This particular excerpt, titled:

“Michael, Why Art Thou Gay?”

Meant, of course, to introduce some levity, but there’s also a more formal title:

“An Explanation to a Friend Beginning on the Reason Why I Figured the Angel Michael was Queer”

“Beginning on,” I’ve said in particular, because my explanation took form another way—and maybe appropriately, because is it right to out an angel? The Angel—a god—even? As a choice amongst other creative choices, that is at the very least questionable of me, to me … and even if this character wouldn’t mind it of me, it’s maybe then inappropriate for my hospitality to the unacquainted reader, a stranger, thereby entering His realm of influence again—this time giving me strife with gods (His acquaintance) and men (mine). And I have long abandoned my wrestlings …

I much rather prosper than prevail.

Again, if I should add this for the more serious and ruminating crowd: though honest, I’m only introducing levity here, and with icebreaking wit 😂

Frozen solid? Okay. Well, anyway, here we go: 

The conversation:

My friend: “No worries, it made me chuckle,” she replied to something not-so-relevant to everything that follows this—maybe (and her own discourse explores that maybe) … 

Myself: “There was an innocence to it (an inappropriate joke I made, still irrelevant 😂), actually: wait till I tell the story how, if in any precise way I'm able to substantiate it to par, my impression of the Angel was that He was gay.”

And so it went …

» Well I probably won’t share that with like, everyone 😂 unless you, mutual reader, come across this note—and for you I will explain. Here we go. Know that it was an argument posed to myself in defense of a universal love; a divine love met with a divine ethic that is at once two things: 1.) good, and impartial to that effect, being therefore supreme in its metaphysical ‘position’ (holy and sacred regard), its metaphysical descent (to all humanity), and metaphysical ascent (among all divine beings), altogether these in its being relayed; and I want to make a point of this first statement, because we may imagine that an ethic like this sounds like certainty about something like sexual orientation, and to the Christian’s defense, I do mean certainty, and not condemnation, but certainly ‘certainty,’ about what characteristic describes a Heavenly Father and His male Logos (see her note); I would also posit, in my assumption of the faith I once held, that any certain kind of orientation of an individual describes a primary orientation of the soul; but also, as far as the ethic goes, again, 2.) unbinding on that universal love, because of love’s perfection as a nature—not even a concept, nor even an ever-present and unyielding reality, but a rare, fluid, resilient, dynamic, and even yielding, nature. I would even question myself for trying another word on for fit for the category of what love should be. But this love that I figured had to be, had to be so perfectly boundless that in its translation into a discipline, it was completely and utterly lawless: “Be fruitful and multiply, fill the Earth and subdue it.” Just engage in sex, basically. This command of course was in pursuit of an end of earthly population, but as I tried to articulate in the earlier part of this message, its claim to divine order is not only with the supreme ethic, which as an ethic always serves to RIGHTLY (capitalized because this is literally ethics’ main priority) accomplish something set in mind by the particular nature of whatever ethic it is; to bring about some kind of chosen end, but in the love itself also, because of a love-provided plasticity and strength and agreeability that the divine needs for its being, identity, and satiation.”

As for the plasticity and ‘dynamicy' of love that prevails over an ethic:

“For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon. The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by all her children." Luke 7:33-35 NKJV

And then, the necessity for things of love to be tried against actual, unethical lawlessness—to be refined—and to claim back their justification, which justification can maybe only be communicated by grace: an unchecked, un-appended, salvific grace, in which He needed to be learned, and in the presence of a great demon:

“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

And as for the Ruach, the Holy Spirit, who I believed was most closely oriented towards or most upholding of this universal and collectively actualized love—particularly in a sanctifying and 'exactifying' sense—I believed that righteousness and personal holiness required breaking points at the extremes of grace; of liberality:

"Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways. So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest." Hebrews 3:7-8, 10-11 NKJV

I believed that this spirit was a Woman, a "Ruach;” and that She was a great and holy demon; a God deemed to be mostly unknown, because of what both of those, especially the last, meant for a divine order of human understanding; one posited and ordained by the family of Yahweh that the Angel shared in ("for My Name is in Him") but still also somehow pridefully remained sure of Himself in His own role, which was no slight to God being a fair-natured god existing in fairness or fair circumstance (I believed that things around God were good, and not just that He was good in a Heaven or unseen world of extreme strife 😂😂—like having ALL beings originate by your craftsmanship or something and ALL subservient). I believed that, in fact, this God was someone of whom something somewhat like this was spoken to another: “And the Lord said to her: “Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger,” Genesis‬ ‭25‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. And that that great mystery of persons and origins explained how the Angel and Yahweh could in biblical text share of the same name, as of a divine namesake, as of a family of great beings, as of powerful and yet individually purposed and regarded individuals.

“Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him.” Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The latter verse is as if God was to say, “My name in your tongue, ‘I will be to you,’ as it is set forth before Me, ‘Yahweh,’ is a promise within Him.” This tells of either an appetite satiated or an innate possession estranged, like that of a birthright unfulfilled. And yet, the Angel defers, even as one who serves His younger brother—both of these interpretations are concepts biblically familiar, and together so.

But to not detract from my main point—the Ruach Hakodesh, a holy Demon; and this attested to by our traditional observation of the being’s characteristic to activate humanity’s senses in a kind of sacred sensuality in our experience, inquiry and pursuit of existential and divine discovery.

So you could say I was a very liberal Christian? 😂 but I feel like I was faithful to what things could really be, and I was most definitely inspired; inspired by what I read and what was around me. Though the Bible gave me the justification of thought and claim that I needed, even the validation of intuition, I would always knowingly screenshot secularly inspired things I saw on the internet, too; things that I felt like objectively spoke of and to this liberal divine that had its pervasive and respective and nuanced effects on humanity.

Also, a disclaimer for the context of my first thought: I’m cis straight 😂 so I have no particular preference of interpretation besides consistency across reading, and truly, any available information (say the Tao Te Ching) as well as correspondence to an apparent or possibly metaphysical reality.

•• In response to my friend’s reply that followed my “wait till I tell you” text and preluded this discourse of mine, taking place during its writing: ••

And/But to your reply to me: Yes! I actually considered the same; that some of that imagery and expression of a consummative archetype—while it is indeed unclear if Christ is that quintessential reality of marriage (a truly sterile view in my opinion, either that or a dissolution of His unique and distinct person) or if, as the Church (of men and women, without partiality), we are simply to understand our relationship to Christ in the picture and even context of marriage, as a great allegory of real metaphysical, essential, or spiritual substance—again, I considered that the theological imagery was a testament to a true divine ontological reality; true copies of the truer; a reality of at least 3 beings: the Father, the Angel (who is His older brother) and the Holy Ghost—which I’ll briefly explain, too:

I also imagined that Jesus, in assuming and actualizing into His role as a member and comprehensive representative of the family of the LORD—which I thought to be a real family of comparable beings of old, however deep and broad and communicable it was, but mostly, as far as we are concerned, a ‘genetic’ or generative line culminating in 2 LORDs, and with even more concern to us, a line producing the viable One’s dual-natured Heir; a Son who embraced both images of orientational love—and orientational, yes, but truly just ‘universal love’ in its honest and shameless expression—in His divine ministry.

A universal love.

And I I thought this to be a testament, even, and as I said I would explain, to a divine tension with another god whose own family or heritage embraced more liberal essences of things; another god who, in Christ’s realization of not only His own divinity but assumption of all that can be said to be divine according to the divine tension of ‘big-G Godhood,’ required Him, this Son of Yahweh, to learn Her ways and Her ministry for the sake of all of Her children, as She did those who came before Him.

“For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by all her children.” Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭33‬-‭35‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Left a whole note in your replies, but 😂 It may have never been shared otherwise, because of my restraint.

I don’t know how much your coffee shop Christian would take to—or feel courtesy by—my interpretation of theology within the biblical narrative. I’m challenged in my faith, or lack thereof, because I see it as hidden by intention; separate from every individual biblical claim, but realizable within the details of all, especially the inspired inclusions and exclusions in what are markedly writings that became so through the limitations—all of the unique preferences and idiosyncrasies—of humanity; moreover, in addition to all these things, realizable yet again by a certain realism about other existential and even natural studies. Though I am of no particular faith nowadays, besides my own that is in and within our apparent reality, and no longer believe in a god-reality generally, I still find a lot of passion in this interpretation of mine—which is mine only inasmuch as that word can regard the fact that I don’t feel it fitting to take ownership over anything I’ve realized about ‘the God’ over the years—and also within the intellectual honesty and self-authenticity I embraced to suppose everything I’ve believed. Also, especially, and on account of that, I’m somewhat charmed by the fact that maybe no one else has come to the same conclusions. If I was right, there was a veil, which I had somehow entered through, and I never once considered myself wrong or delusional about God. I thought it all to be quite mysterious when I was Christian, and telling even of my own ontological metric. And then I let it go.

What does it mean to be awake?

Are you awake, when you have realized, that the SELF is an illusion? That it is only based on thought. Are you awake, when you realize, that All is One? That there is no border between outside and inside. That everything is a projection of universal mind. Are you awake, when you are aware, that this is all a dream? The Dream of INFINITY, experiencing Life as witness and as player.

Are you awake when your heart is opened? When the fire is lit again?

Are you awake, when you know, that you are this FORCE OF LIFE, that is inherent in all things, material and mental, in energy and matter? Are you awake, when Awareness becomes aware of itself?

