False misleading beliefs of supreme creator and eternal self

False Misleading Beliefs: Eternal Self and The Supreme Creator

Idea of supreme creator kills human curiosity and reasoning whereas idea of eternal inner self devalues life.

Belief in wrong ideas can set your mind and intelligence on a wrong foundation. Eternal immortal inner self subject to afterlife and judgement by the supreme creator and controller are false misleading ancient ideas that you may have to believe as part of society.

Supreme creator and eternal self are ancient controversial imaginary logical fallacies believed but not yet proven or demonstrated.

Idea of supreme creator and eternal self are artificial inanimate principles that exist in the intangible human act of belief and not a power or reality that can be proven, verified or validated. Other forms of life neither have any idea of supreme creator or eternal self nor belief in such ideas.

Such ideas appropriate merits of all good ideas like peace, empathy, compassion, love etc. Ideas of eternal self and supreme creator are not only false but also wrong principles of life due to which you may learn helplessness, live ignorantly and suffer unnecessarily.

Ideas of supreme creator artificially created by humans has appropriated human life just like a fruit appropriating the tree or AI appropriating the human society.

Ideas of after life and supreme creator are primitive tactics used by authorities to manage society and masses. You or others can arbitrarily or selectively use such false ideas as an excuse to avoid responsibility for all that is good and bad in society.

The Feminine Inanimate Principle of Creation

Everything is composed of multiple factors, including but not limited to constituent cause and conditions like matter, energy, intelligence etc., at macro and micro levels. This is a self-evident truth as observed through scientific analysis and practical application.

One factor, for example supreme creator, god or deity, cannot solely represent or constitute anything. The creation is result of it’s constituent cause and conditions getting endlessly recycled in multiple cyclic processes and exchanges. This is also self-evident truth as observed through scientific analysis and application. There is no supreme creator having will, wish or desires to create. Creation recreate itself through multiple recycling.

However, supreme or ultimate that is worth valuing in life is inanimate feminine principle, one of the myriad constituent cause and conditions of creation just like water is one of the myriad cause and conditions of life.

The supreme inanimate feminine principle in the story of creation is without any will or wish of any kind to create or to control, just like water which neither has will nor wish to create or sustain life.

This feminine principle in story of life and creation operates under the condition of sublime peace. The supreme worthy of praise is principle and not power. There is no “the one supreme power” that can create or controller through will or wish.

Due to belief in imaginary ideas of supreme creator and after life based on artificial logic without correct knowledge, you may impose your beliefs on reality and try to fit reality into your beliefs thus making life difficult for yourself and for others.

Due to self-ignorance in form of belief in the eternal immortal inner self with its attributes in form of the Self, you may live and act in a rigid manner in conflict with the reality.

Questionable Ideas of Eternal Inner-Self and The Supreme Creator

Supreme creator is an artificial principle and not a real power. Supreme creator is an imaginary fictional idea just like elixir of ocean is imaginary fictional idea. The idea and principle of supreme creator is not worth following because it neither empowers humanity nor gives them control over their lives.

There is no supreme creator to create or control anything as it is evident that we can create and control the cause, conditions and circumstances of nature and life. For example, there is no prayer that can create microorganisms inside a sealed vial of sterile water even there was a supreme creator at all.

The supreme factor that is believed to create and control is yet to be found and proved or demonstrated. The only reason so many people believe in the idea of supreme creator and controller is fear or logical argument and not through personal knowledge that can be proved, demonstrated, applied, validated or verified. The supreme creator exist as an imaginary idea only based on logic and collective belief.

Logic is artificial but not true just like logically oxygen and hydrogen should combine to become more combustible but rather they combine to become anti combustion. Logic of supreme creator and eternal self is equally fallacious.

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. Individuals and societies get wrongfully invested in such imaginary fictional ideas.

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 by authorities for wealth and power.

Why There is No Eternal Inner-Self and The Supreme Creator

Your belief in ideas should reflect in the effect of your actions because you ideally act according to what you believe. If you do not act according to what you believe, you are either hypocrite or an imposter.

