Hi everyone. I feel the need to do this. I think our earth today is sick, mainly because of disbelief and cruelty to ourselves. I was born into many freedoms people today do not have. I have lived most of my life breaking bread with friends, being honest or not saying much at all. People often tried to push me around, or were really insulting for these qualities. Growing up I was always told I was special or "gifted". I started to think I was actually dumb, as i was constantly being taken advantage of- or felt that way at least. I went through a long phase where I did not believe in god, or had much faith in other people. through undeniable religious/spiritual experience, outside and inside of drug use I have to say my faith was 100% irrevocably restored. My physical and mental health were hitting a real low. Doctors had no clue. I eat vegetables rice and fruit now only. Meat and wheat destroy me. I had thought since I can remember that we all have the innate ability to find god, outside of scripture or religious dogma. I never understood what true "selflessness" was although it is spoken of in many if not all the major religions of the earth. I can now tell you an act of selflessness is doing something you swore you would not do for another person. I think even more so giving your life may be an ultimate act of selflessness. I feel now compelled by the world and people around me to act in a very specific way. I hope you all gain understanding through experience of what I am talking about, there is really no way to describe the things I have seen. I do believe in Karma, I believe it is possible to accept all things that have happened as positive things leading to god. Think of the story of lucipher... This was an angel sent out of heaven (sacraficed) by God, the "morning star" to illuminate (educate) the people. In our own solar system there is one planet which rotates opposite the others. It is a permanent ball of flame which never cools, and has winds of 500-1k kph. I do not believe in death. I do believe that lies are the root of many of the worlds troubles today. We live in a world of Duality- which means anything can be interpreted as true or false... Hence the saying a man is only as good as his word. I believe the lies need to stop for us to heal the land and our people. I beg of all of you , to prostate before god. This is the act of placing your head on the floor and praying forgiveness where no one else can see this. It is for you and god alone. It represents your submission to his will. Philosophical and scientific ideologies have left the gaps of misinformation wide open with no attempt to define reality. I must say I originally thought we were free creatures. I now feel we all are being directly influenced by god, or were from the moment of creation... I believe that is called Natural Law. I am just a young man and a student, but please know that I may have seen some things- and I only want what is best for everyone, and in that what is best for me. "You can have your cake and eat it too" Bob Dylan. cant hurt to have a little faith can it? Think about doubt, and how it has negatively affected your life. Try to adopt purely positive intentions and ideologies from all things, science, medicine, philosophy, theology, art... Speak honestly and with gentle care for each other. Do not second guess your instincts. Attempt to feel the energy of being around you- it is subtle. most importantly, seek to learn from all things, and do not give up on "unanswerables" and know also, that it really sucks to be the preacher. Many of you think I am crazy, stupid, etc... think about it.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad your faith is working for you. The "bow your head to the floor" message reflects a certain approach to spirituality that many westerners will find strange. Karma, is of course, a Hindu/Buddhist concept, and submission is another name for Islam. May I ask what religious tradition are you coming from, or are you borrowing from a variety of them?
I am confirmed in the roman catholic faith, and suppose I have adopted primarily to the story of jesus (the man). I do not like church, makes me feel kinda clausterphobic. But yes, lots of study across many different fields has brought me to the place I am at now. Mainly I study film production and the science of light and moving image is quite interesting... Basically it is a representation of experience and in that taps into the way we as humans learn...
If it works for you, go for it. But please don't ask me to step off that cliff with you. I'll choose to stay grounded in the real world, thank you.
i see no reason in bowing to god. if i am of god. so is my reason. if i am not of god. my reason is rational
