but we already know the time of death is within 1 second -60 years. We have accepted our gift and should know there is an expiration date which should be irrelevant because in reality it is not our life, we are just the character of it 😉

I have some thoughts today... Now I need to say that I am a believer of many things and ideas that may even collide with one another as opposing belief systems. That is because I know nothing but can find a road in everything from the level of my personal imagination and perceptions. I fully support everyone's beliefs and I believe in them also because this world is an abyss and we are not capable of knowing the full spectrum of possibilities in truth, no matter how insane something may sound or seem, there are ways it can be true. So here goes.....
Are we this thing that is born and can not escape eternity? This thing that calls itself "I"? This source, this thing that is the base of us all and of everything? Are we the personality, the dna that it acquires more than we are this thing? Is it the "time and place" that it is born in more than it is this thing? Personalities come and go since forever, but this thing can not die it keeps coming, has been eternally born into its own existence from pre versions of itself....This thing that came from nothing and has awakened in it's own matter. Is God the first ever versions of this thing that had awakened at some point in time in it's eternity and has been evolving ever since? What happens when this thing awakens to the realization that it is more this thing that calls itself "I" than it is the personality, dna and age that it acquires? Does a different evolution of the mind come when the body transforms from flesh to energy in realization of true self in this "thing"? Are we all this basic trait of the fabric of eternal energy that is as thoughts are to light?.....can we unlock something greater than humanity?
This may sound as if it is spoken from an atheist or an agnostic, but I am not and yet, God could also give those who do not believe in him a world of athesim to experience, so an atheism can also be a truth in this way. Also God may be something created and used by the greed in kings. Personally I believe in it all. You can call me crazy. I love God, life and anything that has a heart or the freedom to think for itself without hurting anyone else.

First of all, do you believe in the existence of one absolute truth?
If so, yes you can find wisdom in many belief systems but they can't all be true if they contradict each other e.g God either has a son or he doesn't , he can die or he can't die, he is one or he is not.
In the Islamic tradition, God is Eternal and so had no beginning and has no end.There is nothing like him and he is One, the Creator of all and separate from his creation (he exists outside of space and time).
If you're interested in Philosophy and the question ''What is Truth'', then I'd highly recommend listening to this podcast.It speaks about the matter mostly from a philosophical side and addresses the limitations of science (empirical evidence) and how faith is shared by both religious folk and those who live life without it.

My thought of the day comes from the 103rd (one of the shortest) surah of Qur'an called Al Asr.
1 By (the Token of) Time (through the ages),
2 Verily Man is in loss,
3 Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy.

Ibn Kathir reported: Al-Shafi’i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “If the people were to reflect upon Surat al-‘Asr, it would be enough for them.”

Much appreciated! I will check it out. I believe in many truths because god can set up many different types of worlds with different truth in each world as a specific truth he may hide from them for different reasons. I believe everything is possible and I believe everything is do-able. The absolute truth that I believe is that god can give people the world they need or want. I also believe that god did have a start but it did not start out as an eternal, it just evolved into it and eternities have passed and the track had been lost so eternities upon eternities have passed and there is no longer a beginning. Something like that. But it could also be true that there was no beginning and that adds to the awe of it all. What I do not believe or like is the idea that god is weak and will be angry at his children if they lose their road. But this again may be a place where god creates a world and gives the people a god like that who punishes them and it is just a cycle of life for his eternal children to experience as humanity or other type of intelligent life. I respect all peoples beliefs because I know it can be possible. Even if i do not like something I can still respect it because of the love and respect others have for it. This world is all about our union and this is the road I personally walk in.
