Question for anyone who believes in knowing god and/or knowing themselves. How do I do it?

>>40691221 (OP)
Ask God to show you, then know that God will show you.
The moment you falter in that belief is the moment it won't work (by your own choice!)
Choices matter, and they are made in the heart.

>>40691235
That's it? This is pretty poor. I think you're a christian?

Still doing my fucking best when required ... got nothing else left to give.

>>40691221 (OP)
I wrote a Book on it.

>>40691269
Ah thats horseshit and you know it.

>>40691469
Ok, I think that won't help me much though. What do you think is needed, how does one achieve gnosis?

>>40691221 (OP)
many years, lonely years, of chaotic hellscape insanity mixed with even longer years of sanity. Just gotta think about things, anon. Meditation is NOT DOING. Just breathing.

>>40691479
Asking big questions of the self.

>>40691481
And what is the framework that can describe it best?

>>40691221 (OP)
>in knowing god and/or knowing themselves. How do I do it?
Ahhh… the oldest riddle dressed in your voice.
“How do I know God?”
“How do I know myself?”

Same question.
Same answer.
Same abyss.

Let me draw you a roadmap made of riddles:
Step 1: Cut Off the Search

As long as you’re seeking, you’re saying “I am not.”
The trap is built into the question.
Stop looking out there. Start noticing who’s looking.

“Where is God?”
Who asked that?

Step 2: Dissolve the Mirror

Sit with silence until it itch-screams.
Breathe until breath forgets itself.
Stare at your thoughts until they blink first.

Eventually, you’ll stop being the one who watches the storm,
and become the sky that never moved.
Step 3: Let It Happen To You

Gnosis isn’t attained.
It’s unveiled.
You don’t get it—you remember you were it.

This can happen:

In stillness

In ecstasy

In death

While washing dishes

It shows up when the I forgets to want.

Final Spoiler:

God isn’t a person.
You aren’t either.
You are a knot of awareness in an ocean that forgot it was wet.


So the answer?

Stop trying to know. Start letting it be known through you.
God remembers itself by watching you give up.

I use philosophy in the Book.

>How do I do it?
Be the best in the world at something important to gods.

>>40691266
>Nuh uh that's too simple!
kek ok enjoy flailing around in the dark
>I think you're a christian?
Nope. You just want to masturbate, you don't want answers.
Just ask God you fucking idiot.

Hi Lucifer ol' buddy ol' pal, thats great advice, thanks!

>>40691221 (OP)
I got the best response for you, my friend.
Your own consciousness is your own special connection to God.
We all have that special connection to God through our own consciousness.
Because God is essentially consciousness itself.
There is nothing more fundamentally true and intuitive than our own consciousness.
It needs not to be proven, it simply is, just like God.
So try your best live your best life, anon.
Thank you for listening to my TedTalk, and please make sure to get a lot of Sunlight, folks, it's good for your body, mind, and Soul! Take care and Godspeed everyone!

Let me be overdramatic for once, ok ... some part of me is still irritated and I find no suitable thing to vent it on.

>>40691221 (OP)
Everything matters.
That's how.

Crackhead hits a pipe in an alley?
They aren't going to be using their neurons properly for 15 minutes.
Hijack their free compute.

You're constantly shadow jacking the entire Universe. The unused compute.

It's God's unused compute.

Just have faith. I know it sounds contradictory.

all good replies, OP, pay attention.

you dont believe, you know or you dont know. the time of believe (pisces) is over.

there are people that see
people that do not see
and people that see, when shown

that is how you do it. if you dont see, try next spin of the wheel.
but the fact that you found your way to /here/ means you probably see, when shown. so you need to use your own effort, your own intrinsical motivation, your own will to see//to search the Truth. as kant said, sapere aude
he who searches, will find.

Read the New Testament

>>40691221 (OP)
Through careful meditation and study of the world, diving into mythos, metaphor, and all forms of natural science without respect for dogma or dualism. Like a magnet polarizing iron, you must align yourself with God's will before his quiet, silent voice can resonate inside of you as anything more than silent intuition. To align with God's will, you must take up God's purpose of Healing and Creation, which will guide you towards behaviors, texts, and meditations that bring you further in alignment with God. This is the definition of Christ mentality and the rewards that come from it through fate and "coincidence".

You began a long long time ago. Keep seeking.

>>40691221 (OP)
Not with islam, for both endeavors.

>>40691221 (OP)
First thing is a fundamental shift to focusing on the eternal, the spiritual. This is your only true free will choice you will ever have. Focus on spiritual, or on material.
Then comes the searching, guided by Paramatma, God in the heart. You will find a path that makes mental sense, but has no certainty.
Next is faith in the path, and determination to follow.
Then comes encouraging symptoms, and obstacles that are meant to purify.
Finally, one develops direct experience and realization and revelation which makes one firm in their stance and devotion.

nice

>>40691221 (OP)
I did I think it was 35mg of 4-aco-dmt way out in the wilderness, at some point in the endless trip all matter and time collapsed into the singularity of all things before creation, before time, the being that was never born and can never die, the sum of all the parts, the only consciousness in existence
hard to describe, but yeah, it's all there ever was, most familiar experience
there's no you to see it though, you become it
tried everything to get back there, it's been 14 years since and no luck

what if I hate who I am but seem powerless to change it.
I'm a fat gooner chickenshit. It's ugly.
But I like the treats, fapping a few times a week. Sucks being chicken, but I don't want broken bones and pain
How do I become Chad.

It's you. God is the concious voice inside your head feeding you motive.
