Sorry to create another Covid 19 Pandemic thread but I thought it would be useful to hear stories for anyone interested about how we are coping or struggling during this rapidly escalating crisis.

I live in New Zealand and we now have 52 cases with another 13 confirmed in the last 24 hours. For the first tine we have a couple of cases we can’t link to those who have entered the country recently. Perhaps its the beginning of community spread. We shut our borders to overseas visitors two days...

With all that has happened in the last year or so, things have intensified so much in the last few months, that the whole world has been plunged into a crisis that apparently no one saw coming....or at least not the average person in the street.

Just with the disasters that have occurred during the last year...fires, floods, earthquakes, destructive weather events and other "natural" disasters in unprecedented numbers globally, it looks as if we were set up for this virus to finish us...

Mods: if this is in the wrong area of the forum, feel free to move it.

If you follow a religion or you live a very spiritual based lifestyle.
Have you thought of why you still feel you suffering in your life?

Often in a religious text, it says something on the line of "if you follow the rules/guidelines in this teaching, your suffering will end".
But often when listening to religious people, they are absolutely not free of suffering, what is your thought of this?

What can we do...

I realize that Hinduism has many different sects. Some would say that its actually more than one religion. So I'm not trying to oversimplify Hinduism and make it seem like all Hindus are into what I'm talking about. I know that many are polytheistic. I know that many are henatheistic. Some emphasize the three gods of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Others have only the god of their family.

I would like to talk about the form of Hinduism that believes that Brahman is the source underlying...

I am a human being a human.

I own my own language.

I was born to 2 human being parents, who are not my life nor body...they own their life separately to mine.

I was born from their act of loving life and babies....and from sperm, a very little sperm, small and minute, and one ovary...also small and minute.

And I learnt in my life that humans are owners of radiation brain defections.

As a studier of human life, by the acts of self presence, in a human experience studying other humans....

I have strong intuition but never really thought it was a thing 'till I saw books on it. I hear testimonies of answered prayers and it sounds like the more people are connected to spiritual faiths, the higher their intuition and awareness; thus, the closer they get to the foundations of their spirit-ual (or however one prefers to call it; context focused) faith abrahamic and not.

Do you guys have strong intuition? Doesn't need to be connected to god. Strong I mean a bit more often than once...

Since the outbreak of 2019-nCoV spread in the United States, some media like CNN has published a number of news attacking Trump’s efforts to contain the outbreak of virus. These news has caused unnecessary panic in America. And now, these reports gave China the perfect opportunity to attack the United States.
As we know, CNN has completely ignored the efforts of President Trump to contain the outbreak of virus. In recent days, they have reported extensively on various message from the CDC...

I was wonder if anyone on RF feel they have been in some form of communication with God and how this takes place?

Not that I want to be judgemental, I probably will and I'd imagine you can expect a lot of judgemental replies.
Sorry,

I used to have conversations with God and believed I got replies. I 100% believed that God could and would communicate with anyone who'd actually listen.

I no longer believe this because of... reasons.

IDK, I don't think I would have been religious for as...

Okay, something simple. The grammatical status of the words "the truth". Those words means that there is one version of the truth. So there can't be different versions of the truth. That is simple to test: 2 examples are given now.

Someone: The truth of how the world is...
Me: Stop, you don't have to continue, because I can just do that differently and think differently about the truth than you. I.e. as long as humans can't in practice eliminate subjectivity, I just have to do something...
