The fact that we, Arabic-speaking average people(aka non-journalists), have to keep up with translating Palestinian posts from Arabic to English to avoid having Western Media/Pro-Zionists mistranslate on purpose, says enough about how we all lost trust in the media. From the "there's a list" guy who was standing in front of a calendar and condemning the days of the week, to the BBC's mistranslation of a freed Palestinian hostage's interview. I will try my best to keep translating whatever I can find, and I encourage my fellow bilingual/multilingual Arabs to do the same. It's already sad enough that Palestinian journalists and even children have to use English in videos instead of their native tongue in order to get the world leaders' attention.
Please keep speaking about Palestine.
These aren't the things children should watch or experience.

I said to a man:
“I want a house near a people who do not backbite, nor do they envy, nor do they hate (anyone).”
So the man took me to the graveyard and said to me:
“This is where you find them!”

I think I'm close to the void, but i just need to work on my self-concept a little bit more. I'll probably disabled my Tumblr acc and stop over consuming information. I've learned a lot of things in the past few months from here. and i won't give up until i achieve my dream life. cause i deserve utmost happiness 🩰🎀
can you simplify the concept of the void state for me pls? I wanna forget everything and start from a clean slate
HOLY SHIT FUCK YEAH.
okay.
Void = a place where your awareness exists only.
What's awareness?:
Something that is tethered to your body, keeps you "aware" of everything around you and whatever that will happen around you, it goes out of our body during some occasions.
When does the awareness becomes something different from the body?:
During quite a lot of things.
Sleep = awareness exists alone, but body and mind is not aware of it and is asleep.
Dissociation = awareness is slightly tethered from the body, yet mind is asleep and body is actually awake.
Void = awareness exists alone, and body is asleep but the mind is wide awake.
These are some examples, now, you have a pretty easy good idea that the void is something we always go into, right? But in another term called "sleep"
Now so many people complicate this so much, like- no the void is not magical, nor is it something so special no one can enter, the awareness is literally in you and you can just make your mind awake whenever your awareness slips off.
You see, it's just like the questions kids ask when they are curious "what happens when we sleep?"
You know when you're dozing off and suddenly your body feels heavy or far away? That’s your awareness slipping.
could make the concept click faster right???
Our awareness gets tethered away from the body, and your mind and body shut down.
You just gotta keep your mind aware of the fact that your awareness is slipped off the body.
That's.
Literally.
All.
LIKE SEE HOW EASY IT IS???? people make it sound something so big when you can have access to anytime seriously, it's nothing hard, nothing that requires time literally nothing, people make it a big deal because nothing exists there hence manifestation is immediate.
Which manifesting was always immediate.
When you create/imagine something in your mind, there are no circumstances, there is no negativity or lack.
You can simply just be who you are and have exactly what you want.
That is our power. We can imagine anything, absolutely anything. And we do it over and over again and experience it every single time.
What we experience each time is our reality. It isn't something that has to happen just because it is so, it is something we can choose every single time with our thoughts.
Now the 3D is the thing that has to happen no matter what. It HAS to reflect our thoughts and assumptions.
So do yourself a favour and imagine and experience the things you actually want instead of dwelling in what you don't want.
I remember the other day @/el-shab-hussein was talking about an article about a Palestinian (among other identities!) Arab Jewish woman and her experience as an Arab Jew and I think he was referring to this by Hader Cohen:
You opinions on the void state and Islam? Like what do you think is happening there from an Islamic perspective.
if i'm being honest, I think what happens in the void is all your minds doing. yes, I know ultimately everything that happens is only if Allah wills it to happen, but hear me out.
you know how humans have been referred to as "the best of creation"? what makes us different from every other creation is the mind, and how it works for us.
whenever you think of something, your reality always adheres to it. your mind always works for you, and so when you feed it an idea, it transforms your reality accordingly.
now, in the void, there is absolutely no barrier between you and your subconscious mind. none at all. so when you feed it a thought, it instantly brings it to reality. all of this happens with the will of Allah ofcourse, and everything that comes, comes from Him. but it happens in the void state so instantly because you beyond a 100% believe that yeah, you're gonna have what you want.
so your mind works together with Allah's decree. He wills, and you enter the void. He wills, and you "bring" everything you want into existence. because if He didn't will it, you could enter the void a thousand times, but still won't be able to utter a single desire you want manifested.
so what happens in the void state from an Islamic perspective is, to me, you just being in your purest form, without any attachment to your body or anything else, and simply putting your desires infront of Allah with a belief of above a 100% that you will have them, and that He'll give them to you.
so yeah! that's how I view it.
Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
الْغِنَى فِي الْقَلْبِ وَالْفَقْرُ فِي الْقَلْبِ مَنْ كَانَ الْغِنَى فِي قَلْبِهِ لا يَضُرُّهُ مَا لَقِيَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَنْ كَانَ الْفَقْرُ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَلا يُغْنِيهِ مَا أَكْثَرَ لَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّمَا يَضُرُّ نَفْسَهُ شُحُّها
Wealth is in the heart and poverty is in the heart. Whoever is wealthy in his heart will not be harmed no matter what happens in the world. Whoever is impoverished in his heart will not be satisfied no matter how much he has in the world. Verily, he will only be harmed by the greed of his own soul.
