《My spirituality journal》The true nature of our souls
Advertisement
"We are here to awaken to the reality of our true identity - that we are sparks of the Eternal Imperishable Spirit, who is the source of all Creation and the very essence of our being."
- Shriram Sharma Acharya
The following text belongs from an article I found on . I thought you might want to read it too 😉
Our souls are subsets of God himself. Just as the sum-total of all cells in an organism is one person, so is each soul like one cell of consciousness and the sum total of all such cells is God - the Supreme Soul - the Universal Consciousness. Therefore the limitless attributes of God including goodness, purity and perfection are already present in our souls. Divinity thus is our real nature.
Since consciousness preceded the formation of space, it does not obey the laws of space, and therefore it cannot be restricted by space. Like the air we breathe, the subtle force of consciousness is present everywhere. In other words it is omnipresent; it permeates everything. Moreover since space cannot confine consciousness, that is to say, it cannot trap consciousness in a particular spot or keep it within certain boundaries, consciousness is formless. It has no shape.
Now we also know that time too cannot affect consciousness because the ocean of consciousness existed before time even began. Thus consciousness is eternal and immortal because in the subtle realms where it exists time holds no meaning. The primal force of consciousness has always existed - it was never born and it will never die it.
The above two points lead us to an even grander conclusion. That which cannot be confined by space or limited by time must necessarily be infinite. Therefore this vast ocean of consciousness, which we call God, is omnipresent, formless, eternal, immortal and infinite.

What's more, if something is infinite, it cannot be divided into separate individual parts, otherwise it will cease to be infinite and become the finite. Therefore just as a wave cannot be separated from the ocean, our souls too are an indivisible and integral part of God and are necessarily, omnipresent, formless, eternal, immortal and infinite.
Hence, the Upanishads declare . That immanent one (God), is the same that is in the human soul. Not only that but you are Him - you are that one principle that has been manifesting itself as this variety of Creation.
And so, we echo the immortal words of Swami Vivekananda "Realize your true nature. That is all there is to do. Know yourself as you are - the infinite spirit. You are souls pure, eternal and perfect. The might of the universe is in you. "Why weepest thou, my friend? There is neither birth nor death for thee. Why weepest thou? There is neither disease nor misery for thee, but thou art like the infinite sky, clouds of various colours come over it, play for a moment, and then vanish. But it is the same eternal blue.
So stand up and assert the divinity within you. Proclaim the God within you do not deny!"
Peace ✌️

Magic-Farming
A thought experiment gone out of control, inspired by kosnik4's popular story, Magic-Smithing. What would life be like for someone else who was transported to the world inside Magic-Smithing? Someone who wasn't as prone to encounter incresasingly dangerous people, whose life was a little less chaotic? What if this person was content with a simple life of farming? Tending to the plants, sowing seeds, and reaping a great harvest at the end of the year. Of course, he's also a data scientist, so he can't help but squeeze out the maximum possible efficiency of his time and the potential of his attributes. Who doesn't make excel spreadsheets in their spare time? This is a slightly more "Slice of Life" esque version of kosnik4's story. Hopefully lighthearted, funny, and as enjoyable to read as it is thinking of increasingly ridiculous skill progressions. Thanks to kosnik4 and Magic-Smithing for providing fertile grounds for creativity to thrive. NOTE: THIS IS A FAN FICTION, AND ALL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS BELONG TO KOSNIK4. I'm a patron of his story, and love reading about what happens next in his story. I've tried my best to be as accurate to his canon science as possible, though it's not 100% feasible. Afterall, the story isn't even done yet! My plan for the releases is to release a single chapter a day until 3/7, and then release 4 chapters a week on M, W, F, & Sat. P.S. If anyone can figure out what the EXACT formula for Level XP is, I'd love to hear it. I'm starting to doubt my math and excel capabilities. I have an equation that is fairly accurate and stays close to his values, but not exactly the same.

This is my own little star wars fantasy and wish fulfilment so don't come expecting overly complex plots and fully fleshed out galaxy. Hopefully I will be able to make this fun. Also I won't be decribing the species often, so you're going to have to look them up yourself. There are just too many to constantly be describing them beyond their garb.
