Ok. I think. If I understand you right, you fear that realising there might be no god to which to ascend will lead to your feeling alone in the world, spiritually speaking. That you are going to have to face life on its own terms, without the safety net of believing you're destined for higher things. Am I on the right track? Because if so, I have to ask you if believing the panacea - the "comforting lie" - is more important to you than the harsh truth of reality?
As for whether finding your own path is subjective, again if that's what you're saying, well yes it is. So is everyone else's. The interface between those subjective paths is called society. Welcome to the human race.
I want to believe the truth whatever it maybe. It's just that I fear the truth being other then God existing. In this sense, I have a bias towards what I perceive as the truth. However, if God doesn't exist, I don't want to believe that he does.
Alone and facing life on it's own terms is another subject. What I was talking about is what it means to be human, the value of a human spiritually, and the stages of ascension and spiritual growth meant for him.
