I think you are talking about anti-natalism right? Similar to the likes of Al Maari or Zapffe or Benatar or Ligotti or Cioran? I myself are an avid reader of these philosophy books (not all of them I like, but I find many of them, and anti-natalism itself interesting if not appealing haha. Especially that of consent, or of Al Maari who says he has not passed down the "curse" his father passed down to him, or of Zapffe who, and I would agree too, when he talks about consciousness and that it is in a way overevolved like Deer with overmassive antlers and is antibiological, Although I am of course not one). In islam we believe every soul said that it wants to be in this earth/come into the test lol. Quite simple. "And ˹remember˺ when your Lord brought forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants and had them testify regarding themselves. ˹Allah asked,˺ “Am I not your Lord?” They replied, “Yes, You are! We testify.” ˹He cautioned,˺ “Now you have no right to say on Judgment Day, ‘We were not aware of this.’" (Surah Al Araf verse 172) "And remember the favor of Allah upon you and His covenant with which He bound you when you said, "We hear and we obey"; and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the chests."(Surat Al-Mā'idah,verse 7) Do we remember being asked about this? Of course not lol because we do not remember or know what happens before we exist. The same way we cannot say we did not consent to come into existence, and indeed God alone is the all knowing.
Eternal life is true being, of true self, true genuine feeling in spirit that can be found & experienced in immersion of music & art(energy is of life, symbology is language of Spirit). You will not have eternal life if is not already in you -- those of whom are blessed, nourish this state daily in rejoicing, dance, expression; being. THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WITHIN YOU -- not all find it. Requires a key.
All living beings are eternal only our material body is temporary our consciousness is eternal. eternal life is pure, true, unlimited, infinite, full of compassion, real world where GOD resides. We are in simulated reality after bodily death our consciousness enters in conscious reality or eternal life which is real & fundamental reality in all realities & Supreme conscious (GOD) governs conscious reality & our consciousness comes back again & again in material body in different life forms in this simulated reality which is created by GOD so that conscious beings can live & experience this reality for their desire for different things. But we have to remember that we are eternal beings only our material body is temporary our consciousness is immortal, it will give us inner peace & happiness this is reality. This is what i think & believe & i am not compelling anyone to believe in what i think.
It is my belief/wish that in the after life we will be able to travel freely through time. To observe all aspects of the past [and perhaps the future] would fully alleviate boredom.
@@micheal74rich No, I don't believe in Heaven or Hell or in any religion, gods, or holy books. I don't believe there is an afterlife either...and I won't believe until these things can be demonstrated to be true. All religion has to do is demonstrate that these things exist in reality. I am a former Christian and it took me a very long time to get over the fear of Hell thanks to indoctrination at any early age. FYI--Hell, in the Bible, was not eternal torment, it was death.
That’s the dilemma for the religious community. Do you believe because you want heaven, or to avoid hell? Personally, I have need for either mystical place.
I have not been alive for almost all the the universe’s 13.8 B years. Soon, I will return to that state. That’s how I will spend eternity. May you stay healthy and safe. p.s. It’s a brief ride. I encourage everyone to enjoy the hell out of it. LOL.
You are an immortal soul. You have always been and you will always BE. Good advise to enjoy the ride but when this ride is over you can enjoy the next ride and the one after that - if you do wish.

I disagree with many things that conservative/traditional intellectual like Dr. Nasr believe, but I do like them because they are the loud and stubborn indicators of the fact that all we know is somhow based on a body of formerly useful traditional knowledge. I never fell for the idea of exceptionality of modern man.
I think we have to be very careful when talking about eternal life to define it properly. Even if eternal life is true that doesn't necessarily mean we will get an extension on the life we have already lived after we die. Eternal life could just be a repetition of the old life we once had. History could just keep repeating itself but with nothing new being added to the mix. There is the possibility however that each repetition could be slightly different. We can only talk about possibilities because we don't really know the truth. If we knew the truth then we wouldn't have to keep guessing all the time. The truth is real. It is not something that is just dreamed up in the human mind.
@@TeaParty1776our imagination is just part of reality. People telling lies is also part of reality. Neither the truth nor reality is constructed from the human imagination but we can use our imagination to help us look for the truth and to invent things.

