Does the Quran support Theocracy?

Do you know the meaning of 110 C Fahrenheit in a tropical climate?

There is no such thing as ‘110 C Fahrenheit’.

Boru

Sorry, I meant 104 Degree Fahrenheit (40 Degree in my country)
 
On Reiki:
 
I have a second degree initiation since 2004. I’ve met several masters and practitioners. The entire thing is rather fascinating although I must agree it’s not for sceptics.

But there are more empirical version of bio energies.
 
There is almost nothing about it in Wikipedia, but I quit be a smoker thanks to something called Bio resonance therapy.
 
These are new techniques in our times. But I must remind you that acupuncture was also considered as being unscientific for the greatest part of the 20th century. I am also a believer in Ayurveda Medicine.
 
Of course all of these have to be taken with a grain of salt. Most of the time these things come with a price (even if you find the right guy). So I’m not too involved in that kind of thing. Maybe I will in the future.
 
I also believe that some ancient societies were far more efficient in working with these principles than us today. According to some Hindu cosmology we are in the beginning of the Dwapara (second) Yuga era. The end of the Dark Age happened in the year 1900 (This is the theory of someone called Sri Yukteswar). So we are still very material and almost 100 % material in our ways of seeing things. Yet we are still using more subtle elements like magnetism, electricity, radio waves etc. for our own benefits. So according to this theory we are slowly moving away from our more primal nature and into more sophisticated aspects of our potential as well.
 
So Cyanide asked me about benefits:
 
- There it is: Sadhguru says the first thing that we have to learn (even before the alphabet) is “Aham Brahmasmi” = I am the Universe.
 
That’s the simple looking stuff that makes all the difference. Think of empathy for instance. If empathy is one you have a normal man. if it’s 0 you have a Narcissist (also described as antagonistic personality). If it’s -1 the man is a sociopath and needs to be separated from the rest of the population.
 
So to make it simple: Think of the Movie “The Last Samurai” (Tom Cruise 2003). I never said that science is anything else but a great thing (The Quran says: “I was I secret Treasure and I wanted to be known”). So God and/or Brahma “Wants to be known”. That’s how I see it. But what about our inner nature. What about all the truth within us. This world we created (this world – not science) is all about how much do you have. How much do you get out of every-thing. How much more profit can I have. How can I use even the GD planets to my own benefit. Some of us have had it with this way of seeing things and placing ourselves at the center of everything. That’s why we have all of these disciplines not to replace science, not to make-up answers when we simply don’t know. But to simply be here now. Like being here in the present moment. Without pondering on the past. Without anticipating the future etc.
 
So I also think that this debate can end here if we want to because there are people who describe this stuff in a far better way than me. But that’s what we do. We learn to look within ourselves to find age old answers to them and we believe the answers are there.
 
More traditional believers may not be there yet. But I think they will get there as well.
 
So the only issue here is harmful behavior. To me: that’s not ok. Even things like whipping yourself in a religious way (some Muslims do that as well), that’s a clear sign that the person is not spiritual.
 
But just like in science, there has to be a critical mass. Things do evolve. We do evolve as well. When there is a critical mass in a group who says “Why do I care if someone is drawing pictures of our prophet? Who’s the idiot who makes that into a huge personal drama?” than the mentalities will evolve. And suddenly, there won’t be anyone coming to your door because they are unable to see that you already have a belief system within your own mind and are perfectly at peace with yourself being just the way you are.

So as a man in my country has once said: “All of my hope lies in the Youth”.
