Pedes, This journey is long and arduous. I've felt pretty isolated, alone, and stressed about what's going on in the world. It's gotten to a point where I can't have a healthy relationship with my girlfriend of 3 years. She's not fully awake, but she isn't a complete npc either.
How do you keep yourself positive through all this, and how do you clean yourself of this negativity? The last thing I want is to bring this stress and negativity onto the people I care about.
I love reading your path to God! Just curious, do you believe Christ is the correct and possibly only path to God or just the best option that fits you?
I believe the only way is through Christ's sacrifice, but I'm not 100% sold that those who do not outright reject Christ can't come to the Father without saying the magic prayer they teach in Sunday school.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and will give Be Here Now a look.
I think Chrisr is literally the way because of his sacrifice, your conscious acceptance of that has great value, but I think there's room to argue that he died for everyone's sins, period, regardless of if they accept it or not. I have never heard the concept you put forth in this way before so it's very interesting. I used to listen to Scott Adam's religiously but he hasn't been so insightful since Jan 6 and that's a shame, but he talks about religion being about mental health and Jesus was a master persuader. I think there is room to consider these lines of thinking even as I believe more traditionally for myself that Christ is the only way I follow and believe and that he is an active, literal savior.
