living is painful and there is no God
living is more illogical than logical. by born i was born in Muslim family but I'm not a believer. I can write down hundreds reason not to believe in, but will point out a simple one. This post isn't about religion but I want to understand myself, why do i feel so much ? when i see some hungry cats, or stray dogs runs towards me for some food I can't help but be sad. you know why ? because i'm human being and i have emotion. in Islam it said, God is kindest, he loves his creation - just like any God from every other religion. If he's the kindest and if he really exists then why a hungry cat makes me sad and I question my own existence because I can't help them, and God is dead ? nothing makes sense because all of these are non0sense.

Without light, there would be no dark. Without the void of space, there would be no order to the matter that inhabits it. Without pain, peace wouldn't hold the same meaning to us. Don't get caught up in the suffering, quit pointing your attention to the things you very clearly do not enjoy. There is also, incidentally, an infinite amount of good things you likely greatly and enthusiastically enjoy and flourish in. Point your head that way, you may be surprised to see if you're smiling first life will smile back at you too. I am not telling you, however, to forget these bad things, but just know that it isn't all there is. Take those feelings and put them somewhere that serves your peace and joy. God's still there, he's just giving you more of what you're looking for.

God has no face
I had a funny thought abt god and a common image that appears is one of a man with light coming from their face. A faceless man. There is truth in this depiction because god is NO ONE. Nameless. The raw energy that flows and is fuel for all. This is satisfying. Just as the fact that water has no taste. So that you couldn’t get fed up with it

No face = All faces. There is no separation. Just different expressions.

The Summit
If your goal is to ascend to His summit, do not indulge your attention in the beautiful things that line the road before you. The world is full of things that want your attention. Some are beautiful, some are fascinating, some appear important, and some even disguise themselves as wisdom. Yet all of them share one thing in common: they ask you to stop and look at them. The flower asks to be admired. The stone asks to be collected. The waterfall invites you to remain a little longer and enjoy its freshness. None of these things are evil, and none of them are wrong. The danger lies elsewhere. The danger is forgetting where you were going. The more attention you give to the things of the world, the further the summit seems to move into the distance. Not because the summit has changed, but because your gaze has left it. Nothing of this world can give you what awaits at the top. Therefore guard your attention carefully. Do not become intoxicated by the beauty of the roadside and do not lose yourself in the countless distractions that surround you. Keep your eyes on the summit. The question is not whether you are busy. The question is not whether you are moving. The question is whether your attention still rests upon God, or whether it has wandered off into the flowers along the path. Are you still climbing? ⛰️🙏

Don't get too caught up in the destination that you forget the journey is the fun part. In my experience, the trap is losing yourself in those things, making them higher, greater than the self, or God. No false idols, but don't forget to enjoy our time here regardless.

Why You Need to Heal
(Don’t want to read? Scroll to the bottom to watch my video on this) Let me tell you a story, back a couple of years ago I used to struggle with my mental health. I had a lot of trauma, anxiety, and depression and I unfortunately never took the initiative to, begin a healing process. I said to myself for so long, "Oh it doesn't matter, it's fine, it's not a big deal and I'll be okay. Mental health's gay, cringe, and only for women in a way so I don't need to do that. healing work" Because of this I really messed myself up and shot myself in the foot because I was neglecting the thing that would control, my fitness success, my business success, and etc. It just got me thinking: you can't procrastinate on something as important as your mental health healing journey. If you've got the thought in your head right now, "Oh I should be doing meditation, oh I should be healing my trauma daily, I should be meditating," you need to take initiative on that and don't delay it like I did for so long until I was at my wit's end. You don't need to do that. You can start before that and you probably should. I will say however, FTE events, F*ck this events, can really be valuable. To be honest until you get one of those you probably won't take your mental health journey seriously ever. Maybe it was good that I delayed it until it was too bad but then again though I feel like some meditation, some gratitude journal, I should have been doing that before. Thanks for reading. Hope it was valuable.

Some of us really do need to be aggressively shaken at the shoulders to return from the delirium of the illusion. A series of, not one FTE event(s) is what led me back to the journey, and it was simply because I was still searching for a "reason" for things to change, a rationalization, instead of realizing that I was the source of the change I was looking for. We all have different roads to walk, and sometimes we make things harder than they should for ourselves.

What makes you a spiritual rebel? 🐒
We’ve been reflecting on why we are a part of this community… One part certainly joined because of Rey 😎 Another part wanted to connect with likeminded people 🪄 Another part hopes to deepen understanding and discovery of God ✨ … That’s naming a few 📝 But when we reflect on what we identify as being a “spiritual rebel” we are uncovering this 🕵️♀️ So the curiosity is, what makes YOU a spiritual rebel? Perhaps your perspective and personal beliefs can help orient me into a greater awareness or authenticity 🧩

Because despite all the help on the way to becoming better equipped to handle life's adversities and embrace being free, from teachers like Rey and others, I agree wholeheartedly with one thing Rey has said-he does not "strongly" believe anything. I learned the hard way not to place anyone or anything above myself, above god, and that entails embracing the truth that all truths, are half-truths. Faith is what you know, not tell yourself what you believe. Reality is what you make of it.

@Steve Markham To you, it is. To others, it is not. They may know success and failure on their journeys all the same, you can put faith in good or bad. We have free will and love is an ultimate expression of that, but so is hate.
