Today's thought: run the other way from anyone who insists they’re absolutely right and everyone else is just wrong.

Calm down those hormones. 🙂

It has been over a year since I first launched this thread. Since then, my spiritual journey has been in constant motion; new insights have arrived, followed closely by my own personal breakthroughs. Sandra Palmer10 was an old nickname of mine that I decided to leave in the past. Now, I am using my real name: Richard Walker79.

I have been exploring spirituality for as long as I can remember. My earliest memory goes back to when I was five years old, walking down a sun-drenched street and asking myself: WHO AM I?
The answer from my higher consciousness was simple: I AM GOD.

I never told anyone back then, because obviously, people would have thought I was insane. I kept it tucked away inside because I wasn't yet capable of manifesting that truth. But right now, in this very moment, I can tell you that I am not just God—you are all GODS too. Everything is God.

I have decided to share these realizations with others, even though many won't understand them, and it will be even harder for them to live them out. But that doesn't matter; I don't always need a reason to act.

This thread was designed to be the complete opposite of Ivanov School, where everyone thinks exactly the same and repeats ideas like parrots.

My intention here isn't to persuade anyone or to argue about who is right and who is wrong. I envisioned this as a space where we could share knowledge, insights, and wisdom—perhaps even debate—while avoiding the toxic arguments and insults that seem to plague Ivanov School.

I truly hope this thread won't clog up the forum servers with endless small talk or circular debates. I kindly ask the moderators to treat this like any other topic and please refrain from closing it...

I consider myself a bit of a natural poet, much like this fellow right here:

Maybe we’re just using the same word to mean two totally different things.
If you think you "understand" reality, aren't you basically just stripping it down and losing what makes it real in the first place?

I'm not trying to start a fight here, I'm just pointing out how words can trap you.

I hit this limit once where the whole world—myself included—just got swept away like dust in a storm. All I had left was enough self-awareness to make sure I didn't completely vanish.
I stared into this massive void of everything and nothing all at once, and honestly? I was terrified, so I just laughed at how absurdly huge it was
compared to the tiny, insignificant little world we live in.
It happened during one of those out-of-body experiences—it hit me while I was wide awake. Suddenly, the world and I were just gone, blown away by the wind, which totally freaked me out.
I had to slam it into four-wheel drive immediately just to try and pull myself back into reality. I have never been so stunned in my entire life.

Words are merely symbols; they aren't the actual substance.

I once crossed a threshold where both the entire world and my own sense of self were swept away by the wind. All I had left was enough self-awareness to ensure I wasn't completely lost or erased.
I gazed into the vast abyss of everything and nothing all at once, and I found myself laughing nervously at the sheer absurdity of that infinite expanse
compared to the tiny, finite world we think we know.

That kind of realization shatters every concept we hold dear. It exposes how fleeting and ultimately hollow our ideas and mental constructs really are.

It happened during something akin to an out-of-body experience. It hit me while I was wide awake! To my absolute shock, the world and I just vanished—blown away by the wind.
I immediately slammed it into four-wheel drive just to try and steer my way back to reality. I have never been so startled in my life!

It sounds like you might have taken the wrong turn! You actually went the exact opposite direction of where you were supposed to go.

Carol Brown77 said:"When a woman experiences her monthly cycle, she should remain in her state of impurity for seven days;
anyone who touches her will be considered unclean until evening. Anything she lies upon during her impurity becomes unclean, and anything she sits upon becomes unclean.
Whoever touches her bedding must wash their clothes and bathe in water, remaining unclean until the evening." This is what is written in Leviticus.

And then there's all the rest... just constant talk about being "unclean" this and "unclean" that...

But I suppose, considering when these rules were first established, there weren't exactly medical textbooks or teen magazines 🙂 available to explain that menstruation is simply a normal, natural biological process. It seems a bit silly to label it as "unclean" or a sickness, but I guess it's somewhat understandable why they would write such nonsense back then...

The only sad thing is that even today, some people still try to justify these absurdities or push insecurities onto women regarding their own bodies...

It’s honestly ridiculous to let anyone dictate your life like that—you just end up becoming someone else's slave.
Besides, menstruation isn't "impure." It’s a perfectly normal, natural biological process, just like sweating or anything else.

Bradley Davis33 said:Look... every woman deals with her period differently, but honestly, trying to perform Salah (Islamic prayer) would be pure torture for me, especially during those first two days...
And Salah isn't the only way to pray, right?

I'm pretty sure the Quran doesn't actually define menstruation as "unclean," just more like an inconvenience... and let's be real, it is! Those hormone swings causing emotional sensitivity are a total drag, and don't even get me started on cramps—I wouldn't sign up for that if I could help it...

It is all perfectly natural and normal; we just need people to actually accept it as such.

It’s all just more evidence for why people walk away from organized religion and faith entirely. They’re simply riddled with nonsense, unnatural ideas, total illogic, and nothing but a drive for dominance.

Amanda Walker said:You’ve definitely got a point there, but man, I’m really struggling with how you used the word God in that sentence. 🙂
Does it seriously have to be God?
Look, I’ve got nothing against God, but it just feels totally out of place here.
It feels like we’re never actually going to figure out what we are, where we came from, or how we even got here.
Maybe one day we'll finally have an epiphany about our existence... but by the time we reach that kind of realization, our human brains won't be able to wrap themselves around it, so we'll still be left in the dark.

My dear friend, I am also troubled by that loaded word, and I completely understand why it triggers such strong associations for you.
Everything is a matter of perspective. When that term is mentioned, one person envisions an old man sitting on a cloud, another sees a monarch who lavishly rewards some while punishing others, someone else believes we are all divine, and another thinks existence itself is God...
It all depends on your viewpoint; it is vital to look at things from every possible angle.

One day, in a real-life conversation (not online), I gave some advice to one person and made them happy because they felt I was helping. At the same time, I made another person in that same group happy because they thought I was teasing the first person—whom they can't stand! My intention wasn't to help or to tease; it was something else entirely. 🙂

Honestly, just cross out the word God. I’m not much of a fan of the term myself. Others have used it so poorly that it’s become distasteful, and for most people, it carries a societal baggage that's hard to shake...

Maybe we will eventually realize our true nature... but by the time we reach that level of understanding, logic won't be able to follow us, so we still won't get it.

How can you be so sure if you haven't experienced it?
I believe the truth is actually quite simple, but nobody wants to accept it that way. Everyone expects something unreachable, something incomprehensible to the mind, something transcendental. But once you actually reach it, it seems so incredibly simple that you can't help but just laugh and laugh... 😁

2. We are ONE: God. Our bodies and our personalities are nothing more than roles we play in a grand production. The very second we realize we are just acting—that this isn't our true essence—is when that moment of enlightenment and awakening finally hits.
Because so many people remain unaware of their TRUE NATURE, they end up identifying entirely with their role, forgetting that every role eventually reaches its inevitable end. As for me? I was never born, I was never created, I don't suffer pain, nor do I feel joy. I am simply PURE SPRING WATER—undisturbed, a mirror reflecting everything around me, yet absolutely nothing can touch me.

Quincy:

Just a quick interruption here: honestly, wading through all this mental garbage is making me feel absolutely revolted. It’s such a bad feeling.

I know this feeling well. Interestingly enough, the first word that pops into my head—and the one I always use—is just: trash.

Let’s skip the endless debate over who’s right or wrong. Just lay out what you’ve learned. Put your insights into words, no matter how they come out. I promise, those of us who have been through it will get exactly what you mean.

1. The realization that nobody actually owns anything—not even their own body. It means we either possess everything or absolutely nothing at all.
