dingformung Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Allah is a possibility of existence. Existence is older than Allah, but it can be expressed in Him. Allah is faceless and yet has many faces. Allah is destiny, he expresses himself in a perfect interplay of all elements of being. He is like a diamond. Everything interlocks, it is firmly interlinked and ultimately perfect. Existence, the supreme principle, can also be expressed in formlessness, in the lack of interlocking of all things. Allah is a face of existence. Existence knows imperfection, even non-existence. Islam is one way of many that tries to make the unspeakable expressable. Allah is a possibility. There are other possibilities, but existence can manifest as Allah. Islam is right and wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingformung Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 It is a possibility that expresses itself in the form of Allah. The mind, the heart and the body are all three needed to perceive and to express existence. The body is not simply a vehicle for the soul. The body also has a soul, which feels its way into existence. The soul of the body is its essence. It is more than an idea, it is like a rainbow or a dream. Allah exists only through mankind and through nature. He can only be reached by man and nature as a whole. Islam says: It is not so important whether you eat pork or not, what matters most of all is your belief in Allah and your way of life as His servant - which way do you choose? The Koran tells us that the shape of Allah cannot be shown or painted, because it would have to be shown or painted by man; this would be an act of hubris on man's part; so one cannot even try to think about it: rather one must feel for it. Existence cannot be expressed if we are thinking about it; we must feel for it - but where does one feel? Where does one find this feeling? Through man! Through love! Through art! And through prayer! One must pray with one's heart! One must listen to what existence wants from us! One must listen with all one's senses, with eyes and ears open for every little sign that comes from existence!

Pretty sure the grey dots were just a reflection of your post count, like you'd get another one when you'd hit a milestone number of posts like 100, 2K, 10K, etc. They got harder to get the further you got on, hence the aura of prestige that would come with a sixth or even seventh dot. but hey what do I know I'm just a Elite Forum Grand Wizard Sergeant-at-Large (43/42) with a 100 Pizzazz badge 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 It’s my birthday today and when I noticed I got a text from the corner of my eye I thought it was from one of the many people in my life that could possibly be kind and considerate enough to stay up late to be amongst the very first to congratulate me. It was a phishing text from my bank alerting me to a future withdrawal. Guess I’m now of an age where these phishing cats consider me old enough to possibly fall for their schemes. 4 hours ago, dingformung said: I think I'm just the sum of my influences.

I wanna be less boring and more better judt a word for me so i can transcend thanks talk please You’re overlooking the fact that even though you might be the sum of your influences nobody in the entire world has the exact same influences as you do and nobody has or will ever combine these influences or be affected by them in the way you are. FACT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingformung Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) I can be a self-loathing goof who is unable to build any real relationship with others because I'm too self-absorbed to invest any true effort and risk. This is kind of okay, though. Could be worse. Usually, when I interact with others, it's about ME (and I feel that goes for most other people as well).

user Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 In anticipation of the activation of a new EU import tax regulation per July 1st I ordered some parts from tayda a little over two weeks ago. For the last 2 years it’s taken dhl about 7 days to deliver orders from tayda. This time however it seems to be taking much longer and I’m starting to suspect dhl is purposely holding small shipments so they can collect admin fees on packages delivered after July 1st. Although now that I’ve typed it out I’m realising it would probably also cost them a fair sum to withhold any significant number of packages from delivery for any number of days. It is what it is, guess we’ll never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) My (rather dated) GPU started making awful noises yesterday... took it out and tried to do some deep cleaning this morning but one of the tiny screws holding the fan is overtightened and I cannae twist the fucker, so I couldn't get the shroud off. Many q-tips and much ISO later, here's hoping it survives until prices come down in, what, two years? Edited June 26, 2021 by luke viia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty loyal to Makita so I'd be dropping like $400... and I'd much rather spend it on books and a hammock. But after having to cut a (luckily small, <6"dia) fallen tree a few hundred feet from the house with a gorram handsaw this morning, and then dragging its 15ft carcass to the edge of the woods instead of repeatedly torturing myself with more sawing, I'm reeeaall tempted #leastidm2021 I need to get a circ saw instead of borrowing my friend’s all the time. Like you, I’m preferable to Makita. Expensive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
