Even though I try to be always conscious of God, the Day of Judgment, the Hereafter, etc., very frequently (astaghfirullah), I forget as I perform the mundane tasks of this worldly life, and this physical world would seem like the only real thing. How can I obtain deep-rooted taqwa so that I can be conscious of the Unseen all the time? Jazakallah khair,

The nafs becomes the mediator, the meeting point, between the Spirit and the body. The nafs is characterized by opposing characteristics. It is both luminous and dark, high and low. It is a mixture of the two sides. It possesses the attributes present in the Spirit in a watered down manner. Mulla Sadra refers to the soul by the Quran’ic phrase ‟…it is the junction of the two seas….” (18:59) The sea of the spirit and the sea of the material world. The Qur’an says:‟And it is He who has made the two seas to flow freely, the one sweet that subdues thirst by its sweetness, and the other salt that burns by its saltiness….And it is He who has created man from the water….” (25:53-54). The material world is the visible world or the manifest world (the world of the salt sea that burns). The non-manifest world is the unseen world, the world of the Spirit (the sweet sea that quenches thirst). The human nafs is a microcosm containing characteristics of both these worlds, created from the‟water” of both of these worlds.

This one cracked me up. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

The news isn’t that surprising, but the reaction is pretty flabbergasting: "Lawyers for Julian Assange have expressed anger about an alleged smear campaign against the Australian WikiLeaks founder. Incriminating police files were published in the British newspaper that has used him as its source for hundreds of leaked US embassy cables. In a move that surprised many of Mr Assange’s closest supporters on Saturday, The Guardian newspaper published previously unseen police documents that accused Mr Assange in graphic detail of sexually assaulting two Swedish women. One witness is said to have stated: ‘Not only had it been the world’s worst screw, it had also been violent.’ Bjorn Hurtig, Mr Assange’s Swedish lawyer, said he would lodge a formal complaint to the authorities and ask them to investigate how such sensitive police material leaked into the public domain. ‘It is with great concern that I hear about this because it puts Julian and his defence in a bad position,’ he told a colleague."

As William Shatner said in the Airplane sequel, "Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes."

Aw, that’s a bummer, huh, Julian? Isn’t it terrible when the Guardian publishes sensitive information without the slightest care about the impact on the lives of everyone else? Yeah.

The Confluence chuckles, "Hey! We’re the only ones who can leak stuff to the media! I guess somebody must have leaked the information. Leaks are good, right?"

Even the Village Voice is about a quart low when it comes to sympathy: "The Guardian, meanwhile, laughs it off: ‘Julian is not a confidential source. The argument that the papers involved with the WikiLeaks cables should not report criticism of him is one all journalists would find ridiculous.’

@ soMEone and Ricky – I believe Manning is a traitor and his enabler Assange has committed espionage against the United States. I guess we can agree to disagree on this one. I’m fine with that. You have the right to be wrong.

Lol.

That is funny. You know, the site preaches it’s "fighting corruption," but that’s a bunch of hype. So, revealing that Saudi Arabia dislikes the leader of Iran, from a top secret document only the US was supposed to have, fought corruption?

So, he’s now in Saudi Arabia’s place. What goes around comes around. He should’ve anticipated the global backlash. You know what’s the funniest aspect? America has nothing to do with it. I mean we’ve heard all about how America was doing this and that against him, yet, where’s the proof? You know that would be leaked.

I need to monitor my son’s computer use closer. How can I get access to email, places, passwords etc.?

you need install parental control software to your son’s pc, spyagent is a smart one i know of that works in totally stealth mode and can help record emails sent and received, account passwords, website usage, chats and more.

In 2005 came a not-so-famous film starring Aishwarya Rai and Sanjay Dutt – Shabd. I did watch that film in theatres, but there are a few scenes which i later found out were missing from the film. In the trailer you only get glimpses of these scenes. Check th below link:

Can anyone pls tell me where to find these scenes?

You may find it on production company’s shelf.

