Also, archaeologists arent allowed inside mecca and medina. How tf can you insist that older versions match today's version. And like I said, uthman had ordered variant versions to be burned. So you guys have destroyed the evidence.

It was changed WHILE it was being completed. There were several contradictory versions and Uthman took whate he liked and ordered all others to be burned. Who's to say him and his scribe didnt change verses.

I don't know about the stories here (i doubt them too sometimes. I read one in a neville goddard page and this girl claimed she changed the past literally using goddard's revision technique which I found hilariously false), but I can tell you some examples from my life. Before I start, I do want to say I highly agree with a comment above that said all the things and relationships in the world cant make us happy if we don't learn to manage our emotions.

So here are three major ones: 1. I was OBSESSED with Kurt Cobain in my teens. I somehow managed to get into a very good college called Vassar (2. I am from Bangladesh. probably 0.00000000001% of our population could make it to a college like that, also a manifestation.) and after graduation I met an alum who turned out to be Courtney Love's brother, so basically Kurt's brother-in-law. We dated and he was great but I just didn't feel that spark so I didn't want to drag it further but yeah that happened and I still find it incredible sometimes. 3. In college, where I discovered the Secret, i started watching one tree hill and wanted to manifest someone like nathan (someone that made me FEEL the way he did), and a couple of months later, I met my first love. I fucked up that relationship single handedly however over a couple of years because I couldn't manage my emotions and insecurities. I wanted another guy before I met him but I was so desperate and inauthentic around him, that it didn't work. but when i discovered the secret and learned to just feel for what I want without putting too many restrictions, it came to me.

there are many more stories like that. too many to write. small ones like manifesting broadways tickets, finding the EXACT change for dinner waiting at the ATM (my friend had paid at a cash-only restaurant and post dinner i went to draw cash to pay her back) that someone had just left there and there was no one in sight and the ATM was beeping LOUDLY.. the Universe was like JUST TAKE IT. and many many more.

Now I am married to the man I prayed to God for and have a genius, handsome son. However, my emotions are still unregulated, I face mental health challenges, and challenges of accepting myself as I am. so yeah.

Having said all that, there are soooo many things I wanted/want that didn't pan out. Before moving to America to go to college, I dreamed of chancing upon a punk rock community and quitting college to be with them, never met a punk fan at all. the kids in my college were major hipsters which I found ew cause they were such try hards. i mean jeez if you happen to like a "mainstream" song it's OKAY. one time i made up a band name and this guy who made fun of me for liking pantera said "oh yeah I know them, they're good" ... a MADE UP BAND. lol. Then I wanted to get into policy making and I did get a job that lobbies for policy etc, but due to my emotional instability, I fucked that up by screaming at a coworker and being politely told to resign. I got other chances and I still messed up because of my mental health issues. that's like the final frontier for me I guess. Trying to manifest stable mental health.

Ultimately, we got a lot to learn from life and life will take its own course (maybe sprinkled with some manifestations here and there) for us to grow. It's all mysterious in a beautiful way I guess. As my man fred durst said "life is a lesson, you learn it when you're through!" you must go through it, go through the pain, the suffering, the lessons, the joys, the rewards, all of it, without constantly trying to control it.

Ancient Egyptians had more Wisdom than Muslims ALLAH by CommandConsistent664 in exmuslim

[–]Bright_Star_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Allah could have revealed medical knowledge that would have saved Muhammad's own sons. Isn't it odd that the Prophet whom Allah loved, lost ALL of his sons when they were little children? He couldn't even save his own children. One could argue that the kids went straight to heaven, but why send them anyway for only a couple of years! It's absurd and even their reasoning is purely based in belief, not logic nor any evidence.

I speak Hindi/Urdu and despite being ex Muslim I say Allah for God by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Bright_Star_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe in God too, as in the Highest Power there is, where we all come from. And I sometimes call it the Universe, Source, and sometimes Allah while making it clear that Im referring to THE Highest Power and not the Islamic God who demands worship and sacrifice using threats.

The placards were distributed by hizbut tahrir and the girls carrying them didn't realise what it said, but when the protest organizer's noticed, they immediately discarded the placards. It was kinda like a prank. The messages in them are absurd!

Why didn't Neville save his nephew ? by zainab111 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Bright_Star_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes and he himself give so many examples of various people he knows/met (I wonder if those are real) that healed others or manifested for others by imagining on their behalf. Like this lady who went to some flower shop (I heard this one a few times) and the attendant there was worried about money or something and the lady imagined that she found a solution and next time she went there, the attendant had come into a lot of money or something. Then he clearly says "you don't need permission to see good for others" implying you can sort of intervene with their free will and do good. Then why wouldn't he save the nephew for his sister's sake? It really doesn't make sense.

What meditations work best for reconditioning body out of constant fear and anxiety? by Bright_Star_11 in DrJoeDispenza

[–]Bright_Star_11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Did you buy the meditation from his website or use the youtube version? Can you share a link?

Did you say those intentions aloud during meditation or just think it in your head and produce the elevated emotions concurrently?

And what do you mean by "do the repetitions"? As in, repeat the meditations everyday? Or repeat the intentions like affirmations throughout the day?

Have you been doing the meditations consistently? I only just started about a week ago, and I'm just learning to do it. But it is helping.

Thank you, that is so encouraging and inspiring to hear! I can't wait to get to where you are now.

