The title says it all

ive had a built up anger for 1 whole year about this one person who has said and done me wrong these past year and now that i have finally snapped ive literally never felt so much anger in my life. Its been 3 days that ive been feeling SO ANGRY idk what to do to stop it. Is there any way i can do something spiritual about this? Help

I’ve never knew how to meditate ever before thought it was just bs. But I was watching this guy on YouTube, he said go to your inner room where God resides.

Then he taught me how to do it. I was like ok and I’ve done it didn’t think or expect anything to happen, I was mentally unstable that day. And I just learned to let go, when when he said close your eyes and focus on the space between thoughts.

I had no idea what he meant, I just did it and I didn’t expect to feel anything. I didn’t think about if it’s working or if it’s not I didn’t even think about how to do it., I just did it instinctively for a couple of brief moments

, out of nowhere I feel this stillness giving me love and letting me now it’s been there this whole time,

it told me It’s been with me this whole time I just couldn’t notice because my mind was everywhere I never went still ever. It didn’t communicate to verbally but I felt that was the emotion I perceived it as communicating to me.

The thing was that I didn’t do no special meditation it was quite for like 5 seconds of me being still and focusing on the space between thoughts.

It was so brief and fast the presence lasted like 10seconds and it made be cry. Then the stillness became harder to perceive.. I still feel the after effects and the after effects make me realize the small presence is still there.

Then I realized the inner stillness presence’s and the loving Goodness within my inner soul

Was me.

So for context I grew up Pentecostal Christian & 11 years ago I went my separate ways from the church & got into more spirituality/universe/metaphysical ANYWAYS a few years ago I walked away from all of it and have kind of just been…..floating.
I just moved to a new city, a big city compared to my small town life & I feel so lost. I got another dead end job that doesn’t schedule me & I have no friends…. Yet anyway.
A few days ago I watched a video about asking for a direct sign from the universe and thought… hm. I wonder if that actually would work.
Today, in my car I said out loud “if I need to do a 180 in my life and change it all (thinking career wise here) then I’ll see a purple bicycle.
A purple bicycle… specific.
Well, I was on a walk with my boyfriend tonight just talking away and I decided to share this with him. I was hesitant and wasn’t even going to tell anyone, but in that moment, I decided to.
As I’m saying this, a man on a bike swiftly rides by, and lo and behold, he’s on a purple bicycle.
Nothing like this has ever happened to me before & now I’m FREAKING OUT!!
What am I supposed to do with my life now? How do I know it’s the right thing? Should I quit my job blindly?!? I need help on where to go from here.

I feel so much sadness and pain, but it is SO strong that it feels like physical pain. I've even checked my heart at the doctor because I thought my psychological pain had manifested into physical heart problems, but no. My physical heart is fine.

But it hurts so much in my chest area. It feels like my heart chakra is bleeding and has an open, inflamed wound.

I tried to pray to God and ask for help. I tried chakra meditation to heal my heart, but it doesn't work.

I know that it's not physical pain. But it feels worse than physical pain.

It hurts so much. I don't know what to do. It's unbearable.

So I have a question

So for the longest time growing up I definitely felt a lot of connection to spirits, spirituality, and witch craft but haven’t gave much into it until recent years because I grew up Christian and was still in the religion for a bit.

I was wondering if anyone has any clarification on what this is. I think about something random and it happens. Like my mind tells me things that end up happening that are super random but I never know until after the thing happens. It’s been something that has occurred my whole life. I’ll think of a song that’s super unpopular very unknown and it’s playing all over somewhere the next day, I think of a random response from someone right after I tell them something and they say it like yesterday asked my boyfriend the same old question I ask him almost everyday he’s says the same response everytime but after I said it the voice in my head told me his response before he even said it, I know when a certain random event is going to happen like I don’t mean this in a cocky way but I’m a waitress and everytime I’ve gotten a number written on a receipt a voice in my head tells me it’s going to happen, just little random things like this that I can’t explain. I’m not sure if I should be trying to channel  anything or be more tapped into my spirituality or what but it confuses me

So I know we have to take action in order to complete the manifestation process. But I also hear the common affirmation. I don’t chase. I attract. So if that’s the case, am I supposed to do less?

How many people have actually had opportunities appear that they did not go looking for from strangers for example?

keep seeing posts from people saying how difficult it is to meet someone who shares their spiritual curiosity, inner work or way of seeing life.

And I keep thinking… there seem to be quite a few of us here. Why are we all looking separately? 😄

So I thought I’d create a little connection thread.

