Do You Know What You Believe? by lucianotawinji(m): 7:01am On Jul 05, 2020
It is easier to say yes, it is easier to say no, because there is nothing you have to do.

But to know needs guts. To know needs courage to remain in the state of not-knowing, and go on questioning everything till the moment you yourself arrive at the reality.

When you come to the reality there is no nega notivity, no positivity. You simply know -- it is your experience. I will not say it is positivity because positivity always has the other pole of negativity.

An experience goes beyond both; the whole world of polarities is transcended. That is true wisdom.

Doubt is the way to truth. No or yes are not ways, they prevent you.

It will look very strange, that yes does the same thing as no. In dictionaries they are opposites, but in reality they are not. They look opposite only, but both have not asked the question. Both have not tried to find out what the case is.

The communist believes, exactly as the christian believes.

The communist believes that there is no God. You can call it disbelief, but it is his belief. He has not inquired, he has not meditated; he has done nothing to find out that there is no God.

The Christian says there IS God. He has also done nothing. Both have chosen without moving an inch towards truth. That's why a very strange thing happens: the person who is a theist, a believer, can become a disbeliever, an atheist, in a single moment; and vice versa.


I now ask , WHY DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE?
