    That was a musical conversation, do you understand what that means? And why Mozart made it so?

    Prayer works but it has nothing to do with god. Its the vibration that you create when you pray that makes it work. Sorta , the vibes you create opens a chanel where miracles can flow..

    This is something extraordinary, a testimony to how beautiful and astonishing humans can be. Alisa Sadikova (web page here) was only 9 years old when this was recorded.

    It may be worth while some readers listening carefully to all five minutes of her recital. One might somehow learn more about how "God" manifests in the world (whatever "God" is, means, or has been twisted to mean), than by reading every word on this thread or any other.

    To add an earthly political note, one also wonders if Alisa might soon be 'canceled' by western authorities. If so, one might wonder what exactly their intention was — and, if there is an anthropomophic (human-like) 'God" watching all this play out, how he might judge all that. (Harshly, one hopes. ) That too may be worth a few seconds thought.

    This is just my opinion. If you ask me, I see only a poor man who has abused so much with drugs,alchool...etc, that has lowered his life to a level to lose almost everything.

    "A giant loss for humanity, but a good day for just the few in control"

    I also think Mozart was not writing his pieces at all, more like he was 'remembering' the music and taking notes, otherwise how could something like this could happen? I don't think he was unaware of it, and that's why he went all crazy and his life ended too soon, he just could not handle this 'reality'. "I think" being the most important thing lol

    Why is this music so pure and exceptional? So pure that maybe it is not 'human' music at all. Such a tremendous longing feeling, such a tremendous pain and happiness at the same time? What was he feeling that he described here? We only get the 'summary' of it, think about it, whatever he felt was way stronger than this, we just will never know

    Maybe the question should have been "Which God do you believe in"

    There is no black & white version of this reality, it is not that how things works. "Either you believe or not in my God" is not a honest question, or a truthful one(it is tainted by your belief system)

    It should be more like "what do you think of this or that" But don't put people against a wall, that's why i felt all wrong about it and acted against, see? You created division and gave the monster some energy to become aware of your existence and come here to eat your soul


    "I don't believe in the devil.. Well you should, because he for sure believes in you"

    Don't do the devil's job while thinking you are doing God's job

    This life is maintained in balance for the purpose of testing. When a great event cause the balance to be broken, than you see many people rushing to pray and ask God for help. In a time of a great disaster or miracle, you see almost all people in that place to believe in God, but once they are secure and live a normal life, than they forget about that.

    True.

    I've also noticed that people tend to get more and more religious the closer and closer they get to the end.

    Abrahamic religions are the worst type of psy-op, a really nefarious psy-op, that has happened to humans in the last couple of thousands of years.

    All the evil brought upon this planet and all beings on it far outweighs little good they have brought to some individuals.

    My guess is that yahweh/allah (it's the same being) is either some really nasty demon, or some alien warlord.

    That thing is not a "god", and not the Creator of my spirit.

    Hi neighbour,

    The 10 commandments are a miniscule part of abrahamic faiths.

    Should I start posting verses from ot / quran where yahweh / allah incite/order rape, murder, maiming, genocide etc.

    We all know how many people died in "holy wars" and we are all familiar with atrocities commited in the name of abrahamic god.

    The 10 commandments are the foundations of all Scriptures from the religion of Abraham, be that a muslim, christian or jew. You can get a verse here and there, but we will lose time in commenting the details, because it will be only interpretation. For those who died in "holy" wars, you must know that both part claimed to be in the name of God, but in the end the truth, will not always side with one group or maybe in anyone of them. So do not interpret a Scripture, based on human actions.

    Well, the foundation for Adolf Hitlers actions was love for his people, and white people in general. Does that make him a good guy?

    10 commandments might be a good thing, but they come from a book full of evil, made by evil people, in the name of an evil "god", with evil agenda behind it.

    When yahweh/allah directly orders believers to mame, rape, steal from and murder "unbelievers", there is no room for interpretations. It's all there in "holy books".

    The greatest psy-op ever in recent history.

    I have spent a great amount of time in Scriptures and mostly understood that verses about wars are to protect something sacred, not to invade. Know the difference between protecting and invading. When an enemy comes to fight, we don't say welcome, but we fight back. Your anger about the Scriptures must come from texts of other sources or people actions, not that you have read carefully about them.

    Share your interpretation, for example, of this quran verse for me, please:

    "Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them,"(Quran, 9:5) Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites! ... Hell shall be their home, an evil fate."

    Or these two from the ot:

    1 Samuel 15:3

    “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

    Exodus 21:20–21

    Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves.