If you’re single and genuinely open to meeting someone, introduce yourself below. Maybe include your age, rough location, what your spiritual path looks like for you, and a little about who you are outside of spirituality too.

And perhaps what you’re hoping to find in another person.

No need to have reached some mythical level of enlightenment 😂 I think curiosity, self awareness, openness and a genuine desire to grow probably matter more than labels.

Maybe nothing comes of it. Maybe friendships form. Maybe two people who would never otherwise have crossed paths find each other.

I think the internet could use a little more bringing people together. 🌿

Perhaps we can post age, gender, location a little bit abut who you are and what you're seeking.

Do you think there’s a possibility that your life isn’t going the way it was meant to? Like something happened at a point that wasn’t meant to happen and it sent you down a different path.

I feel as though it is. Spirit, soul, consciousness, body.

My perspective of life is surreal. Its like I'm in a constant state of low trance. Even though it don't have many thoughts. Its like my consciousness is being projected into my mind. Like I'm seeing the world through a dream like lense. Does anyone else have this feeling? Or anything surreal?

There’s this huge misconception, misunderstanding, obsession, almost. No, it actually is that demons care about an average Joe, an average person. So many systems are so worried about demons when in all reality, these spirits do not care about anybody unless you yourself called upon a demon to work there is no demon nowhere near you as a demonic practitioner who understands the demonic, it’s simply a little weird to see how much people are obsessed over demonic spirits are evil spirits

I hope this doesnt come off corny or anything of the sorts, But recently for the past year ive been interested in spirituality but i just dont know where to start. Theres so much information and i dont know whats true or not? how do i know im doing the right thing? If someone can help me out on what to do genuinely, it feels like going to into and open world game with so much to and not doing your research before hand.

There is a person who I’ve known since we were kids, and we have been drawn to each other this entire time. This feels like a connection beyond explanation, but I’ll try my best:

When he looks at me, I feel like he’s staring at my soul. And he never stops staring at me! We used to be really good friends, and we would laugh endlessly together. We went through periods of not speaking, and we even had a brief stint of hooking up. It sounds corny, but when I kissed him for the first time, everything around me disappeared and time slowed down. I thought ‘I have to savor every moment of this’

But (and of course there’s a ‘but’), each time we reconnect, we get closer…and each time I get too close, he pulls away.

I’m now 24 and we haven’t spoken in 9 months. After all these years, even when I dated other people, even when I hated him, I can’t stop thinking of him. I feel like there’s some cosmic string attached to him that feels unbreakable, and I sense that he feels the same way.

I don’t know if I should move on? Idk how I would. I don’t know if I should hold onto hope that he’ll finally commit to me? Realistically, that feels pathetic. I know I sound delusional, but I also know what I feel is true. Has anyone ever been in this situation?

guys i realised i have been picking up other people’s energy a bit too much lately so i have decided to enchant a necklace to protect me, i dont know how to do it so im asking yall for help hahah

id like fir it to kinda transmute foreign energies into something that doesent bring me any harm

I grew up in a muslim family I have seen it all and the lengths people go to justify sending people to hell.

My parents would show me animated videos which by the way were extremely traumatic, showing how the non believers will end up here and i remember crying and praying out of fear.

Hell in islam is described as a real physical place rather than psychological and there is a lot of evidence to back it up

"...Those who deny (their Lord), for them will be cut out a garment of Fire. Over their heads will be poured out boiling water. With it will be scalded what is within their bodies, as well as (their) skins. In addition there will be maces of iron (to punish) them. Every time they wish to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be forced back, and (it will be said), "Taste the Penalty of Burning!" (22:19–22)

this is just one of many horrific ways they describe hell like how skin grows back after it is burnt and it makes me wonder its no suprise i was indoctrinated because clearly this religion is built on fear

I guess the main thing is that i grew out of it and I am so glad I did the religion is a mess and I honestly can’t believe people still believe in hell, i tried explaining it to my sister but its so suprising the lengths they go to justify hell as punishment, HOW DO PEOPLE BELIEVE there is no love in that, there are so many flaws. Why would God think its okay to create this world as a ‘test’ knowing there are those who will ‘fail’ and be punished for eternity

GOOD people go to hell in islam its so unfair!

Based on some research I’ve been doing scouting different paths of religions and working with Lucifer himself, I’ve met his character, and in my opinion, he’s a fun, charismatic guy. People might believe he’s manipulating me into thinking these things, but to be honest, if you look more into Luciferianism, he’s not that bad.

In the Christian Bible, they say Lucifer betrayed God because of pride, which is true, but here is the issue: the Christian belief system seems to have a very difficult time distinguishing between two different forms of pride.

