There is nothing supreme other than sustainable welfare and happiness of everyone in the present and in the future. There is nothing eternal other than change and impermanence through endless recycling.

There is no supreme creator and controller with will or wish because everything arises due to the known and unknown constituent cause and conditions. Improvement happens with improvement in the constituent cause and conditions but not due to worshiping or praying. Spark of life is an accident interspersed with your responses and reactions due to your needs, desires, expectations, attachments, aversions, fears etc. in the momentary rhythm of universe. In the greater context, life and this universe has no meaning or purpose. Supreme creator and eternal self are your own projections for some reason. Life and the world are cycle of accidents, fallouts of accidents and your reactions and responses to it.

There is no eternal self, spirit or soul of any kind with life after death. You get recycled in your ecosystem and you continue in your impact on yourself and on your ecosystem. Hence create a better flow of world for you and your impact to evolve, whether it is in form of your children, your ideas or your contribution to your ecosystem. Life lived through belief in the ideas of supreme creator and eternal self with after-life is misspent like, as classically said, “the spent arrow that never hit the target”.

Though there is no supreme creator as defined by monotheists or polytheists, there is phenomenal sense of emptiness resulting from your naturally rich state of psychological liberation, nonattachment and completeness characterized by awareness, sensitivity, empathy and compassion towards yourself and towards others. This sublime sense of emptiness felt like infinite deathlessness is just a feeling but is worth the efforts.

Empathetic nurturing humanity is worth the praise and worship. Natural richness of life and empathetic humanity is great in its wholeness and purity because you are uplifted by natural richness and empathy of evolved humanity, not by beliefs, worships or prayers. There is neither supreme creator nor eternal self of any kind. Neither are there godmen, messengers and prophets but only narcissists who think they are special, better than thou or greater than thou.

In your natural richness, you are undivided whole, feeling complete, outgrown, weaned, detached, and feeling spiritually liberated from the known and unknown. You are not spiritually liberated due to worship, prayers, devotions or divine grace. Your own efforts harmonious with your ecosystem will uplift and liberate you spiritually and materially.

There is no supreme creator to create the world just like dogs do not cry because of ghosts. The universe does not exist due to supreme creator with will and wish. Universe exists due to endless recycling of multiple cause and conditions as evident from historical accounts of human ancestors.

Ideas of monotheism, polytheism, and eternal spirit or soul devalues life and human interests. Such baseless imaginary ideas can spoil your attitude and mindset either making you clever but mean or well-meaning but naive.

Authorities use belief in baseless ideas as pretext for grabbing and controlling resources arbitrarily for selective interests. Under the pretext of baseless ideas, authorities interfere in natural personal freedom in order to control masses. The ideas of supreme creator, whether monotheistic or polytheistic, and the idea of eternal self with life after death were created by ancient authorities in order to prevent masses from claiming equal status and rights over earth and nature. False imaginary ideas like supreme creator and eternal self with afterlife are used by authorities to dismantle collective social ownership of ecosystems based on equality and justice. All humans are born equally helpless and nature treats everyone equally. This earth equally belongs to all humanity.

The ideas of supreme creator and eternal self can be helpful to stay humble and detached but associating with such ideas can spoil your natural human integrity, the feeling of completeness and psychological suppleness that you were born with because, your association and identification with such artificial ideas will split your natural humanness and make you rigid.

Toxic Ideas of Supreme Creator and Eternal Self

The idea of Supreme Creator and eternal self of some kind is an unreal context based on beliefs and rumors. Your philosophy of life based on such false ideas may be advantageous as part of community or society, but it may cause personal suffering and stagnation by misleading you into self-ignorance, self-negligence and apathy for life.

You are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing arising due to endlessly recycling constituent cause and conditions, you become your tangible and intangible actions, and you continue in the tangible and intangible impact of your intentional actions. You are free and responsible to choose, respond, act and shape your own course of life.

Supreme Creator and eternal self are irrelevant primitive ideas from the dark ages misleading you away from welfare and happiness into self-ignorance, ignorance of what you become through your actions and ignorance of how you impact yourself and your ecosystem in the present and in the future. There is no permanent self of any kind and so it does not matter if there is supreme creator or not after your death.

