    The sound of God's name

    Chanting God’s various names as a mantra will bring you closer to the Divine. Our languages come out of nature which is direct link to the Creator. Base languages like Sanskrit will always yield “better” results than more advanced languages like English. Look into root words as well.

    Is the current state of Earth not indicative of the Apocalypse?

    More specifically, of the innate link between the spiritual and the manifested physical forms? That all matter is a conscious vibration of the Godhead, or the plane where the thoughts a God may have, enter a realm of lower vibration to manifest themselves as creativity? Hurricanes shaped like...

    Where was God during the Las Vegas shooting?

    Getting laid.

    Peace Doesn't Sell

    It's not literally about making money, its more of a social commentary as to what does and the innate reasoning behind it.

    If there is no self, why am I having this experience?

    You are correct. This is what I've needed to ponder because there isn't anything to ponder. It is.

    Peace Doesn't Sell

    Yes, you reap what you sow. The only thing that judges are ****ty humans, not God.

    Peace Doesn't Sell

    God is a God of love, not a God of judgement. We haven't any permanent instructions to live by, except Karmic Law, or cause and effect. Recall the thief crying out to Jesus on the Cross, with the response "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise". Most of our analyses these...

    Peace Doesn't Sell

    If humans are made in God's image, a reflection if you will, God is an evil little rascal. God has a bit of "irreducible rascality" according to Alan Watts. Humans crave violence, disaster and war through the media or direct interaction due to our primal nature. Who plays a video game where...

    Would you die for God?

    God and Satan are aspects of the same coin. They are referential, just like good and evil, yin and yang, pleasure and pain.

    If there is no self, why am I having this experience?

    Yes, I was an atheist before God/the Angel of Death shoved life and death in my face, making me a member of all faiths. They all say the same thing. "To know thyself is to know Allah" Large rocks in the Universe "people" in the way an apple tree "apples". These peopling rocks then produce...

    If there is no self, why am I having this experience?

    Love and direct experience are my only faiths. Wow how could I leave out one of the most amazing commentaries on astral beings and the Angel of Death. It is "How to Know Higher Worlds" by Rudolf Steiner. And Tao Te Ching is great for most of my general philosophy.

    If there is no self, why am I having this experience?

    A combination of my direct experience, and the books: the Bible, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Be Here Now, Be Love Now, the Psychedelic Experience, and the Dhammapada. I believe a quote very similar from Maharaji, Ram Dass' guru in "Be Love Now" is where I got this notion directly. The...

    If there is no self, why am I having this experience?

    We are sculpted into life by the Angel of Death. Christ never died, His physical body was murdered but His consciousness was continuous and merged with the Atman. In shamanic terms this is the underworld or the realm of the dead. If you've ever used DMT or ayahuasca you will know your soul.

    If there is no self, why am I having this experience?

    I'd like to believe it but I fail to believe the Universe is so loving as to give every person that ever exists enlightenment/liberation. The hostility of the Universe doesn't end with advanced society, there are bigger fish in the realm of consciousness ready to devour you when your stay has...

    If there is no self, why am I having this experience?

    Liberation must be a choice though if we have free will. Another way to put it is loving God must be a choice if there is free will. The alternative to liberation is annhialation which is no experience, so I suppose there is still no suffering if we are either liberated or annihilated.

    If there is no self, why am I having this experience?

    I might also add the Tool song, Swamp Song puts it nicely, although quite hostile, as the Universe is. "Wanderin', wanderin', no one even invited you and you still stumble in".

    If there is no self, why am I having this experience?

    I believe the point would be God is, God is awareness, and namely God is self-evident or self-created by the imagination of yourself... Because of the never ending regression of "Who made the original God?". This is the definition of the eternal, the unborn and the undying. It has existed...

    If there is no self, why am I having this experience?

    This is a common idea in Buddhism. We come out of nature as a wave comes out of the entire ocean before returning. So might one say that the wave is born out of the ocean, and that we are born out of nature?

    Are we fundamentally good or evil?

    Yes.

    Would you die for God?

    How might anything in the Universe be considered unnatural? What is separate from nature? Nothing is separate from nature. Not God, not humans, not Jesus, not I don't believe there's a religion in human history that doesn't have a God or supreme deity that thirsts for human blood. It's like...
