My perspective - truth or delusion?
#1
My perspective - truth or delusion?
My perspective is that the nature of goodness is that it is linked to eternal basis. This eternal basis is the source of the nobility of the spirit behind goodness.

My perspective is that we have a soul and we have the light of God as the foundation of that soul. It shines bright. The light of greatness, the light of beauty, is all pointing to absolute origin and basis.

The nobleness in goodness, shows a link to the divine. The authority of morality speaks of eternal basis.

My perspective is that this all spiritual knowledge. We are endowed with knowledge of God.

Now here is the question, if God exists and he is all these things, the source of morality, the eternal basis to it, the sun of the rays of greatness - this perspective would be based on reality right?

Now why wouldn't it be knowledge if he is all this? Why if a soul exists should we not believe in spiritual knowledge that the eyes of the soul can see.

Now suppose there is no God. What is the delusion? Where is it coming from? Why this false belief? Why does it seem morality needs an eternal basis? Why does it seem greatness points to eternal greatness? Why does it seem honor points to eternal honor?

Why does it seem I know morality to be true and that the noble spirit behind it is divine?

What exactly is the source of this delusion, that makes me feel like I know something I don't?

It seems it's only really possible to be a delusion, if God doesn't exist. But the way I perceive it - it seems like genuine knowledge.

Why does it seems morality needs an eternal basis? In fact without this eternal basis, we get people saying things like it comes down to survival or self interest.

The nobility of the spirit behind morality, the why, the should, the command, the authority - am I the only one perceives this as such?

Why shouldn't I make the choice to believe it's genuine knowledge? After all, in the case of God existing and he being as I described, the knowledge would justified.

So it seems the only way to tell me I am deluded is to assume God doesn't exist.

But why should I believe that?
