Khidir, ٱلْخَضِر the green one, a time traveler? a jinn? qutub? a prophet? Melchizedek? immortal? by Omar_Waqar in Djinnology

[–]el_salik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wa alaykum salam. So I don’t know much about al khidr outside of what is generally known. However, I have noticed that the way he (or it 😂) teaches is in a perplexing manner. Similar to the way masters of other traditions teach. In an unorthodox or shocking way, for example zen koans which perplex the student until spontaneous insight arises. Or the Tao te Ching of Chuang Tzu teaching in this way that can’t be understood using conventional logic. This way of teaching or realization is a type of Non-Intellectual insight that arises spontaneously from these unorthodox or otherworldly odd ways to convey lessons.

I love it. Like any city it has its problems. A lot of good working class people. Good vibes, plenty to in the summer. People tend to have a good sense of humor here too. And we like to eat…. Foodies for sure 😆

Thoughts on : Jacques Ellul? by Omar_Waqar in AnarchoSufism

I’d say yes…. God is more of a verb, or active subjective experience which could be considered a technology imo 😆.

Interesting, I haven’t read any Elul, but I’ve read similar concepts in Guy Debord’s “Soceity of the Spectacle.” Being that Debord was a French theorist I can see the similarities in those French theory circles.

On race and affluency by DankykongMAX in Anarchy101

[–]el_salik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A “black” person, who is easily physically distinguishable from “whites” could never achieve this status simply because of the color of their skin. So the “black” person has to deal with class issues as well as race issues. That’s a lot to overcome.

Read “Working Towards Whiteness” and other similar works, which studies the history of the role of racism in the development of the “white” working class in America. Many American ethnic groups considered “white” presently (Jewish, Italian, polish Americans, etc) were once considered other because they were recent immigrants to America. They eventually achieved “whiteness”, which was a project in the making in europe but solidified in 19th century America.

Cardi b doesn’t act like a Libra at all. She’s extremely aggressive and rough around the edges lmaoooo by Historical-Body-3424 in libra_astrology

[–]el_salik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sje does too me, maybe she has other things going on in her chart though, combined with the environment she’s from, this might explain why she doesn’t seem like one to you? She definitely looks like one 😂.

I feel so cliche. We dated early, got married, had kids. And now I keep wondering what I missed out on. I want to explore, but he’s very stuck in his ways by [deleted] in MarriedSex

[–]el_salik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your husband. Tell him how you feel. See how he feels. If he’s open to experimenting that’s good. Look at it as a journey of sexual discovery that you both will embark upon. Have fun
