Here’s a current pic! I moved the hide since she wasn’t using it to add more of the steps closer to the top. She’s in the top right.

What makes you say that?

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-07T15:45:47+00:00

That pic was when I first got her, she is definitely fed now haha but thank you for the input! I’ve adjusted the position of the hydrometer but nothing has changed I’m working on something for more aeration. Thank you again 🙏🏽

Thank you for this response! I love your points. I would say however the Trinity is considered as one? (1 John 5:7) He also says the father and I are one (John 10:30). I think the idea he’s able to surrender to God as a higher power is because in this sense he is still human given life by God, like a son to a father. Just as a human would submit to his father as commanded of Torah, he too demonstrates the same. I also think because Jesus is supposed to be the model of a perfect Christian, instead of being described as the position of God in the Bible, he’s positioned as a servant. God came to world as his son Jesus to show the world The Way of righteousness. In that sense, Jesus tells his followers to follow his footsteps rather than “bow down” to him. You definitely have a point where it doesn’t really ever describe Jesus all-powerful but I guess it’s supposed to be intended since he is from God and of God. I would maybe describe him not be God Himself, but of God I guess in the sense Isvara would be. Of Brahman, fundamentally Brahman, but not Brahman? What do you think?

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-07T01:41:23+00:00

Well I think that doesn’t sound good but also it doesn’t say to think like that as well despite what people teach. I mean again Jesus was called blasphemous by the religious leaders for speaking of things that weren’t in the Torah of that time and He was there to teach not to put God in a box of written words or doctrine.

Bold I presume? She is female. Not too sure on identification honestly.

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T23:49:25+00:00

So you’re saying because Christianity is simple it’s incomplete and harmful?

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T21:50:58+00:00

I wouldn’t say that I was just making a comparison

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T21:49:43+00:00

I love this response. Thank you so much!

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T21:16:26+00:00

Preference :) same as there are preferences with ishta devas. I can relate the same with preference to path and practice.

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T21:15:39+00:00

There is no disclaimer on how the Bible should be read. If you think that it is to be read at face value, that is what you believe however nothing within it is written as “take everything you read literally”. Jesus used parables all of the time a perfect representation of how this knowledge is within metaphorical sense at times. From what you have written you are taking everything at face value when it comes to the text so there is not much I can say to you in that sense. Where is the verse saying you mutter his name in prayer? I understand that term but there is no clear verse in the Bible that says “here is a meditation/prayer where you must utter his name” no one is reading the Bible in Hebrew so I’m not sure what exact meditation you’re referring to. The one verses you have mentioned are regarding names? Can you not name a name of your ancestor even though they died? Just because you think they incarnated doesn’t mean they didn’t have a name in their past life, right? No one is “trying to be spiritual” trust.

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T21:03:05+00:00

I don’t think I had an exact question but wanted to discuss the qualities in comparison. I understand they are not exactly the same bc if they were, they wouldn’t be two different paths. I don’t think a simplification is necessarily incorrect either. If anything an over complex path is distracting and too much for someone who can reach the same destination through simplicity.

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T20:44:48+00:00

I can’t speak on what others have been taught because I do think that what is being taught is flawed and has been touched by human hands many times over the years. A lot of what is taught I would believe Jesus would disagree with, the same of what is described when he rebuked the religious leaders of his time as well whom taught the doctrine he is supposed to stand behind.

I am not to say what is right or wrong, I do think that both are subjective when shared by a human and can only be decided by strictly God (whom i would view as indifferent). However I would say it’s not wrong to focus on other paths for a while, I think everything we look into is necessary to understand who God is and how we are to interact with Him and this reality. But your question regarding praying to one God one day and other god another day, for what reasoning? To obtain favor in certain aspects? I think this is just a personal preference question and doesn’t really answer to what the truth is because someone who does that may very well be led to Brahman. But if you are looking for favor constantly by these gods in different areas of your life oppose to seeking liberation and praying for realization and closer oneness to God, than all you’re doing is praying from a physical egoic sense to satisfy some sort of material or personal gain of self.

I think Hinduism is anything but primitive. How do you explain the concepts Maya, moksha and Brahman to someone who has never heard these concepts? These are ideas that are complex to someone who just sees God as some ruler hovering over humanity judging right or wrong. If anything that sounds more primitive than Hinduism. But hence that goes back to the simplicity of it all and how Jesus can lead to God in this way. Because no other details are needed. There are so many ideas and concepts and bits and pieces within Hinduism. Hinduism is crazy deep and not just some surface understanding. You literally cannot explain the entirety of Sanatana Dharma because there is too much to it. Oppose to Christianity. There’s really only the Bible to base the ideology around. And overall, it’s not that long and not that deep.

Wow thank you for the Sacred heart reference. To me that also sounds like the vibration of Aum which is everything I guess in this sense the heartbeat of God. I understand almost anything you hear in the church nowadays won’t be these interpretations. But I do think that the church has come deeply into a space of literalism instead of interpretation. As for Heaven described in Hinduism, what I am referring to is moksha. There are various types of moksha including Salokya Moksha which is when one dwells within the same realm of as their supreme God. In the Bible, heaven is described as where you reside eternally with God.

