NOW it all makes sense! -I've been struggling to understand a particular process of this "journey", and have been praying for clarity and guidance on it. - I knew I'd find the help I was seeking amongst this very enlightening series, Carina. 🙏🪷💚

Time for another Jonathan Livingston Seagull moment... 🙏

Thank you Sister. 💜

Most welcome Sister 💚🇵🇸 I am very pleased it helped you! 💜 I hope it helps others as well.

I am really upset with the attack on Lebanon at the moment and I am going to shia tv for some inspiration myself. I am ready for the final showdown between good and evil. Enough is enough. It is very frightening to know that they can kill us all via our phones or other electronic devices. Bastard coward terrorists.

Iran must surely intervene soon... With the support of Russia to forstall the squatter-state's nuclear threat??! 🙏🙏🙏

Iran, Russia and China 🙏🙏🙏

Iran said if Lebanon was attacked they would step in so surely Pezeshkian understands now you can not negotiate with these terrorists. Shoigu was just in Damascus this week as well. Waiting to see what Nasrallah says tomorrow. Israel wants a regional war i know that for certain. I do not know what comes next but I am sick of the western terrorists getting away with all of this.

100%. - “The West” has become an ugly, inhuman monster, hand-in-glove with the “only democracy in the Middle East”. Until the regimes of this murderous, megalomaniacal entity are put down once and for all, the world cannot know freedom or peace or safety.

We appear to be on the cusp of a world changing war, which is also, for me at least, a spiritual war, and an opportunity to evolve beyond the base materialism represented by “the west”.

There is no doubt that Human is an alien as certain as the Iron is an alien to this Universe…

Verse 2:30

˹Remember˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to place a successive ˹human˺ authority on earth.” They asked ˹Allah˺, “Will You place in it someone who will spread corruption there and shed blood while we glorify Your praises and proclaim Your holiness?” Allah responded, “I know what you do not know.”1

Adam and Eve were created outside our world, and they were put in a training mode , Allah thought them the names of all things, they were shown that they were superior to other being (Angels and Jin) by their intellect when the Angels bow to them , and they were given their first test, is to exercise their free will but they failed, The asked forgiveness and they were forgiven, not a big deal so, they were ready to go to earth. Human before he decent to Earth, knew that he has an intellect, knew that he has an enemy (Iblis), knew that he is weak, he makes mistake an he has to return to his creator by asking forgiveness…

Verse 2:38

We said, “Descend all of you! Then when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows it, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.

All Brilliant minds of this world understood that there is a designer behind the design.

At this moment we constructed our world based on observations and assumptions and as fare as we know, it is working unless proven otherwise… the fact, matter or energy cannot create itself and cannot be infinite nor infinity.

This is what we know… every universe has a dark energy and it is fine tuned to sustain life as we know it here in this planet… there is a billion of universes and if you de-tune one of them it will alter life here in this planet… now within our planet there is equilibrium between the species, if you eliminate one of the species you will alter the balance and impact the equilibrium which, will impact human in this planet e.g. if you eliminate the bees life as we know it here, will cease to exist however, for other species the impact will be less and this applies for all species except for Human.. if you remove Human from the equation, the ecosystem will not be impacted because, Human is not part of the equilibrium, this proves that Human is an ALIEN to this planet, he is not part of the evolution…now it is fact that these multiverses have a beginning (Big Bang) which is the cause of everything.

If the Big Bang is a crime, then Human is the criminal because He is the only beneficial of the design also, he is on the top of the food chain, and he is the only corrupt greedy being in this planet so, we can consider that he is the designer but, we know that Human is a learner being and most of the time he is stupid, like 400 years ago he thought that this planet is flat also, he is an intellect but weak so, he is not the designer.

Let assume that the cause of all causes is the one behind the Big Bang and he is the one who put Human in this planet since we already established that human is not the designer and he is not part of the ecosystem. If these assumption are true, then this designer must have given a way of life, a guidance and a purpose for this being.

Allah has created us with both the tabiah (animalistic nature) and the fitrah (divine nature) in order to test which of us will remain in the superficial shell of our animalistic selves and who will transcend in order to transform into something greater. @Abdrazak azzouz

We said, “Descend all of you! Then when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows it, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. 2:38

Hello Carina. I must remember that I'm an alien in this world.... (and to "Be the Beloved I want to see!"). The Butterfly Within (Pt. 1, etc.) are profound lessons. If this is preaching to people, it is that rare preaching which seeks to give generously, without expectations or conditions - for our real benefit and enlightenment.. We continue to appreciate your gifts of information and wisdom, Carian!

In Islamic tradition the captain is the Ego (Nafs) the Soul is just the fuel, and the boat is the body. The captain can use the compass to stair the boat to the right direction or he can use his own compass which can change direction time to time.

The Soul in the Quran has three meaning

* Life ( for Human, Animals and for Plants)

* Angel Gabrial PBUH (Holy Spirit)

* Mercy and blessing from Allah

Nafs in the Quran is everything ( Intellect, Emotion, memories..)

As Human we have the Fitra (Compass ) to drive us to the true creator and as a Muslim we another Compass , Quran and Model (Prophet PBUH) to Guide us in this life.. as Muslim we cannot deviate from the Compass and particularly on the core belief.

Forgive me, but --- "STEER" the boat. xo Stairs are steps up or down, like in a building.

Thanks for your comment, too-- I've had so little teaching in Islam, and it's refreshing to hear a different perspective, which is familiar, but ... different. Cheers. ^_^
