Have you noticed recently that when you tread upon someone’s belief system (BS) these days there’s a very high probability that they’ll go full retard on you and suffer a complete ego meltdown? And it can get pretty ugly, right?

What is it about belief systems, that in this late stage of the game, there’s still so many convinced that their personal, unique belief system is actually the One True Belief System (OTBS – or Over the Top Bull Shit)? Really? You’ve got it exactly right and everyone else in the world is wrong… really? C’mon, you can’t actually believe that!

But that’s the trap of belief systems.

Indeed, we have to believe something. But what we have to stop believing in is that the One True Belief System exists at all. It doesn’t; they’re ALL bullshit.

Whatever I believe in the moment informs my actions and behavior in the Now. And that results in consequences. The consequences I face as a result of my actions, as determined by what I believe, is invaluable feedback for adjusting or ADAPTING what I choose to believe. That’s called growth or evolution.

The Scientific Method is ideally exactly just such a feedback system. It takes aim at the One True Belief System, never knowing whether it might ever actually get there, but absolutely knowing that it’s not there yet… in perpetuity.

The closest we can get right now, as individuals, to the One True Belief System is to understand Natural Law. Natural Law is that which is operative in the universe ubiquitously at all times without exception… for example, the Law of Cause and Effect. And it’s not a belief system. Here’s why: gravity, for instance, doesn’t give a flying fuck what you believe about gravity; it operates exactly the same regardless. There’s no choice involved; Natural Law is what is. (See Mark Passio on YouTube for an in-depth treatment of Natural Law.)

Belief systems are costumes or masks which you may choose to wear temporarily in order to explore and experience various territories within consensus reality. But ultimately, they are dead things… because they are static. When you invest the whole of your life into a particular belief system, you too become a dead thing. Oh sure, there’s a bit of zombification involved as is evidenced when any such belief system is threatened… and then all manner of incoherent howling, drooling and flailing is quite likely to occur.

Perhaps another example is in order. I am amazed and astounded really, when people among the supposedly awake and aware crowd will so very easily agree that virtually all orthodox religions are obviously mind-control programs which were installed centuries ago. But when you update those programs– just like the latest updates for your computer– and you change the names of the entities involved from gods, angels, and demons to ETs, ascended masters and archons, suddenly so many have great difficulty recognizing that it’s the exact same program. It’s the same old whore with a brand new dress… just repackaged and rebranded. And now, when it comes to ascension, it’s not even a new dress; it’s some ratty old secondhand thing from the thrift store. Such a flimsy threadbare thing should be easy enough to see through.

C’mon, religious programming is religious programming.

“But no, Niels! This is the One True Belief System! This time it’s true!”

Yes, of course it is.

Can’t we finally get past this nonsense?

You guys probably think of me as a bible beater.
Curiously though, Jesus spent a goodly amount of time deflating belief balloons.

Jesus was good at time management too. He had a grasp of "the moment" and had a good answer ready for just about anyone.

It all seemed so effortless as well, even the story of when he was 12 years old schooling the Pharisees.

...

And speaking of messiahs. What about Buddha? I'm sure there are non buddhists who can see the truth peeking out from between his words.

...

But in terms of the system (after all that's where we get power, right?) Christ was mostly silent, tolerant, sometimes he just ignored the establishment altogether and sat in a field.


He laughed at stupid questions like Are we married in heaven etc. But as for one true belief, the Jews assumed they would recognize God and apparently according to the new testament, they did not succeed.


Christ put emphasis on doing one's best and doing it simply & honestly. You don't need a manual to do that.

It is interesting how some folks in modern times feel torn between religions...

But Jung would have said. What's the difference lol

I haven't. Someone told me that for the wrong minds.. Plato can be misinterpreted in a lot of harmful ways..
That said, It ties in rather nicely with the OP.

Has anyone here ever noticed how one's belief system changes over time?
Ever since childhood I've seen my belief system change, refine, get discarded, turned upside down, inside out.
Disappear and reappear in slightly different ways.

I've spotted them as amalgamations of stuff i read, thought and conjured.
It would be very presumptuous of me to not think that exactly that is happening to everybody.
I would venture to guess that that is why we talk about our doubts to a priest and use his words to defend our belief through the words of a so called expert.
Heck we can't just go along all of us looking at each other in total bewildered amazement and just say.
What the heck is going on? I don't know anything...
That would be the day won't it?