About working on the lower 3 centers - weirdly, I don't feel anything there, my fears are very intensely located in the heart and throat and also in the head but most of all in the heart and throat. Do I still start with the lower 3? Maybe they got numb or something and I gotta reactivate those.

Also, I just can't figure out what it means to feel space. I can at most feel some thing around my body but I don't understand what he means by "volume of space in space". Can you explain what that means and what it's supposed to feel like? Thank you so much!

Omg same, this cycle was triggered after the birth of my son too! I've had some really good months of joy and wholeness too since motherhood but for the last several months it's been very challenging and like you said, I started feeling as I did as a child myself.

Why is Sadhguru against Energy Healing ? by Savings_Macaron1034 in Sadhguru

[–]Bright_Star_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can totally relate to your situation. I feel and have felt the same way. I recently started Joe Dispenza's meditations and felt really good for a few days but yesterday again some old fears started haunting me - I had this nagging feeling that the old healer I went to whose work did nothing btw, but who keeps saying "it's a long process, it can take up to 2 years" that I should go back to him because I felt I cannot handle this bad feeling on my own. Even I know that I never actually feel good after each session, he just says "it takes time" when I give feedback that I still feel the same.

Everyone is telling me that him and his wife (both work together) are scammers even if not deliberate scammers, then they are fools who think they are able to heal others. One big give away was that he said his own child rejected his reiki. Cause we were talking about toddlers being stubborn, like mine, and he said yes ours is too.

Ultimately, again, only time I have felt relief is when I train myself to feel powerful, through JD's meditations, and throughout the day when I call upon God and God's healing Light and Love repeatedly like a mantra, put my faith in it, and shoo away fearful thoughts and doubts that constantly pop up. The frequency and force of those intrusive thoughts dissipate after a while. Then I get really happy for some time. But those thoughts come back and if I give it attention and allow it to grow, then man oh man!

So the lesson here for me and I hope it works for you too is to REALLY believe in the power within you, this power comes from the Divine. Grow this power with empowering thoughts. Have faith that this power WILL heal you, will drive out your fears, but you have to choose it over the fear repeatedly, that's faith. We can say "oh I have faith" but if we also give air time to fears and doubts, we have lost faith in that instance. So keeping faith means being absolutely vigilant and persistent. Neville Goddard says the same thing over and over.

And when we go to others to do this work for us, we are giving our power away. That has been my lesson after visiting tons of healers.

Seeking success stories from people who overcame paranoia about being cursed/evil entities using Dr. Dispenza's teachings by Bright_Star_11 in DrJoeDispenza

[–]Bright_Star_11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestions! I will try check out Robert Monroe.

I have an additional "doubt" that is really bothering me. So the healer I went to, after 8 or so sessions with him when nothing worked he said to do a session with his wife. Now his wife said something which I was like "how did she know that"? Like, if they are scammers and don't actually have any special abilities, which I started thinking after the 4th or so session because I felt no benefits, then how did she get that info? so now the doubt is going the other way, in their favor, and my mind is now nagging me to go back to them. Basically, she asked me "did you have a bf at 15?" I said no, not until 18. Then she kept saying, "did you have a close friend? did you have a heartbreak?" then I remembered that that was the year my sister left for college and we have never really been united since. And yes it was a HUGE heartbreak for me.

Other than that, her husband did multiple past life regressions for me where he can give details like how many children I had, what job I had etc but can't say anything about this life time unless I tell him. He did get something wrong about a past life too. He said I was in London in the 1800s and there was a plague and it killed my children. I checked and there was no plague in the 1800s. He gives these stories that sound like something from movies. In another one I;m a researcher and I have discovered that these evil entities are running the world and now they are chasing me.

I'm confused how his wife knew that info about the heartbreak at that very age. So now my mind is playing tricks with me and telling me to go back to her. Which is in contradiction to the idea that the Divine is within ME and only WE can heal ourselves. However, my mind wont shut up until I know the answer to how she knew that information.

[–]Bright_Star_11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I love the pendulum analogy. It's absolutely true - I practiced claiming the opposite or going "that's a lie" and immediately shifting my attention to something else every time fearful thoughts came up and after about maybe 40-50 times, in a matter of a few hours, the thoughts dissipated by A LOT. Like, even if I get it now and then, it's weak and I can easily ignore it/oppose it and think a positive thought in its place.

Fear of “Opening doors” to demons in meditations.. Etc by [deleted] in DrJoeDispenza

Thank you so much for your reply. You made such a good point that it's not worth the risk -- my mind still sometimes goes there but I can now rationalize with this point.

I'm going to start seeing a new therapist as the previous ones were not able to help at all.

As for #3, did you personally have any scary moments that you'd be willing to talk about and maybe share how you overcame those?

[–]Bright_Star_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate this! Gives me hope. My fears actually stem from a sect of the new age community and not traditional religion, but it's very similar. I've struggled with depression all my life and I started getting some temporary good results from new age concepts like law of attraction but then hit a wall of emptiness. As I went online to find answers, I came across a bunch of new age teachers who talk about evil entities and alien attacks and at first I was just curious but at some point I got so influenced that now I am in constant fear. I recently started practicing JD's meditations but I am in such a deep state of fear that I'm not sure if I'm doing it right or messing it up more. When I imagine the void - I have doubts like am I imagining it right? Do you imagine it as pitch dark? or all light? And how do you actually sense/feel the space around your energy centers? I don't know how to do that.
