A writing that needs you to put a title on it…

(This is the best that I can do for you, Palestinians, Israelis & the World…)

To begin, let me tell you… that I am a spiritual man, a Muslim, that sees the world beyond my bare eyes… and tastes it with my soul. I am here just to share. You can give any kind of reaction, but I am, just like most of you, trying to do something more than just pray to either ease the pain or end all kinds of suffering in the World, even though I know they will never end...

The World will forever be the World. It will never be something that it is not – the “you” and the “me”, ups and downs, peace and war, birth and death, here and there, now and then, sadness and happiness are all the reasons why we are here on this Earth – that is, to experience the dimension that contains the contrasts of life. Before we were born, we knew clearly that we were about to participate in a journey of illusions – “virtual” materialization and “etherealization” of the Formless.

Regardless of whether you are a Christian, a Judaist, a Buddhist, a Hindu, a Pagan, or just like me, a Muslim … or even if you just believe in Science rather than God, our holy books, notwithstanding whatever religion or faith we may profess, have reminded us all about this. All religions and beliefs in the World is like a labyrinth with many entrances - all the tricky paths lead to only one point – the Ultimate Love, the Beginning and the End.

I was, like many people I have met who try to understand our ultimate reality (whether Christians, Judaists, Buddhists, Hindus, Pagans or Muslims), embarked on spiritual journeys only to find out that we are the Destiny itself. God is experiencing His very own beauty and greatness through us. The reality is closer than what we think it is. Close our eyes now… and that is a representation of the reality – where the “you” and “me”, “I” and “God”, here and there, birth and death are just mere concepts… after all, in the static nothingness, how can we die if we are not born? But yet, here we are, we exist..

We sometimes depend on science to prove everything, and the best that science can do to prove that the world outside us exists, is to show that there’s a layer in our brain called “grey matter” – that translates all inputs into physical representations – take that out of the picture, and we are all in the ocean of the Formless. So while I am writing this, I know that on the one hand, it is for my own self, because there is a hidden and silent part of me that knows “YOU” do not exist, and on the other hand, it is yours, because “I” do not exist.

There is no “you” and “me”…
So your pain, is my pain…
And your joy, is my joy…

One of the gravest mistakes we consistently make, is to believe, without awareness, that our life and everything in it – our past and our future, our lands and our homes, our children and our parents, our friends and our foes - ALL belong to us. Whatever that is actually happening in Gaza as well as other parts of the Universe, is a journey taken not by us, but by God Himself.

Whatever that has happened were meant to happen, and they happened beyond our definitions of “good” and “evil”. We may draw a line, thick or thin between “good” and “bad” … but to God, both are the building blocks of His “beauty”. It is just us, who stand at a crossroad that can either build us up or tear us apart.

Because the Earth is exactly like you and me - a representation of God, it has its own Soul – its own ups and downs – manifested in us in the forms of Aeons, civilizations, eras and such. Now, we are in what is often referred to as “Troubled Times”. Like us, every strength is built upon tears, every success is built upon failures, the World will progress to what is known as the State of Imperium. You might question this (or call it by other names), but you can read between the lines of the World’s Dialectic of History.

Lately, we see the World uniting and sharing love and the spirit of Harmony. Just a few clicks away from this very page, you can see people spreading love and strength, from heart to heart, from a skin color to a different skin color, against a multi religious backdrop. Just like when a small part of our body hurts, our entire body feels it too, our spirit dimms out, our limbs do their tasks, just to make sure that the small part of us will be cured.

Soon enough, you will reach the final alphabet of my writing and begin to take sides; to either praise me or curse me, or may be maintain a “judge-not” position (which I would prefer you to take). Whatever position you may decide to take, let me say to you in advance - "Thank you".

Soon enough, you will give this writing a title – either nice ones or ugly ones... But before you do that, please…

(My beloved friends, this is the best I can do for Palestine, Israel and the World)

Join me for just one minute..

To close your eyes. Empty your mind ... Breath God … Focus on the well-deserved peacefulness in Gaza.. and feel, please don’t say it, but feel, deeply … towards your God – “I love you” and “I am so very sorry (for whatever mistakes I have done).”

