Who Or What Do You Believe?

This is the most important – and also idiotic – question possible. It’s tantamount to saying, “Who or what do you accept without proof?” Your life depends on the answer, and ignoring the question has consequences.

What is it that you are believing in? The people at the ‘top’? The top of what? The unenlightened?

If we say, “I believe in no one; I believe in myself”, we are back at square one – belief. What is this ‘I’, this self, that we believe in? It’s just a memory bank of ideas. As long as we are confused about what we are, we are someone else’s agenda.

Always look at the story behind our story.

The value of life is knowing why we are born, and how our direction can change. A miserable life is the manure for growth and wisdom to develop, and for us to realise why we made the mistakes we did. This good intention protects us. Ignoring this inner wisdom, we remain vulnerable and exposed.
