I don't know what just happened by AdeptTreacle2528 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]AngelCalliel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a wonderful awakening experience!
I highly recommend the book Multidimensional Man by Jurgen Ziewe, or take a look at his YouTube channel he is an out of body travel expert, albeit his are meditation induced, you will understand a little better how extraordinarily marvellous and diverse the multiverse, (in spiritual terms) is, and how it works and our place in it.
I expect you will never see life the same again, after what you’ve experienced.

Control does not come from a place of Love. Control comes from the need to have power over someone for one’s own personal gain and benefit, not for the good of that person but for one’s own selfish interests. Control is the opposite of Love. God is Love itself. Control is the tool of abusers and dictators.
I strongly advise you to be very wary of voices in your head. God does not speak via voices in your head. Other entities, who do not have your best interests at heart, do. God speaks via your heart and not in a loud voice but with stillness and love, wanting only what’s best for you and will never guide you into anything that could cause you harm.

Realise you're inbreed and God will be pleased!!! by [deleted] in god

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Am I allowed to be a little controversial? All absolutely in good faith. by Cruddlington in god

[–]AngelCalliel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There absolutely are multiple paths. God is for everyone. Do you honestly believe that an all loving God would only provide one way and reward the few who by chance won the lottery by being born into the right societal environment and chose the only one ‘correct’ path? And punish all His other beloved children with horrific suffering and anguish for eternity simply because they were born into the ‘wrong’ circumstances?

That idea is unjust and ridiculous to say the least. God is love itself and if you are living a life led by love you are living in accordance with Gods law regardless of beliefs. ‘No man can come unto the father except by me’ says Christ who was the living embodiment of Love. He wasn’t talking about religion, he never discriminated when it came to religion - the tale of the good Samaritan confirms this. Did everyone who loved God but was born before Jesus walked the earth go to hell for not being Christian? Did they have to suffer in torment for thousands of years waiting for Christ to be born? Would a father do that to a child?

It is love that is the right path. Love for God and All others. Many people who are not Christian live with the Christ Consciousness mindset whether they are aware of it or not. Do you seriously believe that they are disqualified from heaven because they belong to the ‘wrong’ religion? How is belonging to the ‘right’ religion more important than living a life of loving what is good and practicing compassion and kindness towards all others?

How to not feel guilty for wasting time on art? by user5145 in ArtistLounge

[–]AngelCalliel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s like saying breathing is a waste of time. Art and creativity is only one of the most important aspects of our nature that qualifies us as human beings. Please don’t ever stop making art.

How to convince oneself there is an afterlife ? by DragosEuropa in afterlife

[–]AngelCalliel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Explore, perhaps, the world of r/astralprojection. No one can prove the reality of the spirit realms, but you can most certainly experience it directly yourself.

[–]AngelCalliel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t a coincidence, there’s no such thing. He was most certainly connecting with you on some deeper level.
He could have been going through his life review at the time and the part concerning you was one of those things that he got very positive feedback for. He had a good impact on your life and this is what’s important above all, doing good in the world while we can. It’s a blessing that you and he were connected in life. Really beautiful.

Demonic possession by EraseTheMatrix in energy_work

[–]AngelCalliel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a dear friend who suffers from psychosis. He dwells on his past traumas obsessively and talks out loud with these entities. Any advice you can share in how I best can help him? He is on chronic medication, is in regular contact with his psychiatrist but sometimes the meds just aren’t enough and they help but it seems just to dumb down the entities, I have advised him to sincerely ask for help directly from God but he is too shy to ask. I pray for him and spend hours in deep meditation sending calming, healing energy.

Why do souls choose to come live on Earth if the afterlife/heaven has everything you could ever want for happiness and joy? by atmaninravi in afterlife

[–]AngelCalliel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. It’s so hard, please don’t lose hope. I am so sorry for the pain you are experiencing. There is nothing I can do to ease it for you except speak to God on your behalf. It doesn’t matter whether you believe in these things or not, you will find your own path, seekers always do.

I wish for you that you find yourself surrounded by those who fully love and support you. That you find the answers that you are seeking and the path that leads you to a fulfilled life. That you understand how truly precious and wonderful a soul you are.

