Islam and Narcissism

[lunarious]

Hi, al-Salamu alaykom

Narcissism means you are focused on yourself. Muslim / Muslim means you are focused on something bigger than yourself; you are focused on Judgment Day.

Someone thought they are smarter than Allah, and that i should change Allah's word about Vengance and other things, like Christians and Jews do. But IMHO most of you (without pointing at anyone) are Narcisstsits, and it's needless to say i'm better as you are Islamophobic and incapeable of speaking in my and Allah's presence.

I'm just asking you to say "hi" to me. Say peace. If you feel bad talking to me and say hi or peace, that's your problem. I myself say hi to you now and in the past and my concience is good, but my body and heart and mind is hurting. And Prophet Mohammed (saws) say that we must identify ourself and seek knowledge.

(edit) Prophets and Believers suffer

"it's needless to say i'm better as you are..."

Exactly what a narcissist would say.

Exactly what a narcissist would say.

Dualistic religions have opposites: righteous vs. sinful; saved vs. unsaved; good vs. bad. Dualistic religions are fear-based. Dualistic religions are exclusive vs. inclusive. Dualistic religions are parts vs. wholes. Dualistic religions are primitive and un-evolved. Dualistic religions are tribal and war-like. The gods and goddesses of dualistic religions are punitive and blood thirsty, vindictive and capricious. The gods and goddesses of dualistic religions are human-like in that they hold grudges, are unforgiving, and intolerant.

Non-dualistic religions are inclusive and are One Whole. The gods and goddesses of non-dualistic religions are unconditional in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of non-dualistic gods and goddesses are not predicated on what and how human beings are thinking, feeling, and acting. The characteristics of non-dualistic gods and goddesses are not created by fearful human beings. Non-dualistic gods and goddesses are beyond the human mind to comprehend and to understand.

At the risk of getting myself banned from this site, I feel that many religious people are extremely narcissistic no mater what religion they have, and see others who are secular as being inferior. I wish the human race would just smarten up and stop hating and fighting and having wars in the name of religion, but that's never going to happen. People are practically having a war over which side the toilet paper on a roll should be.

Maybe I'm being a little more optimistic, GrownupGirl, but I think that, gradually, peoples and societies are evolving from dualistic to non-dualistic thinking, feeling, behaving, and are also becoming more non-dualistically religious. I think that we are slowly, slightly evolving past fear-based thinking, feeling, and behaving. This evolution isn't happening, of course, without a lot of dualists yelling and screaming, kicking, and throwing fitful tantrums. They are afraid of change, but change is coming whether they are afraid or not.

Evolving comes via suffering and humankind has been suffering for eons. Suffering is slow just as is evolving. But we human beings are slowly becoming aware of why suffering happens, that it's out of our primitive, world views and our tribal ways of living and believing. Dualism is our past-to-present. Dualism is why we are war-like and why we destroy each other. Non-dualism is our present-to-future ways of becoming more, of becoming less dualistically afraid and becoming more non-dualistically, loving Universalists. Loving is getting rid of fear.
