The power of ignorance

The power of all religion and belief is in the individual’s ignorance of self. It is because of the shallow observations of life that can only be observed and understood with the mind. It is the knowing of ideas and the lack of knowing of the feelings of self and others. It is the lazy person’s way of being and not becoming.

When you look only at the object of living and avoid the subjective side of the self, you are only half living and experiencing. It is identifying only with the object that you observe and see, but failing to feel the connection of the object with all of life and even yourself. This creates an isolation from the self and existence and supports the ego as the only source of your beingness. All perceptions become one-sided and lack the fullness that only feeling and thought can bring together in perceptions of truth.

Thought only is an immature observation of self, being, reality and existence. Awareness and thought are a mature observation of the totality of all that can be experienced and known as true.
