Please tell me all your secrets. Bring me to that state of mind you have perfected where I too can stand amid the unenlightened masses and scoff at their name calling, indifferent to the imbecile I have become. Teach me!
Ok, whatever mate.
I will teach you.
First lesson.......never call yourself an imbecile.
The mantra will decide who you are.
If you keep on repeating that you are an imbecile imbecile will become but
if you say that you are that cosmic entity you will become Him.
That is what a mantra is all about son.
I just wonder what kind of psychological tragedy he had to be clinging to this fantasy world. Some famous examples are Arthur Conan Doyle who lost his son in ww1 and went totally berserk, living in the fantasy world is really not uncommon. But also it reminds me of a woman that lost her son in the 80s and since medicine gave up on him (he had Leukemia) she was bringing him to all those faith healers like Popoff to the point, when he did die, she totally started believing in Sai Baba, to this day, as this god like being - although she was educated and non believer before. Telling this really staggering stories how Sai Baba has this ability to project something like google maps on the wall and zoom in so deep inside that he can create portal and teleport people trough it.
And when you think about it life after death is really not for us personally, it is not so unbearable to us that we have to die, but it is actually harder to be reconciled with the fact that people that we love are not here anymore. I don't deny it, it is a mystical feeling that you have still in your brain memories of personality of some person that perished. Therefore there are religions that give some people illusion of extending that relationship trough prayer or by paying mass decades after death so that their supposed soul can go from purgatory to paradise that if it's someone's parents they feel like they're responsible children.
Needles to say people should thought how to face the reality.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
