Looks like today I’m again in the mood to mess it up with as many people as possible ;-). But when innocent people die and entire groups of people are dehumanized, unfortunately it’s time for my truth – whether you like it or not.
Faith is a problem. The belief that one is chosen by God and therefore more human than those who do not follow the same cult. The belief that God wants “unbelievers” to be killed. The belief that through the sacrifice of a human being, the “sins” of those who practice a particular religious ritual can be wiped out. The belief that after material life there comes an all-redeeming nothingness. The belief that God writes books. The belief that we are just material machines. The belief that everything is equal and insignificant. In general: believing instead of knowing.
Before anyone reacts with an anti-whatever-attack: I have just pissed on all the major world religions and anti-religions! I myself have found a lot of value in these writings and theories, but little verifiable truth.
In a modest half century of searching for truth, I now see clearly for myself. Faith is not necessary for a spiritual life and inner growth; on the contrary, it is a hindrance. Through self-analysis, everyone can determine that all the good and all the suffering they experience has internal reasons. Through self-experimentation, everyone can check that the world they experience externally is aligned with their internal long-term vibration. Everyone can learn to recognize their own, timeless soul through intensively practiced introspection. Everyone can connect through inner peace with the Great Good Spirit, the Source of Existence, and experience his friendship and support. Everyone can engage with the reports of near-death experiencers in words, images and sound and recognize which of them are coherent and consistent for them. Everyone has access to infinite wisdom that can truly answer all questions – if they listen very carefully to their inside and don’t lie to themselves. This can all be experienced, verified and known.
God has already equipped us internally with everything we need to find our way back to him. Unexamined belief in things brought to us by the outside world is spiritually immature and leads to more suffering and a long process of redemption.
Just listen inside yourself, with self-honesty.
