Eternal immortal inner self subject to afterlife and judgement by the supreme creator and controller are false misleading ideas that you may have to believe as part of society.
Imaginary ideas like eternal immortal inner self, next birth, past birth, supreme power that create and control etc. have been disputed for thousands of years unlike the naturally self-evident realities of pleasure, pain, disease, old age, death, disintegration, dispersion, recycling, transformation, parent giving birth to children etc..
Ancient Ideas of Eternal Inner-Self and The Supreme Creator
The idea that earth is not flat, but round, has been proven and practically demonstrated by aviation technology and can be naturally inferred from rotundity of horizon. Even after thousands of years, we cannot validate, verify, investigate, prove, apply, demonstrate or know the reality of eternal immortal inner self or the supreme creator and controller.
Such false Ideas have been believed for thousands of years but there has been no practical demonstration or application of those ideas even till now. Also, you cannot know, verify or validate those ideas naturally. However, such ideas have been used to influence and exploit masses in the real life for wealth and power.
Why There is No Eternal Inner-Self and The Supreme Creator
If the idea of eternal immortal inner self or soul was true, then life forms would not struggle to survive and would willingly die in order to experience liberation and divine bliss of communion with the supreme creator.
No behavior or instincts of any natural life forms can demonstrate or can be mapped to existence of any supreme creator and controller. If a supreme factor created and controlled the life, then there is no need for humans or any life-form to struggle and suffer for survival against will of the supreme creator.
Then humans would instinctively give into injustice and leave it for the supreme creator to take care of justice rather than resisting it through revolutions, laws and judiciaries. Some societies believe in the reality of after life and final judgement but still expect justice and enforce laws for justice in the society.
If supreme creator and controller is true idea then, birth defects should not be remedied because it is against the will of supreme creator and controller. Effect of natural disasters should not be remedied because it is will of supreme creator and controller.
If life is created and controlled by one supreme factor, then life forms will not evolve through goal seeking behaviors. The idea of supreme creator and supreme controller is not only false and misleading but also subversive to human evolution and progress.
Ephemeral Life and Irrelevance of The Supreme Creator.
The idea of the supreme creator is irrelevant because all life forms are ephemeral. As you know, all life forms along with their body, mind and spirit undergoes death, decay, disintegration, dispersion and get eternally recycled. The cause and conditions that constitute the known and unknown are impermanent.
The feeling of being independent inner self is due to cause and conditions of life’s processes like, for example, stress and stress relief. There is no inner being or inner self that is eternally or immortality independent of life-processes. You do not exist independent of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions. Try to stop breathing and know it for yourself.
Since there is no eternal immortal independent inner self, the idea of after life and the supreme creator and control is irrelevant here or hereafter.
Also, there is no the supreme creator that creates or controls your existence. The word creation is a misnomer because there is no ultimate the supreme creator or controller.
Life and the world is neither created due to one ultimate factor nor is controlled by any one ultimate factor. Spark of life is a phenomenon arising due to cause and conditions of universe. There is no the supreme creator or controller that can ultimately create or control the world. There is no independent eternal inner soul that enter the womb to create the person.
Life and the world follow laws and exceptions, that are universal and natural, including but not limited to the law of impermanence, balance, equilibrium, change etc.. to ultimately disintegrate, disperse, transform and recycle. No element in the phenomenon of life is beyond the law of impermanence.
Even if there was a supreme power that created, controlled or bestowed, it is dead, disintegrated, dispersed and recycled by now. Hence, as classically said, “God is dead and humanity is free”.
Artificial wrong ideas like eternal immortal inner self, and supreme creator and controller are primitive ways of making sense of life and the world. It is due to your own point of view arising from desires, attachments and insecurities, that you try to make sense and give meaning to life and the world. Belief and faith is a way of thinking globally or fictionally in order to avoid stressful efforts of investigating the truth and reality.
Creator is One of The Insignificant Cause and Conditions.
Everything arises due to dynamic interaction of it’s constituent cause and conditions.
Person cannot exist without it’s indispensable constituent cause and conditions, but person can exist without idea or feeling of being inner self or inner soul as evident through meditation.
