You say that when reality does not correspond with your beleifs you should modify your beliefs. This is a rational thing to do. Most people however are not rational and do not modify their beliefs when real world experiences contradict them. This case applies to all religious people who have taken the trouble to check fact against beliefs. Religion is powerful and due to the idea of blasphemy the actor quickly discards the reality for fear of eternal punishment. Any meaning is purely illusion
I am not religious although I am spiritual, but I have nothing against religion or for that matter, I could say, I have no grief with the world at large or anyone in particular. Since I don´t believe in sin, how could I have something against someone incapable of sinning.
What I am saying that we cant grasp reality. We interpret what we see and confuse that interpretation with reality, but it isnt , what we see has to do with our point of view, conformed of a series of believes. Our experience is a product of what we believe. The thoughts I have are responsible for the experience of my life.
Interesting, as always! I like the concept of being the main part in your own movie vs. a secondary part of who ever you are with...Very true...The expectations of others and our own of others, can be surprising! Disconcerting unless you can accept change...I look forward to your thoughts on judgement!
