I sing like an amputee. Can’t hold a note, can’t carry a tune.

Jeesh…who hurt you?!?

This isn’t funny or witty, just plain mean and unnecessary.

TLDR; We are the entire universe pretending to be an individual.

I like where you are going with it, but I think it’s more crazy than that. It seems that the idea of self/individual is an illusion. We think of our self’s as just our brain. But we are much more than that. There is an inter connectivity between our brain and the rest of our body that science is now just starting to understand. On top of that, we have everything else outside our body that we need to survive/can influence our health and train of thought.

As an example, think of all the things you can/can’t control with your body. Heart rate, digestion, fighting off infections, what mood you are in, etc.

This is where breath work in yoga/meditating comes in. It’s the most obvious example of a physiological process that is involuntary but also voluntary. Focus on that, and you can start blur the boundary between self and other.

So the question is, “where do “I” end, and where does “everything else” begin”?

Turns out that there is no solid or non-subjective answer to that.

It’s almost as if our ideas of “self” are an illusion in order to birth the evolutionary advantageous behavior of being social.

Anyway…I’m starting to feel the edible… have a great Labor Day!

Not a link to a Quran quote, but it mentions the 3 main ways Islamic teachings state to dispose of old/broken Qurans.

1.burying 2.placing in flowing water 3.burning

Also a fun fact, these only pertain to The Quran in Arabic. Any other language is not considered to be literally Allah’s words and does not have to be discarded in those ways.

Thank god! This makes me feel so much safer… 🙄

Ope, screw the UP I guess…
