What I Believe

I believe it is a good idea for bloggers to detail what they believe, so that visitors can get the necessary perspective on the blogger's viewpoint. So here is my belief list, subject to constant change and perpetual testing;

• I believe that we do not have the cognitive equipment to perceive or understand ultimate reality. Anything we say or believe about god or truth or anything "absolute" is therefore highly conjectural, definitely questionable, and probably wrong, either in part or whole. So why take these conceptual creations seriously?
  
• I believe that all cognitive dualities are products of our minds and therefore fictions. This include dualities such as good/bad, good/evil, and right/wrong. It does not include relative descriptions of experience such hot/cold. These made up distinctions are to be abandoned and anyone who insists on their reality is inherently dangerous, perhaps even crazy.
  
• I believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience, the principal challenge of which is dealing with the interpretation facility of our mind(s). I do not believe that we are mere humans attempting to have spiritual experiences and failing, for whatever made up reason (such as original sin). Most religious nonsense is based to some degree on this second perspective, which I regard as unhelpful and misleading.
  
• I believe that "original sin" is nothing more that our forgetting that we are constantly connected to Source, which is an illusion since we cannot ever be separated from Source.
