Ahhh but the trance works.....

And what you believe... Must be true😀

But to question means you have the devil in you!

It's a great system😁

well said!

'believing' is highly over-rated.

Just seems it's so easy to make ya mind up about something (or have it made up for you 🤣) and then ya feel ya have to defend it (or them)... And then when ya realize it ain't workin, ya spend the rest of ya life trying to shatter that bias😂😁

Having said that... Belief may also be underrated.....

By believing in something, maybe we're also altering reality and making it come true😁

So for all it's flaws, perhaps religion IS really tapping into the nature/reality of God... (?)

The old hangover of religion...yes. Better to taste and not swallow anything we're unsure of.

I should have fleshed that out a bit...circumstances forced me to deal direct after so much confusion, hypocrisy and powerlessness. At my lowest point, Something connected with me! I spent some time unlearning and cleaning the slate and started engaging directly. So I had lots of questions and not a few grievances. In going direct, I put it out there and wait for answers and experiences to show up.

Once you know...there is no need for belief.

But in the context YOU mention, belief IS underrated. 😁

Religion can tap in...till ego takes over.

And then ya got all your anomalies!..Like https://debrarobinson971.substack.com/p/deeetroit-choir 😮😉

Cutting out the middleman😀

What's that about faith can move mountains.... Belief seems like a mental exercise... If u try hard enough, you'll feel it.... But knowing goes beyond that.... Seems more effortless 😊

I'm working on it.....

But how do u know those answers and experiences are true? And not the ego latching on to any sign....

Ahh yeah wanna find me a real pentecostal church someday and experience what that detroit choir does😀

The real thing is pretty unmistakable...as you will find.

'But knowing goes beyond that....Seems more effortless 😊' Yes!

one other thought...the answers can't be manufactured by your subconscious either...