Those who believe in supreme creator and eternal self, do not seem to live and act according to those beliefs. Rather they seem to live and act the contrary while misleading others by spreading their wrong beliefs.

The idea of supreme creator and controller exist only in logical argument and collective belief. It is neither individual experience nor a proven fact. Idea of eternal independent inner self or soul is neither natural realizations nor real experience.

Even if there was supreme creator, she would prefer to stay away from affairs of humanity and keep herself to the affairs of other life forms.

As we see in the nature and real life, everything is on account of their constituent cause and conditions without any inner agency independent of constituent cause and conditions.

You are also result of your constituent cause and conditions, including but not limited to processes of life, you become your tangible and intangible actions, and you continue in the tangible and intangible effect of your actions. Like all constituted entities, you are subject to dispersion and recycling. You do not exist independent of your constituent cause and conditions.

If the ancient idea of eternal immortal inner self and the supreme creator was true, then every individual would know it naturally without the need for pomp and drama of society to uphold such ideas collectively.

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.

If the idea of supreme creator and controller is true, then there is no need for the life forms to struggle for survival and flourishment. They can just live under the mentorship of all powerful and all loving supreme creator. However, the natural and social reality of life cannot be lived as a play or formality as if predetermined through mentorship.

If there was really any supreme creator and controller with will, desire or wishes to influence life, then the lives of those who believe in existence of supreme creator would be much better or without suffering than those who are atheist or non-believers. However, most of the people who believe in the idea of supreme creator suffer from ignorance, poverty and exploitation whereas people without beliefs seem better off.

Looking at all the natural and social struggles for survival from infants to old, the idea or principle of supreme creator is tyrannical. Only a idiot supreme creator will test humanity by punishing innocent infants. Looking historically at the state of believers in the principle of supreme creator, it looks like the supreme creator is selective, arbitrary, out of minds and not worth trusting.

If supreme creator is mentoring the life forms through trials and tribulations, 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 afterlife and final judgement but still expect justice and enforce laws through governments.

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. Such an idea or principle of supreme creator is tyrannical.

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 is ephemeral. There is no eternal self or soul because everything known and unknown, animate and inanimate exist on account of the dynamic interactions of it’s constituent cause and conditions which eventually die, decay, disintegrate, disperse and get endlessly recycled.

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 inner self independent of cause and conditions is due to dynamic interaction of harmonious cause and conditions creating a pattern of the Self. There is no inner being or inner self that is eternally or immortality independent of life-processes.

Spark of life is a phenomenon arising due to cause and conditions of universe. There is no independent soul that enter the womb to inhabit the person. You do not exist independent of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions.

Since there is no eternal immortal independent inner self, the idea of after life and the supreme creator and control is irrelevant here and 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 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 must be dead, disintegrated, dispersed and recycled by now. Hence, as classically said, “God is dead and humanity is free”. Even if supreme creator is still alive, it seems to have lost its plot. The idea of supreme creator is totally unreliable.

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 wrong 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 the benefits of 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 idea of creator may be one of the insignificant factors. Creator is just one of the many factors in creation just like any other human.

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. They are natural experiences experienced due to deep stress relief and self-improvement.

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 naturally.

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, health, 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 forgetfulness.

Misleading Spiritual Beliefs

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 and used by authorities to manipulate the depressed and ignorant masses.

Psychological structure based on wrong foundation of ideas is misleading. The ideas of supreme creator and eternal life can relieve momentary suffering by sedating you but not empowering you.

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.

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.

You are the only person who is most worthy of your care and attention. Natural richness is worthy of most praise because it offers itself unconditionally to make you independent, free, secure and peaceful.

Belief in the existence of so called supreme “Creator” and so called eternal “Self” 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 “Authority” 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 principle of nonattachment to impermanent life is the foundation of natural values like life, happiness, 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 and their authorities try to place such false ideas irrationally above all other ideas that truly serve life in order to sedate the masses psychologically and deflect attention of masses away from their true welfare and empowerment. The Self based on association with name, religion, class, caste, culture, belief, nationality etc. is also one of such devices used to divide and rule masses.

