Lately I’ve been having a really good time reframing my beliefs and zooming out to see the bigger picture behind different religious teachings. A lot of things have finally started making sense in a deeper, more expansive way. But there’s one idea I’m still sitting with, and I’d love to hear your perspectives: Why does it seem like God requires absolute devotion? For a while, I was thinking of the whole “be in the world but not of it” teaching as a kind of 50/50 balance — like part earthly self, part spiritual self. But the more I explore, the more I see themes like: - “You can’t serve two masters.” - “A house divided against itself can’t stand.” - Not living half in ego and half in God/Spirit. And now I’m unsure how to integrate that. I don’t feel lost — just curious. And honestly, I feel open to whatever clarity wants to come through others. So if anyone feels called to share how they interpret this (from any tradition or viewpoint), I’d really appreciate hearing it. I’m letting God/Life/Spirit speak through you to me. Thank you 🙏✨

As a researcher I can’t explain this feeling. There’s something on the other side that’s trying to get me to see it… I’m almost there.. just more!!

I went into deep survival after my awakening and have been slowly recovering. There was alot of fear response for the past couple of months but my body is feeling better. I am now finding myself crying all the time, just cant name the story behind it but just experiencing alot of pain and crying. I’ve been crying almost everyday and today it’s just been happening all day. If I try to understand what’s happening underneath- I just feel alot of sadness, grief over not being held, seen, heard and forgiven. I want to understand what’s happening here. Would also love it if anyone has some space to hold me while I drown in this emotional distress
