My search for the correct way to live life:

In the beginning of my search to perfect the correct way to live life I followed the most popular religions which were Christianity and Buddhism. Due to the thickness of the Bible I only skimmed some of the red highlighted parts of the New International Version of the Holy Bible and followed the laws in the Book of Matthew to near perfection because I misunderstood the term judge to be having a negative thought towards someone. The only Book of Matthew law I believe I did not follow well was "do not hit someone back" because I have a snap impulse for self-defense when being struck in the face. As for Buddhism, the teachings I followed from was the theory of Karma.

I followed these teachings until it appeared to me to be false because it wasn't getting me to where I wanted to be in life also since other people didn’t follow their teachings and had better lives than me at the time. So I gave up on believing their was good in the world or even a God and focused purely on science, which made me come to a false conclusion that in order to survive in this world we must do evil. Evil in a sense of making money and being richer than others and not sharing or helping; but I realized that this wasn’t necessarily evil. Because rich people may be providing a more beneficial service to others or may be doing more good elsewhere. Also helping evil people in my opinion may be wrong but I am uncertain. The reason I think helping evil people is wrong is because good people should be disciplining and setting an example of evil to prevent it from happening in the future.


I’m still unsure why some people are so fortunate and some people are suffering. But as I pursued my theory of being evil to survive and be happy, someone who I thought was a friend of mine but found out later to be a sneaky enemy gave me the idea to sell my soul by saying to me in front of someone else: “Sean sold his soul a long time ago” This was not true, but gave me the idea to try selling my soul. I was so adamant about my theory of “evil” because I tried and failed miserably, by being what I believed at the time to be so good by following what I misinterpreted to be Jesus teachings plus alongside with Buddha’s teachings, that I ended up attempting to sell my soul and believing in the whole devil worship illuminati conspiracy theories. I didn’t worship the devil, but I did believe that in order for the devil to help me that I’d had to be evil.

At the end of my “illuminati soul selling” God started showing me a great deal of signs which strayed me from continuing my evil pursuits and made me try and be good again, which was a grieving long and painful process that I’ll spare you the details unless you are interested in hearing. The worst of this process was constant mental torture from what I believed to be God talking to me through others, and me attempting to commit suicide by cutting my wrist with a meat cleaver and eating an entire bottle of Tylenol extra strength brand new unopened, this was both from one suicide attempt. The meat cleaver didn't cut through my skin, it barely even left a mark; I even tried using different meat cleavers and butcher knives, slamming them to my wrist hard and pulling fast as I could at least 10 times without exaggeration. In my opinion it was God showing me how much power God had over my life. So next I decided to eat an entire bottle of extra strength Tylenol determined to die and not live through it but what do you know I am here today perfectly healthy although I can say the pain hurt so much from the extra strength Tylenol that I am terrified to ever attempt to kill myself ever again; it was excruciating pain.

Feel free to leave questions; no comments or feedback please I don't want to have to scroll through everything to answer any questions and I'd like to keep this post neat and tidy so questions and answers can be easily viewed; thank you!

Feel free to share this post with others, but I do however like to remain anonymous to the world outside of this forum.

Also PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT PRAY FOR ME because you do not know me well enough or know my life or current talents to be able to decide better than myself what to pray for.

You need to seek help now for these suicide thoughts and attempts. Go to counseling. Call 911 for you are even thinking about committing suicide. God loves you and does not want you to die. I don't want that either.

One reason why you are frustrated with trying to do good is you cannot be good enough. I can't be good enough to earn God's approval. None of us can. It is a futile effort. What God wants from you is not your good works but your faith in Jesus. He wants you to believe the gospel: that God came down in human flesh as Jesus, died for our sins and rose again from the dead. God the Father wants you to believe and trust in Jesus( God the Son) for salvation. There is only one way to heaven and his name is Jesus Christ. Put your trust in Jesus to save you not your good works. In ourselves, all the good works we do according to God are dirty rags. We can never earn God's approval by the good things we do. God is so very holy and we are so very sinful. We receive God's approval and acceptance by placing our faith and trust in Jesus. Jesus alone can save.

Did you even read my post? At the bottom I said I am terrified to ever attempt to commit suicide again because of the risks and the pain. There are just so many things that could go wrong during someone's attempt at suicide that I wouldn't chance it.

The main risk being death?

You still don't sound like you have a healthy outlook on the matter at all, and that is why we are concerned. It sounds like (just sounds like) the risk and pain are all that is keeping you from ending your life. Hope for a better future, faith in Christ to heal you, and fear of repercussions for your soul should be what keeps you from these thoughts and feelings.


Also

It doesn't sound like you understand prayer.

