It’s weird how people think it is some kind of sign of true religiosity to say they believe in God or believe in Christ or whatever it is. It’s like, okay? You believe in something. Meaning, you don’t know. You don’t know if it is actual, so you must believe. Believing in things is what children do, literally. They believe in Santa Claus. What does that really mean? It means they identify with the fabrications of their internal mental activity, probably from things that were planted into them by some else or a book. It means you’re stuck at the level of mind, which is not your spirit. It’s your mind, its ideas, its intellectualism, aka, not your spirit. From new agers to modern Christians, almost nobody I speak to these days really seems accept this concept that there is a direct experience to be had with an aspect of your being that you could only describe as spirit if you had the skill to soak into it directly, which very few humans have ever achieved, hense why remarkable people like Jesus, who could do it, are remembered forever. It is the idea that your spirit is literal, just like your physical body. It’s a literal thing that you can, under rare circumstances, absorb into entirely. In other words is “real”. Not a metaphor, not morality, not psychology, and definitely absolutely nothing to do with astrology, healing, past lives, dimensions, none of that. Mind goes away, body goes away, and all your ideas of God or whatever else are recognized as mostly pointless mental fabrications and your life is forever changed if you are to experience this aspect of reality for even 1 second. Therefore it’s much better to strive to “know” rather than believe. Believing is silly, there is something tangible to know directly, and it’s not easy to achieve!
