Meditation, Karate and Islam

Hi,

There's no question except to The God. ... But i'm thinking of abandoning meditation and Karate as forms of Rōting. This seems sad, and i'm laughing from the sadness of it 😎 but'll focus on Islamic Prayer 🤲 as form of Rōting.

I'm like, seeking God and embracing Darkness... Period.

And God knows best
 
Roting, as spelled, even from middle eastern languages refers to "decay, rotting, or putrification"

Perhaps using a synonym may help with understanding.

That was the definition I got from using a translator and it didn't make sense to me.
That's why I am asking OP what the word "Rōting" means.
 
Can you please post the meaning here too. THere are others who wish to know what you are saying.
 
I can't see how abandoning meditation, something that is beyond a doubt beneficial to good physical and mental health would ever be a good idea. If this is because of faith I'll be honest that I find it strange, but as someone not of the faith I guess I have to accept I probably wouldn't ever understand or agree with the rationale. But that's ok as your belief and actions don't harm anyone, so I don't have to accept the rationale. I do hope at least for you it works out to be a good decision and you find some measure of peace, that I think you are seeking.
 
Plus, abandoning mediation is not irrevocable.
He could resume it, if he chooses to do so later.
 
I'm very much experiencing this mans experience, as inhabitant of a Christian country. 15 years later (since 2010) i'm starting to wake up God knows, realizing i'm not Norwegian, i must be Muslim. These people mistreat me (through submissions etc.) very much like a prison.

1. The Tradition of Prophet Abraham (as) includes Salāt and prayer. Islam is linear. Will not break inshallah.
2. The Tradition of Buddha includes Meditation. Buddhism is circular.
3. Japanese and MA has this tradition of Seiza, and Sujōd ... half Muslim half Buddhists. I heard they have a) Shrines for Shintoism (like Iraqi shrines) and b) Temples for dead people.

Where do Christians want to place themselves?
 
Today i said one thing, i said i need to alternate between two states ~:

Rōting: I need to retreat into a state as ASD 1 where i'm inexperienced, in all things maybe, and more Kingly and more Royal in The Kings presence. In that presence i'm Virgin strong and confident. I'd be Introverted and Introspective here.

Working maybe: The other state is "The World", and appearently litterally these are two Worlds and can't be done simultaneously. So life might require I work, but then I'll be inable too Rōt in a fast-paced world.

Proficiency in Rōting is maybe like education, it enabels you to Work better and more effectively and benefit from your time, or maybe leisure time. I don't know if i'm right, i see a need for disabling Rōting to create Soldiers. But do we need Soldiers?

So Rumination is unhealthy, maybe, but may be immensely rewarding

I just don't know why you don't give me like. 😁 Maybe because the world is Fast Paced. 😂😝😎😁👍🍃

Today i think i'll start by adding 5 min Karate. When I wrote this thread November 2024 I was doing meditation 5 min.

Today i can sit long times, but i don't know if it's because i'm Rōted or Rotational? Ideally i'd be Rōt-ational meaning (both).

I had a few weeks off. The wife and I were on a holiday. I try to avoid any computers and phones during these times.

At any rate, religious-based discussions are not my expertise. Some of the language used is difficult for me to interpret, and this may be, in part, some of the translational difficulties when converting one language into another. I make every effort to stay engaged in the conversation, but my primary foundation of reference is that of practical, daily life experience, from a non-religious perspective. Personally, I respect what you have to say, even if sometimes, it is difficult to follow on my end.

I am curious about religions, in general. I find them interesting and there is much to learn, but personally I haven't committed myself to any one religion. My wife and children grew up in the Christian church, and even as a child, I attended, but my autism, such as it is, is uncomfortable with large groups. I am very much an independent thinker, so I don't associate myself with any political or religious affiliation. Human beings, in general, become different people in large groups and it is confusing and stressful for me to be around that dynamic.

I have taken Middle Eastern history courses at the university, spoken with an Imam at a mosque in Dearborn, Michigan, US where there is a very large Iranian and Iraqi community, and spoken with many of the refugees of the Gulf Wars about their life experiences and perspectives. I've had a great experience with the people, very friendly and open, and the food is great.

I don't claim to be religious, but I am spiritual, in my own way. I respect people who are different than myself and am always willing to learn, but in a one-on-one conversation.

Wolves are weaker than lions and tigers, but they don't perform in circus.

If i'm ASD that must be i'm in a Higher position as .. Hawk. 😁

A bit too symbolic.

Edit: But Humans are stronger than lions and Hawks. Humanely. 😎^_^
