Why are people so childish about their precious beliefs being questioned, after all there only beliefs, that doesn’t mean there true, or false, there just your’s, your precious baby. Just like our baby we don’t like anyone saying anything against it, and in fact we will even kill to protect our baby.
While there is some truth to this amusing assertion we should not get carried away with the analogy. That said, I don't think it is particularly helpful to call the beliefs that human animals carry around within themselves as being childish - though some indeed can be. I would suggest that distinctly childish ideas about reality are remarkably few and far between.
This mind set is the same with our belief systems, I feel that this is nothing more than the ego trying to protect itself, for the beliefs are made from the ego, and so need protection. If our beliefs were not from the ego, then we wouldn't need to protect them, we would simply let it go, no matter what anyone says, we would not care less, but the ego does care, and it will do anything to protect itself.
While it is true that we can intuit direct experiences outside of the usual purview of the ego from other areas of consciousness those intuited experiences are, necessarily,
filtered through the ego. Ideally these occur through
expansions of consciousness which also expands the awareness of the ego, but not the ego itself or egotistical tendencies themselves.
I feel that if we were not so into wanting to be right with everything we believe in, that the world would be a much better place. This whole world has been in conflict for thousands of years, all because of our wanting to be right, when in fact we are all wrong.
To quote Forest Gump, "Stupid is as stupid does!" Personal reality is a odd combination of certainty, gleaned from experience, in an uncertain world that, at times, seems to be out to get us. The survival instinct is very strong and is far more primal than our ideas about reality. It might prove helpful to not confuse the two.
Likewise, generalizing about conflicts as being about one group inflicting their vision of correctness on others is pretty low hanging fruit and displays an appalling lack of understanding about both the nature of conflict and about human behavior itself. Conflicts are more often than not the result of long simmering feuds over very real circumstances that are sparked by the proverbial `'last straw that broke the camel's back' than they are about single acts that precipitate conflict. Who is right and who is wrong is often irrelevant.
All that we can ever know is through our limited senses, we cannot know anything that is outside our limited senses. Because we cannot know anything outside, we can only know a fraction of what is outside, or perceived to be outside.
If you are really going to park your truck on this point why would you call such a limited condition childish? Don`t you think doing so is somewhat childish?
My whole point is that we really know nothing, and yet most of us think we do, and we are also so proud of knowing what they know, the more we know the greater we feel.
In theory we learn from our experiences, thus being more aware of the circumstances that form our personal reality may well make one more stable and less fearful. Knowledge can set you free, as it were. Perhaps the greatest asset is the embracing of uncertainty. If one can feel safe and secure in what appears to be a hostile universe that is out to get us one does not have to invest so much effort into elaborate defenses. So, I will partially agree with you on this point, no matter how clumsily it was worded.
Everything we know is from conditioning and programming, plus genetics, we are really just a puppet controlled by the Source, or Consciousness...
You left out experience and what we, in theory, learn from said experiences. We are not the sock puppet of "the Source or Consciousness", full stop. We have volition and exercise judgment. We have the ability to change our experience of reality
if we so choose. We are imbued with consciousness, not it`s play-toy.
So next time you think you know something, remember, it was only because of your programming and conditioning that you arise to that belief, that is your conditioning to whatever you have been conditioned to, such as culture, you are not your culture, you are not your beliefs, you are beyond all that, you are the pure Source of Consciousness, the rest is just made up by the ego.
Again, this is such a mishmash of unconnected dots that it is hard to determine what to address first. Though I will grant that culture and conditioning can have a profound effect on the average person, none of us actually conform to the expected conventions. We are very much rebels in the machine, as it were.
It is a profound mistake to assume one is beyond the circumstances that they find themselves within and can generate quite delusional responses which can make dealing with said reality far more complicated. If you are in a given circumstance then you should simply try to appreciate what got you there and if you are unhappy with those circumstances, pool the resources required from within yourself, to get yourself out of those circumstances.
I am a champion of the poor begrudged ego. The ego is one of the most effective, resilient and pliable aspects of consciousness and its continued denigration is not healthy in terms of overall stability of said ego. Egotistical behavior is another beast altogether. I just hate how so many high-minded sounding human animals denigrate one specialized aspect of the psyche for another. I`d rather leave people with the idea that the ego is a marvelous mechanism that should be cherished and encouraged to expand its horizons within the loving embrace of its larger identity, rather than being some ugly duckling of the pristine Cosmic Soul.
, you have presented an OP that gives others permission to threaten your beliefs and thus you open yourself up to being caused to feel "vulnerable". Psycoslice, everything in your OP is a belief that is based on your personality programming and these beliefs give you permission to feel power (to feel safe). And what you say in your OP also applys to you personally