So also, creation cannot exist without its dynamically interacting constituent cause and conditions but does exist due to multiple different constituent cause and conditions of which, the creator may be one of the insignificant factors.
Occurrence of life and the world is a random accident that seem coherent and part of grand scheme within limits of time and space due to our psychological point of view due to our desires and aversions.
Spiritual Experience Is Due To Hypnosis and Stress Relief
“Spiritual experiences” are not due to communion with the supreme creator and controller.
Ideas of eternal immortal inner soul and supreme “creator and controller” exist in your mind due to hypnosis. It is not your natural experience just as you experience the natural processes and milestones of life. Due to hypnosis, you believe in such ideas and unsuccessfully try to live according to them but cannot apply such ideas instinctively.
Ideas of eternal immortal inner self and the supreme creator are articulated, construed and spread artificially through language, mind, artificial media and falsehood. It is not a natural experience like pain, pleasure, strength weakness, old age, disease, death etc..
Spiritual experiences are due to your full realization of your peace and natural innocence through your growth, maturity, development, detachment and deep stress relief giving rise to limitless unrestricted, detached awareness, the liberated phenomenon of knowing without independent inner knower.
So called supernatural or divine or spiritual experience is nothing but realization of the natural fulfillment and natural innocence from your naturally fulfilled childhood or which was not realized due to various reasons including wrong birthing, wrong upbringing, trauma, chronic stress or amnesia.
Misleading Spiritual Beliefs
Belief and faith in wrong ideas can create unnecessary psychological burden and stress. History shows that humanity becomes hardheaded to live in sadistic and machoistic manner without sensitivity, empathy or compassion under the influence of such wrong ideas.
On the other hand, enlightened by the truth and reality that is clearly experienced, proved, applied or demonstrated, humanity has made great progress in improving themselves and the quality of their life. Faith and belief in false ideas is wrong foundation of philosophy and thought.
Faith and belief can create unconscious bias affecting decisions and actions. Ideas like eternal immortal inner self and supreme creator and controller can bias you unconsciously due to which you may devalue your present life and also negatively affect other’s lives.
So called eternal immortal inner self or soul beyond process of life or the so called supreme “Creator and Controller” beyond cause and conditions are naive ideas created by the primitive societies.
Unreal ideas like eternal immortal “Soul” and God or Super-soul as “Supreme Creator and Controller” are misleading and subversive towards your natural values like life, freedom, health, wellness, justice, right to natural richness and unity in diversity.
Belief in the existence of so called supreme “Creator” and so called “Self” or “Being” related to the supreme “Creator” is a way of convincing you to sacrifice your natural human values in service of the so-called “Chief” acting as broker of so called supreme “Creator”. That “Chief” can be society, institution, personality, or any idea etc…Through such ideas and beliefs you are groomed to submit to the so called “Chief” for exploitation.
Due to such beliefs, you may ignorantly live and act under hypnosis by some artificial “Self-Image” with attributes like class, religion, race, caste, profession etc..
Forcing process of life to fit into such artificial ideas can give rise to stress and problems of unnecessary entitlements and incorrect attitudes like “higher-than-though”, “holier-than-though”, “greater than though” or “better than though” etc.
On the other hand the universally supreme law of impermanence of life is the foundation of natural values like life, freedom, equality, justice, nature and unity in diversity.
At birth all humans are equally able because at birth all humans are helpless processes of life. Hence everyone should be treated equally because nature treats everyone equally.
Artificial Ideas Need Collective Belief
Eternal immortal “Inner-self”, “after life” and the supreme creator and controller, are fantastic ideas that are artificially created and collectively believed by human society. Self-serving institutions place such false ideas irrationally above all other ideas that truly serve life.
Artificial ideas can neither exist without the artificial human society nor without collective human belief in them, unlike the fundamental natural realities of pleasure, pain, disease, old age or death which are naturally experienced and known by all life forms.
Eternally immortal inner self or the “Supreme Creator and Controller” are corrupt ideas irrelevant to life but invented for misleading humanity just like idea of “invisible clothes”.
Whereas, the impermanence of life is the foundational reality of value of life and of the principle of equal regard for all life-forms and the classic principle, “treat others in a way you would like yourself to be treated”.
