that is the entire point of traveling to some desert shithole and walking around some shitty rock in a circle with people from every part of the world, yes
Tbh it is an incredibly powerful experience for some reason and it is a little unsettling. I have been probably 30+ times and it is difficult to describe.
I am something of a pantheistic/monistic thinker so I don't believe the "supernatural" is necessary, but that miracles are found entirely within the natural laws our world... After all, the same power which made these rules shouldn't need to break them. For example if you have ever grown a plant from seed, if you ever study the biology of it, I cannot help but see a miracle, because miracles need not be magic... The magic of it is that it IS completely explicable and possible within this wonderful universe of ours somehow, the same set of rules that at once govern the motions of the stars and the toils of the puny ant.
Yet still I could sense that it was a place of another kind of power. Every time, I felt it. There is an intense "energy" about the place where I cannot help but fall into silent awe. It is like a rotating magnetic field, but it pulls at your spirit instead. When you walk around it, it feels like a needle falling into the groove on a record. It's so loud but it feels utterly quiet. Your eyes and your ears, your skin (and especially your nose) will evidence you are amongst thousands of people. But my mind felt like I might as well have been alone in the universe, except for the force present around me. And I felt not like myself, but no one, or perhaps everyone... Whatever is behind my eyes, behind my memories, reading out the reality of my experience, bare of any influence but for the irresistible flow of its will.
And each day when I left, it felt like my ego came rushing in all at once, that all the BS I built around myself returned.
That's at least the phenomenology of my experience. I am sure it must affect different people in different ways. But for me it is one of those things that would never make sense without having experienced the pull.
Nibba 30 times? How? Are you one of the illusive saudi ex-muzzies that haven't been rightfully punished yet? or like do you pretend to be muslim to get in and spend a few Ks everytime?
Idk about pretending. I'd still call myself a Muslim. I participate in all the traditions. I fast. I offer salat as a matter of discipline and respect. I just don't believe in a grand genie, kinda like us but way way smarter and cooler, in the sky and invisible, and with magic powers. God's not just some sky wizard IMO. That's just a projection of human desires. God is the One and the Only. This is similar to the teachings of Ibn Arabi, who developed the concept of "Wahdat Al Wujud", the unity of being.
I'll visit when I am in the region for business or similar, the same people will easily be able to hook me up with an Umrah visa.
They pushed this narrative hard back in their heyday. Dabiq Magazine had an article about American racism and their "Bring It On" video made a point to push an ethnically-inclusive message.

And I thought my posts were ram bling incoherent streams of thought
2 TTVBlueGlass 2020-06-08
You clearly don't even understand what the terms incoherent, "ram bling", or "stream of thought" mean.
I'm assuming it means "longer than 3 sentences BRAIN NO LIKE READ" for you.
Seethe, illiterate.