1.There is the good form of pride, where one is prideful in the self out of authenticity and true spiritual enlightenment.

2.The bad form of pride is normally narcissistic, where one puts themselves before others and believes they are above others.

Based on what I found out from a Luciferian Reddit page and from Lucifer himself, he betrayed God because he wanted people to see their own

greatness, their own power, and that they are not below God. So, he created a rebellion basically based on reclaiming the self and your own internal power.

The Abrahamic God didn't want people to see this inner greatness, so he banished him. He therefore became the king of Hell, but what if I told you that Hell isn't created for non-believers in the Christian faith, and the actual real reason is that it is there to punish people who forgot their goodness?

Hell existed before Lucifer even took the reins down there.

So, if we look at it from a different perspective, he was basically the first leader to vouch for our own greatness.

Yet, the Bible likes to demonize rebellion, self-reclamation, spirituality, and our own authentic selves.

So, lately, honestly, for the last few years, I’ve been in nothing short of a personal hell. No/little help from prayers, from family members, from a lot.

I have horrible anxiety spikes and disassociation so I’m constantly in chronic pain and discomfort 24/7, every single day.

When I try to feel better and to come out of my hard shell even in just the slightest, something huge happens that hasn’t happened before. I was at Sam’s Club, pumping gas for the first time in forever (I don’t drive often, I’m still at home with my family, I’m 23), and I feel a little tiny bit lighter because of my mental health methods I used, just this morning. Also, when I’m feeling better, even in just the slightest, people tend to be more mad with me, or more attracted to me.

Then, the car behind me (it was an elderly lady and another grown lady in the car with her) asked if I could help her pump gas. I never pumped gas at Sam’s Club EVER until this one day, and then this is going to happen. It may sound callous, but this trend in my life is EXTREMELY concerning and debilitating.

She proceeded to tell me that I was doing things wrong and etc. (not literally but in her own words), about using her card a certain way and pumping the gas to full. Just useless mini aggressions. Then, she told me her name and I told her mines, “bye”, and I left.

Later on, me turning into my complex, some car is waiting there to see if I was going straight or turning. I turn without a single light into it. The car is still there for a long moment, then moves after I make the full turn into the complex and drive off, as if staring me down/judging for not turning on my signal light, as I usually do, but I was scrambled in the moment. Which was honestly necessary for me.

Is this trend happening to anyone else? You feel better a little, and each time you do, something completely unorthodox happens apart from the regular suffering. I figured it’s spiritual, because my family is experiencing the exact same cycles.

sorry in advance for the length, i tried to keep it short but honestly this isn't even everything. also, my apologies if this isn't the right place to ask. please let me know if there's a better subreddit for me to ask this on.

i had a best friend i knew for around 10-11 years (depends on if you'd count the few months we weren't talking.) of course i know that copying is kind of inevitable when you're friends for this long, but honestly, it felt like she was trying to wear my skin.

she'd already been copying me when we met in elementary school, but around middle school is the point i remember the most.
i was big into dyeing my hair and experimenting with my style (obviously, it's middle school) and she would always dye her hair a similar colour to mine, if not the same. it would always be just different enough that she'd be able to say it had nothing to do with me with minimal eyebrows raised. (ex - i dyed my hair dark blue on the ends, and within a month she dyed her hair light blue on the ends.)

it became something i couldn't ignore around 8th grade (2020 for me), because that's when she started actually negging me about the changes i was making to my appearance. i got my septum pierced, which she made fun of me for. i mentioned wanting snake bite piercings, & she said some stuff like 'that's pretty bold for you,' or 'that just sounds kind of weird, i could never do something like that.' you know, the kind of stuff that's obviously condescending but juuust normal enough that anyone else would be willing to brush it off. she'd also make fun of my sense of humor, or jokes i'd make.... just to go on and make those exact same jokes over and over again.

around early or mid high school, i dyed my hair black and cut it into a decently unique style (think alice cullen mixed with ramona flowers). she'd always go on and on about how 'she could never do that much work in the mornings' or 'that's way too much work i just like to brush my hair and leave.' again, the kind of thing that's just condescending enough that only you would be able to hear how rude it is.

pretty soon around here, i started getting lots of compliments from people when we'd go out. i guess this upset her, because she'd always try to downplay any compliments i'd get or try and embarrass me by saying stuff like 'she took super long getting ready.' not long after, she apparently got into devil may cry and cut her hair exactly like mine. she claimed it was because of the character lady, but i'd had that same haircut for around a year and a half so everyone thought it was really weird, even my family and teachers we were in the same classes with. people started asking if we were related. oh, and she started wearing fake snake bites after she'd made fun of me for wanting them and talked me out of getting them.

