Let your faith be bigger than your fear

"He not busy being born is busy dying”. Bob Dylan. When one faces reality, as I have in my studies of science, health, and the human psychology so far, looking at all the suffering caused by humans to themselves, it is very sad thing to know. And when you ask the atheists who do not believe in existence of god, as to how their life is going and they always lie, that they are just fine without having God. It is only the question of faith in god and not fear about god.

The problem is they have never tried to approach God with a humble attitude to help them out of their suffering, and they refuse to admit how messed up they are. Most suffer in darkness of denial and delusions that they use to keep the “monster” of reality from having an effect on them. Keep “reality at bay”, as we say, using whatever methods they believe work. And sometimes that is constantly making money, working, taking drugs, and alcohol, partying, sex, and any diversion seeking pleasure where it does not exist for any length of time. Constantly seeking a way to stop the pain of reality.

Moreover, desires are never quenched by a temporary fix. Worldly desire is pain, and so you seek the object of that desire which are just temporary in nature like casual sex, alcohol and drugs give you a temporary high and only leads to desire for more and more to stop the emotional pain of desires and emotional needs. It can never be quenched and satisfied, not ever. And the results are more sicknesses, more obesity, more divorce, more suffering. Chasing after delusions causes only more need to bury these delusions in your mind and say “I’m just fine.”

Now consider the fact that most marriages in the USA end up in an angry divorce and the kids are emotionally traumatized, why do you think there is so much emotional problems for people today? When I started reading the spiritual books in great detail, all of those answers to all of mankind's problems are clearly discussed since ages and the cure is also shown in that amazing message from our Creator. I had studied it for over 50 years in several translations but never completely understood it until I looked at it from science and from psychology.

Say now I am at 62 years young, and only about 8 years of fully understanding spirituality since I started practising meditation. It takes time to work on oneself to let God fix you because believing in God has always helped me overcome my fears. It is correct to all of the research and all of the data we have on human problems. All of them. And it has the answer to all of those problems, and the only hope for mankind to have a peaceful and good life.

Mostly, it's the fear of death. At it's conception there were many more physical dangers being eaten by wild animals, ravaged by disease, or massacred by a neighbouring enemy so bizarre stories were made up and told to attempt to ease insecurity. Judging by what I’ve seen, I don’t think it really works well in most cases. However, it caught on.

In this case though, the fact that there is no objective evidence at all that supports any of the reality-defying concepts of religion, a deity, afterlife, a soul, reincarnation, a supernatural realm, and so on, often makes one hesitate to reject a huge part of reality. Oddly, many religions profess a devil and a hell, which actually increases the fear level. I suppose that, if the carrot does get them then the stick might work. But when you start having faith in god in whichever form you like to worship or pray you start believing in God and slowly any fear about religion or anything else goes away from your mind as it becomes free.
