Considering you are pretty much an incelebrity, I would find it likely someone is doing spiritual attacks against you. Even I already had this problem with people allegedly attacking me in the past.

Some fairly large accounts were following me and by momentum alone I was set to get 1k followers in a few months. Two days ago, my phone spontaneously broke. I was unable to achieve data including e mail so I have completely lost my ability to access that account. Two years ago, I had a fairly successful gaming channel that had momentum behind it. The same happened then. My phone spontaneously broke. Whenever things go well for me, something happens to take it away. That's why I somewhat believe in the supernatural. I believe some supernatural force is intentionally trying to drive me to suicide.

Welcome back comrade, it is very good to see a comrade as distinguished as yourself posting here once again and setting the example for these other lads to emulate, which they hopefully will do and abandon their lazy lurkmaxxing antics. As to your situation that you explained above, I would ascribe it to synchronicity, insomuch as it may have the appearance of a chain of related and causally connected events but it is merely coincidence and by random chance that such events unfold in the sequence that they do. I have had similar experiences my entire life and I once defaulted to the assumption that there must be some underlying force or cause that set things in motion but chance and random events are almost always the best and most rational explanation.

Would you say your background as an attorney plays into thinking from a rational perspective? I thought law school teaches you to look at things from a rational prespective but you know better than I do in that matter.

Islam however dictates that supernatural beings exist. The 'Jinn" which is an Islamic interpretation of demonic beings, Angels and to some extent human spirits.

Absolutely and as I have aid many times before here on the forums and elsewhere, I am a materialist and take a scientific approach to vetting and evaluating the veracity of any claims that are made to me about the way the natural world is. Most people don't however abide by an interpretive approach that is modulated by empirical considerations and instead defer to their emotions or their intrinsic sensibilities (intuitions) which are not calibrated in a way so as to allow them to properly understand and interpret experiences they have. We can discuss the ghost or supernatural hypothesis next week during our briefing as I would need to talk about it in order to do justice since it would take far too long to write a dissertation length explanation here.

And I really do have a lot to say about this topic and could easily sit down and record a several hours long podcast on the many experiences I have personally had over the years which I once ascribed to supernatural causation but now, in retrospect know that is actually the least probable theory given other more mundane and naturalistic causes.

I think it would be a good discsussion given how much we emphasize on Islam and the Islamic belief that supernatural beings exist.

Being a pious and devout Muslim does not necessitate belief in all of the supernatural presuppositions that come along for the ride in the corpus of Islamic texts. One may merely acknowledge that certain events may have occurred or otherwise just accept the moral and ethical teachings of the religion but not necessarily embrace whatever mystical or ethereal claims it may make. Living ones life as if everything in Islam is true doesn't always result in a person becoming a stalwart defender of the faith whereas, selectively emphasizing certain Quranic verses and specific Hadiths which explicate the true meaning of Jihad may very will cause a righteous man to take up arms with his fellow Mujahedeen brothers.
