Faith: Knowing when you don&#x27;t Know, ya Know?

roaner (32) · 7 years ago

There are many spiritual paths to the apex of salvation. Religions are merely structured pathways to the apex. Faith is the value you place in the path you choose to travel, wether structured or independent. Keep seeking and you will find. I wish you well.

We are limited by a set of rules in the physical 3D. Religion is 3D as far as I'm concerned. It's got the basics of Source education and lessons, but it keeps people grounded here in the physical, along the lines of the separation you speak of and never being able to 'ascend' to that higher realm.

@clayboyn
Faith is so powerful and the way I see it, organized religion can sometimes limit faith and its ability to reach the hearts of humanity.
Thanks for sharing!

I love how your posts are so much like a journal. They could be titled "Thinking out loud" :) It's pretty amazing to follow your journey in this way, and I don't think anyone has a blog quite like yours. There has definitely been times in my life where if I were to write down daily what I was thinking it would sound so much like this. Sometimes we thinkers can over-think, and while seeking the truth it can get a bit overwhelming to consider every possibility and even "What is truth".
My husband has been known to say "Who's to say what is good and what is bad?" which I was reminded of by this post. I agree with your take on Jesus and Buddha in terms of balance, and that making them what would be considered good. I feel that everything on this particular plane of existence is striving for a balance, and if we are too far one way or another then we are out of balance and therefore lacking peace.
I wish I had the time to read all of your thoughts. That is probably my biggest complaint about this realm, the shortness of time and how it flies by. Sleeping, ugh, can't they find a way around us needing it? lol!

I have a feeling I end up writing a book at some point. :) I like sharing my thoughts like this as they come to me because it keeps me honest and transparent about where I am at on my journey. If I have to come back tomorrow or a week later and say "I can see how I was wrong about that now" then I never lied, my perspective just changed. Truth is too subjective and to assume or pretend I know the whole truth would be highly egotistical. I think truth is what we know + what we don't know = whole truth.

In searching for the truth maybe we need to think about what we will be and do if we actually discover it while still alive. Perhaps there is no ultimate truth because it is never intended to be discovered only searched for.

Another very thought provoking post @clayborn. Thank you for being so open with your thoughts!

That makes a lot of sense. I feel like the more I know the less I ever cared to know. I just know what I know and know that everyone else knows what they know.

Definitely starting to have those thoughts myself. If belief be the enemy of knowledge I would say that I would like there to be a God rather than I believe in Him but I have no affiliation with any religion or dogma thereof but for the sake of thought it says in the bible that man fell because he ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Perhaps we are 'falling' because of this knowledge. The more knowledge we seem to gain access to in our modern world the more the societies we live in seem to embrace immorality (in my opinion).

Knowledge can make our lives better or it can make our lives worse. As with EVERYTHING there is a negative and a positive aspect and it is how we use that knowledge to affect change in others and the world around us that defines who we are as individuals and as a society.

Thanks again!

Faith is the only thing which can turn anything into reality in this world.

Namaste clayoyn, thank you for your interesting post, I like buddhism, even I am not a buddhist, the faith in yourself is the biggest faith. Another topic: I want to focus especially on newcomers but also on people that are very active. My plan is to build up a community with active users to support each other and creating a curation trail. Looking forward to curating more effectively, would you be interested? Upvoted and following, greetings Lena!

clayboyn (70) · 7 years ago

I am already running a curation account and realistically I wouldn't have time to manage three accounts. I think you will enjoy it though, it's a great experience.