Naser gave this man the truth but he is unable to receive it. Naser is not a religious nut, he understands bc he has seen. So get over the question is there a higher intelligence behind the creation. The question is why does God create? Why does he condescend to make the universe and His children?
@@garychartrand7378 Spirituality is abstracting from the physical and material to meanings and purposes of a higher nature. Withdrawing oneself from the immediate sensual and material to the soul for self control and governance. Spiritual people develop a soul by restraining self for noble acts in self control. People who have sensual lusts, delights, fears, laws and natural affairs as their controls are called unspiritual and soulless. Such that do not have internal locus of soul, but a locus in externals like authorities and ruling desires.
@@brandursimonsen4427 you are almost babbling. No one 'develops' a soul - they are a natural part of our being.

The human BEINGS that we are is because we have fretless loving immortal souls. Love will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do the right thing. Now take a look at the world around you. Is it being run by humans or human BEINGS. Is it Fear or Love that's dominate. I am so sad for you humans. You don't even realize that you are the problem - definitely not the solution.

It's like peace and joy that words cannot express. One thing I'm sure of is that God is not bored after all eternity and so I sure that His offspring are also not bored.

We are placed here for a brief moment to accumulate light and warmth (love) so that we can become as bright of a star as we can be...shining in heaven (joy, beauty and harmony). Love (god) knows every star by name. We accumulate light and warmth (love) by appreciating this paradise planet lifeboat and the miraculous works of fine art called "life" that inhabit it. If we extinguish our light and warmth (love) with ignorance (greed)...we become the darkness and emptiness that surrounds the stars. Both here on this physical plane called earth...like it is on the metaphysical pane we call heaven. Currently, the evangelical counting corpses have convinced themselves that Jesus (love) has "saved" them from greed and it's ignorance (hate). How convenient. But they are sadly mistaken. The evangelical vampires (greed) are like the darkness and emptiness that surrounds the stars. And that is what they will become after they drop the clothing of this physical pane. Love (god) knows every star by name. But Love doesn't know the darkness and emptiness that surrounds the stars.
FORGET Religion...once you bring science and religion together you only create conflict..IF eternal life is a possibility then it is linked to Consciousness. IF brain does NOT produce consciousness, then eternal life is highly possible. I prefer to think of 'life after death' as merely an altered state of consciousness, independent of brain.
So close. Check out on TH-cam Thomas Campbell. ANYTHING and religion will create conflict. It is the nature of religion. Spirituality though is a horse of a different color.

Religions need followers. That is why religions are so vague about their descriptions of the allegedly wonderful afterlife. They lure people to join religions by promising eternal joy in the afterlife. But if the religions would offer specific descriptions of that 'joy,' it would not be what some people want. Therefore, being more specific would mean to lose followers.
Heaven and hell are within us, and all the gods are within us. This is the great realization of the Upanishads of India in the ninth Century B.C. All the gods, all the heavens, all the world, are within us.
@@phuzbrain Have you watched a movie called Thor: Ragnarok, on this movie, one 'god' tries to over power herself against another 'god' and tries to subdue another 'god'. If the reality like that, then there would be confusion in heavens and Earth, each 'god' would try to fight against another 'god', just like it in the Hindu mythology, so in short Christians theology is like the Hindu mythology where one 'god' fights with another 'god'.

It doesn’t. This is a white was western interpretation. Here is a better thing to think of…where else in existence can a human enter a place where there are animals trees pleasurable mountains waters and desires taken care of…here on earth… meaning that the paradise of Islam is the reincarnation of souls back on the earth. This is the divine will of Satan and not god because Satan does not want souls to leave the earth and return to god whose real heaven has no words in which to describe it
Just imagine those Christians who are less fortune in this World, then they die and go to next World hereafter and they find themselves empty there as well, you are empty in this World and you are empty in the hereafter.

Well spiritual people experienced paradise. Wether it's in Islam (jana), christianity (heaven), Hinduism (mokhsha), mystics have spent their lifetime having spiritual experiences, writing books on it, sharing and exchanging about their experiences between masters, discussing, disagreeing, arriving to common response..
Why did he says that because with life comes suffering. But the concept of paradise is that there is absolutely no suffering. Hence everlasting life just means everlasting pleasure, tranquility, peace and happiness. It's a transcendental state that humans cannot fully imagine
I'm sorry to contradict the statement that sexual union trumps hunger. It is a well known fact that prisoners in Nazi' s concentration camps were much more obsessed with food than sex. No question. After all, in order to appreciate the best part of sexual union you need to be healthy in the first place. In order of vital importance in life: 1) drinking 2) eating 3) company 4) Sex. So the learned Islamic philosopher is only the product of our modern times... a patriarchal self serving society.
The paradise for life is the reproduction system life itself has meaning and its meaning is coded in us to reproduce to create more intelligent life here so we can have more possibilities with better outcomes!
@@sinistergeek You can try to describe it but you know that the reality and the experience is absolutely beyond words. And indeed many mystics have attempted to describe it.

