Why Belief Is The Opposite To Truth

Belief is the constant trap of duality-separation.

If we find a stone and worship it, believing that it has powers, this belief will make us feel strong and comforted. In fact, the power of this belief can make us achieve whatever we want. On the face of it, this sounds good, doesn’t it?

We may find that other people worship the same stone and we club together in a group and build beautiful temples to worship in. Then we find that other people worship their stone-beliefs, all the while not noticing that belief has created a duality, a separation.

There are horrendous reactions going on in the world between believers;
thousands of people have been traumatised and killed for generations.

Even within a spiritual group, there is separation
due to levels of belief and misunderstanding.

It is only when we realise our true reality – which is not based on a belief – that sanity arises.

This reality that we all have in common is awareness; when investigated, this awareness is pure awareness or pure consciousness. It’s the first moment of seeing before and beyond comment or belief.

Pure consciousness is our common sense.

When we realise that this is common to all, everything changes. All the things we had been led to believe drop away. Our only concern now is the maintenance of truth. At the heart of the matter, we are all pure consciousness, but we don’t appreciate this precious realisation, and so ignore reality – and one another.

Realisation is compassion and empathy
for this misunderstanding.

Realisation isn’t about forming a religion that separates us.

When we realise this common sense,
we activate the oneness of genuine kindness.
