Did one seem better, more real, more connected and speaking a truth to you the other's didn't? Maybe going against your family and generations of the general family belief or religion causing discord with other family members? Overall what has kept you to remain to the one belief, faith, religion, path that told you so strongly that this is for you? That you have a knowing this is ......right? Or what was it that changed if you found yourself being drawn to another Belief, faith or religion? What was so convicting that shifted your whole perception? To make such a dramatic change from one you may have been taught your whole life to a totally different one? or where you forced to change and didn't want to? That significant 'something' that changed everything.]]> Anonymous https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/religion-faiths-general-faiths/why-change-religions-faiths-and-belief-s/ Karma https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/religion-faiths-general-faiths/karma-3/ Sun, 16 Jun 2013 12:58:33 +0000 PJ7 https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/religion-faiths-general-faiths/karma-3/ The Seeking Life's Big Question. https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/religion-faiths-general-faiths/the-seeking-lifes-big-question/ Sun, 10 Mar 2013 00:59:47 +0000 Life's Big Question. Hi all A thought came to me this evening. .A little tired:025: but once you get something in your head you know you just have to get is out otherwise its lost and cannot be recalled as it originally was. Im sure others have had this experience. so if I go a little astray forgive me.:) It is interesting how people form beliefs. To read, experience, hear or see things in their lives and come to take these things as true. To believe that there is no other way but the way that they found. Over time as we grow, something else enters our lives which knocks away our old beliefs which at one time we felt was truth. I too have had many experiences where at one time in life something spiritually found seemed to be ‘truth’. And can anyone knock these beliefs from us?!. Our beliefs would have been set in stone carried down the mountain by Moses.:rolleyes: We begin to uphold and defend our truth against others truths, truth of existence, truth of god, truth of healing etc. Many books I have read, and at the end of each book I commented ‘ that was the best book I ever read ’life changing!, until I have read another book then the previous book didn’t seem to have the same status about being the best book because the latest one has taken its place. Over time the interesting part I found is when after experiencing and learning so much, looking back to what I believed were ‘the answers’, were really just a part of many experiences of at the time ‘believed answers’. The way we defend our beliefs, the way we can see no other than what was before us. I believe to date people believe so solidly what they need to at certain times in their lives, nothing can question, nothing of any evidence can shake the self constructed belief. For that belief. That experience arrives to serve a purpose. What purpose? I don’t know. But a need it is. The hunger for truth, the hunger for answers in my view can never be filled while we inhabit a physical body, while in a physical body I believe we can never be sure as to what we feel or hear inside is something other than our own intellects, our own creations. We have a seeking that will drive us all our lives in many ways not aware of. At the time before our passing I envision we will look back on our lives, see our journeys and realise the lifetime drive to keep busy, to be kept distracted from our haunting inner questions, to ease the unanswered thoughts. In the end letting go and allowing the time of passing away to eventually feel that we may now find out that which we strove to find the answers to all our lives. However I have felt there must be something, something that drives us, something beyond our physical human form, something bigger than our questions and thoughts. And it is from the thought ‘how we became aware’?:confused: What drives our existence in the way we live? Other animals, mammals share our world yet most live an animal life, what then happened to us to evolve to an extent we have created a world and live to an extent to have created every fine detail of our lives. To know love, to hate, to wear clothes, to evolve communication, to build, to discover science, to work, businesses, to build a car, to find medical cures etc etc ……you get my drift?:) I can try to understand possibly that other living things were created from the earth since time began in the right conditions and environment, BUT at one point in the sense of humans, at one point something changed, something?, something may have looked at us and from a bigger picture, created lives and the growth we all created since the time of man. This question I feel is something that humans can only in reality ask is there something else? that we currently physically and mentally experience and live. A god behind our awakening? A something out there? We can debate and discuss ‘again maybe our beliefs to what we think is right, but cannot possibly know is right !!’ but it is this question in our reality that does present before us possibly evidence for some reason? Does it seem humans are different to any other living thing on earth? Therefore what has happened to humans for them to awaken and evolve as such compared to why other living things which have seemed to stayed as they have been I expect since creation, leads to thinking there is something bigger than our beliefs and ideas of creation?. this question in my view seems more real because of our difference compared to other living things. than in the direct questioning in something we believe in not presenting evidence in the physical realm but also cannot be sure of the evidence to whence it can from. Good night or is it now morning:039:.

One of the studies, from Oxford, concluded that children below the age of five found it easier to believe in some “superhuman” properties than to understand human limitations. Children were asked whether their mother would know the contents of a closed box. Three-year-olds believed that their mother and God would always know the contents, but by the age of four, children start to understand that their mothers were not omniscient.

I began to wonder, if God was not in the wind or fire, but in the still small voice, what was that voice saying to me? These words from the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, immediately came to mind, “There is no power apart from God. Omnipotence has all power and to acknowledge any other power is to dishonor God.” For me, that was the face of God. I knew in that moment that no matter what else happened or what the results of the fire were, I would not dishonor God by acknowledging another power. Within hours, what became known as the “Willie Fire” was the top priority among fires in the United States. Throughout that night and for the next several days my conviction of God’s power and presence held. Several days later, when we were allowed to check on our property, we saw an amazing sight. Everything on the west side of the highway was completely destroyed (no homes were on this side, only trees and vegetation). Everything on the east side, where our cabin was located, along with 70 other threatened properties, remained green and untouched. I will try to add while I'm away, but meanwhile over to you all...
