My Beliefs, the Meaning of Life and the End of Religion


Throughout life, I've had a kid's "normal" experience to circumstances, especially being raised as a Christian. They labeled me (and still do), as The Troublemaker. Being a True Troublemaker, meant that number one, you question everything and two, you take risks that normal people don't. Seems that I would continually take risks to a higher level. And what would you consider to be the ultimate high-level risk? Damnation, the condemnation to Hell, done by simply accepting responsibility and generating highly favorable progression for your world.

There is No God.

There is No Heaven, and No Hell.

You have always been and will always be.

Religion is just another creation.

1. The New Spirit Movement: We Are All One.

I no longer believe in the separation theology, the assumption that we are separate from others and from our environment, and with our ideas of God or a higher, divine power. As Neale Donald Walsch explains, "This separation theology inevitably creates a separation psychology. As a result, one begins to see one's own psyche as separate from every other psyche. One even denies that one could be unified."

2. Love Is the Meaning of Life

To feel the intense sensation of physical or mental fusion leads to the meaning of life. There’s a lot happening at the neurochemical level.

  1. Pure and simple enjoyment of accomplishments, your gratitude, & who you are will usually generate endorphins.
  2. When the body produces high levels of testosterone and estrogen, intense feelings of lust can trigger actions.
  3. Companionship & sharing give birth to contentedness.

3. Thought Power—Your Thoughts Create Your Reality

We do indeed create and destroy of our reality. Denying this denies your power and stunts your spiritual growth. We also influence other living things with our actions. If you walk into a room, see a stranger sitting there, and decide to slap them in the face, that person will surely respond differently than if you had instead smiled. But you don’t determine how that person responds.

4. Overcoming Negative Reactions

Step 1: Identify the Emotion. Learning to notice and identify your feelings takes practice.

Step 2: Take Action. Once you've processed what you're feeling, you can decide if you need to express your emotion.

Step 3: Get Help with Difficult Emotions.

5. There Is No Good or Bad

Rather than label things as being good or bad, consider them to be advantageous and non-advantageous. When anyone calls out that something is bad, it likely contains emotion. And the conventional mind-set would apply condemnation to that thing or energy.

But in reality, you usually wouldn't describe anything as advantageous and non-advantageous. You're not going to say, "That was an advantageous pizza," or "This is a non-advantageous movie," but you could say it to attitudes & actions; "That was an advantageous discovery," or This is a non-advantageous habit I used to have."

Your soul is the individuation of the Divine Spirit, which is All There Is. The soul is the universal life energy, focused and localized and vibrating at a particular frequency in one specific time and space. Energy vibrating in such a highly specific way is a Singular Outflow of Universal Life. You may abbreviate that in English as S.O.U.L. ~Neale Donald Walsch
