Ricky what a wonderful interview. While Shaykh Fadhlalla is certainly a light and an enlightened teacher your respectful probing questions asked with such honesty and genuineness allowed him to share so much of his wisdom. Thank you. Hope you will do a follow up in a few months. ❤I

It's uplifting and encouraging to receive such wholesome feedback. Allowing guests to shine is what I strive for in this elusive role of host/conversationalist 😁. A follow-up would be delightful 💙

Thank u for sharing. This man actually change my life ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this wisdom. I hope others can see the truth. If you ever get a view from outside your cave (allegory of the cave experience). You will see how hard it is to get people with an established paradigm to see it ❤.

So true. If you're a fan of meaningful coincidence, the verse of the Qur'an that corresponds to the episode number (51) is related to protection from the Evil Eye: "And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say: Indeed, he is mad. But it is not except a reminder to the worlds." Felt this to be an apt message towards the challenge facing those speaking to these truths 🙏🏻.

@@MindThatEgo thank you. Their eyes seem to start to flutter, searching when they can't understand.

@@MindThatEgo How can one criticize the stubbornness of other people belief's and take take an agnostic stance himself? I don't get it. Your experiences you describe are beautiful, meaningful, profound. But why do you need to label them "Truth"? Just why?

[@MindThatEgo]

@@andreasmuller5223 I'm not agnostic when it comes to God. My stance is that God can be experienced, although there are many aspects of the Great Mystery that I am agnostic toward, I certainly don't think we can know everything, but we can experience the divine. You've responded to a thread within which I'm acknowledging a generalised cynicism which often comes with superiority and condescension. I have no time for that. I do have time and patience for anyone wanting to dialogue with an open mind. This isn't a matter of belief. Belief is in the domain of concept, ideology, mental constructs. Experience is a different matter. Sure, there are delusions of experience. But you don't "believe" in the sky or in your reflection, so why do you have to "believe" in God, if that is something experienced? Truth in this context is what remains when falsehood has fallen away. What is absolutely fundamental? You can't think your way to that point of understanding, it's part of a self-enquiry practice, I suggest you try.

The “God” of the monotheists is nonexistent. Which is evident by the history of each of the 3 religions.

Can you elaborate? I'm not entirely sure what you're pointing at...