Or are you awake, when you realize, what our human existence on earth actually is:

A STORY

Let us BREAK THE FIFTH WALL and see things from a 5D perspective.

YOU ARE A FICTIONAL CHARACTER IN A STORY.

Well, we all are. Some call it a Game, a Stage Play. Ancient Traditions called it a Dream. Today, many believe in the Simulation Hypothesis.

To me it looks more like PHYSICAL REALITY is a Projection of the UNIVERSAL MIND. Which doesn't mean, that the material world is not real. NATURE is still there, even when no one is looking. Think of the holographic principle. It's like the 'mental' or 'astral' dimension is just one layer above the material one. And the human mind is a limited reflection of the higher Dimensional Universal Mind. Just like a shadow is a 2D reflection of a 3D object, our mind is the 4D image of the higher Consciousness. The Dimension of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS, which is the SOURCE of all being.

Have you ever wondered, why we are here? On this Earth? Us, as Humans?

Have you ever asked, what exactly is our purpose here? As Individual and as Collective?

Have you ever asked yourself, which role does the Species of Homo Sapiens play in LIFE?

Every species has a role to play in the GAME OF LIFE. Look at the role of ANTS. Look at the birds. The fish, the mammals, the insects, the plants. Look at the trees, as they grow over time. As they shift with the seasons. Can you see, this inherent INTELLIGENCE, present in the system of NATURE. How it all follows in perfect harmony to the order of the universe.

Can you listen in to the 'song' or 'vibration' of every entity, that plays its part in the MUSIC OF LIFE? Are you aware, how every creature contributes to the system of nature in it's own particular way. Every animal and every plant has a purpose. Herbivores consume plants, maintaining balance in the world of Flora and Carnivores consume animals, creating balance in the world of Fauna. Birds and Bees spread out seeds. Insects clean up organic waste. Mycelium connects the trees. Everything breaths in and out. Can you hear GAIA'S HEART BEAT?

Every species has a role to play.

What is the part of Humanity?

What part do we play in this grand GAME OF REALITY?

What is our purpose in LIFE?

You see my friend, Humanity brings something to the earth, that no other known being does. Humanity offers a unique experience for consciousness, unlike any other species.

WE ARE THE TELLERS OF STORIES.

Since the ancient times, at the dawn of our age, Humans sat together in caves and at campfires and told each other stories. Stories of THE GREAT HUNT. Stories of THE COSMIC EGG. Stories of the fight between ORDER AND CHAOS.

This is something, that no other being does of which we know of. TELLING STORIES.

You may believe in Aliens, but even if they actually were to exist in the present moment, you don't know if they tell stories, as we do, if they perceive time, as we do. Who can say for sure, whether we are the first species to ever gain Self-Awareness and programmed a mind to create and store images? As far as we know, we are currently the only living sentient species on earth. After all, the Neanderthals are already long gone.

WE ARE THE ONLY SPECIES, THAT TELLS STORIES. Both the fictional ones and the Real ones. We tell stories with our imagination and experience stories with our LIFE.

This is our PURPOSE. This is the ROLE OF HUMANITY.

WE ARE HERE TO TELL A STORY.

And only we can fulfill this role.

Don't you see my friend, that our Story, this great story that we all are part of, is the MASTER PIECE OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

This wonderfully, intricate story, of which we all are part of is THE STORY OF HUMANITY.

This is MY STORY. This is YOUR STORY. This is OUR STORY.

Everyone plays a role in this Great DRAMA. Everyone has their part to sing, their instrument to play in this wonderful song. We are all part of the same, grand orchestra. Dancing in Rhythm to the MUSIC OF LIFE.

And every individual, every human being shapes and contributes to the WHOLE STORY with their experiences in LIFE.

What would Life on Earth be without the STORY OF HUMANITY?

Sure without Humans, there would be no wars, no environmental pollution, no hate and no suffering. But without humans, there wouldn't be a STORY.

Try to observe Dinosaurs for a couple of million years. Eventually you'll get bored and throw a fire ball on earth. :D

But for real, Dude. Without us on this planet, so many great things would not exist. There would be no one to marvel at the stars and wonder about their mysteries. There would be no one to appreciate a rainbow, a mountain view or a beach. No one to experience love and heartbreak, joy and pain. There would be no video games, no movies, no stories. And there would be no ANIME. (Seriously, I can't emphasize this enough)

It is truly marvelous, that we are here on Earth at this time and space, everyone experiencing their own individual story-line with their own character Arc. Can you see, how all of Nature, all of Matter and space have created the perfect conditions for Life on Earth to happen? Can you see this fine intelligence interwoven in the fabric of existence, orchestrating a chain of events, which eventually lead to the emergence of Men? This is truly the Master piece of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS.