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 based on the classic principle, “treat others in a way you would like yourself to be treated”.

self ignorance

Self-Ignorance and Myth of Eternal Inner Self

Self-delineation and self-conception giving rise to the Self and feeling of being inner self is self-ignorance. Self is a means of survival in the face of threat. Self, in any form, without any threat to survival is illness. Self is stress due to feeling of insecurity knowingly or unknowingly.

Self can be in many forms, for example, self-conception, self-ideation, self-identification, inner self etc. through association with ideas like name, gender, relation, class, caste, race, religion, nationality, eternal self, etc.

Self is stress of hypnosis due to association with known and unknown giving rise to self-ignorance. Self-ignorantly, you may believe that you are eternal immortal inner self independent of constituent cause and conditions.

Inner-Self Is Stress

Life and actions according to self is rigid and in conflict with the reality. Inner-Self is stress arising due to association with known and unknown ideas about self.

Through association with known and unknown ideas about self, you get hypnotized and attached. You get hypnotized and attached to self-conceptions like race, gender, religion, caste, class, beliefs about self, ideas about self, etc.

An infant just born has no notion or sense of self till a certain age. Infant is a natural and nature is original. The notion and sense of self is developed later in life during growth in order to interact with the environment. Self is acutely conjured for meeting the demands of environment in order to survive and flourish but should disappear when not necessary.

However, due to wrong upbringing and unhealthy conditions, the sense or notion of self can become chronic and severe. Self is a rigidity and inner self is stress that is necessary to deal with life and society.

During the right practice of meditation, by relaxing your body and calming your mind, you will know that the hallucination of being inner self is due to stress and activities in mind. Through meditation you will be free from hypnosis due to self-image.

Fully aware, you can exist without inner self or the Self. You are neither inner self nor the Self. The Self is the result of self-conception, self-ideation, self-identities, inner self etc.. based on ideas about yourself.

You Are Phenomenon of Awareness.

Nature and natural richness is original. Naturally you are the result of dynamic interaction of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions, including but not limited to your ancestors, your body, your processes of life, actions and effects of those actions, without which you cannot continue to exist in any way.

You are awareness, phenomenon of knowing arising due to your constituent cause and conditions without independent inner self. You become your actions and you continue in the effect of your actions. This is commonsense and as obvious as truth of earth, nature, pain, disease, old age and death. However, some cultures may ridiculously believe that life enters the womb rather than birthing from women.

Society Enforces Ideas of Eternal Inner Self

This hallucination of being an inner self, may seem real due to stress in the process of life and due to hypnosis by premature formation of “Self-Image” and self-conception.

You are prematurely or chronically hypnotized due to association with self-conception through artificial ideas and beliefs about who you are. This self-delineation divides you and gives rise to stress in form of inner-being or inner-self.

Society imposes eternal immortality to this feeling of being inner self. You get prematurely and chronically hypnotized by this idea of being independent eternal immortal inner self with after life or next birth.

Eternal reality of inner self” or inner being” or “Ego” or inner soul or inner spirit” etc.., independent of the process of life and actions, is a naive primitive idea sustained artificially by institutions of society and passed down from one generation to the next through cultural and customary beliefs.

For right or wrong reasons, society delineates self through its tangible and intangible institutions and instill you with different beliefs about existence of the Self with inner self independent of the natural constituent cause and conditions like process of life, actions and effect of actions.

At an early age, society imposes you with artificial ideas like class, caste, religion, race, nationality and unproven ideas like past life, next life, soul, ghosts, after life, rebirth, reincarnation, supreme Creator and controller etc.

If you are brought up in such society, the idea of distinct inner self or inner being may seem real, and you may live and act through self-ignorance according to your self-delineation.

You tend to accept the idea of reality of distinct inner self or inner being independent of conditions of life, if it is given to you by someone whom you trust, like or depend on, for example, parents. You tend to believe just because everyone believes and not because you know.

Inner “Self” is an Artificial Idea and Belief

Independent reality and existence of inner self beyond the process of life are concepts artificially created by society. You never try to fully investigate the reality of these concepts through right means or methods. You believe without trying to know their truth.

