I think of it as fractal state machines, but that's just what makes sense to me rn

nah, for the most part the rationalization is that all of the evil and suffering is a result of humans having free will and doing bad s*** to each other, it has nothing to do with God

it’s just a common atheist critique that one wouldn’t even ask if they actually engaged with religion above a surface level (and this is why you see me talking a lot of s*** on here)

the dharmic religions don’t even acknowledge the problem of evil because they place that wholly on humanity, versus some sort of God that is supposedly meant to design a padded playroom for its creations and make sure they never die and don’t hurt each other

that’s also not even getting into the other aspect that all of the evil and suffering is supposed to assist in one’s growth + potentially lead one to God as well, particularly the suffering aspect to an extent, that’s kinda where asceticism stems from

i was muslim and converted for the sake of my partner. I do not know what 'fundamentalism' means in such a context but I don't think I am that. if it is a shade of the sectarian insular faith exhibited in the new world, which is not so different from any other post-theosophy theology, then I vehemently reject it.

If you need the raft you need the raft, if you don't, you don't. If you do need it, hold on to it.

I see.

Oh yeah I was semi ascetic for a while, I miss that guy hold on.

that’s interesting, any particular sect? or you’re classical/orthodox?

the only difference between me and edumist is that i respect him and he thinks I'm braindead

Dw I can be braindead enough for all three of us

and that his coward ass ain't in ppoy

catholicism. Philosophically I only really read Plato and Plotinus now and some contemporary writers though only to stay 'in the world', many of Plotinus' proofs affirm the doctrine of the church (and ergo the vedanta), I don't read my eastern texts much anymore, but simply through lived practice much of my personal theology is still founded on the writings of al Sheikh al Akbar

nah you brainalive af

My reading just made me more confused

I was sleeping but guess someone already replied to you

hard

also wtf is going on here?

Agree bro, who wrote this article was certainly a Libra 😂😂

Dont want to start a sep thread for this ,so I’ll just use this since astrology is occult

does anyone agree or has at least looked into race from a Theosophical perspective? Love the theory on root races. Btw hitler took the aryan root race idea, no one ever co-signed it

Thread got weird and toxic

Let’s see your chart

Pluto in Aquarius, for the next 20 years, what does this means for us

depends how u view Aquarius tbh

imo it’s not looking good

the real value in astrology isn’t that it predicts your life cause that’s bullshit
it’s that it prompts people to think about their lives. most people don’t even bother so any kind of introspection is a plus

Yes

@op look into numerology. s*** deeper than rap

Nah I’m smart
