| why should I believe you over the spiritual experiences I've had? |
That's what really counts. Our inner experience and intuition, and our 'inner sight', is what it's all about.
| Define the thing you think I don't believe in |
God is Spirit. But before you can be expected to believe in a God that is Spirit, you must first come to believe in your own spirit. Are you a spiritual being, or are you nothing more than a bundle of inanimate dust? Once you become a bit clearer on who you really are, at a deeper level, your eyes become more opened to the reality of God, who, (like our inner-self), is Spirit, which is invisible to our mortal senses.
You'll awaken to the Truth of God when you're ready, and not before. In the meantime, you're exactly where you're meant to be, in terms of your own evolution. It's certainly not a ‘bad’ thing to be an atheist, even from a religious point of view. (It actually took the highest form of innovation and intelligence for God to place us in a realm where it’s actually possible for us to believe that we are “accidents”, that there is no purpose to life, and that God doesn’t really exist. Atheism is the result of pure genius, at a divine level.) Deep down, our souls needed to know what it feels like to feel “purposelessness”, “insecurity”, “doubt”, etc, all of which are incoherent in Heaven, our real Home, but all of which are necessary to experience the full scope of wisdom, which is to be digested by the soul and transformed into positive learning. How can we know “good” without first tasting the fruits of “evil”? How can we fully appreciate security and love, without first experiencing insecurity and a sense of purposeless?
Goodness, security, joy, truth and love is our real heritage. And deep down, we already know this. Some of us just prefer being fast asleep, and like to turn a blind eye to life's deeper realities.
| You wished for material things. That is telling upon itself. |
That's so true