Eternal reality of immortal inner being or inner self is an idea not as naturally evident as reality of pain, old age, disease and death whether it is believed or not. Ideas of eternal immortal independent inner self need institutionalized collective human belief in order for such beliefs to exist in society.

You get hypnotized by many such artificial ideas due to your early life vulnerability, your dependence and trust on your care takers, lack of exposure to contrary alternative ideas and the artificial conditions conducive for hypnosis by such ideas. After you grow up, you forget that you are susceptible to hypnosis, and you continue to live under hypnosis by such ideas.

You are ephemeral. You eventually disintegrate, disperse and get endlessly recycled. You are neither eternal nor immortal. You are empty. Know this in deep meditation just as you consciously know pain and pleasure, youth and old age, birth and death.

You are Not the Artificial Self

The Self arise in association with known and known. Due to association, you identify yourself with known and unknown to live and act as if you are the Self. Feeling of being the inner Self is due to association with experiences whereas the Self is due to association with ideas.

The Self arises due to self-conception, self-ideation, self-identification, self-image etc. through association with ideas like status, name, gender, image, age, relationships, religion, class, caste, race, nationality, eternal inner self, supreme creator etc. The Self is an artificial character that you play as part of society.

Feeling of being the inner Self is due to association with experiences, including but not limited to experiences of body, mind, emotions, sense organs, vital force, mind etc. Neither the Self nor the inner Self are the truth of your nature because you do not exist independent of your constituent cause and conditions.

All ideas are artificial and hence the Self is artificially existing due to the collective. For example, religious Self cannot exist without the artificial pomp and drama acknowledged by the collective or the idea of being a leader cannot exist without the followers.

Being artificial as Self, you are rigid in the way you live and act. As the Self, you can conflict with the reality just like trying to live and act according to a mask can conflict you with the reality. The Self is a mask and not the real you.

The feeling of being inner self arises due to subliminal stress of association with experiences, external or internal. External experiences can be through sensations and sense organs whereas internal experiences can be through body, mind emotions vital forces etc.

The feeling of being inner self is self-consciousness. Just like constant consciousness of known and unknown is unhealthy, so also constant self-consciousness is unhealthy. For example, constant knee consciousness indicates disorder in knee. The Self or inner self independent of constituent cause and conditions is an unwholesome myth.

A healthy stress-free infant does not associate and hence neither has Self nor inner Self at the beginning of its life. Infant is wakeful and sensitive without the Self.

Infants develop the Self and inner Self by associating with known or known after a certain age as process of adapting to the demands of society. Self is artificial and personal just like a signature.

Spiritual Enlightenment is recognizing the forgotten truth of your nature through insight into self-awareness which was forgotten since infancy after the development of the Self while adapting to the society.

You Are Impermanent

You do not exist independent of your constituent cause and conditions, neither as awareness nor as the Self. You cease to exist with the death decay disintegration, dispersion and recycling of your constituent cause and conditions.

Just like milk discontinues to become yogurt and yogurt cannot continue to become milk, so also you discontinue with your death decay disintegration, dispersion and recycling. There is no rebirth or after life.

Though becoming self-aware beyond the Self may seem like deathlessness due to freedom from the Self, neither awareness nor the Self can continue after life or beyond death. Knowing the impermanence of life by being real, you live life authentically without getting attached.

deconstructing faith

Deconstructing Blind Faith and Orthodox Beliefs Through Knowledge and Experience

Questionable beliefs without any knowledge can be stressful, psychologically burdensome and misleading. Beliefs and faith

Faith and belief are mental locks that can restrict your ability to think and imagine realistically. Blind faith and beliefs are psychological sedatives that can help you to bear suffering but never cure it.

Belief and faith in ideas and philosophies which cannot be known correctly through experience and reason should be deconstructed because they can narrow down the experience of your one and only life. Life is too precious to spend according to belief and faith in unknown imaginary ideas.

Belief and faith can make you psychologically rigid and dependent. Due to belief and faith, you cannot think on your own for yourself. Permanently held belief and faith is mental slavery for life making you dependent and mentally enslaved.

