Sorry forgot you are the ultimate arbiter of truth and that I don't exist.

A Sufi Hymn to Awareness

Neither subject nor object, neither seer nor seen Awareness is a flame which glows into itself

For those who have the eyes, for those who wish to see It opens its heart and shows into itself

Neither here nor there, its home is nowhere Like a wind it blows and blows into itself

Beginning with a drop in each moment of Creation It soon becomes a river that flows into itself

From where does it come and to where does it go? Like a breath it comes and goes into itself

To nothing does it submit, 'cause nothing's other than it To itself it bows, as it bows to itself

Your belief in the organization legitimizes dangerous and corrosive beliefs. It legitimizes the power structure that oppresses. It legitimizes the act of turning off your brain. Your adherence to its rules legitimizes even it's more rabid and extreme flanks.

You cannot participate in organized religion without harming society.

Reread, I'm against the organization, not the personal connection to the faith in and connection with God directly.

[-] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Is it the god of an organized religion? Do you call yourself a believer in that religion even if you don't "support" it?

Which God? There are thousands. Judeo Christian God? Yeah you support the degradation of society. Doesn't matter which denomination. You want to tell me how you can have a personal connection with someone else's hallucination?

YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.
