  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

When i pass a stranger i cannot help but believe in the fabric of their being. One might call this personality but i conceive of it alongside a will facing the field of creation or as an expression of "caring connections" or an attitude vis both the apparent world they face but also an expression if they are conscious of the dynamic towards tge unseen or ghayb as muslims put it. The will expresses itself in the face of infinity and brings life or death basically speaking there to. My passing of a stranger enables me to glimpse what has been hidden but what my world in some way has been anvexpression of. So an evil harmful will can touch and reach beyond its visible domain into the ghayb and function there as a satanic force. And vice versa. So even if alone we can express will. Grow caring connections. Train body and brain tissue. Realign and function "esoterically" or "occuktically" for good or ill. I put that term in commas as it has a bad reputation - the devil acts behind the scenes and all that. But one can be sattva towards the infinite as ones existentialvwill touches it. Sattva means good or upright in hinduism. So i would recommend willing life health ann beauty, joy, love, wisdom, happiness etc the garden or its earthly realisable facet. To me this is the essence of the teaching of karma - that the good will will be reborn in its focal domain. We glimpse this truth in natural law as the world is a mirror of the artistry behind it. By the way infinite is just myvterm for creation or tge sense that our will can touch something beyond what is manifest sensously and apparent to everyday secular scope awareness or the "common sense" domain.

May this post posess blessings baraka life increase to the good and positive potentialities for being as my chosen epression draws them.into being in sha Allah as it is said. By the way i am monotheist believing in muslim style god not a trinity but my "dharma" is not all islamically sourced. Trying to create world pace etc by conceptual melding and interfaith translation, fusion and coordination. Not that I want to melt in a melting pot but create mutually respected interpretations of virtuous conduct.

Does this sound right?
and God knows best!
GS.

Actually its suprising how ignorantvi can be ar times withcall tgat esoteric stuff. If you are looking for info checkvwith a scholar. Its rudeof me to blirt ou such probably grossly erronius stuff. For educstion on the the ghayb a basic intro into allah swt angels books etc might be found on wikipedia or an islamic site. I can recommend gooddwill towards Him thougj from me to him on an individual level. I cant preach to you guys im not really qualilified and its against the forum rules. All i can do is try and express some humility. I cant even say im a muslim although i believe the basics i am not fully authenticated afasik. So tyanks for listening. I hope it has done me some good. I dont want tobassociate myself in shirk by the way so thaas it over and out.

sorry then i mean peoples bodies can be fearsome at times i wonder what kind of a world we live in. maybe i have difficulty understanding other personality types. mind training can possibly help me to be a good soul at least in emotional attitude towards stuff as i confront it rather than become part of the hell machine as it were and aggress and destroy. i know i am not doing a good job but would like to be a good willed person as i believevthis lifts society up heavenwards just as friendship in general is benign. i never actually thought good will towards God initially but maybe that is a decent idea rather than put my trust in reaching my soul out to man and the world. i do not want to run up against the wrong s but of person at all just i am particularly affectively gentle if rather rude but o would like to see people train in gentility especially those with power and influence. society stems from them like rays from a wilfill sun . thatsvthe the intuition. lets not blow up in social suicide is the appeal. thats the request.

I have abandoned this thread but for clarifiation:


What I meant was that which is beyond direct perception but still an object of intuition. So perception is finite as it is a form of knowing thought limits (edge of the visual field etc), and in contrast to that the extra perceptual is unlimited, infinite, we are not directly aware of it as a bound set of phenomenon. We may understand it thus (through memory, science etc but that is still memory of representation) but feeling is different and what I am on about. An emotional attitude towards the "thing in itself" which is beyond that which we have direct representational awareness of. Spatially beyond. Actually I now thing good will may be naive, but what I was suggesting was akin to Buddhist 'meta' in a way.
