    • @mostarac7297
      @mostarac7297 2 месяца назад +1

      Ivan Aguéli was not mentally ill. Unless you like many in the West consider anyone who converts to Islam crazy. He was somewhat eccentric in lifestyle or more precisely politically radical .He was most likely murderer for being suspected of being an Ottoman spy like almost all other prominent converts to Islam in the West were. He actually accomplished a great deal during his short life and probably would have accomplished more had he not got caught up in the Europe’s WWI mess.

    On a certain level, we have a drug store in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.

They are oceans of enlightenment in their own sciences, Hallaj was crucified and killed violently according to fariduddin attar’s tedhkiratul awliya. There are 2 translations out there one by AJ arberry, another one as well. But you have done a few videos on tedhkiratul awliya, why not a few more about the accurate hagiographies from these unique muslim identities: Abu Yazid, Hallaj, Al Junayd. Also Abdul Qadir Jilani much later on would be fascinating to do a 2 part in depth of everything about him, there is so much legend surrounding abdul qadir that I honestly dont know how to approach him as a figure. Abdul Qadir’s schools are still very strongly alive today

    I think you’re great btw and I think that you’re a great person which is a big deal because I don’t think that way about rly many people at all these days.
    I think what you may long for is a place that doesn’t have a name. It doesn’t have a name because it is a place that doesn’t exist. It’s the emptiness everywhere where something could be, but now there’s nothing.
    “Nothing isn’t better or worse than anything. Nothing is just nothing.” - Arya Stark
    Look up Shar in this new video game Baldurs Gate 3. Listen to what shars followers say about her, especially ShadowHeart and her mother superior (before you approach her.) You can also listen to Shar herself in the game.
    Shar I think is based colloquially off of the Greek goddess Nyx, the goddess of the night. There’s a story that Zeus wanted to seek revenge against someone but that someone took refuge in the house of Nyx and once Zeus saw where his target now was residing he turned tail immediately, afraid… it’s weird we don’t talk about her.
    Shar is I think the closest personification to Satan as you can get rly, at least that I have seen. Evil and evil acts are just the tools that they use to get to their inevitable goal which is to return to nothing. That place that Shar promises the heartbroken and the weary for relief. It’s better because if nothing is here, then nothings amiss. You can’t _lose_ nothing.
    “It’s Satans dictum, it’s the belief that life is so terrible that it was better that it was replaced by nothing.”

      He truly went insane in a 19th-century context. Today, he likely would have received a specific diagnosis. His condition went beyond mere anxiety and depression. Several biographies written in recent years describe his illness in full detail. In 19th-century terms, he was considered insane, or "galen" in Swedish. While we wouldn't use these words today, they fit within their historical context. The words "insanity" or "galenskap" had associations with the concept of the genius artist.
