Deny God for the sake of God

Look at the cold drink advertisements—they’re completely fantastical. The person who takes a sip is instantly energized, floats in the air, spins with joy, attracts their girlfriend or boyfriend, children stop crying and start dancing, and more. In reality, it simply quenches our thirst, and that’s all.

Similarly, so many fantasies about God have arisen over time, shaped by culture, customs, religions, priests, and even the common man. Most people live within these fantasies, hardly ever experiencing the reality. Blinded by these imagined versions, people fight over whose fantasy is right, leading to chaos. I question everything said about God and genuinely strive to understand. These efforts help clear away the clouds of ignorance, allowing me to see the underlying essence; this discovery brings contentment. The statement "deny God for the sake of God" holds true for me—I deny(or rather, I don't take for granted) what others say about God, regardless of their credentials, and I make sincere efforts to understand, thereby realizing the God.

As per my discovery, the essence of life is God than any tangible entity. That essence exists in me, in you, and in everyone. From this perspective, we all belong to one religion.

I don't want to say "God is the essence of life", since people interpret God in their own terms and they would claim their version of God is all that is. Rather, I would say the essence of life is God. The essence of of life is unknown to typical human mind and you will automatically learn everything in the journey of knowing that unknown.

Points to ponder:

#1

This realization came to me while my colleagues were discussing customs. I felt a deep pain seeing how unconsciously people live, I mean believing something with no attempt to understand. I believe this is what genuine spiritual leaders mean by "awareness" or the call to "wake up" so that understanding comes.

#2

To me, religious conclusions about God are like lullabies. Each religion defines God in its own way, eventually leading to different fantasies being created over time. People live within these fantasies, making no effort to truly understand; they simply follow what they were told (such as visiting certain places, praying, and following customs), believing it is enough to secure God. If anyone ventures out to seek understanding beyond what they were taught, the fear of hell appears; and even if they overcome that barrier, history shows they are often harshly criticized or even killed. Thus, conclusions about God keep people passive and asleep regarding their understanding of God, blocking growth. Thus I say all conclusions about God are lullabies.

Whenever these kinds of realizations spark, I feel as though I’m lifted to a higher state, at least for those moments. From that level, when I look at the world around, I see people suffering, trapped by these fantasies and other forms of ignorance. I am truly free from all that suffering during these heightened states and feel the urge to share what I discover—not for recognition, but for the genuine benefit of others. This genuine sharing is love to my knowledge. I can feel a vibration in those moments—very soothing, bringing me contentment, joy, and the ability to accept everyone (including enemies) unconditionally, freeing me from all judgments. These vibes give me sense that those feelings are nothing but love. I find myself trusting these vibes more than any literal definitions to know love from other feelings. Sharing these realizations is also risky—it has the potential to harm society if my understanding is flawed. If not, it’s fine; I rely on those vibes in that moment to decide whether to share or not.

For some reason, I feel as though I have already moved on to another plane of reality that resonates with my current state of being. In this present plane of reality—Earth—there is far more drama than true expression. Too much time goes into survival: earning money, taking care of family, going through life less or uninspired education system, sheer competition, following endless rules and regulations keeping us away from the real juice of life, and much more. That often leaves little time to truly live sucking the nectar of life like a bee draws honey, without harming the flower—expressing the core of ourselves that the heart longs for, honesty, filter less wholehearted conversations with people around, enjoying the body's chemistry during transitions from childhood to youth to adulthood, experiencing those heightened states that can occur between opposite genders, appreciating the diversity of nature and climate, exchanging wisdom and knowledge with a pure spirit of growth, loving and caring without attachment, wandering rather than remaining in one place for long time, and more.

I feel that I have already entered this new state of being, though my physical body is still here on Earth. I honor my existence in the current state of life on Earth even though it is not my preference anymore, and use it to express my new state of being as much as possible to feel content and it may inspire others.
