Can you summarise your beliefs in a few sentences?

[Deeje]

God created the material universe including all living things. Humans abused free will and lost perfection.
Jesus came to buy back what Adam lost, so all is restored in the end. The tried and tested human race
unitedly gets to spread paradise all over the world and enjoy what God purposed in the beginning.

 

[LegionOnomaMoi]

A few sentences? I can do it in two, Tarzan (broken English) sentences:
Me right. You agree or you wrong.

 

[atanu]

There are discrete levels of consciousness; several different dream states, in which one's reality exists entirely between one's ears, and a few "expanded" states, in which one perceives various degrees of the "Real" reality described by physics.

Waking state (3rd-state), which we're experiencing now, is a dream; a Matrix-like illusion.

Even if one's intellectually familiar with relativity, quantum mechanics, m-theory, &c, one has to live in the reality one perceives.

Now. Now. Relativity, QM, etc. are outside the Matrix-like illusion of the waking state (3rd state)?

I came...I listened... I shrugged...then I left...

 

[EtuMalku]

I am an Itheist
I don’t believe in any gods
I believe in the One inside
I will not surrender my Ego
Unless it is to My Self
You, is what others see
Me, is what I think I am
I, is what I truly am
I am a god in the making
I am the only god I will ever know
“I” am an Itheist

 

[gnostic]

After listening to Thief's chorus: "Spirit, first...Spirit, First...SPIRIT, FIRST!"

My usual response is this:

It is time like this, that I wished I had spare pair of shoes, so that I can throw them at thief.

...oh, what's the heck! *taking off my shoes*

 

[viole]

I'll go first, shall I?

The following comes from the Dalai Lama:

If you wish to be happy, practice compassion.

If you wish others to be happy, pactice compassion.

I suppose, strictly speaking, they're not really "beliefs" because I have verified them in my own personal experience.

I have found that when I DO practice compassion, I enjoy peace of mind. When I forget 2 practice, things can go down-hill very fast!

All the best!

If you are talking about supernatural beliefs, I can do it in a very short number of sentences.

Here we go. I believe in

I believe , even without the magic the portrait of Jesus in the bible is the most righteous description of a human being I have encountered .
It is a starting point and a returning point to a solid foundation of guidance from which all other places are reachable .

Can you summarise your beliefs in a few sentences?

We all live and get joy from the space gifted to us by others, therefore our utmost concern far as morality and quality of life go should always be to strive to deserve the gifts we receive and to pay it forward by being generous and open with others.

Respect and trust are cardinal virtues, but both must be earned rather than demanded or presumed.

To want an afterlife is a serious weakness. Mortality is a gift itself.

Deities are ok as personifications of concepts and virtues, but we should never take them too seriously, and certainly not in defiance of common and moral senses.

No, not necessarily supernatural beliefs. Beliefs about life in general. For example, the golden rule - would absolutely transform life on this planet ...

Enjoy your day!

Here's somethin I found in an old diary ...

I believe that every human being is born with the same potential for joy & unconditional love. The big question is how do we help them awaken that potential 2 its fullest.

Cheers!

 

[RRex]

every human being is born with the same potential for joy & unconditional love.

My mother beat that out of me in the crib.

Her words not mine.

 

[Geoff-Allen]

My mother beat that out of me in the crib.

Sorry 2 hear that!

Some people have had more trauma 2 deal with, which makes it a lot harder 2 believe in love. But the potential is still there buried inside.

All the best!

 

[Geoff-Allen]

Hi RRex

Me again

Believe it or not, I wasn't always this optimistic. FAR from it!

I am NO stranger 2 trauma myself.

I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia way back in 1983. Believe me, schizophrenia at its worst is an absolute CRASH course in suffering!

I won't bore you with all the gory details. Let's just say I was VERY angry & cynical 4 most of my adult life. I thought I would never change!

I didn't believe that love was real. I even started 2 wonder if people were real or whether they were just sophisticated robots.

I have lost track of how many times I seriously contemplated killing myself.

So, I am walking proof that it is possible 2 recover from a very dark place. My story is far from being the only one oof its kind.

Wishing you all the best!

I am an Itheist
I don’t believe in any gods
I believe in the One inside
I will not surrender my Ego

You, is what others see
Me, is what I think I am
I, is what I truly am
I am a god in the making

I believe you will find your god to be of no help in a pinch.

 

[Muffled]

To be a good guy.

I believe as Jesus said "There is none good but God."

 

[MARCELLO]

I believe as Jesus said "There is none good but God."

As much as I can

 

[Muffled]

You know I'm just joking around right?

Seriously? I believe you can do better than that.

 

[Muffled]

As much as I can

I believe that is the difference between a Christian and a non-Christian. A non-Christian does as well as he can and a Christian does as well as God can.

 

[Muffled]

Briefly -

Something created the universe and is now kicked back in its La-Z-Boy practicing its sadism by intentionally refusing to intervene in the running of its own creation.

I believe God is quite active in today's world. He most likely is not revealing everything to anyone though.