Such ideas rob you of your agency and smother your potential for higher passions like life, freedom, creativity, adventure, equality, justice, accountability, harmony, sensitivity, empathy, compassion etc. Monotheism or polytheism can make a person fatalist, irresponsible for their own actions or narcissist, thinking oneself special through “higher than though” or “better than though” attitude.

The idea of Supreme Creator is psychological blinder that smothers curiosity and beginner’s mind necessary for authentic living. The idea of eternal self can devalue present life and starve your sensitivity. Without curiosity and sensitivity, you can lack empathy and compassion. Without sensitivity, empathy and compassion, you can either become sadistic or machoistic.

There is no Supreme Creator and Controller with will or wish because there is no fraction or factor representing Supreme Creator that can be found commonly constant in particles of universe. Though there is energy in all the particles of universe, energy can neither be created nor destroyed and energy is impersonal without will or wish.

Universe is neither pyramidal pointing towards a supreme creator nor concentric centered around one supreme creator. If there was a supreme creator, all the planets, stars, milky ways and galaxies would converge towards one single point. Life forms value themselves and their life. Nothing in the kingdom of animal life indicate presence of supreme creator or eternal self. Idea of eternal independent inner self or soul is neither natural realizations nor a practical experience.

All life forms fear pain and death. Though you may believe in eternal self having after-life, you do not opt to live or chose to die. You chose to live despite struggle and die as a last option.

Self-conception is your assumption through prefix ‘I am” which you apply after some self-delineating noun or adjective and believing “I am this” or “I am like that”. Due to self-conception articulated through beliefs “I am this” or “I am like that”, you live self-ignorantly, rigidly and conflictingly with yourself and your ecosystem.

Your existence is dependent on your constituent cause and conditions. Self or the sense of “I am this” or ” I am like that” arises due to your association and identification with the known and unknown cause and conditions.

The sense of self arise due to self-conception or self-ideation through your identification or association with self-delineating labels based on artificial ideas like name, age, gender, class, caste, nationality, religion, beliefs, eternal self, good, bad etc., thus affecting your natural processes of life, making you rigid, insecure and conflicting with your ecosystem. Self is neither eternal or immortal nor independent of its constituent cause and conditions in any way.

Due to self-conception, the quality of your life experience diminishes, and you are not able to explore your full potential to live life. Just like painful knee or upset stomach makes you conscious of it, so also, self-consciousness is symptom of some disorder in your constitution. Self is like a psychological tumor in mind.

Self-delineation and self-conception due to your association or identification with known and unknown is self-ignorance. Without self-conception or self-delineation, you are a natural phenomenon of knowing or awareness which can be known through reflection but cannot be labeled. Without self, you are like formless water, flexible, resourceful, adapting, nurturing, yielding and yet menacing in the given conditions.

Practical experience is obvious and natural. Artificial belief is necessary when there is no natural obviousness. When there is no natural obviousness, beliefs are justified based on logic or reason that is mostly superficial and convoluted. Beliefs exist for some reason, and the reasons are mostly ill motivated. Authorities use beliefs in the baseless ideas in order to grab and control arbitrarily for selective interests.

It is better to remember and recognize through curiosity, experience and knowledge rather than believe or assume based on superficial logic. Ability to question and doubt is natural human tendency of cautiousness, and it should be exercised at all times. Even animals are naturally cautious.

It is natural to doubt and ask plenty of questions. Ask questions and do not settle for wrong answers. It is better to live without answers rather than believe in wrong answers.

Faith and belief can kill your curiosity, your ability to question and your ability to live life with beginners mind of an original explorer. Beliefs, worship or devotions can make you fatalist and ignorant of the reality.

Blind faith and beliefs are psychological sedatives that can help you to bear suffering but never outgrow it. Beliefs and faith is result of your wishful thinking out of desires and aversions unlike trust and confidence which you have through training, practical experience and knowledge.

You have confidence and trusts in your carers, for example parents and teachers, out of your past practical experience. If you have trust and confidence based on training and practical experience, you do not need belief or faith.
