I have never had serious thoughts about religion till now.
I am a little confused if I should ever take it seriously - i like the serenity religious institutions provide - the artwork - the quiet comfort - but dislike the brainwashing and scams.
Would love to know how the community got started with this.
I like religious art and spaces – in fact in undergrad I wrote my final thesis on Spanish depictions of religious visions in the 17th Century – but I don’t have any faith personally. I’m 33 now but at 25 I felt similarly. I suppose I’m technically a hard agnostic since I don’t think it is possible to prove or disprove the existence of God.
Just think. This universe put you here, if only temporarily, so you could wonder about such things.
They say the angels can fly because they take themselves so lightly. Think just how much moreso lighter the creator of the Angels must take itself.
Just think. We are four dimensional consciousness with the ability to project a small part of our will into this third dimension. We put ourselves here, likely countless times, simultaneously, across space and time. Our four dimensional consciousness is too vast for a three dimensional existence so we are left to wonder without the capacity to process our larger truth.
Sounds like Hinduism.
