I came to the realization that the religion of my birth was probably not for me and this new spiritual path is what I would be focusing on (focusing on love and God and praising God) But almost immediately on day 1 of this realization/practice , I'm hit with trials (my car was broken into, my barber fucked up my hair, I got into a conflict with someone close to me despite my best efforts to help them (I still have much work to do)) and still, I remained grateful and reminded myself that God is good. But what exactly is this? Is the old god pissed and gave me a middle finger? Is this the universe testing if you are serious? Do I have a lot of bad karma to shed now that I am on the right path? How do I frame this based on what scriptures and traditions say about the matter?
>>39145473karmic existence. we all live in sin. you live in sin. everybody goes through hardships in this life. the truth about it all is unknowable so don't try to categorize it like you're doing now, it can be comforting to frame it but you'll never be able to know for sure, you can just receive hints from the Most High to see if you're doing right or wrong. just know you have to keep going through it all, and yes remain grateful for all of it, no matter what.
>>39145821fair enough , just power through.
>>39145821There's no such thing as karma. It's an invention of the Brahmins. It's especially not the sick Western understanding which acts as if breaking the Torah somehow loops you into this fictional karmic cycle. No, OP, you've probably just pissed off an entity that wants to keep you around. You will soon learn how valuable freedom is.
>>39145473Christians here will try to tell you it's Satan attacking you for converting or that God is giving you trials to make you grow, but that's all cope and they worship an entity that derives it's power from human suffering and submission.
>>39145473>Is the old god pissed and gave me a middle finger?Its kind of like you were living under a spell, but now you grew up and the spell stopped working and you face the world without its protection.
>>39145473He's giving you a lesson in Love - don't keep record of wrongdoings. Keep walking Brother, the glory of God is in the Cross and only in the Cross we can boast.
>>39145473i think we are just vessels of God. hes in control just live in the moment and enjoy the ride.
>>39145473Just wanted to say I hope for the best for you, and others as well.
>>39145473>Srimad Bhagavatam Book 10, Ch 88>8: The Personality of Godhead said: If I especially favor someone, I gradually deprive him of his wealth. Then the relatives and friends of such a poverty-stricken man abandon him. In this way he suffers one distress after another.>9: When he becomes frustrated in his attempts to make money and instead befriends My devotees, I bestow My special mercy upon him.>10: A person who has thus become sober fully realizes the Absolute as the highest truth, the most subtle and perfect manifestation of spirit, the transcendental existence without end. In this way realizing that the Supreme Truth is the foundation of his own existence, he is freed from the cycle of material life.
>>39145473Anon just trust God, it will reveal the truth to you in it’s time. It needs to rebuild what is broken within you, so that you understand what you need to do in order to reach a real state or humanity and a real communion with God. I know it’s difficult to believe in the beginning, but God will show what you need to see, so that your faith will move mountains. But you need to believe anon, in your heart, in your soul and spirit that God’s the one that can help you.
>>39146596SATAN, GET AWAY FROM HERE. YOU DO NOT HAVE POWER ANYMORE OVER OUR WORLD.
>>39146596Lies and deception, we all do know you pretty much.
>>39147331And the ones that don’t, will learn about you pretty soon.
>>39145473I love you anon, and I hope you have what you deserve from God and from this life. Just stay in the right path, you will see and you will feel what is the right path. Even when anything that’s planned to hurt will come, God will be there if you believe in it. Try to begin by reading the Bible, and by praying. There you will start to understand more and more.