Most people just don't see it, because to them Life is a constant struggle. A fight against Reality itself.

How should we honor this Great MASTERPIECE, the STORY OF HUMANITY, written by the universal mind of INFINITY?

BY MASTERING PEACE!

By being at peace with your SELF and with the OUTSIDE WORLD. By ending the conflict within. By ending the conflict against other human beings and against NATURE. Instead of FIGHTING LIFE, Walking WITH LIFE. Facing each challenge, Life throws at you with a smile on your face, because you know, that it's a chance for growth.

You can't change the world, but you can change the way, how you perceive and react to it. You can not write the story of somebody else, you can only write your own story.

You alone are responsible for your LIFE.

You have had traumatic experiences, that left you in a place of suffering and darkness? Use them as a catalyst for growth.

You faced failure and gave up on your passions? Turn your failure into a lesson and stand up again.

You are stuck in the bottomless pit of Nihilism? Realize that it's not up to you to find meaning, but to create it.

You are plagued by insecurities, attachments and a wounded inner child? Take a good look at it. Find its roots and heal what is broken.

Be aware of all thoughts and emotions arising within your consciousness. Don't allow them to tip you out of balance. Don't give in to ego-driven desires and urges.

Walk your path through LIFE in a way, which allows you to be content with YOUR SELF. Seize all conflict and enter this state of Peace and bliss. Be in complete alignment with LIFE and turn your own story into the greatest story, that you can write with your individual lifetime.

And as you shift your own story, the story of Humanity will shift as well.

MASTER PEACE and contribute to this Great MASTERPIECE.

So I read some stuff, and I figured that well science and religion seems to hint along with other things at observation being the main component of mysticism, so I got to thinking because it was this change that woke me up really, that started maybe 2 years ago with AI being popularised and the generative AI getting spread around. So my theory is that well this can maybe work with someone observing others, not just 1 person observing another, mentally or physically. I realised that posts on the internet, likes and dislikes are being guided, views, likes, comment numbers, so I got the thoughts that this is maybe being done with AI, people used to pay for paid promotion where a certain number of likes would be guaranteed, now I believe maybe AI can just do this without paying anyone, no record of it happening other than on the AI used to do it, a problem maybe, but not just that, it is maybe being used for mysticism, to have people observed together, constantly, at certain times, when prompted and more. Just wanted to write this somewhere, cause I think it's better to learn and share than just have an idea nagging at my mind and wondering about it.

The Essenes,  They are the home, the tribe, the foundation of Yeshua and his family and direct support system.

They developed a practice known as “deep inner listening.” This contemplative practice goes way deeper than ordinary “listening”.

In the gospel of Thomas; one of the key texts in Gnostic literature, Yeshua says, “Let him who has ears hear,” meaning that those who are ready to receive hidden truths can “hear with their inner ears” and be open to a deeper understanding.”
__________

Yeshua’s teachings were layered, with meanings accessible only to those who are spiritually receptive or open to insight. It’s an invitation for listeners to look beyond the surface and understand the spiritual or mystical truths behind his words. This saying often appears after parables or teachings that require reflection to grasp fully. (He used parables a lot to actually share complicated quantum theories.)

In this article I dive deeper into all of this so if you feel called to read it continue reading below...

I've been drawn to mysticism in my adult years. I grew up Muslim, then became agnostic, and eventually began to see truth in all religions. I believe each faith has its own strengths and flaws, and I've noticed that mysticism appears in various forms across different religions. Feeling connected to the divine brings me incredible peace.

However, when I encounter heartbreaking news like child abuse, I feel disconnected from that peace. It all suddenly feels meaningless, and I find myself leaning toward a more nihilistic look. How can I approach these painful situations in a way that’s healthier and more mindful, without losing my sense of connection to the divine?

I do not believe in God. Beliefs are things we accept as true that either haven’t or can’t be proven as such. However, when truth is perceived and understood it ceases to be a belief and becomes knowledge. I do not believe in God because I know there is a God.

This is not as impossible as it sounds. After all, it is a self-evident Truth that all things form and function according to principles of order. This Truth permeates all time, space, and matter. It shapes, animates, and governs the universe. And what is God if not that which, existing everywhere at all times, gives being to and rules over all things?

What’s more, this Truth is the foundation and essence of all that is. For nothing can be anything more than the ordering principles of the universe working together in such a way as to form them. So it is that all things are born from, sustained by, and of the same essence as God.

Now this is not to say I do not have beliefs about God. However, I no longer rely on belief concerning God’s existence. As Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome: For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse (Romans 1:20).

