It’s hard for me to explain this - but these days, I am finding it easier to understand why I disbelieve in a lot of things.
There are a lot of so-called ideas/worldviews in this world which certain people strongly believe are true and would die for, but these people do not realise that a lot of these are subjective and are human constructions.
They appear to be true to certain segments of the world population due to factors such as their political or cultural beliefs, socio-economic backgrounds, life experiences and even biological factors.
Take people who believe in certain dates like the year 2000 or 2012 for the end-of-the world. Yes, the year 2000 might have been significant to many, especially those brought up with a Christian worldview who believe that Christ would come after 2000 years. However, when the year was 2000 in the Western calendar, it was 4698 in the Chinese calendar, 5760 in the Hebrew calendar and 1379 in the Islamic/Persian calendars.
I feel that those people who make predictions about events using numbers/dates on the Western calendars do not understand the whole picture, and are just applying meaning to what is actually meaningless. Fine for them, they get what they deserve and they don’t have any obligation to impose their views on people from an entirely different background. Perhaps they can have they can have their end-of-the-world scenarios in their own countries or own communities.
It’s the same with numbers and numerology. There is no objective or spiritual significance to numbers and people are free to add their own meanings to numbers and the numbers have an effect on them because they believe it to be true.
After all, dates and numbers are justify arbitrary human constructions and they are not concepts that existed past time and space.
It’s the same for many ideas and concepts which people believe to be true simply because they believe it to be true, or their life experiences, an expression of their imagination pushed out, tell them so. E.g. those who believe in conspiracy theories and flat earths will see signs of conspiracy theories and flat earths because those they have hardened their own assumptions, in Neville Goddard’s parlance. Those who believe in round earths will see evidence of a round earth everywhere. And those people who believe that humans are born to suffer will keep on experiencing suffering because the idea of suffering has been pushed out into their reality by their imagination.
In summary, I would agree that only the only thing that matters is consciousness and what are reflected in our 3-D worlds are the assumptions that we have hardened.
Time to go back to my mental diets.
