My Journey Towards God.

[Mahasvapna]

Hi Mahasvapna


I'd like to propose something to you. Below is a link to a sura from the Quran. It's spoken in plain english with no arabic. And includes a word_doc. as well. It's my opinion that if you <b>listen</b> to this reading at least <b>three times</b>, and I say three times because one tends to miss much on the first pass. Then you should be able to do your own litmus test;


<b>Whomever Allah wills to guide, He opens his chest to Islam and whomever He intends to confound, He makes his chest narrow and squeezes so tight that, at the very idea of Islam, he feel as if his soul is going to climb up towards the sky. That is how Allah places a blight on those who do not believe</b> 6:125


I would guess that when you have listened to the recording a few times you should know if Allah Most Gracious, Most Merciful is the God that you know...in sha allah (if Allah so wills). To dispute about Hell is pointless. You possess the faculties of reason. Listen and judge for yourself using 6:125 as the gauge.


Before we part, I'd like to share with you what is generally considered as "The First Advice" of The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).


On the authority of Omar bin Al-Khattab, who said : I heard the messenger of Allah salla Allah u alihi wa sallam say :


<b>"Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended..."</b>

When you sit to approach the Words of God beware of your intentions for doing so and whether you have pre-conceived in your mind an answer before pressing "PLAY".


Peace.

Well, that particular link I couldn't figure out, but i did find a few recordings of the qu'ran in english.


Aside from the same sense of interest in hearing something new that I normally have, I cannot say I was moved at all. I tried to have no preconceived feelings in any direction, only tried to listen openly. It may be that I have really never had that much faith in words from a book.


However,


I've been quiet for a couple of days because i've been coming to a climax in my psychospiritual discipline - that is, the mental disciplines of spiritual expansion or exploration if you will - I've had a higher frequency of lucidity in my dreams, and started to sleep deeper and longer while my mind remains awake. It is the result of years of practice, and some of the first really significant results I've had... anyway...


In short, I have taken a step further towards mastery of my dreams, and this step has allowed me to realize a great fallacy on my part which I was beginning to almost take at face value. I won't argue it here, I simply wanted to say thank you to everyone who has exchanged with me, and wish you all the greatest blessings in your own lives. I have no doubt that it was the background of these exchanges in my mind that catalyzed my journey into this next tier. I hope that one day our human culture loses it's egocentric structures all together so that we can all take these massive steps forward in realizing the truth about what we are and why we are. I think then we'll all be able to really live in peace with one another.


Namaste
