Essentially what it comes down to, in Buddhism, is the
nature of god can be found within and this goes against every religion. While
Christian, muslim, jewish faiths preach to believe in somebody from thousands
of years ago and to believe and fear in god and his wrath.
Buddhism has a bit of a misinterpretation of god because
people think in Buddhism that you should worship the Buddha from 2500 years ago
when this is exactly quite the opposite.
There are many of enlightened beings currently on earth,
some share their enlightenment in the written, some the oral, some through art
and pop culture, some through making movies or documentaries and some may be
those you least expect, the housewife that spends hours making sure her family
is fed a nutritious and healthy meal for example.
Buddhism works for me because it tells of a story of a man a
long time ago that set out to become enlightened and to see all, to experience
true liberation and this can be achieved by anybody that sets their mind to it,
it may take several lifetimes but where I differ from the scripture is that it
does not take millennia for most, only one lifetime.
I think the strongest aspect that drives Buddhism is that
there is suffering in the world and it is immense so for a religion to finally
tell the truth is an aspect that I agree with. Parts of the other faiths ‘have
the message’ but none really teach you anything except to adore their rituals
and customs, and none offer a way out from samsara and the matrix essentially
like Buddhism does in teaching you to work with the mind and if you don’t know
meditation, then you can just simply work with observing the breath.
Many in existence right now are helping to evolve the planet
through a world of atheistic belief and this may seem right but essentially
what it comes down to is the fact that the person does not have faith in anything per se and there is much
already established that we can believe in, and if none of it works for you
then there is always the ability to create
your own. But so many believe in nothing because it is a comfort, and this
is usually a pretty bad path because it does not allow you the ability to shape
your future incarnations through meditation for example or shape your current
reality in purpose driven meditation, affirmations, auto suggestion etc
There are people that are successful in ALL faiths and some
that are success driven without subscribing to any faiths, but there is also many people that are
being indoctrinated and programmed to spread the gospel when that is not the
way to salvation, an all loving most high god would not send an ambassador of
him to be murdered for the sins of man and to be adored in a disgusting ritual
of eating his body and drinking his blood. It seems these faiths have made us
all scripted into a gigantic holy war for centuries but if you believe in inter
dimensional travel and astral travel then you can believe that there is
hundreds if not thousands if not an infinite amount of earths all happening
concurrently the next one over just has one less mosquito.
Only the most intelligent and most evolved are attracted to
a faith like Buddhism and even simple meditation or yoga because they see the
intellect in it all and the ability to spend a lifetime becoming enlightened, so
the nature of god remains within, whatever happens ‘out there’ is beautiful and
magical and most likely the object of supreme intelligence, not something you
have to concern yourself with, what you have to concern yourself with, is
releasing yourself from the cycle of birth and rebirth into unfortunate poverty,
disease, or karmic stricken lives. Away from this prison apparatus that is
reality confined within a module of suffering and pain and into an ultimate
beautiful reality where, you matter. Where you are somebody, where you CAN make
a difference, not just a cog in a machine or some useless eater or somebody
that is detested, in the spiritual realm every one matters, everyone is
somebody, and everyone has achieved their purpose.
