Growing up in Christianity, with the fundamentalist approach, everything was about belief, but for me, believing never gave me the peace that surpasses all understanding I was looking for. If anything, it only produced a number of subconscious fears, anxieties, doubts, and “what if” questions. I realized that believing in something always leaves the door open for that thing to be untrue.
So, a few years ago, I started pondering these questions: Why does it have to be about believing?
If God is real, if God exists, why can't we *know* instead of believe? What is the point in believing in ultimate reality when it can be directly experienced?
After all, Jesus said we would *know* the truth, and truth would make us free. He didn't say we would “believe” the truth; he said we would know.
With the mystical approach, following the path of many Christian mystics and the mystics from the Eastern traditions, through the methods of meditation (there are MANY methods and paths), I experienced “God” (Ultimate Reality) directly, and this liberated me from needing to believe in something. This experience of direct knowing also liberated me from the fear-mongering of religion that entails man-made doctrines such as a place in the afterlife called “hell” where “unbelievers” would spend eternity for their lack of belief, the notion that we are inherently and fundamentally sinful and separated from God until we “believe” in something that would this enable us to be spiritually regenerated and righteous, and the belief that “God” was some kind of deity (or deities) that existed outside of myself who sat on a throne in heaven awaiting the moment “He” would pour out divine wrath on unbelievers.
All of these “beliefs” I was indoctrinated with dissipated after my direct experience. God went from being a distant object that existed to existence itself. A mega being in the sky to the ground of all being. A finite monarch on a throne to an infinite sea of consciousness from which everything arises, and ultimately, something that could never be fully encompassed or grasped by the mind.
But most importantly, my experience of “God” (even the word God doesn't even begin to describe what “God” is) awakened me to the reality that “God” is intrinsically one with my being and that separation is merely an illusion.
In this video, I discuss, in depth, why I no longer “believe” in God. I also discuss the path of direct experience and why it was the only thing that genuinely transformed my life and produced an inner peace that surpasses all understanding.
