Nice DOGma

its a joke satire of religion, its useful if you are indoctrinated in a stifling institutionalized religion, to help you break free;

but it is not a substitute for true religion (spirituality)

You sure are awfully dogmatic.

I am an ENLIGHTENED DISCORDIAN SAGE.
Do you watch spirit science?

AMA

Spirituality is too aneristic.

...

what makes you enlightened?

Thats a good thing.

Greyface pls go

from google:

from you:

Do you actually believe any of that?

I've been a discordian for a very long time (about 5 to 23 years) and I've learned absolutely everything worth knowing about absolutely anything.

Reading Principia Discordia only increases enlightenment by like 5% brah

5% is a lot brvh. It's kind of a short read and can be good for min-maxing your stats.

When can the human soul be torn from the animal cage and placed into an infallible form of metal and plastic?

I really need to replay dark souls 1 one of these days,i played it way back when and gave up at the fat chubby guy and thin lightning guy boss.

metal and plastic are not infallible, they degrade over time, they cannot overcome the force of entropy

if mystic traditions are to be believed, your soul can transition to an immortal body of light (merkaba chariot

No, but energy is and if you recycle energy and keep making new hard drive disks you can theoretically store the data you keep as your self on them.

Entropy is just Eris doing stuff.

You watched spirit science and you think you're enlightened, didn't you?

...

Plants are living sentient beings as well, you know. Well, not as sentient as the fungi, but they're getting there.

its a good board

Good for shitposting on. rip 4/x/

its a nice board

Have you prayed to the lima beans today?

you bring up a fair point

the Jains recognized a continuum of life, from lesser to greater

but the more devout of them even wore mask not to inhale bugs and use a broom to sweep in front of them so as not to step on any

I haven't, have you?

its a great board

ur moms a great board

No. I only eat fungi.

If that was too hard for you you're better off just giving up. Trust me, you'll never beat the game if that fight actually gives you trouble.

its a awesome board

not enough substance

theres too much substance for you to handle

its a wonderful board

I need help, and opinions. Do you believe in demons, OP? Spirits, creatures that live outside of our realm of understanding but interact and influence the human world? I should probably check out halfchan's /x/, but I want to know what a real christian thinks.

That's pretty harsh to say,that was a while back and i could probably take them now.

Define "real christian" there are as many types of Christianity as there are pixels in my monitor.

you
gotta
git
gud

its a holy board

Even if you dont believe in them you cannot rule out the possibility of their existence, ever.

i don't care what type, i just want someone that really believes in it and lives by it. Not some weekend warrior who goes to church once a month and watches porn

why?

maybe i'm barking up the wrong tree.
i think i have a demonic presence in my house and it's fuxxing with me. i need to know if what's happened fits the bill, and if so, how to make it fuck off

You can't ask a Jeep expert how to fix a Ferrari.

but how do i know if the demon in my house is protestant or baptist?

...

Exactly. You don't want to exorcise the Baptist Satan if you have the Mormon one.

.

this feels so goofy but i'm desperate. thanks. I hope it works.

its a thoughtful board

1:0.5.Urantia mortals can hardly hope to be perfect in the infinite sense, but it is entirely possible for human beings, starting out as they do on this planet, to attain the supernal and divine goal which the infinite God has set for mortal man; and when they do achieve this destiny, they will, in all that pertains to self-realization and mind attainment, be just as replete in their sphere of divine perfection as God himself is in his sphere of infinity and eternity. Such perfection may not be universal in the material sense, unlimited in intellectual grasp, or final in spiritual experience, but it is final and complete in all finite aspects of divinity of will, perfection of personality motivation, and God-consciousness.

be ye therefore wise as snakes

1:0.6.This is the true meaning of that divine command, "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect," which ever urges mortal man onward and beckons him inward in that long and fascinating struggle for the attainment of higher and higher levels of spiritual values and true universe meanings. This sublime search for the God of universes is the supreme adventure of the inhabitants of all the worlds of time and space.

9:4.5.Cosmic force responds to mind even as cosmic mind responds to spirit. Spirit is divine purpose, and spirit mind is divine purpose in action. Energy is thing, mind is meaning, spirit is value. Even in time and space, mind establishes those relative relationships between energy and spirit which are suggestive of mutual kinship in eternity.