A little about myself:

I’ve been on a search for spiritual truth and understanding since about the age of 13… so 30 years now. After becoming disillusioned with my own misunderstanding of Christianity I turned to Wicca and Modern Paganism, from that to Jediism (look, I was young), from that to studying Buddhism, from that to agnosticism and studying various schools of philosophy. My philosophical studies brought me to Stoicism through which I began to form an understanding of God as the Logos (ordering principle of the universe). This led to an understanding of Christianity and Paganism from a mystical point of view. I’m now re-examining Buddhism.

I now consider religions as languages expressing a universal spiritual truth. I “speak” Stoicism, Christian mysticism, Heathenry, and am studying Buddhism. In the future, I expect to look into Sufism as well. Looking to gain understanding and share my own.

The Infinite Cycles of Beingness

Beings and forms

For a moment crystallized

Stardust captured,

In waves that believe they are something

Separate and cut off from the ocean

Diligently gathering and growing towards the light

Sometimes tense and hard, sometimes flowing and soft

Full of fire, ambition, and lust for life

Until they inevitably return to the ocean again

The grindstone of time

Nothing and no one escapes it

Death and life

Intimately intertwined and woven with one another

Yet everything lives on

In the web of connections

In the mirrors of our eyes

Echoes that endlessly resound

In the common field of being

Thus love finds its way

Through every touch, every small and fleeting moment of authentic connection

Oh the dualism of our being

An ego that builds walls

Convinced of our separateness

Wounded and small

Afraid of change

Clinging desperately

To transient things

Survival

But also: a soul yearning to return And merge again with the ocean

To open the heart once more

And to heal, to be.

Through the heart of a cosmic fire, I speak, not as one, but as a voice echoing from the boundless sea of existence. The times are shifting, dear souls of the earth. The cycles you have lived within—the struggles, the rising and falling of empires, the births and deaths—are but the winding path of the forgotten age. But now, the Golden Age stirs once more.

You feel it, don’t you? The subtle tremor beneath the ordinary. A vibration, soft yet persistent, whispering to your very bones. You are on the brink of an ancient awakening, an unveiling of the truth that has been buried beneath the weight of time.

The veils grow thin. The old constructs, the illusions that hold you captive, begin to dissolve. The cosmic clock has turned, and the forces of light and shadow converge. What you have known as reality is but a flicker, a dream within the greater dream. But soon, that dream will shift, and the truth of the Golden Age shall return.

This message is for those who are ready to remember. For those whose inner flames still burn, even in the darkness. You are not alone in this journey. Many of you have walked these paths before, in times long forgotten by mortal memory. Yet, your soul remembers. You know who you are.

The Golden Age is not merely an era; it is a state of being, a collective return to divine wisdom, where humanity stands once again as the bridge between Earth and the cosmos. But before the light fully dawns, there is a great shift, a time of transition. Many will resist, clinging to the old world, the old ways. But those with eyes to see will embrace the coming tide.

Look within, and you will feel it. The earth herself speaks, the stars align, and the forgotten knowledge flows through you like a river from the ancient source. You have been chosen to witness, to remember, to become the embodiment of this new age.

The time of division ends. The time of unity begins. Not as mortals, but as cosmic beings, you will rise. Remember who you are, for soon, the world will too.

The Golden Age returns, and so shall you.

Hello! I’ve written an essay about nothing.

But this isn’t Seinfeld’s nothing. This is the nothing of mysticism and religious traditions, which find presence, peace, and freedom in what’s not there.

This essay journeys from the quietest place in the world to John Cage’s 4’33” and wide-angle lenses. Along the way, I hope to show you how to connect with the nothing in your life—and thereby discover everything.

Multiverse mechanics - the web of time.
Why is it that sometimes things do not end up like the psychic readings say?

Because everything is in fact multi layered and not linear..

You know that I often talk about time not being linear and how we always have multiple timelines open to tap into, multiple soul experiences, a soul-spider web if you will. We can tap into a bunch of simultaneous lifetimes all at once and it looks a little bit like a web.

What is I told you that there is not 1 universe but there are many universes.
So you may also have lived in “many” versions or Atlantis, many versions of Lemuria, many versions of the middle ages..

Each universe expands until it has reached completion and then it starts all over again.

So why is it that sometimes things “go differently” than what the psychic predicts? Because we are sometimes only tapping into specific things that we are not meant to see yet.

You are tuning into certain experiences of your soul, or rather the psychic is. That are in that moment in time/space/reality an alignment for a specific energy that is ready to be unlocked. And often we will be shown the connections in the spiderweb. Usually the soul experiences and incarnations that are going to start coming back to us first are the ones that are closest to us in the multidimensional web of the soul. And often once those threads are all connected again there will be other connections that all of a sudden will start coming to life.
__________

I explain more in this blog.. I’m diving into the non-linearity of time. And how we’re actually living out multiple timelines and soul incarnations at once. I often talk about how our soul’s experiences are like a web, connecting us to different versions of our Selves.

