I'm Alterhuman because I have an Alternative experience and way of being human that the mainstream doesn't recognize as typical or really have a name for, and this involves and affects my self-perception. I also love things on an extremely deep level that most humans don't understand or share the same appreciation for or even much of any appreciation for, and these things have become part of me.

For me, it's neurological and psychological and identity-forming differences, special interests, defense mechanisms, and imprinting that inform how I experience things, and this way of perceiving is something that does make my spiritual sense of the world rather different, but it's not primarily spiritual (Especially not in the same sense as having a bunch of unverifiable beliefs), and imagination and various things that might not be so unusual do definitely play a big part.

I don't think of reincarnation as playing much of a role. I'm not sure about past lives. I don't have some elaborate backstory or memories. I don't have dreams regarding flashbacks as another species, or living in another time period or being on a different planet. I don't have special abilities from being Alt+H. I do, in fact, believe that anything could be possible, including alternate realities and universes, but for me it's more psychological and I'd like to concern myself with the here and now, rather than speculate about past lives or an afterlife.

I am myself, I am me. Through awareness, it's possible to transcend biology, at least to a certain degree, or else not let it limit you. I am ultimately a creature of my own design. My imagination definitely is a big part of what makes me who I am, though this isn't roleplaying or pretending. For me, it's an artistic construct that became an ingrained part of myself, as well as a result of imprinting and, yes, perhaps a certain level of spirituality. It has sociological implications and relates in a major way to me being Autistic. It's part of my self-concept and is a personal identity and subjective experience.

पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति | तदहं भक्तयुपहृतमश्र्नामि प्रयतात्मनः || २६ || patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati tad ahaṁ bhakty-upahṛtam aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit a water, I will accept it. Here Lord Kṛṣṇa, having established that He is the only enjoyer, the primeval Lord, and the real object of all sacrificial offerings, reveals what types of sacrifices He desires to be offered. If one wishes to engage in devotional service to the Supreme in order to be purified and to reach the goal of life-the transcendental loving service of God-then he should find out what the Lord desires of him. One who loves Kṛṣṇa will give Him whatever He wants, and he avoids offering anything which is undesirable or unasked for. Thus, meat, fish and eggs should not be offered to Kṛṣṇa. If He desired such things as offerings, He would have said so. Instead He clearly requests that a leaf, fruit, flowers and water be given to Him, and He says of this offering, "I will accept it." Therefore, we should understand that He will not accept meat, fish and eggs. Vegetables, grains, fruits, milk and water are the proper foods for human beings and are prescribed by Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself. Whatever else we eat cannot be offered to Him, since He will not accept it. Thus we cannot be acting on the level of loving devotion if we offer such foods. https://gloriousgita.com/verse/en/9/26 https://bhagavad-gita.org/Gita/verse-09-26.html https://bookchanges.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Bg-Chapter-9-diff.htm https://youtube.com/c/HearSrilaPrabhupada https://www.bhagavad-gita.us/famous-reflections-on-the-bhagavad-gita/ #bhagavatam #srimadbhagavatam #vishnu #vishnupuran #harekrishna #harekrsna #harekrishna #harekrisna #prabhupada #bhagavadgita #bhagavadgitaasitis #bhagavadgītā #srilaprabhupada #srilaprabhupad #srilaprabhupadaquotes #asitis #india #indian #wayoflife #religion #goals #goaloflife #spiritual #bhakti #bhaktiyoga #chant #prasadam #picoftheday #photo #beautiful #usa https://sites.google.com/view/sanatan-dharma https://m.facebook.com/HDG.A.C.Bhaktivedanta.Svami.Srila.Prabhupada.Uvaca/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPMEqzr74H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

1️⃣ reason to be baptized…

The second death has no power over who’s a part of the first resurrection.

Partaking in water baptism with the understanding of this scripture is important!

Delighted about the opportunity to collaborate with @canva on a series of 15 illustrations capturing the diverse windows of India. This collection can now be used in the Canva editor through the ‘Elements’ tab. Stories witnessed both inside and outside through the vantage point. A peek into the Indian way of life, everyday happenings and mundane yet priceless moments, illustrated in a natural and vibrant setting. Stoked about this opportunity.

Minimalismus ist für mich eine Reise 🌍

Anfangs sieht man nichts vor lauter Nebel und Bäumen. Je mehr sich auf das loslassen und auf die Dinge konzentriert wird, die wirklich wichtig sind im Leben, desto klarer und eindeutiger wird der Weg und das Ziel.

