Polls: Religion & Spirituality

For context refer to my last post, but when we were coworkers after she found out I was sort of into religion and went to church with my parents. She would constantly bug me about coming to her youth group for awhile, saying things such as “when are you going to come to my church “. Especially given that her church was in a different language. Went on for about a few weeks to a month I’d say before I finally went lol. When I went she sat next to me to help translate and would share a bible while going through the verses her hands/fingers would graze/ touch mine fairly often to the point where I got semi uncomfortable at times

Obviously, both are just beliefs. You can't prove or disprove either. Lots of intelligent people have agreed and disagreed with both beliefs. Sure, the belief that all people are created equal is fashionable today, but that does not make it a fact. And the belief that God exists has been fashionable at times too.

From a book I am reading on how the mind works...

"The reason people who are exposed to the same external stimuli do not remember and react the same way as each other is because everyone deletes, distorts, and generalises differently based on their own metaprograms, values, beliefs, memories, and decisions."

I'll avoid defining all of that, but you can read it in "Neuro linguistic Programming for Dummies" or ask for clarification.

Question is... do you agree, that your beliefs influence how you interpret and react? It's one of the key learnings I had from believing in Christ for salvation. It's instramental in all solutions to problems asked on GAG... your pre-existing beliefs, influence the outcome.

This is fundamental to how I see things working and I find it to be true. I wonder if everyone thinks that.

First, I’d to explain my personal beliefs about God. I believe that there was once spirit (which is basically God/heaven) but there was no one to experience this heaven, so he split into both spirit and the observer (which is us) as newer souls, we need to explore life on the physical and learn lessons before ascending, and eventually be In heaven.

We are particles of God trying to return to spirit to experience heaven.

Most people who harm others are simply lost souls trying to return back home. (More explained on this later)

I also want to explain that ego can be thought of as self consciousness. Ego is not bad though. It’s simply a state of awareness.

I believe that ego can drive people to want to be in a powerful business position, this means that black people have the least ego and therefore just want to experience God. This means that in terms in jobs, they often want what’s just enough to make them happy. A person without ego would only do harm to other people if his perception of God is skewed. They know they were created by God, but lack of knowledge (like knowing we are all particles of God) can lead to confusion. For example, thinking that you are God yourself (which is true, but not in that way), thinking that other people might not exist, or thinking that the best way to find heaven is on earth. This kind of confusion can (not necessarily will) lead to devil worship. If these people are grounded though and know who other people are, it often leads to very nice and or strong people who don’t do things for themselves.

Asian people, particularly from oriental regions, have balanced the ego and the spiritual. This means that there are still motivated by a higher power, but still have some sense of self importance. Some people have applied this balance to both business and spirituality. Of course, a perception of spirituality can be skewed (as mentioned above) which can cause harm.