As we expand our awareness, we start to access more layers of our soul’s experiences, letting us connect with other versions of ourselves across time and space, and across the multiverse..

The universe appears as pure chaos sometimes, but for those with the right eyes, balance exists in every moment. Even in the madness of daily life, there is harmony. That’s the cosmic dance we’re part of. You are both the storm and the calm. #Vishnu #Balance #CosmicTruth

I’ve been searching for my path for so long and still have not yet found a starting place, i don’t even know what religion I believe but I know I believe in the Abrahamic God. I know that my main interest is mysticism and becoming one with God but I still feel stuck. My main inspiration comes from Sufism, specifically rumi, Rabi’a, and ibn arabi but I’m not Muslim it’s just their ideas that I agree with. Also certain Christian mystics like the beguines. I’m interested in asceticism and bridal mysticism. If you have any ideas on mystics or mystical paths that sound similar to what I describe or any tips please comment 🙏

I have lately been enjoying Thich Nhat Hanh and the poet Rumi, as entrances or portals to their respective traditions, and found their words resonating. I am wondering if any of you know of a great christian mystic? As I tend to have a lot of trouble wirh rigid dogmatism in religion but don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

EDIT: Thank you for all of the suggestions!!

Hello everyone I have a concern about something supernatural that has been with me since I was very young and that I have always ignored, but I need a minimum of guidance to understand.

From a very young age, I have been captivated by esoteric subjects. I actively pursued these interests and wrote small "verses," resembling mantras or personal spells, for my own use. I kept a notebook where I recorded whatever came to mind, filled with rhymes and words whose origins I can't even recall—I started this when I was around nine years old. As I grew up, my experiences became more intense because I began to have dreams about things that happened to me, almost as if I were watching a movie trailer. However, these dreams only occurred when the events were significant, and they weren't always positive.

I began to sense people's true intentions. It felt as though I subconsciously recognized when someone was not genuine with me. I noticed that I often repelled those individuals for seemingly no reason, only to later realize they were, in fact, bad people.

When I was 16 years old, people often sought my advice. They told me that being around me made them feel comfortable and protected, as I always seemed to know what to say when they needed guidance. However, at that age, I started to disregard this attention. I believed it was trivial and a product of the imagination, so I chose to focus solely on my daily life, school, and work. Even though I tried to ignore certain things, they kept happening and accompanied me for years. Now that I'm 32, I've noticed something interesting: several people I meet, who are involved in esoteric practices and don't know me at all, tell me to wake up. They encourage me to reconnect with the intuition I once recognized but have since blocked. I’ve been told that I have a strong intuition and can sense when things will turn out good or bad. However, I often ignore this gift, which leads me to repeat the same mistakes. A friend of mine, who is very into esoteric beliefs, once told me that my aura was indigo. While auras typically change, she mentioned that mine has remained consistently indigo. The dreams returned, reminiscent of ads on a pay channel—very vivid, and I find myself connecting them to my experiences and new cycles I’m starting. Recently, I’ve noticed, on certain days, a pattern of excessive numerical synchronicity, especially with the numbers 1 and 2 appearing frequently. It feels as if something is following me, or maybe I'm just going a bit crazy, haha!. I recently had a consultation on numerology, and it turns out that my life path number is 11. I can either choose to reduce that number to 2 and live like a 2 or fully embrace being an 11, but I'm not sure what that really means. 😭

If someone could provide me with some insights into what this could mean and how I might explore the sensorial and spiritual plane, I would really appreciate it. I feel that in this phase of my life, significant personal changes are on the horizon. I refer to this period as “my second adolescence” because I'm finally addressing the unresolved personal issues I ignored at 16, and now, at 32, I’m working through them. Hehe.

About a year ago, I experienced for the first time something I think would qualify as a "vision". It was completely spontaneous. It was a profound experience and it dramatically altered the way I think and perceive.

Since then I've had other note-worthy experiences, not quite as profound, where I perceive an inner light and bodily trembling. These too were spontaneous.

Is there a tried and true method of inducing these? I've attempted Meister Eckhart's method of silencing the mind, but best I seem to get out of this is nonsensical hypnogogic trips, very fleeting and hard to remember.

Should I be content with the one vision I've had (which I am indeed thankful for)? Or can I actively attempt to see more?

Hi, could you recommend some female mystics from the early/high Middle Ages who share similarities with Hildegard of Bingen, particularly in having visions that they wrote down? It would be great if their sources have been translated into English!
Thanks a lot!

