iffo,
Who knows? it is quite possible that in the near future our friend will see the true light and convert to Christian clergy.
They are very important TO YOU. I dealt with them decades ago. I answered you already. All you do is look for excuses. They must scare you, these questions.
Jesus: "Ask and you will receive." Mohammed: "Take and give me 20%"
You are making some slight progress. Good. At lest you stopped running.
ALL of the question (including 1 an 2) are what you call "figurative".
And you need to apply whatever you find your answer to be to YOURSELF. The questions, or rather what you do with them, show you something about yourself, not about others.
At least you had a try. But there is LOTS more to find out.
Jesus: "Ask and you will receive." Mohammed: "Take and give me 20%"
But so that you cannot say I do not keep my promises to you, I will put my reply here, without going into all the details.
1) ALL the questions are about the same thing.
2) They try to show you something about REALITY. About BEING. About understanding things how they really are. They are also, to many, the path to the ultimate reality.
3) They show you what prevents you (and anyone) from real and full experience and understanding.
4) They advise you what you must do to overcome these obstacles.
5) The first stage is to recognise the obstacles. And you have not reached that yet.
Now, can you see what they are?

to delete it..
And you deleted your answers, because you were ashamed of them. I provided a reply within minutes. There is no helping you.

Unrelated to Islam, it is not worth answering because manfred has run out of ideas and inspirations of bankruptcy to be debated, disputes. and arguments.
"Unrelated to Islam?". My foot. you must be either a hell of , or full of . All the violence against civilians - most stem from Muslims who cite from the same book you and all Muslims read.
You show me you grand dumbwit - except Muslims where else do we witness mothers wrap 10Kg (22lb) of an explosive belt around her own 19-year son - who had a whole life ahead of him. Plan when and where to go an explode himself killing as many other boys & girls of their own age -only because they are not Muslims.
This women (Umm-Nidal) did the same to two other of her 10 children - citing passages from the Quran and justify it as "Allah's wish. She was rewarded with money and a seat in Palestinians parliament in Ramallah
I clearly said that the questions were 3000 years old. I have provided a reply, as promised, without delay. You have promptly deleted yours because you realised they were silly.
And you are not telling the truth about meditation, as you would have known from the start what a koan is.
So you can stop your stupid game, it is fooling nobody.

Is that allowed? It sounds very naughty for a good Muslim.
‘Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs and literary traditions. They neither intermarry nor eat together, and indeed they belong to two different civilisations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions.’ Muhammad Ali Jinnah