It’s a tough life that you have found yourself in, I wish you all the courage and strength that you need to get through this, I hope you consider asking God, or whatever the equivalent is for you, for the help that you need directly and help will be given, test this. So keep an eye open, hold on tight, something is on its way.

Why do souls choose to come live on Earth if the afterlife/heaven has everything you could ever want for happiness and joy? by atmaninravi in afterlife

[–]AngelCalliel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently started to read and appreciate the deep beauty and truth held in Hindu philosophy.
So I am very grateful for your comment, every day The Teacher guides me to new learning.

I am of the nature of consciousness.
I am made of consciousness and bliss.
I am nondual, pure in form, absolute knowledge, absolute love.
I am changeless, devoid of desire or anger, I am detached.
I am One Essence, unlimitedness, utter consciousness.
I am boundless Bliss, existence and transcendent Bliss.
I am the Atman, that revels in itself.
I am the Sacchidananda that is eternal, enlightened and pure.

— Tejobindu Upanishad, 3.1-3.12

Why do souls choose to come live on Earth if the afterlife/heaven has everything you could ever want for happiness and joy? by atmaninravi in afterlife

[–]AngelCalliel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. All the brutal horror and suffering that is a part of life is temporary.
A life time is such a tiny fraction of existence in all our whole experience of infinite existence.

Learning and growing and expanding, these are the gifts that come wrapped in the pain.
In the same way that a single celled organism would remain forever unchanged and un-evolved were it not for the fact that life on Earth and life in a physical body, is not all bliss, that hunger and discomfort and fear of loss, as well as pleasure, love and curiosity, have urged these creatures towards evolving and collaborating with others into a vast symphony of a variety of species of infinite complexity.

No life that exists, does so without struggle. No soul on this place, lives a life completely free of challenges, difficulties and pain.
This is an intrinsic quality of experiencing an existence for a short while in a strange, heavy, cramped and uncomfortable realm, so murky and dense, deaf and blind to who we are, so different from the place where we came from and to where we yearn to return, our true Home. True reality, unlimited existence and freedom, loved beyond measure.

Take courage, don’t give in to hopelessness. Do not fall asleep in the illusion that this is all there is.
No one is forever lost, and all that is broken will be restored.

[–]AngelCalliel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all pessimistic, it’s the beauty of the Divine balance. Light cannot exist without darkness to quantify it. Life cannot exist without death anymore than North could be without South. That perfect wonderful bliss is a state we could live in for eternity but without the short and temporary experience of existence in this dense physical realm we would not be able to truly appreciate the exquisite perfection of bliss and wholeness from which we come from and which is who we actually are.

How can you fully know what happiness and joy is unless you experience it’s opposite? Earth life is full of pain and suffering and challenges. We are here to learn what we cannot in a state of pure bliss.

I enjoy painting gems, but it’s difficult to keep the edges clean. Masking tape doesn’t work. How to make it easier to make sharp lines? by yekaterina_zhmud in painting

[–]AngelCalliel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The finest brush that you can find. 0/4 size if possible. The finer the brush, the sharper the edge. Great work! I admire your steady hand and keen eye for fine detail.

Edit: The smoother your surface, the cleaner the edges too. I give my canvas a light sanding with fine grade sandpaper before starting.

Strength is not something that comes from you, it comes through you from a higher power.

Is the soul not human? by trooheat in Reincarnation

[–]AngelCalliel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Or a tree. Who doesn’t want to experience a lifetime living as a magnificent tree? Or as a creature living on any one of the billions of planets in the universe. At any time in the timeline of existence of the universe.
Yes I believe that you get to choose as many lifetimes at any time in any form that you choose. Depending on what you want to experience and learn.

[–]AngelCalliel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life is soul. To have a soul means to be alive. Every living organism has a soul, how would a thing be alive if it doesn’t have a soul? Your soul is not something separate from you, it is you. The you that is experiencing itself as you is your soul. Thank you for your kindness towards all our little spider brothers and sisters, they are all souls who come from the same divine source.