9:4.6.Mind transmutes the values of spirit into the meanings of intellect; volition has power to bring the meanings of mind to fruit in both the material and spiritual domains. The Paradise ascent involves a relative and differential growth in spirit, mind, and energy. The personality is the unifier of these components of experiential individuality.

its a fertile board

can someone shill this board on 4chan, they dont have a religion board

its a curious board! Hee hee hee!

boing

...

1:1.3.When you have once become truly God-conscious, after you really discover the majestic Creator and begin to experience the realization of the indwelling presence of the divine controller, then, in accordance with your enlightenment and in accordance with the manner and method by which the divine Sons reveal God, you will find a name for the Universal Father which will be adequately expressive of your concept of the First Great Source and Center. And so, on different worlds and in various universes, the Creator becomes known by numerous appellations, in spirit of relationship all meaning the same but, in words and symbols, each name standing for the degree, the depth, of his enthronement in the hearts of his creatures of any given realm.

1:2.1.God is primal reality in the spirit world; God is the source of truth in the mind spheres; God overshadows all throughout the material realms. To all created intelligences God is a personality, and to the universe of universes he is the First Source and Center of eternal reality. God is neither manlike nor machinelike. The First Father is universal spirit, eternal truth, infinite reality, and father personality.

Thank God! Hee hee hee!

This thread survived! Hee hee hee!

1:2.2.The eternal God is infinitely more than reality idealized or the universe personalized. God is not simply the supreme desire of man, the mortal quest objectified. Neither is God merely a concept, the power-potential of righteousness. The Universal Father is not a synonym for nature, neither is he natural law personified. God is a transcendent reality, not merely man's traditional concept of supreme values. God is not a psychological focalization of spiritual meanings, neither is he "the noblest work of man." God may be any or all of these concepts in the minds of men, but he is more. He is a saving person and a loving Father to all who enjoy spiritual peace on earth, and who crave to experience personality survival in death.

1:2.3.The actuality of the existence of God is demonstrated in human experience by the indwelling of the divine presence, the spirit Monitor sent from Paradise to live in the mortal mind of man and there to assist in evolving the immortal soul of eternal survival. The presence of this divine Adjuster in the human mind is disclosed by three experiential phenomena:
1:2.4.1. The intellectual capacity for knowing God—God-consciousness.
1:2.5.2. The spiritual urge to find God—God-seeking.
1:2.6.3. The personality craving to be like God—the wholehearted desire to do the Father's will.

/rel/ is the new Holla Forums ! Hee hee hee!

What injures the spirit is having someone always on your back, beating you, telling you what to do and what not to do.

People hardly ever realize that we can cut anything from our lives, any time, just like that. For example, smoking and drinking are nothing. Nothing at all if we want to drop them. Only one thing is indispensable for anything we do; the spirit. One can't do without the spirit.

From now on you must simply show people whatever you care to show them, but without ever telling exactly how you've done it. You see, we only have two alternatives; we either take everything for sure and real, or we don't. If we follow the first, we end up bored to death with ourselves and with the world. If we follow the second and erase personal history, we create a fog around us, a very exciting and mysterious state in which nobody knows where the rabbit will pop out, not even ourselves.

When nothing is for sure we remain alert, perennially on our toes. It is more exciting not to know which bush the rabbit is hiding behind than to behave as though we know everything.

If you really want to learn, you have to remodel most of your behavior. You take yourself too seriously. You are too damn important in your own mind. That must be changed! Hee hee hee! You are so goddamn important that you feel justified to be annoyed with everything.

He has to come to realize that the power he has seemingly conquered is in reality never his. He must keep himself in line at all times, handling carefully and faithfully all that he has learned. If he can see that clarity and power, without his control over himself, are worse than mistakes, he will reach a point where everything is held in check. He will know then when and how to use his power.

Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life. Only then will you know that any path is only a path and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you to do. But your decision to keep on the path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. I warn you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary.

This question is one that only a very old man asks. Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long long paths, but I am not anywhere.

Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.

Before you embark on any path ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path. The trouble is nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realizes that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path.

A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it.

The path without a heart will turn against men and destroy them.

For me there is only the traveling on the paths that have a heart, on any path that may have a heart.

You think about yourself too much and that gives you a strange fatigue that makes you shut off the world around you and cling to your arguments.

THIS THREAD IS IMMORTAL! Hee hee hee!
