November Project: Question #12
This question comes from Steven through email
I have read all the posts in this project and I find it interesting so far. But my question comes more from the comments. My questions is, if you don’t believe in an afterlife, don’t believe an enlightened age is coming, don’t believe in spiritual stages or whatever, what do you believe in?
Thanks for your question, Steven.
First, lets consider the phrase Don’t Believe. Don’t Believe is not the thing at all. There is a great deal of activity in Don’t Believe, and it is really not so very different from believing.
Don’t Believe also needs a contrary position, as in, “I don’t believe because of this or that.” You might also say Don’t Believe needs the “I”, but what is the “I” other than a contrary position?
Not that any of this is good or bad…we’re just exploring the words a bit. It might seem like mere semantics, and you may not have meant to use Don’t Believe in that way, so, sorry if this is a bit off the subject.
Your real question is, What do you believe? [click to continue…]
