No Faith or Trust = No Action or Progress

Some people find it childish to believe in spirituality. Unconditional love, healing, miracles, immortality, channeling, deities, God - all childish. People write books on the strange beliefs that other people have. People think of it as fantasizing. Because of that, they make no spiritual progress, and unfortunately, don't find unlimited joy.

In my case, I have had to believe that God exists and that I cannot truly die in order to make a change in my life. It is really funny how people hesitate in believing in spiritual things because people might think you're weird or wrong or something. Nevertheless, hesitating for that reason is defending your ego. Who cares about that? You are cutting yourself off from mind-blowing, never-ending bliss in the meantime!

Once you realize that worldly pleasure is never permanently fulfilling, atheistic or agnostic thinking will keep you in fear of never escaping pain. This is where people make the spiritual jump. Faith is needed until you make the first encounter with the reality of the divine.

What is upsetting is that most people are still attached to worldly desires, resulting in the prevention of encountering God. Even though they might believe in God, it only remains a belief for them. For this reason, people stay in their minds and never encounter spirit, and this is what causes the battle of religions. People argue over who is right, but they forget that religion is a path to happiness. The desire to be right blinds people from the truth and purpose of their religion!

Just as long as you use your beliefs to later encounter God, your desires will finally be fulfilled. Some people are religious because they have experienced God, and it is no longer belief for them. If you stop identifying with the ego, you will find what you have always been looking for, no matter what religion you choose to follow.