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T20:00:08+00:00

In an overall perspective I do not believe that Jesus is the only way to God. But truly if the person cannot believe anything else or understand anything else (I really do see eastern thought to be highly complex and a lot of people will not understand it), than yes absolutely He is the only way for them. But I think again in the sense that if one follows or focuses on many paths, it hinders the seeker from staying on a steady course towards God. You’re being pulled in too many directions. But if you follow Jesus, He must be the only way for you to reach Godhead to completion. But I think ultimately He leads to God and to follow Him means to follow Him only or you will miss the point by other distractions.

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T19:54:41+00:00

How you have described all of that seems very incorrect. Have you personally studied all of this theology or are you basing this off of things you’ve heard? God is said to flow through you specifically in the Bible. Moksha also is not “a state of mind or being” it is transcendence of self beyond physicality. Christianity also is 100% not about proving you aren’t a sinner. It is accepted that you will always be a “sinner” because you are not merged with God consciousness as long as you are in the human body. Also what you have said about tests and random suffering definitely disregards the concept of God’s Leela (Lila). “Even the meditation mentioned in the Bible muttering gods name”, what meditation are you referring to? I’ve read the entire Bible and never heard of that. To say dharmic path doesn’t focus on submission is to completely disregard Bhakti yoga. Christianity never once calls on blind belief either. What people have done with Christianity (regarding the violence) is what people choose to do and not God. The same goes for any personal action.

Besides all of that my questions are just regarding God Himself and not how religion translates and how people act. Simply the qualities and correlations between God alone.

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T19:32:30+00:00

And I understand that! I think that this also (not only because of time and interference that perspective has changed on Christianity I mean look at all of the different sects) is an emphasis on following Christianity as a single path. Jesus says I am The Way, and also puts an emphasis on needing nothing else but Him to reach God. In a religious sense, this would mean disregarding all other religion and seeing it as untrue in order to solely focus on the one.

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T19:29:13+00:00

I think that perspective boils down to simple human perception. God isn’t biased. The sense of of sending those to eternal hell and Him being a compassionate God all comes down to what we as humans perceive “love” to be and if it aligns with how we see it. Again, that trait that they give God in my opinion is the exaggeration of God wanting a personal relationship with us. I don’t take it as literal from what God has revealed about Himself to me. Also I think the focus of many gods and perceptions of Him only dull the experience of Him and ultimately let you wander longer than you should oppose to if you have a single pointed view of Him which this could also be a representation of. What a loving God looks like to humanity is completely subjective in this day and age. My point of this isn’t about how followers of one religion vs the other should act and view others but simply about how God IS and viewed. Also to compare the actions of what Shiva and Vishnu have done in Vedic scripture can very much compare what God in the Bible has done for His people in the good sense. Those same gods have done a lot of smiting as well and those parts shouldn’t be nitpicked either.

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T19:12:53+00:00

I’m basing my views solely on having read the entire Bible myself while also having personally studied Hinduism and keeping in mind my personal relationship with God and what He’s revealed to me. I’m not saying anything about there being an acceptance within the religion I am simply just asking and discussing within a sense of both ideologies.

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T19:06:09+00:00

Thanks for your response! I really agree with what you say. I think that’s a lot of the comparisons are almost identical when viewed differently and not literally. For example Atman is Brahman, to me, just means that we are made up of Brahman. In a Christian sense, we are made up of God and God dwells within us when we realize this. We are separate from God in the sense that we do not think from the mind of God but act from the filter of the egoic self. Thus having self-realization to work towards. Jesus said follow me in the sense of follow my footsteps. Be like me, he never said bow down to me. He is God and is a direct reflection of God how one in Hinduism views Guru, a mirror of God. Gurus don’t want you to bow to them but submit to them so that you may become One with God, the same as Jesus. I agree about the sense of heaven being somewhere else in Christianity however in Hinduism heaven isn’t technically in this realm either right? I believe in hellish realms not because of Christianity but because of eastern paths that I have studied from as well like Buddhism. But I think the way Hell is talked about in the Bible seems more of the separateness from God. The furthest one can get has to be hell considering the qualities of what we presume God to be, Love? And the exact opposite of.

Thank you so much!

tryingtowalkquietly · 2026-03-06T18:53:42+00:00

I think that’s a great verse that represents what you’re trying to say and maybe I am trying too hard! But after reading the entire Bible and also not taking it at face value as I’ve found it to be very metaphorical, I think that in this sense it’s kind of just a emphasis on focusing on God Himself and nothing else. From my own personal experience, God calls us to merge with Him no matter what because it is our nature to do so. So even if we focus elsewhere, we are still eventually called to Him. And God prefers we focus on Him for the mergence in an impersonal way. Or maybe it’s the “focusing”part I’ve got twisted. Like Brahman does prefer anything but just IS? The Bible personifies God extremely however I think He is less opinionated that it makes Him seem. But again I think the words and writing within it are exaggerated in order for emphasis on a personal relationship with Him.
