For me it isn't helpful to believe in what I know I haven't experienced and never having experienced these realms I don't believe in them. There's nothing wrong with daydreaming but defining oneself based on made up or borrowed ideas isn't healthy, in my experience at least. It might be helpful for some though. Who am I to judge? I just think it's important to figure out what we already know before jumping to conclusions about reality
There are ways to figure out the characteristics of other dimensions and existences. You would just have to have that sensitivity to tune into those frequencies and receive the information that’s already communicating itself to you on a daily basis.
Our imagination is the precursor to reality so it will benefit us to think of as many possibilities as we can no matter how ridiculous they may sound. The more your strengthen your imagination and your ability to discern what is real and what is illusion, the more you will be able to determine the objective reality behind all conflicting ideologies and theories. Science and skepticism have actually closed off the mind and limited its capacity to exercise the imagination and to solve complicated problems at a rate that would terrify an old lady.
And they achieved this by setting boundaries and restrictions and rules upon a reality that is free flowing in nature and is ever expansive. Those are two opposing forces at work and it will continue for as long as they are unwilling to realize that they are just a reflection of eachother and they need to create harmony and balance by sharing opposing views and figuring out how they all coexist in the grand scheme of things. Our subjective individual interpretation is only a fragment of the bigger picture that we are unable to perceive of yet.
No offense meant but I don't believe in God (never have) and the idea of human deities seems quite Greek or Roman to me on its surface. Also I have no reason to believe in God or in being a god since I'm perfectly comfortable being alone and already know where I came from. Why would I need to believe that I'm divine? And if I'm divine wouldn't that make religion true and make me a liar?
Since I'm not a liar I don't agree, but politely disagree with what you're saying here
It is because of the Greeks and the Romans and the western philosophies that you are as skeptical towards deities as you are. As well as many other people. All of these ideologies were reiteration of preexisting ideologies that stretch back farther than we are able to record and gather any information about.
These ideas did not just come out of nowhere. It might seem that way to the generation of people who tend to value the washed up processed artificial version of anything that was initially made holy and pure. And that is what these western religions essentially are. However the concepts embedded in them are not fake. But they took older versions of stories and ideas and facts that were created from generations before them and filtered it through their own way of seeing things which happened to be a less enlightened consciousness and had to do more with fear and condemnation and survival and conflict. They did not have that same connection to the divine that their ancestors did which was secure and genuine and spiritually mature and more expansive. It is the same as a child trying to do what the parent is doing but the child misunderstands it or becomes selfish with it. That is what all of western mythology and mysticism is.
The realization of your own spiritual nature could be a life changing thing and is filled with many things that can be of benefit to you and to others. You are too focused on your centralized perception of who you are and your own individual life that you cannot see outside of yourself and see how outside of that centralized box their is a world of endless possibility and magic and different ways of thinking that can allow you to become the person you want to be and create the kind of life you want. But more importantly it will integrate you with your higher consciousness and allow you to expand your circle of awareness and compassion and allow be more accepting of others and forming deep intimate relationships that have true connection and openness. You will be able to be more imaginative and more creative and more productive as well as more understanding and compassionate. It can cure illnesses like cancer and schizophrenia and end world hunger and pedophilia and end all of the things that plague our world mental or physical. You will be able to heal yourself and heal others mentally and physically and be in a state of complete and total allowing where there is no resistance towards what you really want in life and to create the best possible outcomes for every situation and every life changing decision you will have to make.
However atheists in and of themselves ironically tend to be very spiritual without them even knowing it. There are great benefits to purely focusing on your physicality and fully immersing yourself in the illusion of physical life without the constant awareness that it is indeed an illusion and some sort of grand play to facilitate expansion and higher awareness. But like i said, it is important to realize your divine self in order to expand your own awareness and stretch the limits of who you are and the things you are presently able to perceive and to break the boundaries that we set up in our minds that keeps us solidified in our idea of ourselves or who we think we are supposed to be. Boundaries that keep us in an individualistic self involved mind state which is what science and skepticism ultimately do. It perpetuates the idea that we are all separate from eachother and that we shouldn’t trust eachother or trust ourselves and our intuition and as a result it causes more conflict and more separateness within the community of people that make our society and does not reflect the true objective nature of reality which is what they confidently claim.
Science is not the only truth. Religion is not the only truth. They are only fragments. True spirituality comes from a result of realizing that all of these seemingly opposing constructs are part of one single plasma of consciousness that holds everything together within the multiverses. That is the type of awareness that we need to maintain in order to end conflict and hate and violence in the world. Because then people will realize that when they hurt others they are hurting themselves at the same time and you cannot harm someone if you feel that pain as well. But people will not accept that because they are too egocentric and too defensive and have survival of the fittest mentalities to only protect their centralized circle whether it be themselves or a particular group of people that feel like they are being oppressed or victimized or attacked in some way which is intensifying nowadays in this generation which is all the more reason for more people to become aware of this metaphysical aspect of reality and awaken themselves to their higher potential and to find a way to be of service to others by living out your life purpose.
I can go on and on about why it is important to be aware of this stuff but it is ultimately up to the person to make that decision whether or not they want to explore further and to open their capacity to trust the energies around and to have faith that there are other beings and life forms that have lived for way longer than we have and have so much more knowledge and wisdom than we can possibly imagine and they are constantly communicating with us and giving us ideas and giving us knowledge and information that is helpful to our lives and we are not even aware that they are doing it. We just think that we think things out of nowhere and we don’t really question it much but once you do start to question it you gradually start to realize their are other extensions of you that go beyond your physical body and brain and there are other extensions to reality that is not limited to your average life of getting out of bed and going to work and school and being in traffic or going to the dmv or something. Spirituality can end boredom and loneliness and the phenomenon of losing stamina/power/energy/motivation. That is when we will really be able to change and bring life back to our planet which is having all its resources and elements exploited for the benefit of the same kind of people who steered the three major religions of the western world and perverted the holy sanctity of the original word of what we call god.
God is just a word most people use when they are describing something that is seemingly out of their control or when something good happens to them. But god goes beyond that. God is the combination of both good and evil, reality and illusion, separateness and togetherness, nothingness and everythingness. God is the ultimate unifier of all things that polarize eachother and cause disharmony and imbalance within the system. Which means that you yourself are god because our humanness is also apart of the oneness that created this whole reality.
