This is absolutely ridiculous.
I'm on a few mental health medications. They all work together to keep me sane and coherent. If I don't have even one of them, I am a mess. I go through a provider and have a doctor through them. He is virtual. I do not have his phone number or his direct nurse's...
Greetings. I will appreciate any help that I can get and sorry for the intervention. Please can you direct me as to how to get a hold of records where I am able to get information from a geographical map containing all the cities and streets in Italy.
Hey!
So basically i’m just here to see if anyone can help me out. I grew up non-religious, but there are some things that i believe in and i’m wondering if there is a specific religion that i relate to.
i believe in reincarnation (but i believe some people are given the choice to stay in the...
Hello everyone,
This is my first post so first of all I would just like to say I look forward to interacting with you all.
So a quick history. I was a firm atheist till I was 27. Then at the birth of my daughter I softened toward religion and start researching.
I have since researched...
Enlightenment involves sudden cessation of thought. Facing that one koan that extinguishes intellectualization and the loss of capacity to further progress past a particular point to where one experiences illumination and falls into the deep pond. Swallows the big fish. Recognizing that space...
I have a schoolproject in which contains a question about Buddha. If anyone can be a Buddha, what do you do to become one? How should you act, live and think?
Kind regards,
Ellen
I wasn't sure where to go with this, so I came here. Just for context, I've never been a particularly religious person, never really believed in any particular higher power or greater evil or anything of that sort. I am, however, a very curious person. I've read the Bible, a bit of the Quran...
Hey everyone! First I'd like to introduce myself, I'm entirely new to religion. My parents led to me discover my own faith rather than push theirs on mine, which leads me to be confused. I've experienced Christianity with parts of my family, but also Catholicism with my other half and also my...
What do you do to share you wealth (spiritually, financially, religiously, psychologically, physiologically) with others?
Do you sacrifice you(rself) to bring well-being unto others?
What have you done for others lately?
Be loud and be proud!
What does your path teach about selflessness?
Do you have a duty to help others? If you answer yes to this, do you have a duty to help those who do not do their best to help themselves?
If you do have a duty to help others, where do you draw the line with regard to helping others at the...
I have a friend and coworker who is an addict.
She is great at what she does, is very smart, but is hindered by her addiction brought forth by lack of self-worth and depression.
Her parents are both dead, and she lost her sister to an overdose. She has a living brother, who, by my assessment...
THE BACK STORY
I’m 16 years old, never experienced a hallucination, if that’s what this was. Some nights I’m forced to sleep with my mom because she thinks I’m going to kill myself. I’ve got some severe depression in my life and for my mom who found me unconscious on the floor when I was nine...
Hey, I know this is a bit selfish to talk about but please hear me out. My boyfriend borke up with me today and when I asked him why he told me this story. He said this: "Your not gonna believe all this, But I went to church yesterday, I went up to the pastor and he prayed, I fell on my knees...
I will start off with something that hopefully won't get me banned, I already got banned on countless sites including facebook for my opinions I just hope you people aren't liberal pansies to report me for my question.
Creatures such as wolves (and coyotes) which are predators are needlessly...
The area where I live has three Sanghas and a temple. The temple is in a remote area that's difficult for me to get to as i don't have a car. I am interested in the Therevana school of Buddhism, but the only Therevana sangha in my area is run by a priest who mixes in leftist ideology with...
Hello there! My name is Pear, and I decided to come to RF on a quest to search for answers. I was raised a Methodist, then I searched into the LDS Church, shortly quit that as it didn't seem right. I drifted away from God, and am slowly losing contact with other Christians I know. I came to RF...
I've been searching for the better half of the last two years. I've read dozens of books from all over the spectrum of beliefs. However, I can't find the right fit. Aspects of some faiths resonate with me, but no one practice I've come across has felt "right."
I was hoping this forum could turn...
Hello, new to these forums, I joined so I can try to understand my beliefs and where they fit into the various religions, or indeed where they don't!
My apologies if this is in the wrong section.
So first I'll give you a quick run over my religious history. I've grown up in an Atheist family...
Hello all. I really hope I am posting in the correct space, and if I am not, that it does not offend too much :)
I am really struggling with trying to figure out where I belong in this life, and a huge part of that is struggling to figure out which religious denomination I match with, so that I...
So. I have been searching my entire life for "the religion". And by that, I mean the one that fits me most. I have tried so, so, so many religions. None of them fulfill my need for a higher power or spirituality. I just can't find it. It is so hard for me to. So, for the list. It is basically a...