3, 2, 1 … GO! 🏃‍♀️

A Way of Life: What is Islam?

Perjalanan yang cukup panjang dari kantor ke rumah--maupun sebaliknya--membuatku punya waktu cukup panjang untuk berdzikir dan merenung dan berpikir dan berkontemplasi. Tentu saja yang pertama itu kalau sedang niat dan niat banget. Seringnya melamun, tentu saja, dan memikirkan kamu *astaghfirullah.

Tapi pada suatu pagi, tiba-tiba sekali aku ingat akan sesuatu yang sangat familiar dengan masa kecilku. Ya, begitulah. Seringnya tiba-tiba kepikiran hal random.

Pagi hari itu, randomly aku teringat dengan lagu Syamil-Nadia, yang sering kuputar waktu kecil dulu, jaman-jaman SD. Judulnya "Cara Hidup". Ngebahas tentang islam. Syamil-Nadia ini lagunya asyik-asyik, ya minimal waktu itu aku seneng (banget!) tiap diputerin di rumah. Masih pake VCD yang diputer di tape gitu haha. Lagunya tentang bismillah, alhamdulillah, bersyukur, dsb. Nah, diantara lagu-lagu lainnya, lagu "Cara Hidup" ini lagu yang, menurutku waktu itu, cukup berat maknanya dan aku enggak paham maksudnya.

Sampai pada sekitar setahun yang lalu, pada suatu acara anak-anak TPA di rumah, iseng aku cari lagu Syamil-Nadia di youtube. Eh ternyata ada. Terus aku puterin lagu itu buat anak-anak. Sampai di lagu "Cara Hidup" ini, aku tiba-tiba tertegun, "Ooohh, maksudnya ternyata begini, Ya Allah deep banget maknanya."

Iya, aku baru paham maknanya setelah sekian tahun kemudian memutar lagunya kembali.

Lebih dari 'sekedar' agama, lewat lagu itu aku jadi sadar, kalau islam adalah juga 'cara hidup'. Semua hal tentang kehidupan ini sudah dituliskan dan diatur oleh Allah di Al-Qur'an, dan dilengkapi dengan hadits-hadits Rasulullah.

Islam adalah cara hidup manusia yang sempurna. Meskipun memang tidak ada manusia yang sempurna, tapi cara hidup dengan 'islam' sepertinya adalah cara hidup yang sempurna(?) Karena kesempurnaan adalah milik Allah, dan Islam adalah agama yang diridhoi Allah.

Islam sudah mengatur semuanya. Soal muamalah (hubungan manusia dengan manusia), tentang hubungan manusia dan alam, hubungan dengan diri sendiri, termasuk hubungan manusia dengan Tuhannya. Lengkap sekali. Beruntunglah sebagai muslim yang beragama islam. Sebab cara hidupnya sudah diatur sedemikian rupa.

Aku jadi ingat, pernah baca tulisan dimana ya, aku lupa. Tapi si penulis menceritakan pengalamannya tinggal di sebuah negara (kalau tidak salah Jepang), kemudian ada salah satu kalimatnya menuliskan begini "Disana saya menemukan islam, tapi tidak menemukan muslim."

Iya, karena di negara itu menerapkan sistem-sistem yang diajarkan islam, kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang diajarkan islam, tapi orang islam jarang sekali ada di sana. Sebetulnya, kebanyakan negara-negara barat, atau negara minoritas muslim, justru lebih 'islam' dibandingkan negara mayoritas muslim, ya(?)

Dia bercerita bagaimana di Jepang (atau negara yang aku lupa mana yang diceritakan itu) lingkungannya sangat bersih sekali. Sampah sangat jarang bahkan tidak ada di trotoar jalanan. Semua orang juga tertib mengantri, menaati peraturan-peraturan jalan yang ditetapkan. Secara sosial, damai deh pokoknya. Bukankah begitu yang diajarkan islam? Keindahan, kebersihan, sosial yang baik, dan hal-hal baik lainnya.

Iya, disana ada 'islam'. Tapi tidak ada muslim. Atau setidaknya, jarang ada muslim.

Begitu juga di beberapa negara lain, yang mayoritas manusianya bukan muslim. Di Singapura, di beberapa negara Eropa, atau negara-negara minoritas muslim lainnya. Hampir kebanyakan mengaplikasikan ajaran-ajaran islam.

