Beliefs
November 20th, 2009 by Wayne (Wirs)
I started writing a post about why we believe and cling to a theory (or religion), when, by its very definition, a theory is unproven.
I wanted to show that if you can change your belief to, “I believe I do not die when my body dies,” then you will naturally overcome the fear of death. Overcoming the fear of death will dramatically weaken the ego (as it did for me). A weaker ego is much easier to drop than a strong one.
But how do you get someone to believe that they don’t die upon bodily death (if they believe otherwise)? For that matter, why do people believe A over B? Can they make themselves believe B if they can see the benefits?
Anyway, I ended up scrapping the whole post because I kept going around in circles which tells me it’s not fleshed out enough.
But, since I wanted to get something posted today, well, this is one of those examples where blogging can be just as messy as real life. So just forget I said anything about beliefs and go out and enjoy the day.
If you think others may enjoy this post, please share it via Facebook, Twitter, Email, etc...
Thank-you. Wayne

I am not afraid of death becuase I know that death is painless…in order to recall pain we would have to be alive! So therefore there is no reason to be fearful of it. Whether there is something beyond this life is something only the dead know…we can chose to live within our belief system yet if one choses to not believe there is no reason to change that belief—its a personal choice. I do believe there is a realm where spirits go to live another type life than the one here on Earth…I will live as a spirit being moving through space and time onto a higher tier of life, where physical pain does not exist.
