The offical random thoughts about Spirituality and Religion thread

[Dameon Farrow]

Real talk I harp on religion but I have seen it do a lot of good for the common man. What some folks need to realize is that some of us don't need it to get through shyt. It's all about a strong will. Some not as strong so they need to believe in certain things to make it through. I'd rather they were on that kick than to go do something stupid. It's just when it gets used for destructive purposes that I have to look at it like.... Historically and presently in many ways...there is more harm than good.

And it's obviously a tool of control. Even if you deny this, you admit it. That's just how ingenious it's design is. You have to marvel at the genius.

If I had to settle for one it would be Buddhism though. Don't see anything in their teachings about slaughtering non believers, which is a true sign of wanting peace and harmony. Not to say Buddhists hands are clean though.

Religion and drugs can be swapped interchangeably because they are both forms of escape from day to day hardships..... Some use the bottle some use the bible.... If that's how you find peace cool...... Don't need a book to tell me God is real, seen him work with my own two eyes... Plus my 2 year old has seen angels on numerous occasions...... Believe heaven and hell are here on earth.... Don't believe in hell in the afterlife because the hell that's been described is a physical one.... How can a spirit be tormented with no vehicle to experience it? God is a like a car manufacturer.... Makes you and sends you own your way and won't intervene until something is seriously wrong in your life like a recall for a defective air bag..... Jesus was a man that just listened to what his conscious told him to do..... By constantly doing so he was able to activate the God in him...... He studied in Egypt....

need to come back to this.

I believe that life is a test by God. How you treat others in this life is reciprocal to what your reward/standing will be in the eternal afterlife. I believe that people who devote their life to serving in this short, blink of an eye life will have it much better than those who lie, cheat, and steal. That's why I don't get mad about racism and discrimination. Whatsoever a man sow's, that shall he also reap....

I identify with Christianity

Oh yeah....... Reincarnation is real....the only explanation I can think of for babies being born with serious birth defects....Karma for atrocities committed in previous lifetimes....ie a baby being killed during a war.... That baby might have been a ruthless soldier that raped women and killed infants and found pleasure in doing so in a previous lifetime..the karma for that baby was to experience the same death he inflicted in others....

I dont necessarily agree

That's coo.... How you see it king? Just trying to rationalize in my head why Lil ones suffer so much when all they did was be born..

I think that's too simplistic. Karma isn't a fixed thing like x=z because y happened. The word Karma itself literally means action. Everything anyone does is Karma is some way shape or form. Also it's impossible to know what anyone has done in the past

I can respect that.... My only thing with that is I feel like I have been here before plus I have experienced deja vu too many times in my life.... When I read certain things on previous societies and what not it resonates with me for some reason a spiritual level.... Felt like I was there..... One of the many things I have read over the years was using the hypothesis that there is a cosmic wheel and that one soul will experience more than one life time and you have the memories from the past lives in your current incarnation... When something activates those memories we experience a certain vibration.... One other theory was that whole societies reincarnate at the same time to work thru previous transgressions from another time..... How much of that is truth only God knows the answer too...... Do you ever feel like you have been here before? If so you are an old soul and this just one of the many lifetimes you will experience...

I get deja vu sometimes as well. I believe in some form of reincarnation/rebirth but I'm not sure how that works exactly

you gotta believe in something

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I don't understand why militants think Jesus and Yaweh are white. That just plays into the hands of what whites were trying to do. A string grasp of history lets you know 100% white a shadow of a doubt Jesus is NOT white. Classic brainwashing

 

[Taharqa]

How can a black person pray to a white god?

 

[ProfessionallyTrill]

Im agnostic but there gotta be a higher power out there somewhere

I guess this is the perfect thread to post in. I'm about 3 months in to daily meditation and about a year into my spiritual journey.
I can communicate with my angels as I call them. I can actually tell y'all all the otherworldly things that have happened to me but you'll think I'm crazy lol. I'm looking into becoming a reiki practitioner on the side with my meditation sessions (they're urging me to do that so finna do it)

All my chakras are open and kinda balanced, I really want to work on hearing the inner voice a little louder.
Abundance has been real for me since I told God and the angels I'm ready for the journey. I'm hoping to slowly wake up the rest of my close amigos so they can reach their potential. I've done soooo much in the last 3 months than I've done in the last year.