Lalu, aku pernah baca di buku apa ya, lupa. Kayaknya sih, Ayat-Ayat Cinta 2. Atau buku lain(?), yang pasti, sedang menceritakan soal Mesir. Ceritanya, ada orang yang berkunjung ke Mesir dan kaget dengan keadaan di sana. Dia bilang ke si tokoh utama, "Katamu, Mesir adalah negara Islam? Tapi kenapa kotor sekali? Bukankah Islam mengajarkan kebersihan? Bukankah Islam sangat mencintai keindahan?"

Aduh, aku sebagai pembaca jadi merasa tersindir sekali. Tapi, benar juga apa yang dia sampaikan, sih.

Aku jadi berkaca dan mencoba melihat negaraku. Indonesia juga kan, mayoritas islam ya. Bahkan sepertinya, Indonesia adalah negara dengan jumlah penduduk muslim terbanyak di dunia. Tapiii, memang mayoritas itu tidak menjamin suasana 'islam' teraplikasikan di dalamnya.

A way of life. Islam tuh lebih dari sekedar agama. Ia adalah juga 'cara hidup', yang barangkali para muslim sendiri belum begitu banyak yang benar-benar mengamalkannya. (dan tentu saja termasuk aku)

MAKE YOGA a daily HABIT!

There are numerous benefits to practicing yoga daily, including:

Increased flexibility: One of the most obvious benefits of practicing yoga is improved flexibility. Regular practice can help to increase your range of motion and reduce the risk of injury.

Improved strength: Yoga poses often require you to hold your body weight in different positions, which can help to improve your overall strength and tone your muscles.

Reduced stress and anxiety: Yoga involves deep breathing and relaxation techniques, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety levels, and promote feelings of calm and relaxation.

Improved sleep quality: Practicing yoga regularly can help to improve the quality of your sleep by reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

Better posture: Many yoga poses focus on improving posture by strengthening the muscles that support the spine and neck.

Improved overall health: Regular yoga practice has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, and improved immune function.

Greater self-awareness: Yoga is also a form of mindfulness practice, which can help to improve your self-awareness and self-esteem.

Remember, the benefits of yoga are cumulative, so the more regularly you practice, the more you'll be able to enjoy the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of this ancient practice.

“Know that all these beautiful, glorious and mighty creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.” (Bg. 10.41) यद्यद्विभूतिमत्सत्त्वं श्रीमदूर्जितमेव वा । तत्तदेवावगच्छ त्वं मम तेजोंऽशसम्भवम् ॥४१॥ yad yad vibhūtimat sattvaṁ śrīmad ūrjitam eva vā tat tad evāvagaccha tvaṁ mama tejo-‘ṁśa-sambhavam Know that all beautiful, glorious, and mighty creations spring from but a spark of My splendor. Any glorious or beautiful existence should be understood to be but a fragmental manifestation of Kṛṣṇa’s opulence, whether it be in the spiritual or material world. Anything extraordinarily opulent should be considered to represent Kṛṣṇa’s opulence. http://prabhupada.io/books/bg/10/41 Shri Krishna Chaitanya Prabhu Nityananda Shri Advaita Gadadhara Srivasa adi Gaura Bhakta Vrnda Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare https://youtube.com/c/HearSrilaPrabhupada https://youtube.com/user/AmritanandadasRPS https://sites.google.com/view/sanatan-dharma https://m.facebook.com/HDG.A.C.Bhaktivedanta.Svami.Srila.Prabhupada.Uvaca/ https://www.bhagavad-gita.us/famous-reflections-on-the-bhagavad-gita/ https://vanisource.org/wiki/760308_-_Morning_Walk_-_Mayapur https://prabhupadavani.org/transcriptions/?audio=Has+audio&type=Bhagavad-gita https://prabhupada.io https://prabhupada.io/books/bg/ https://bookchanges.com/ http://www.govindadasi.com https://www.facebook.com/govinda.dasi.9 https://vaniquotes.org/wiki/Main_Page #bhagavatam #srimadbhagavatam #vishnu #vishnupuran #harekrishna #harekrsna #harekrishna #harekrisna #prabhupada #bhagavadgita #bhagavadgitaasitis #bhagavadgītā #srilaprabhupada #srilaprabhupad #srilaprabhupadaquotes #asitis #india #indian #wayoflife #religion #goals #goaloflife #spiritual #bhakti #bhaktiyoga #chant #prasadam #picoftheday #photo #beautiful #usa https://www.instagram.com/p/CqcjmVkIz7H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
