No One Knows Anything

Does anyone ever stop to think that the reason humanity came up with religion, science, philosophy, and every other idea or belief we have is simply to explain life itself.
Religion says we have a soul and that is where our life source is. Science says the universe is our life source. Philosophy says you are the life source.

If you meditate on the concept of life very deeply, you discover just how absurd it all really is. You discover that none of this is logical at all. What the hell is life? What is a soul? None of this makes any sense at all. We’re all just magical invisible souls floating around in a meat bag full of bones and blood made up of 7 octillion (that’s 27 zeros) atoms. 

We all choose what we want to believe. That begs the question as to why do we dive into those beliefs like that’s all that matters? So many of us are missing out on this magnificent and beautiful existence we have right here, right now. We should all stop being so worried about where we came from, where we’re going, and how it all came to be.

Do we honestly believe that God would want us to sit around and debate everything and fight about it all the time? Isn’t God supposed to be peaceful? Isn’t God supposed to be forgiving? Isn’t God supposed to be Loving? Isn’t God supposed to be all knowing? Isn’t trying to force our beliefs on others kinda the opposite of the very essence of who God is?

God’s mission in the Torah (first five books of the Bible) isn’t to convert everyone to a specific religion. If you read closely, it’s a story of a God who never abandons his chosen people, even when they ignore him, doubt him repeatedly, and do stupid shit like worshiping a pile of gold that was made into the form of something.

There are two words or phrases in the Bible more than any other but for some reason no one talks about these two very often. The first is “Love”, the second is “fear not” or also stated as “do not be afraid”. Seems like maybe God might’ve been telling us not to be worried about anything and to just Love everyone.

The only thing that separates humans from the rest of existence is humans are the only ones talking about life instead of just living it. Yes I see the irony in this post where I’m talking about not talking about life. Next will be the talk about talking about not talking about talking about life and we keep going with that cycle until we all die, or we choose to just stop playing the game. Love and Peace!
