How do you re-gain interest in something you lost? ???
Is that possible?
:-\
-
Care to be more specific? Talking about a woman or a hobby? Either way, you need to sit down and think about the reasons that contribute to you not being interested anymore. Not as convenient? Now goes against your beliefs? Laziness? If you can figure that out, it will help you see if you really SHOULD regain an interest in it. Peace.

Alright say you really liked something, anything, like a hobbie, but then all of the sudden just stopped out of the blue, losing interest in it, but you get aggravated about it, is there any way to re-gain love for it again or would that be to much of a 'force'?

As I said, try to examine why you lost interest in the first place. What changed that would have lead you to no longer continue that particular habit?

tweak whatever it is so you enjoy it again..

Aight..Thanx Ya'll!!

Stay away from it for awhile. You can get burned out.

There's a name for that condition but I can't think of it right now. I'll have to look it up later.
That actually happened to me when I was younger in highschool (I'm 23 now). All the sudden I stopped enjoying the things I used to do. I loved basketball and was playing for the school team, I kept forcing myself to like it and play anyway but it wasn't the same. I kept hanging out with the same friends but the stuff we were doing wasn't fun to me anymore. Music didn't even sound the same anymore, I wasn't getting the same high I used to get from it. Even with women I had to imagine that my new girlfriends were my x-girlfriend or else it just wasn't the same as it used to be.
Here's how I got out of this condition, I'll give some pointers and leave it up to you...
-To sum it up in one sentence, what your going through is deeper than your ability to express right now. So you need to start looking inward, maybe even carrying a journal, and exploring your mind and thoughts and reading back over them later. Also you need to expand your vocabulary and seek knowledge so that you can find the words to express what your going through.
-Initially it was hip-hop that got me out of it at first. Not so much from the standpoint that hip-hop made me feel good or forget about my problems. But actually I was delving heavily into the lyrical side of hip-hop, and exploring artists who were really bringing some knowledge or substance (meaning, emotion) to their rhymes. I even started freestylin myself and writing rhymes. The more I learned how to express myself the more the aforementioned condition went away.
-Later, I started reading alot of books to better understand my condition. Books about spirituality and energy like "Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield really helped broaden my perspective so that I wasn't so insulated in my thinking. I was never into Christianity, but the more I started studying the more I began to realize that Christianity was actually grafted from the origional religion of worshipping One God which is Islam. I started studying figures like Malcolm X, Nathan McCall, H. Rap Browne aka Jamil Al Amin, and the more I understood their struggles the better I could come to terms with my own.
-Ultimately this search led me towards Islam which was the solution to all of it. But the point is, like I said, your experiencing something in your heart deeper than your minds ability to comprehend and explain at this moment. Until you do some soul searching and come to terms with it and find a solution, the condition will remain.
Anyway, if you want to know more just ask me anytime, on the thread or PM me, peace.

Nice post and everything, but you got 1 thing wrong; the original religion of worshipping one God was Judaism, not Islam. Even Muslims will tell you this...But I heavily agree with the expansion of ones vocabulary to express deeper thoughts and emotions...PeACe

Now this 'condition', it ain't like depression or along those lines right? :-\
And expanding my vocab will get rid on this 'condition'?
Sorry wit this question bullshit but this shit is aggravating :P

"Muslim" is an Arabic word that means "submission to the Creator". So although the people may not have had that Arabic word in their language, and may have been called something else, if they fit the description of "submitting to thier Creator" then they were Muslims, irrespective of the language they spoke. Anyone who submitted to a person as God (such as the Christians wanted to worship Jesus as God) does not fit this description because they are submitting to a created thing and not the Creator.
From the beggining of time all the Prophets had the same message, to submit to God alone and do righteous good deeds; however there were always people who tried to alter that message. For example, Moses in his time taught the Jews to worship God alone but they still wanted to take the calf for worship. Jesus taught his people to worship God alone, but 100 years or so after he died Paul started teaching to worship Jesus himself as God.

I understand where you're coming from, but I wouldn't consider myself Muslim just because I believe in one God (the Creator)...I'm talking about the actual written religion, it surfaced after Judaism...PeACe

The religion of Islam has no person, place or time. It is submission to the Creator. Jews recognize many of the same Prophets as Muslims and Christians, but they don't recognize Jesus as being a religious teacher, nor do they recognize Muhammad as being a Prophet. So some of the teachings are different.
Still though, Allah says in the Qu'ran about the Jews and Christians who sincearly worship their Creator and not anything created...
2:62 English translation of Noble Qu'ran:
Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

-I'm still looking up the name of the "condition" for you. I know what book it's in, I just have to locate the book.
-Your consciense is not allowing your body to enjoy itself. Your inhibitions have actually increased. This may be a sign of maturity, but until your able to understand what your conscience is wanting from you, your body will continue to be experiencing a disconnect from the heart.
Let's break you down into smaller parts...
You have a mind, body, soul, heart.
Your body does not find pleasureable the things you used to do. Your mind is not in agreement with the body. So your heart and soul are experiencing discomfort. So you have to again establish harmony between all these organs.
So you have to start a period of self-analysis, to find out what it is your mind (conscience) is trying to tell you. It also may be that it's deeper than you can express to yourself, so therefore you have to increase your vocabulary and learn read and learn from other sources so that you can obtain the knowledge and vocabulary necassary for alleviating your condition. Once you obtain knowledge of self, then the condition will disapear.
btw, keep asking people questions and searching for knowledge on your condition, because that's one part of the process of overcoming it. Allah has set up this world so that none of us are self-sufficient, and we are always in need of Allah and other people, we have strengths and weaknesses so this brings people together through interdependance.

I already know this...Maybe the board will learn something from it though.

Yo, Quiet Truth, I want to add to one of my posts above, that if you want, you should write out some rhymes and stuff and post them up and I can analize them for you. You can PM them to me, or post up for the whole forum if you want to hear analysis from others as well. This may help you towards understanding your conscience.

Okay, I found it man. I had remembered reading about it and where I read it, but I had to locate the book. One of my friends had read the same book and he recalled it for me from memory.
It's called anhedonia -the abscence of pleasure in things that would normally or used to give one pleasure.

this guy thinks he's not some whitebread confused hick from the American midwest trying to flee his painfully sad and lonely upbringing by proving how radical he is....

Jesus taught his people to worship God alone, but 100 years or so after he died Paul started teaching to worship Jesus himself as God.
LOL, he is a symbol of god to Christians. They're not worshipping Jesus the "human being". Stop with the Christian bashing when you believe in this:
Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