James 5:16
King James Bible
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Matthew 6:8
King James Bible
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Romans 8:26
King James Bible
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

You just confessed your faults to us. You made a conscious decision to be evil, got into occultism with the intention of selling your soul, and struggle (or struggled) with suicide. And now we prayer for you based off of this, knowing you, your life, or current talents is unnecessary.

WB, Troll.

I remember you. You do this spiel about once every 6 months. And then you're banned again, and then returned. And this is why I haven't seen you in a while. I don't come to this forum often. I guess some things just don't get boring for you.

You just need to be born from above.

Follow Cherie's advice and you will do well.

Yes. I read the whole thing. You still got to be careful about that. I still think you should probably seek counseling. Just because you are scared to do it again does not in my opinion rule out the possibly that you might try it again.

It's impossible to sell your soul. You don't own it, God does and He's not in the habit of selling it to the enemy..

Who are you referring to as a troll? To clarify to other readers in case you do not reply; I AM NOT TRYING TO TROLL ANYONE.

@G00WZ : My focus now is living a happy life with the teachings of Christ, and finding a way for people to take initiative to change the wicked in this world.

@pckts : I believe the main risks of suicide is: any form of paralysis which means loss in function of a bodily part; another risk is damage to the mind or spirit; also having a butterfly effect from a chain of negative events happen after a suicide because of how it would effect certain people.

@CherieR & stonesoffire : Yes I am currently seeking a psychiatrist near my home who believes in God and will help me guide me to full health with a spiritual approach, but unfortunately most psychiatrists are too afraid to lose their licenses to go based off a religious belief. Can I ask you people to help me pray for that to change?

@blue_ladybug : Haha yeah I concluded to that after I actually read the Bible more carefully instead of only reading the laws in the Book of Matthew; which because of me not being capable reading and understanding the entire Bible got me into this trouble in the first place. But I would like to bring up that my soul did feel different throughout various times of my life, there were times I was a completely different person and it was like something was controlling me to act differently than who I know I am and how I would typically respond. I'd love my spirit to be cleansed by the Holy Spirit, can you people pray for that for me as well?

I prefer Advil over Tylenol to relieve my pain but that's just me. I try to follow the recommended dosage when possible.

You mentioned reading and studying Matthew. Perhaps a good next step would be to read and study the other three gospels. And then the epistles. And so on. Godspeed to you in your quest!

Thanks everyone, yes I did end up studying the rest of the Bible along with the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous which helped me repair the relationships I damaged during my pursuit of the correct way to live life.

Thanks Dude653 for defending the seriousness of this post.

@Tourist I understand your humor it's quite funny when everyone is happy and healthy, however you need to understand that this is a thread concerning suicide and if someone was ever in a place tormenting enough to consider suicide your humor would not be funny at all but actually be considered cruel and inhumane.

I'm not sure why people attack those who are open about their experiences, as ugly as they might be. How are we supposed to learn anything if we have to live in a shell, like some of the people who attacked you. I cannot assume you are a troll, or that you've been here before and got banned.

It sounds like you are going in the right direction and trying to find peace of mind, or find your place in your life, or your purpose and meaning. And on top of that need support.

What is regarded as trolling is how people have responded. What is regarded as unsupportive or unchristian, is how people have responded.

Because at the end of the day, whoever you are, you are still human like all of us. Even if your post has come up before, or you have been here before, it doesn't really talk about something as if you are a troll. I think people misuse the word troll.

Thinking of yourself as some elite Christian, making assumptions, and making jokes, even if say person A is sharing a story of suicidal tendancy about person B, it is not a laughing matter.

What do you hope to gain from being here? So far those offering some kind of neutral response are shunning support and saying go seek counselling etc. We can all help each other if we can be open. Especially if we are Christian, I'm pretty sure that is one of the main things about being a Christian, to try and help where it is required, rather than run away. You wouldn't ever have seen Jesus run away from a situation that might require some good words!

I hope the mods observe some of the reactions here, and bear that in mind. It does matter how people have chosen to react to your post.

Yes that is true, however, people do change their focus to ungodly things, especially to self and material gain. I think he was referring to the worldly concept of selling your soul, like many musicians and celebrities do.

Actually no I got so desperate to the point where I gave in to all the "illuminati conspiracy" and decided to try selling my soul to the "Devil" just like what the musicians kept talking about, but my reason was less about material gain and more about finding a correct way to live life and be happy.

Well it's symbolism and witchcraft so to say, things associated with being self-powerful, sometimes to a spiritual level, otherwise known as sorcery. Many look up to these people, and say, well, they seem happy why aren't I? How can I be like them, what is different? But when we look up to someone, because they seem to 'have it all', it is because we feel that we are lacking, valueless.

How did your parents make you feel, growing up?

I'm confused about this whole thing.


Is the title supposed to be

"Selling My Soul" Experience

or

SELLING my "Soul Experience"