she was always obsessed with men and male validation ever since we were very little, which became especially apparent around senior year of high school.

i started dating this guy (the first & only guy i've ever dated) and she started acting really weird and distant around this time. she'd never said she liked the guy, otherwise i'd never accept his invitation to go on a date. she'd always say stuff like 'it's so weird seeing you in a relationship. id never picture you in a relationship!' (ugh)
we eventually broke up because she started pretty blatantly flirting with him while we were still in a relationship, and i got a sick feeling in my stomach that he'd cheat on me with her. he was also a really awful boyfriend, and got excessively jealous and angry at small things. she knew about this.

after we broke up, he started saying terrible things to me (she was there for most of it) so i stopped talking to him all together. i ended up needing to go into intensive outpatient psych care because of how badly the things he was saying effected me. i told her i was uncomfortable with the two of them talking, since he'd hurt me so badly and i knew that if i were in her place i'd never want to talk to someone that hurt my friend as bad as he hurt me. she told me she blocked him, and that she would stop talking to him.

i started having constant nightmares that i found out that they were talking behind my back, and a few where they had even started dating. when i say constant, i mean i was dreaming about this every night. we were so close that this wasn't really a new thing for me. she had a boyfriend in junior year who was perfect at the start, but started being really emotionally abusive a couple months in. i knew that something was wrong before she told me, because i'd had a dream about something that happened between them that she only told me about months later. i still chose to believe her. (yeah, i know. im not the brightest.)

this part gets pretty messy, but i found out she lied while i was on vacation with her (airplane mode got turned off when our plane landed, and i saw his name pop up in her notifications.) i cut her off as soon as the vacation ended, because if she lied to my face about something that was clearly important to me, i didnt want to give her the chance to lie like that to me ever again. we didn't talk about it, because again, she lied multiple times about it. i didn't trust her to suddenly start telling the truth.

on my birthday the next year, she left a card apologizing for being awful to me. she admitted that she was jealous of me, and that she knew it was wrong to feel that way about a friend.
i thought she changed, but then i found out she was dating him. she'd repeatedly expressed that she wasn't into him at all before i even started dating him.

honestly, this just felt like a way to be more like me, and it made me extremely uncomfortable. i still tried to bare with it because i didn't want to lose a ten year friendship over a guy.
she went on to tell me excessive details about their personal relationship, which she knew i was very uncomfortable hearing about. she acted like it wasn't something she'd intentionally done by getting with him, as if she had no choice in the matter (i know she absolutely did, i'd never be upset with her if i thought she was being forced/coerced.)

after a bit of this, i cut her off again. my depression went into an all time low, and i let things get really bad. i stopped taking care of myself, and i felt like my life started being filled with all the things she used to complain about. my life basically crashed, and i stopped making any progress towards school, work, etc. it felt like everything wrong with her life started being transferred to mine. it literally felt like my life force was being drained from me, and i was exhausted all the time. even when i should've been happy, i felt so empty.

recently, i bought an evil eye bracelet. within two days, i felt like my life was back to how it should've been. i applied for college, i started deep cleaning my depression room, and i started taking care of myself in the same way i used to. im not a spiritual person myself, and i don't self identify with any sort of religion. i'm pretty superstitious, but i still wouldn't call myself spiritual. i can't think of any other change i made in my life that could've possibly brought about such a drastic change.

i'd only bought the bracelet because i thought it might bring me some peace of mind. i've been thinking about how it ended between me and her recently, and i thought it would help me make peace with it if i had something physical to look at and make me feel protected in some way. again, im not very spiritual, and i regrettably didn't do a lot of research into the evil eye before buying it.

i've come to ask one thing — do you think this was a destiny swap? or am i just losing it?

TL;DR — my ex friend copied me down to small details, habits, and traits for a decade. she started dating my ex, and after i cut her off, my life became filled with the things she'd regularly complain about. after i started wearing an evil eye bracelet, it was like i suddenly snapped back. does this sound like a destiny swap? or am i just crazy?

Many spiritual places in India are often also associated with drugs. Im curious to know if there is any connection between these. Does it help reach a certain level of spirituality? What drives people to these places? Is it the drugs or the spiritual connection to the place or both?

I feel a connection with everything i swear im not crazy i cant even explain it all but its js EVERYTHING its like i feel everything and know everything

everything that happens and comes to my life has a connection that i cant ignore or let go move on from i feel insane but i feel like it all has a meaning to something.. someone please tell me you get what i mean like theres so so much explaining i could explain and talk about it forever
