Belief

Belief systems and higher powers base themselves: a fear of death, of life, and of not knowing. People need comfort and explanations. Like a security blanket, they require the idea that one joins a higher power in a “better place” after passing away. This primordial fear traces itself back to the earliest civilizations. Early man, like today, needed answers. Out of their inquiries, came a belief in a higher being. They formed rituals for birth and death, and from these rituals organized religions developed. I do not believe in a higher power or a heaven after death.
I am not a terribly faithful person, but I am spiritual. I recognize the notion that if you do well, good will come back to you. I believe in energies and spirits, which are not necessarily a “God.” We are born, we evolve, we die, and that’s the end. There is no Devil to account for wrong doings. People must take the blame themselves. No God creates miracles. Rather, we possess the power to create these “divine” miracles.
