like you in deep sleep.

Only a mind can choose, that thinks it has a body, and there are other bodies with needs and desires, then it can seem to influence something, mind form like you or perhaps subtle being or what ever, but these mind forms just came into existence, like bubbles from well, the bubbles didn't choose anything, nor to come into existence, nor did the well, but bubbles can seem to move.

Sometimes there are really intelligent aware bubbles though, that can apparently teach about the water.

This is pretty important to important to realize because, else you start thinking that something greater than you could want something from you, that's paranoia, and you would always be resentful as to why it would choose some beings to suffer and others not, in truth, things just happen because existentially they just come into existence, just because they do and must therefor, see, only such acceptance can bring peace (and yeah, we seem to be able to make decisions, but we didn't make ourselves, nor do we really control much, perhaps no control at all, idk).

But you can still praise the water, the self, ask for help, etc.