@@Yameen200 thats what theology and philosophy tells us. That doesn't make it true. Man even we are unique by our fingerprints, like a unique id of a product. We are products of someone or something. He created energy, material, 4 dimensions. He is probably not made of by something he made. He is unfathomable for our minds. To me experience/meet/observer/feel GOD is heaven
That your life was forced on you rather than offered to you is a fact you can only resent.
I'm sure we can do something about that.
How can life be offered to non-existence? You have to live to be make that choice, you can always drown yourself to realize this freedom you desire.
Existence and Nonexistence are mutually exclusive states. But Life is a phenomenon that's exclusive to only the one of those states.
I think you are talking about anti-natalism right? Similar to the likes of Al Maari or Zapffe or Benatar or Ligotti or Cioran? I myself are an avid reader of these philosophy books (not all of them I like, but I find many of them, and anti-natalism itself interesting if not appealing haha. Especially that of consent, or of Al Maari who says he has not passed down the "curse" his father passed down to him, or of Zapffe who, and I would agree too, when he talks about consciousness and that it is in a way overevolved like Deer with overmassive antlers and is antibiological, Although I am of course not one).
In islam we believe every soul said that it wants to be in this earth/come into the test lol. Quite simple.
"And ˹remember˺ when your Lord brought forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants and had them testify regarding themselves. ˹Allah asked,˺ “Am I not your Lord?” They replied, “Yes, You are! We testify.” ˹He cautioned,˺ “Now you have no right to say on Judgment Day, ‘We were not aware of this.’" (Surah Al Araf verse 172)
"And remember the favor of Allah upon you and His covenant with which He bound you when you said, "We hear and we obey"; and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the chests."(Surat Al-Mā'idah,verse 7)
Do we remember being asked about this? Of course not lol because we do not remember or know what happens before we exist. The same way we cannot say we did not consent to come into existence, and indeed God alone is the all knowing.
Beautiful
Eternal life is true being, of true self, true genuine feeling in spirit that can be found & experienced in immersion of music & art(energy is of life, symbology is language of Spirit). You will not have eternal life if is not already in you -- those of whom are blessed, nourish this state daily in rejoicing, dance, expression; being.
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WITHIN YOU -- not all find it. Requires a key.
It’s gardens all the way up, and all the way down. There’s even a garden inside us. Of course, there has to be a gardener.
All living beings are eternal only our material body is temporary our consciousness is eternal. eternal life is pure, true, unlimited, infinite, full of compassion, real world where GOD resides. We are in simulated reality after bodily death our consciousness enters in conscious reality or eternal life which is real & fundamental reality in all realities & Supreme conscious (GOD) governs conscious reality & our consciousness comes back again & again in material body in different life forms in this simulated reality which is created by GOD so that conscious beings can live & experience this reality for their desire for different things. But we have to remember that we are eternal beings only our material body is temporary our consciousness is immortal, it will give us inner peace & happiness this is reality.

We aren't modern
I think we have to be very careful when talking about eternal life to define it properly. Even if eternal life is true that doesn't necessarily mean we will get an extension on the life we have already lived after we die. Eternal life could just be a repetition of the old life we once had. History could just keep repeating itself but with nothing new being added to the mix. There is the possibility however that each repetition could be slightly different. We can only talk about possibilities because we don't really know the truth. If we knew the truth then we wouldn't have to keep guessing all the time. The truth is real. It is not something that is just dreamed up in the human mind.
Possibilities of concrete reality or your imagination?
@@TeaParty1776our imagination is just part of reality. People telling lies is also part of reality. Neither the truth nor reality is constructed from the human imagination but we can use our imagination to help us look for the truth and to invent things.

Eternal life not a promise, it's a curse. We have to go through the hell of this body ,or the next, until we give it up for serving all living things.
WOW. Have you got it wrong
He needs to read the book What is Islam? By G A Parwez to know about the Quranic interpretation.

