    How God looks like?

    One could reply that it looked like Shiny Light, but I know better. It was "Heightened perception of reality." People, things around felt extremely real and full of Life and Love. It was not near-death experience. And I have seen my Guardian Angel as well. He was like warm fire. He has kissed...

    Choosing to be offended

    You frequently hear people say something along the lines of: "If you're offended by what I say, it's because you chose to be offended." In my experience, the people who say such things tend to be the most abrasive and irritating conversation partners by a mile, and often also tend to have...

    Do You Believe In What You Haven't Experienced?

    Do you believe in anything you have not experienced personally? Of so, what is it and what led you to believe it? If you have not experienced it, do you have evidence of it? If you have no experience of it and no evidence of it, why do you choose to believe in it?

    Experiencing God

    I've come across people here on the forum and elsewhere and have read accounts in which people say that they have heard God, seen God, or experienced God in some other way. Can God be seen, heard, or experienced in normal waking consciousness? Or must one be in an altered state consciousness...

    Experiencing... Who, What, and Why?

    “Anything that is not a living experience for you is just a fairy tale, isn't it so?” ~ Sadhguru What does your religion/belief structure or personal knowledge tell you about your true nature, who you actually are, if anything, beyond the body and mind? Do the experiences of others have any...

    Accomplished Teacher or Mystical Experience?

    Given the subjectivity of faith and religion, is it best to learn religious and/or spiritual knowledge from an accomplished teacher or through mystical experiences? Why? From which would you consider knowledge to be more valid? Why? For the purposes of this thread, we will define...

    Scripture or Experience?

    There are those that claim that religious truth is found in Scripture, be it the Bible, the Quran, The Bhavagad Gita, the Principia Discordia, or other sacred texts. My question to you is this: Is it better to learn from a subject's biographer, or from the subject Him/Her/Itself? In other...

    How does one have a religious/spiritual experience.

    From the looks of things in previous threads I am missing out on something but not having had a religious/spiritual experience in my life. At least none that I would qualify as real or as grand as others have claimed to have had. So what does one do to have a religious experience? Is there a...