Beliefs and faith without knowledge can keep you off guard rather than aware of reality. Beliefs and faith are more likely to bring disappointment when reality strikes while you are off guard.

Societies based on belief and faith in wrong or untrue ideas and philosophies become unstable and dysfunctional. Hence belief and faith should always be personal and should not supersede experience and reason.

Deconstructing blind faith and orthodox belief is possible by living through seamless clarity of detached awareness, knowing correctly in the right context as it is without associating or identifying yourself with the known and unknown.

Knowing personally, validation and verification is done through faculties of knowing. You know and understand your experiences through your natural or artificial faculties of knowing. Faith or belief in ideas is not knowledge because there is no personal knowledge, validation and verification involved.

You do not need faculties of knowing for faith and blind belief. For example, you do not need microscope to blindly believe in the idea that supreme creator creates epidemics. You need no personal experience in order to have faith or belief in ideas.

Experience should give rise to knowledge and understanding. Knowledge and understanding should arise from experience. Experience first, then know to understand.

To know and understand your experiences correctly, you need a detached seamlessly clear awareness, the matured phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context.

Difference Between Faith, Belief and Knowledge

Faith is living and acting according to philosophy based on set of ideas. Faith is always blind because it is not like trust established after knowing personally. You have to have faith because you do not know personally.

Faith is to rely on the unknown, for example God, or faith in astrologers or faith in owns destiny. You trust your parents because you know them personally; however, you have faith in politicians because you do not know them correctly.

Due to faith, you remain ignorant of the reality of cause and conditions that constitute life and the world. As a result, faith can eventually disappoint you if it does not fulfill your expectations.

Belief is to live and act upon an idea assuming that it is true. Belief is blind because it is not based on personal knowledge. You may believe in the ancient orthodox ideas of supreme creator or eternal soul and spend resources to please the imagined “supreme creator” for happiness in the fantastic afterlife rather than focus to improve the cause and conditions for your happiness in the present real life.

Knowledge is something that you know personally through experience, validation and verification through various means including but not limited to your physical sense organs, psychological sense organs like mind, memories, emotions or through science and technology. Knowledge is established to be true through evidence, application, demonstration or at least personal experience.

Right Knowledge Deconstructs Blind Faith and Orthodox Beliefs

Ideas are artificially created by humans for some practical reason. Ideas are psychological point of views in some context and they do not represent the complete reality. Ideas can eventually become outdated, irrelevant or useless.

You have faith and belief in the ideas and philosophies even if they are ancient, unproven or impractical. Faith and belief are not knowledge or experience of reality like knowledge and experience of pain, disease, old age and death which are true whether you believe them or not. To have blind faith and orthodox belief in ideas without knowledge and experiences is to deceive yourself knowingly.

You have faith and belief does not necessarily mean that you know, or you have the experience. Having faith or believing is not equivalent to knowing the truth or reality.

Knowledge on the other hand is to know the truth established through personal experience, experimentation, validation, verification, application or demonstration.

When you know, you need not believe. However, the knowledge has to be correct in the right context. Faith and belief established through knowing miracle without knowing the constituent cause and conditions of miracle is not correct knowledge. In order to know correctly, you need seamless clarity of awareness without associating with the know through faith or beliefs.

Rigidity and Burden Due to Blind Faith and Orthodox Beliefs

Faith and Beliefs are ideas or assumptions accepted to be true or untrue. Faith and belief can create unconscious bias affecting your decisions and actions.

Rigid Life and Actions Due to Blind Faith and Orthodox Belief

Due to faith and beliefs, you may live and act in a very rigid manner in order to confirm with your blind faith and orthodox belief rather than live and act harmoniously with the reality of cause and conditions.

Your association with faith and beliefs gives rise to self-ignorance in form of the Self and inner self which can eclipses seamless clarity of awareness, the phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context. Faith and beliefs are artificial, giving rise to artificial self in form of self-ideation, self-identification, self-conception, self-image, inner self etc.

Due to association with self, you live and act in a rigid manner according to self rather than live and act harmoniously with the reality of cause and conditions.