(or if you are a Muslim FEEL, “Subhanallah” and “Astaghfirullahal Azim”)

Repeat this always, and it will not only bring you close to the Source within, but also help you to stay in the moment, that can.. TRUST ME, empower you to be the strong person you are, and above all, TRUST ME, cure the War…

Soon, Gaza will be cured, and the World will be a better home. Amin.

PS: You don’t have to be pressured to give this article a title... Because of my views and beliefs aren't that popular (even among Muslims and others) - even if I see it as the truth - leaving you with an empty title means, "you can judge me freely, but before you do that, join me in the prayer"(with some awareness of our reality) ... Actually, I would love the title to be just like it is .. Here goes my BIG HUG for you.. >:D< (that's a BIG Yahoo's hug!) I Love all of you! and Thanks for your prayer..

Saggitario...thank you for sharing your spiritual thoughts with us. Your beliefs are indeed very popular and they reflect the changing spritual road that humanity is now beginning to embark upon. This path reflects a new understanding that we are gaining towards religion. In fact, I think that the term religion is becoming obsolete because it reflects a narrow view of the bigger picture. Spiritual Belief might be a better term because it encompasses a greater view of God/Source, one that includes all religions as parts of the greater whole. These days as humanity continues its spiritual awakening we require a new paradigm that will reflect our spirituality back to us. Religion has outgrown its meaning and its usefulness to the masses. Where it once separated us and conflicted us with misunderstanding, disrespect and violence towards others, sprituality is becoming the universal thread that ties us all together regardless of the religious beliefs we were raised with. I would like to call your piece: Sagittario's Spiritual Manifesto..... peace & love to you my spritual brother

God is experiencing His very own beauty and greatness through us. The reality is closer than what we think it is.

This is my favorite thing you said because I agree completely. I believe that God resides within all of us and that all we need to do is look inward and there we'll find Him. This is difficult to do, but once you achieve this you will therefore achieve peace.

I liked Ruach post..i did not understand it..i did not grasp it..but it called out to me to listen.
Now i try to put in words what the voice(s) may have been saying..


To be in conflict with what is, is to be in conflict with God,

That which IS- the world "-is G-d.
that which is before, prior to us, before we project ourselves on it.

But to be in action does not necessarily mean to be in conflict.


Actions..people's actions that go against the "World's action..movement, dynamism.." introduce conflict.
Man's destructive, egocentric motion..drawing all into himself..versus World's Creative motion us violence.
(How about death? how about national catastrophes?? What kind of motions are these?)

Conflict begins in your heart your actions either reflect this conflict or reflect action out of love.


Conflict is not in our acts..but our attitude.

Yes….all that we see and experience is God in motion

If we SEE..look out at the world and EXPERIENCE IT..not try to take it over..then we experience G-d in motion. Seeing..looking at it from a a distance,,removed from ego., is a rejection of violence that we introduce into natures G-dly motion

Sadly there is a lot of conflict


Because we don't get beyond our Ego..(Look at Biblical Job...looks at the world as if everything was created for him...) Are we the origin of our enjoyment...trying to Absorb the world...or do we open ourselves up to the outside..to the world that is the origin of our enjoyment.

Naive to think that this will Cure Gaza? Maybe..but it is a prerequisite.. WIthout it there is no cure.
There will be much work to do..but to do it together requires stopping, breathing deep, asking for forgiveness, opening our hearts to our weaknesses and to accepting our neighbors..

We must stretch our hands in order to hug and in order to roll up our sleeves and work for the cure.

Thank you very much

May I suggest, my friend, "My One True Prayer For Us All" as your title.
And, from my heart--thank you for that prayer. My love, my hope, and my grace are with you, and you with me.

Saggi, I cant put a title to this, even though you ask, because it is a reflection of "your" light. And the stronger your light shines, and combines, the stronger "our" light becomes.
I Love you Saggi, I love your heart and your love of the world. And the more love there is, the stronger it becomes, and the stronger the combined force of love becomes, until it is stronger than what seeks to divide us.
And unites a world ruled by love.
Your words Saggi, should be best reflected by your words.
Listen to your heart, and it will come to your mind.
@Red, I understand the wisdom, of neither believing nor disbelieving. Yet seek and you shall find, and have knowledge/experience rather than belief.
I think belief helps, others to find what they believe they are looking for. Often brings them close enough, to see truth themselves, and truth then replaces any need for belief.
