this kitten was in my yaoi folder for some reason

@shibao you can tell he has some degree of incredulity over Buddhists not believing in God or the soul its pretty hilarious

@shibao I mostly love reading the quotations and Huxley doesnt get in the way too much with his analysis of them

yeah I still dont understand why Buddhism doesnt believe in Atman

okay the perennial philosophy slaps so far

unlike catholicism in my understanding protestantism has produced few to no major saintly people with genuine experiential knowledge of the absolute, though it seems that the christian theosophists (not to be confused with the later theosophy movement) had a general philosophical idea of it it

@lain @cell hes me!!!

I guess ive spoken about my important dreams but barely. I wish I hadnt lost the original descriptions of most of them that I wrote down, only one is the original account and the other two or three are from memory, accounts several years after. I blame telegram deleting my account.

wish I could talk about my spiritual experiences but last time I did I was told to seek a therapist schizo. at least reading certain scripture lately has been nice. it has been years since I read the upanishads, months since i read the gita and I never read the new testament before.

@technicallydifficult @lizzie @waypastfuture @sathariel let's not forget that king david spied on a woman, became enamoured with her, and then sent her husband to die inna war so he could marry her but jews unlike muslims dont have a doctrine of prophetic infallibility. and david repented of his sins before God which is a key difference.

@technicallydifficult @lizzie @waypastfuture @sathariel "I am your devotee. make me your own" gives me chills

@technicallydifficult @lizzie @waypastfuture @sathariel didnt aisha say something like "isnt it convenient how Allah grants all your desires?"

@georgia @lizzie @waypastfuture @sathariel

He cheated on his 9 wives (2 of whom he would get a pdf file charge for if he were alive today) with an enslaved nun on the bed of a wife who was away for the day. Then when he got caught, he retrospectively came up with a verse to justify the rape, infidelity, and ignoring his wives on their day, and divorcing all his wives if they would continue to hold it against him. After which, Aisha reproached him by saying that basically he was making up verses to suit his personal interests. And he didn't say shit back. Like, she called him out to his face, and he backed the fuck down. This incident is what would eventually lead to her putting her father on the Caliphate throne by doing the exact same thing, making up hadiths. Later, she had 2 Caliphs after her father assasinated, and led the sunni faction in a war against Ali's followers, and caused all the division in the muslim community that people fight over to this day. Destroying the legacy of the man who destroyed her childhood, like an absolute boss.

@technicallydifficult @lizzie @sathariel @waypastfuture the tattariya upanishad contains a passage I used to say everyday, let me know if youre interested in seeing it

@technicallydifficult @lizzie @waypastfuture @sathariel I read that muhammad wore two suits of armor cause he was afraid of getting pwned

@Alex theres a lot I dont like about this comic lol

@lizzie @sathariel I shouldnt have said stature it means importance and height. I think it originally may have also meant age too.

@lizzie @sathariel wait its literally a reference to stature? thats hilarious