Psychological Burden of Faith and Belief

Consciously you may have faith and belief but deep inside you may remain ignorant. Faith and Beliefs contribute to your subliminal stress of ignorance rather than the wisdom of not knowing. Faith and belief add to psychological burden that is unnecessary while keeping you off-guard about truth and reality.

Faith and beliefs can wrongly influence the process of life and actions without your knowledge. For example, due to early life belief in god and his judgement, you may continue to live in fear and anxiety but not know the source of it. Such early life beliefs can influence the processes of life and growth at young age and impact physical and mental health in later life just like a poorly developed lamb due to forgotten fear of a tiger.

Early life beliefs can be forgotten but continue to stress the involuntary process of life. It is like accidently believing rope to be a snake and getting stressed over it or accidently believing rope and snake and remain gullible only to meet an accident unknowingly.

You are carrying many such forgotten faiths and beliefs that stress the process of your life by adding to your psychological burden. Reality of eternal immortal inner Self or inner Being is one of such beliefs affecting the process of your life and your actions.

Such beliefs can create unconscious bias due to which you may devalue present life. “Supreme Creator and Controller” as “God” or “Super-soul” is one of your faiths. Such faith can create unconscious bias which can negatively affect your sense of accountability, transparency, responsibility and social justice.

Why Do You Believe or Have Faith?

Many of your faiths and beliefs are not your conscious choice. You have faiths passed down to you in the early life before you knew to question. You may believe in ideas due to desires or lack of options.

In early life, since childhood, you get ideas and you believe in them through hypnosis, without your knowledge or expressed consent. For example, religious and cultural beliefs.

Most of the time you dwell in mind, living in a trance, neither fully asleep nor fully awake, neither fully relaxed nor fully alert.

In such a trans, especially during childhood before maturity and psychological independence, you are highly suggestible and vulnerable to hypnosis, you are also highly impressionable and vulnerable to conditioning due to delicate nervous system.

The foundation of your life is laid on your habits, beliefs and attitudes formed during early life through your experiences and upbringing. Belief in wrong ideas can set your mind and intelligence on wrong foundation affecting priority of your values and choice of principles.

Early-life beliefs become part of your physiological and psychological conditioning. Your life gets controlled by your early life beliefs. Due to early life belief, you suffer from “bottle gives milk” syndrome.

You believe in the ideas if you like, depend, or trust the source of those ideas, for example parents, friends, teachers, charismatic personalities etc. You believe because everyone believes and not because you know.

You also adopt beliefs based on your experiences if you are too lazy to examine their truth and reality. For example, if you never saw cow giving milk, you may believe that dairy gives milk if you are too lazy to investigate the truth of this beliefs.

Belief is due to lack of knowledge and experience. You may believe without knowing. You may believe without empirical evidence obtained through right means and methods including experimentation, validation and verification based on understanding of empirical evidence.

Beliefs are not the universal reality or absolute truth. Nothing should be accepted as true without investigating into it by yourself on basis of experimentation, application, demonstration or empirical evidence or experience.

Rather than belief or leap of faith, have trust and leap of confidence based on experience, knowledge and understanding.

Deconstructing Faith Through Seamless Clarity of Awareness

Faith can be deconstructed by experiencing, knowing, validating and verifying the reality through your sense organs including mind. Reality should be known and validated and verified for it’s constituent cause and conditions at all levels in order to know it correctly in the right context as it is. You need seamless clarity of detached awareness dissociated from the known and unknown to know, validate and verify reality at all levels.

By being aware you know correctly in the right context as it is without associating with the known or unknow and without giving rise to the Self through association. Through seamless clarity of detached awareness, you are self-aware without the Self and you live life with a beginner’s mind like an original explorer without any crutches of faith or beliefs in ideas.

By being aware without associating with the known, you know and understand your experiences correctly in the right context through all the natural and artificial means. Such seamless clarity of awareness, the phenomenon of knowing as it is without activities in the mind or reacting to the known is necessary to deconstruct faith and learn to live without faiths or beliefs.

Right practice of meditation, that is not based on faith or belief, can help you to cultivate that seamless clarity of awareness necessary to deconstruct faith and live life authentically with a beginner’s mind like an original explorer.
