What you are describing is simply impossible. There will always be something we put our trust in without first thinking it through. Just to get through our day, we must trust that our actions will lead to predictable results, even though there is nothing in the laws of nature which make that a certainty. We must also trust other people around us will behave in rather predictable ways, and that is certainly not guaranteed. We must trust that social/cultural institutions will reward us for our sacrifices, even though they often don't.SanteriSatama wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 2:15 amNo, it's wrong to believe. Why? Haven't you seen Brian's Life? That's why. Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, all they fucked up by becoming religion, objects of belief and worship.
Spiritual transformations can be pretty hard and difficult, and at the most risky stage many fuck up and get in the guru business in some way or another. Belief is wrong generally, and especially towards those who go through the risky period.
Why not just have an open mind and keep on learning, why the rush to make a blind judgement out of ignorance?
The question then becomes how do we decide what/who to trust and to what extent? And I agree there that 'blind faith' in spiritual gurus will mostly be counter-productive. And that presents the most potential for mistrust with deep consequences. But it's a mistake to go from there to the assertion that all spiritual figures and traditions of the past should be equally regarded with skepticism. We need to see what works across all dimensions of our existence, and if we are fortunate enough to experience that first-hand, then we better hold on to that for dear life.
