Are Two Souls Better Than One?

[Ali Quadir]

Did you check with a doctor? They can measure the after effects of heart attacks. In the atmosphere of a rave under the influence that you were the heart can sometimes explode with energy. And this can be painful if it's too strong too quickly.

A: I have had my heart checked since and it was in perfect health!

Do you think it could have been an energetic effect?

Did it feel omnipresent and primal? Often people call this experience God. You said elsewhere you don't believe, and that's all right. God is a label we put on an experience.

A: Now not believing in God is my current stance, but to be honest, I really don't care if it exists or not...

I'm agnostic in the sense that I believe that we cannot know for sure, but more importantly, I'm pantheistic in the sense that I believe that we all carry a piece of The Creator within us, but as you say, The Creator is ONE entity which happens to be existing within the illusion that it is separate entities.

Agreed, I don't see God as one entity outside of creation either. It's very much part of it, one with it. You could consider it as standing at the center of every point of perception. In other words I'm a holographic pantheist.. Every little part includes the whole in it. Every little part is simultaneously the totality of the creator.

It's not very accurate in many cases anyway, I'm just curious about what the experience of the entity was like.

A: I could use any number of superlatives to describe my perception of the entity that I belive has now joined me, suffice to say I found the entity beautiffully awesome!!!!!!

Ok, do you think it could have been the conscious totality you encountered?

What did you feel you wanted to accomplish with your mission? I'm assuming you had a sense of direction you wanted events to move towards?

A: My intention was and still is to seek out and share a BS-free Spirituality.
Which, in my opinion, catholicism certainly is not!

I'd say just take from every religion what you like, leave the BS. Philosophy is the study of thought. It teaches us very little about what to believe. But it shows us many ways in which we can think. It's power is in providing roads to alternatives, new ways of looking at things but without a specific belief to subscribe to.

Each religion is an attempt at solidifying a way of dealing with God in a way that makes God accessible to all people. Unfortunately this fails and even more unfortunately in doing so it often paradoxically stops people from finding God because of all the BS involved.

For whatever aforementioned reasons, I don't have any difficulty keeping a level head these days, what I do have difficulty dealing with is the heartbreak I experience on a daily basis reacting to the suffering of my earthling sisters and brothers caused by my earthling sisters and brothers...

But that's why we came here - isn't it???

I honestly don't know. I don't think so. The world is brutal, but like you say it's mostly the people on it causing suffering to the people on it. Hell is other people. Yet I'm assuming we all came here on our own accord. Apparently the suffering is not sufficient deterrent. This world hasn't been bad to me and most of the people I know. I'm assuming totality it's not as bad as it looks on the evening news. Yes there is suffering but amid it are also the flowers in bloom.

This is Ali reporting live from somewhere average with absolutely nothing to report, people are drinking coffee and having a few laughs. Back to you Jim!