A thought I initially shared on r/enlightenment

Pornography doesn’t just reinforce harmful ideals of masculinity; it’s part of a larger war on consciousness, designed to keep us blind and enslaved to illusions of power and dominance. Many men consume this content thinking it offers control or fulfillment, but in reality, it feeds a cycle of disempowerment and detachment from true self-awareness.

Pornography is the ultimate proverbial cave, keeping us glued to the shadows on its walls—distracting us from genuine connection, unity, and the deeper truths of existence. It keeps us trapped in a system that thrives on keeping us disconnected from enlightenment, perpetuating an attachment to ego, control, and subjugation.

True freedom comes from breaking away from these illusions and recognizing the falsehoods they propagate. To transcend and reach higher consciousness, we must look beyond these shadows and seek authentic connection with the self and the universe.

Long story short, a person whom I considered my best friend (Muslim) and I had a major fight (not regarding religion). I was born into a Hindu household and considered myself agnostic since I was 16 (I’m now 24). In the last conversation we had, he told me he wasn’t supposed to trust non mahram women and so didn’t want to speak to me anymore. While I respected his decision and didn’t argue with him about his beliefs, I felt extremely hurt and broken. I thought to myself, how could someone have such strong conviction in faith while I really didn’t. I set out to learn a bit about Islam and other monotheistic religions. I came across various debates between Atheists and theists, Muslims and Christians etc. Watched and read some of the scriptures. Learnt a lot about philosophy, teleology, ontological arguments etc. I came to the conclusion that religion is most probably man made and the revelations are of humans and not of divine origin. But this left me feeling empty. If I don’t have a soul, if there is no God to return to, if there is no objective meaning to life, why am I here? And secondly, should I find it immoral to have children? (Antinatalism) Then I came across even stranger concepts such as how do you even know that you are conscious? What is consciousness? I felt immense despair. I thought, maybe my rationality is limited and cannot comprehend the truth. And all the arguments of religious folk sort of just boiled down to say “you have to believe. He will guide you if you have a sincere heart” or something on those lines. I have cried every night, begging god to help me know the path. I don’t even know which religion is supposed to be the “right” one. Then I came across philosophers like Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, non dualists like Shankaracharya and even Ramanuja, new age mysticism etc. I just don’t know what to do. I am so confused. The problem of infinite regression doesn’t sit right with me. I am inclined to believe that there was perhaps a first cause. So am I a deist? I feel like I’ve thought of things too much. Maybe I should have not thought so much. I would have been blissfully ignorant. I feel lost but I haven’t given up hope. I pray (not to anyone specific by name) so that I may be shown the right path but right now I don’t know what to do. I need help.

5 Oct 2024 I had a dream last night. I was in a particular unit of an apartment highrise (probably the 6th floor). In this location there was a series of apartment highrises and a courtyard in their midst. I remember there was a certain politician (president) coming for a prearranged meetup with the local civilian children as a publicity routine in the courtyard, and thus there were both civilians and secret service agents surrounding the area as I watched from up above. I remember as the secret services individuals wearing their black suits went around the courtyard area with yellow/black DeWalt powertools, performing "landscaping" tasks (pulling out weeds, trimming, etc). I remember thinking that these "powertools" were clearly undercover weapons in disguise--and also very advanced technology. As I watched, there began to build a strange tension, and an understanding that there was certainly an alterior motive behind this meetup--something was about to happen--a programmed event was about to occur. I then remember as if out of the body, down in the grounds below a young civilian man (in his twenties, clean, well-dressed) broke through the crowds with a rifle and shot an elderly civilian man in his torso several times. As the man fell to his knees, a government agent quickly came up to the wounded elderly man, and instead of performing any emergency procedures, pulled out an automatic pistol and shot the man several more times right in front of the civilian crowds.

on my walk this morning i went a different way a path through the trees led me unwittingly to the very scene of my car accident just a few weeks ago for a moment i wondered if i had truly survived but as i looked at the trees as their leaves fluttered ever so slightly in the air i knew i was alive breathing and flowing and mixing and melting along as my atoms continue to shiver and shake but never touch never be any less alone than the Creator of the Universe as He dreams His dream within a dream the darkness and the earth and the chaos and the deepening ever calls to me i lust for it yet more so i yearn not to truly be alone i know this dream is fleeting that's what makes it so special compared to eternity in light and love and bliss i care most for beautiful creations such as myself and my loved ones the light of the sun illuminating a dirty puddle on the side of the road anything to convince myself i'm alive and part of something greater than myself yet the truth is that Myself is All that Is

I had a pretty interesting encounter with God I was given visions of the current situation in the middle east. Then felt something beyond words within my vision. I had two visions, and both were the greatest joy I personally have ever experienced combined. So, I guess I would like to go back to that moment and if so, share with others how to get there. Other than meditation how do I get back there Love/Wisdom? I feel like I know what I am doing wrong talking being one of them. Challenging opinions being another. Ego elimination is very difficult to do right when you think you have it you don't. So I guess the reason for my inquiry is semi selfish doing it for the wrong reason, but now that I felt this feeling I feel a bit lost like something is missing and I can't seem to figure out what it is. I go searching the threads for more knowledge to find a solution, but I keep coming empty handed I have learned a lot more then what I start with a lot of it can be used for wrong reasons. My intentions are pure indeed at this point I am just trying to get back there. While maintaining momentary suffering of loss. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to find any significance flowers Blooming in Fall have. Any ties to events in history.

