Dear Ben. I am not trying to convert you in any way, but I am very curious as to how a person like you lives and thinks and where spirituality plays a role. I am beyond beliefs, desires etc. but my world has not crashed. I have not developed into the devil incarnate. I am more together and in balance than I ever have been in my life. I am experiencing God within and with all of creation. You questioned if I believe in God. My answer is the same as that of the great sage of our age, Carl Jung. He said: "I don't believe in God, I know him". Dear Ben, isn't it better to know God than to believe in it? When you only "believe" in it you haven't got it, or do you see it more like a "make-believe"? That we use the bible on our path, is ofcourse the right thing to do.But don't become the bible. There are many other holy books that can inspire us along the path. Spiritual wisdom is found anywhere God leads you. With Love, Gerald |