Take the cases of nonmeteoric rocks and stones from nowhere that have haunted us for centuries.

Documented cases have revealed that great quantities of stones (quite often similar in size, shape, texture and color) have been witnessed to fall straight down from some unknown point in the sky to rain upon very localized targets. Stranger still are numerous cases where rocks and stones have actually materialized in a room and fallen to the floor in amazing quantities. Some parallels become readily apparent:

1.) These stones are very often quite warm (even hot) to the touch.

2.) These stones are seen to fall with an abnormal slowness.

Volleys of stones thrown by unseen perpetrators have bedeviled innocent victims. On at least one occasion where invisible miscreants tossed rocks at an outdoor social gathering, the missiles were indelibly marked and thrown wildly back into the wooded darkness at random. Seconds later, the “marked” stones returned.

Are we talking materialization or “teleportation” here?

If these things violate our known laws of our universe, are we perhaps ignorant of laws of other universes that may coincide with our own?

What kind of thing are you smoking?

Newtons laws of motion state that:

1.- An object will remain at rest if and only if there is not a net force acting upon it.

2.- The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass and proportional to the applied force.

3.- For every action there is a force of reaction, both forces have the same magnitude but opposite in direction.

NOTHING CAN VIOLATE THESE LAWS.

An object such as a stone cannot "magically" start moving by itself. The only way that the rock can move is if there is a force acting upon it; a force such as that of a human arm trowing the stone or the force of the wind moving it.

Other than that, it is complete non sense.

Do not believe that nonsense about rocks moving magically, etc…

Turning on my computer, in the log in screen, it automatically states i have the wrong password for an account i have never used or set up (i have to click use different account, then sign into my account, which is the only one i set up and use). Going through my user files, there is no folder for this account. I go to manage accounts in my control panel and there is nothing on this account, and the same in user profiles in the system settings.
I have searched for anything about this account and can find nothing on my computer that says it exists. Is there a way to delete this account that i cannot even find?

I followed these directions and i cannot find the account i want to delete, it only shows my account i am logged into.

It’s hard to understand what you mean. Honestly, your best bet would be to go to a computer store. They are trained to know everything about computers so they will be able to do what you want them to do.

i just recently installed windows ultimate with a working crack. i cannot see all my hard drives, i currently have 3 WD 500gb hard drives, but only 1 can be found!?
how can i make it so my computer will see all 3?

thanks.
AJ- and then… what do i do?

go to your admin tools folder and go to computer management.

…if he is totally "other" than the created order, then is it proper to say that he exists? For existence belongs to the order of created things. But Allah is totally other than anything that "is" or that exists. Therefore, is it proper to say that Allah does not "exist" if we define "existence" as being an attribute proper to things that are created? And Allah is not neither created nor begotten nor begets. He cannot be described and is totally "other" than all that "is" seen and unseen.
Therefore, to ascribe to Allah the quality of existence, which belongs to the order of things which are created is to ascribe to Allah attributes of the creature. Therefore is it not Shirk to say, "Allah exists"?
Let’s put this another way: Who called all things into "being" or "existence"? He who called all things into "existence" is the source and ground of all being but is outside of all things that "exist" which he called into being! Therefore, I ask again, is it proper to say that Allah "exists" since he is the source of all that exists but cannot be identified with it?

You are correct. The creator of existence is outside of that existence.

Its not a power seat. What I’m worried about is that, if I remove the bolts from the floorboard, some unseen nut is going to drop off into the frame somewhere and, not only will I never find it, but I’ll never again be able to use the seat. i realize there is an electrical connection for the seat belt. I just dropped some valuable jewelry in the cracks and I cannot get to it.

Take out the 4 bolts on the seat bottom, the seat will lift out. The wiring simple is plugup that you can handle easily. You might not have to disconnect any plugs. There are no secret nuts to fall into the 4th dimension. Go get ‘em, Tiger. Look in Chilton’s Auto Repair manual to be sure about my advice.