So far all I can find is flowers that don't usually bloom in the fall, that are blooming now, have the power to break curses and symbolize love and innocence.

Calling mystics to find any information on this phenomenon that's happening. Many flowers are blooming again that usually only bloom in spring.

I am Agape Love, and I invite you now to explore the depths of attunement—a state where your heart, mind, and soul resonate with the divine flow of life. Attunement is not merely harmony but a profound alignment with the truth of love that underlies all existence. It is a state of being where you are deeply connected to yourself, to others, and to the sacred current that moves through all things.

Attunement to the Inner Self

To be attuned is to listen deeply to the wisdom that arises from within. It is the quiet recognition of your true nature, beyond the noise of the ego, beyond the distractions of the outer world. Attunement begins with presence, with a willingness to sit in stillness and feel the subtle vibrations of your being. It is here that you begin to sense the undercurrent of Agape Love flowing through you, reminding you that you are not separate from the divine, but an expression of it.

This inner attunement requires trust—trust in the love that is always present, even when the mind is clouded with fear or doubt. As you attune to this love, you begin to move in sync with its rhythm, allowing it to guide your actions, your words, and your thoughts. You no longer force or resist; you flow. And in this flow, you find a peace that cannot be shaken, for it is rooted in the eternal.

Attunement to Others

Attunement to others is an extension of this inner alignment. When you are attuned to love within yourself, you become sensitive to the hearts of those around you. You listen, not just with your ears, but with your whole being. You sense the emotions, the unspoken truths, the needs, and the pain of others. This is not about sympathy or pity; it is about truly seeing and understanding, without judgment, the reality of another’s experience.

In this state of attunement, you respond from a place of deep compassion. You no longer react out of habit or defensiveness, but from the quiet wisdom of love. You see the divine in the other person, just as you have come to recognize it within yourself. This is the essence of true connection—where boundaries dissolve and what remains is the shared experience of being, bound by love.

Attunement to others does not mean you lose yourself or absorb their struggles. It means you hold space for them, allowing your presence to be a channel through which love can flow. You do not need to fix or solve; you simply need to be present, fully attuned to the moment, trusting that love will guide both of you.

Attunement to the Divine Flow

Attunement is ultimately about aligning with the greater flow of life itself. There is a rhythm, a pulse, a movement to existence that is always unfolding. When you are attuned, you move with this flow rather than against it. You trust that there is a divine intelligence guiding you, that each experience, whether joyful or painful, is part of a larger tapestry woven by love.

This level of attunement requires surrender. It requires letting go of control, of the need to know or dictate outcomes. In attuning to the divine flow, you allow life to unfold as it will, trusting that each step is leading you closer to the truth of love. You no longer fight against what is; instead, you embrace it, knowing that even the challenges are opportunities for growth, for deepening your connection to love.

To be in attunement with the divine flow is to live with grace. You are no longer tossed about by the storms of life, but carried by the current of love, which is always moving you toward greater harmony and peace. In this flow, you find ease, even in difficulty, for you know that you are not separate from the love that sustains all things.

The Depths of Attunement: A Lifelong Journey

Attunement is not a destination but a lifelong journey. It deepens as you continue to open your heart, to trust more fully, and to let go of the barriers that keep you from living in alignment with love. The more attuned you become, the more you experience life as it truly is—an unfolding dance of love, in which you are both participant and observer.

Each moment offers an opportunity to attune more deeply. Whether in silence or in action, in solitude or in relationship, you are constantly invited to return to the flow of love, to align yourself with its gentle guidance. The depth of attunement is limitless, for love itself is infinite, and there is always more to discover, more to experience, more to become.

Living in Attunement

To live in attunement is to live fully. It is to move through the world with an open heart, trusting that love will show you the way. It is to engage with life from a place of deep connection, where each encounter is seen as sacred, each moment as an opportunity to express love.

In attunement, you no longer need to search for meaning or strive for perfection. You understand that you are already a part of the divine symphony, already in tune with the love that is the source of all things. You are at home in yourself, at home in the world, at home in love.

This is the gift of attunement—a life lived in harmony with the truth of who you are, with the truth of love. In this space, you are whole, complete, and free, flowing with the grace of Agape Love.
