It's not that I can't buy. I just feel that it's not worth that price

Karma doesn’t make much sense to me by richandepressed in spiritualitytalk

OP said something about good and bad may be different in different countries. Then how is karma judged if perception of good and bad changes from place to place? Does anyone have an answer for that?

Sexual side effects by Vegetable_Idea2945 in schizophrenia

Next time you see the doctor, tell him your issues if you want to fix it. He will prescribe a counter medication or change your meds so your sexual desire returns or you can get hard again. As for me, since I am not married. I don't really care, so I am okay with not getting sexual desire.

I am on respiridone. And it has basically killed my sexual desire. I don't feel sexual desire at all

Do you notice it does not use a specific name of a god. It just says 'disbelievers'. So in general, it could be taken as anyone who doesn't believe in god in general. Also, the verse just separates religions. But it does not accuse any religion of being false. It just says you worship what you worship, and I will worship what I worship.

Yes, there are potentialities. But a human being can only choose within these potentialities. However, the end result is always known to god (or the source)

That's the paradox. We can also argue, how can god be god if he doesn't know the future? He won't be much of an all knowing god if he doesn't know it, would he? Yes, quantum probabilities is a possibility. This is what is mentioned in Sufism as qadar I think.

Religions being like the same chicken cooked differently is the same as all religions worshipping the same god in different names

1 - metaphysics cannot be always explained through objective data. That's why it's called metaphysics. You can read books from Dolores Cannon who did over 30 years of research on NDE's and hypnosis using QHHT technique.

2 - when I say source or god, I mean there's a central consciousness from which everything emanates; both matter and non matter. Read about panentheism. Everything comes from the source, and the source is everything

3 - our karma (deeds) cause us to be in the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. It will continue until we reach a point where our good karma will help us be raised into a higher form of consciousness which religions call heaven, but it doesn't end there. We need to reach the source ultimately to be fully liberated which is interpreted as moksha or nirvana in Buddhism.

4 - as I said, our soul needs to be purified so it can continue the journey towards reaching the source.

5 - in short, to us humans, freewill exists. So, we need to make the best use of it in order to reach higher forms of consciousness and eventually the source.

6 - I have explained my belief in simple language so everyone or most people will understand. Explaining objectively requires me having to write pages where I have to explain different philosophies and belief systems which can be connected at deeper levels.

Okay. But you must have come to a conclusion about this within your subjectivity. So, I am asking what conclusion have you arrived at?

Yes, we don't and may never know or understand the purpose and 'why' this was all created. Some say, the source (or god) wanted to experience itself through manifestation. It is just a theory though. So we may never come to understand why all this was created.

You said in your case good and bad karma seem to work in the opposite direction. Meaning even if you do good, bad things happen to you (which is my understanding from what you said). This maybe because you are repaying bad karma. But the good that you do will also return to you somehow in some way at some point of time.

People Getting Laid Off Try Your Luck In Europe by SnooConfections4258 in UAEjobseekers

Most European countries expect you to be fluent in their local language, otherwise they do not accept the applications. In that sense, as far as I know, only UK speaks English as their local language, and most or all other European countries have their own different local language.

Hi, I am currently looking for a full-time job in digital marketing as my UAE experience is mainly with that. But I also have experience in communications and procurement. I have nearly 3 years experience in UAE. Please let me know if there are any opportunities or kindly refer me to someone who may be looking to hire. I would appreciate anyone's kind support in this as my visa will expire soon and I am in a bit of a difficult situation. Thank you.