There is no gender in the hereafter ... whatever self's state in which leave this life.. the next life starts from there.
Naser gave this man the truth but he is unable to receive it. Naser is not a religious nut, he understands bc he has seen. So get over the question is there a higher intelligence behind the creation. The question is why does God create? Why does he condescend to make the universe and His children?
Very focused on the sensual as the ultimate and paradise. How can the ultimate and only real be spiritual. Is there spirituality ?
I am not sure what you mean by "Is there spirituality?".
@@garychartrand7378 Spirituality is abstracting from the physical and material to meanings and purposes of a higher nature. Withdrawing oneself from the immediate sensual and material to the soul for self control and governance. Spiritual people develop a soul by restraining self for noble acts in self control. People who have sensual lusts, delights, fears, laws and natural affairs as their controls are called unspiritual and soulless. Such that do not have internal locus of soul, but a locus in externals like authorities and ruling desires.
@@brandursimonsen4427 you are almost babbling. No one 'develops' a soul - they are a natural part of our being.

The human BEINGS that we are is because we have fretless loving immortal souls. Love will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do the right thing. Now take a look at the world around you. Is it being run by humans or human BEINGS. Is it Fear or Love that's dominate. I am so sad for you humans. You don't even realize that you are the problem - definitely not the solution.

@@garychartrand7378 apeirophobia is the fear of the eternal or everlasting life, even I've had it, people don't realize what forever is like, they think like: ok its cool. But once you try to conceive the eternal life, you will get crazy and want to never exist ever again, life without end is pointless, everything eventually has to come to an end, death is the end of our individuality, there is no me after Death, and what you call as soul or conciousness will leave the body and turn into heat, and all your memories, thoughts, fears, abilities, will disappear after death
When people are no longer able to retire and have to work until death... that's the closest to eternal life most people will get.

Interesting. Our religious/cultural biases vs your religious/cultural biases and what you get wrong about ours.
We are placed here for a brief moment to accumulate light and warmth (love) so that we can become as bright of a star as we can be...shining in heaven (joy, beauty and harmony).
Love (god) knows every star by name.
We accumulate light and warmth (love) by appreciating this paradise planet lifeboat and the miraculous works of fine art called "life" that inhabit it.
If we extinguish our light and warmth (love) with ignorance (greed)...we become the darkness and emptiness that surrounds the stars.
Both here on this physical plane called earth...like it is on the metaphysical pane we call heaven.
Currently, the evangelical counting corpses have convinced themselves that Jesus (love) has "saved" them from greed and it's ignorance (hate). How convenient.
But they are sadly mistaken.
The evangelical vampires (greed) are like the darkness and emptiness that surrounds the stars. And that is what they will become after they drop the clothing of this physical pane.
Love (god) knows every star by name. But Love doesn't know the darkness and emptiness that surrounds the stars.
FORGET Religion...once you bring science and religion together you only create conflict..IF eternal life is a possibility then it is linked to Consciousness. IF brain does NOT produce consciousness, then eternal life is highly possible. I prefer to think of 'life after death' as merely an altered state of consciousness, independent of brain.
@OwO agreed.
So close. Check out on TH-cam Thomas Campbell. ANYTHING and religion will create conflict. It is the nature of religion. Spirituality though is a horse of a different color.

@@NotesofKhan I don't know how life started, neither does anyone else. But when you think about it, our galaxy is so mind bogglingly big and it's only one of 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe. Do you really think Earth is the only planet with life?
I see no physical or logical evidence that the God's that men worship even exist. The gospels were not even written by eye witness accounts but rather well after the events. I think it was the apostle Paul that came up with the idea of eternal life in paradise as a way to get more people into his congregation. Religion claims to have all the answers but no evidence. Whereas science gains so much knowledge not by invoking the supernatural but understanding how nature works.

Well,my question was not how life started,
It was "who created you (a living mind/your consciousness)?"
There are 200 billion galaxies and the distance between each of them is also mindboggling then how can we say that it has no Creator?Its like a thing exists without a cause
Now they say Big Bang did occur while earlier scientists though the universe was eternal so the Universe did not always exist and even Big bang is understood in different ways and different models try to explain a philosophical question rather a scientific one so scientists are also philosophizing and by clinging to idea of "Scientist showing the way to humanity" you are Worshipping blind Science or a philosophy which states that "All that exists is what can be seen"
I know enough physics so I am not a rejector of science in any way but God is not supernatural but someone who can be found rationally and if the reality of God is accepted then there is no problem accepting supernatural events as well.
Paul did not invent the concept of God, even a child knows that anything that exists has a cause and all ancient people knew God in some form
why not atheistic ancient People? but SCIENCE knows it all
sorry for the length of answer
