Conquering Doubt

There are two method to conquering doubt; reason and ritual.

For some of us, we need a huge dose of logic to free ourselves from doubt, whereas some of us find logic too brain-numbing, and we just prefer to experience bliss. Our choice of method will depend on our tendencies – one could say that different parts of the brain are being used for these processes. That’s fine. However, we may find that we are not able to talk to one another: just accept that we are not all the same, at our present stage.

Of course, it is best to apply what works in that moment.

Logical reasoning takes a concepts apart to see what is left. This is analytical meditation, where we finally recognise the awareness that is doing the reasoning :-)! After all, all methods lead to pure awareness, the recognition of our essential nature.

The other method to conquer doubt is ritual. Ritual is communication. If I start talking about this we just get back into reasoning 😉 . Let’s just say that ritual is opening up, and allowing a two-way silent communication – you know how it feels! A unification of inner and outer.

Our intelligence is the key.
A key can lock the door,
or open it!

Getting attached or euphoric
sows the seeds of disappointment…
and more doubt.
