Conciousne­ss start in total dark and you have to pass through three stages before birth as you are MD you know where it all starts. You have to retain that consiousness without realizing what is going to happen but the conception creates that conciousness and you do not come out immediately but you have to wait for the term, and when the real conciousness takes to reality by delivery the first cry nobody has analyzed or deciphered could or may be OH MY GOD ---- so goes the A for agony in atheist and for Agnostic --- I will rest the case for Theism for you to ponder more.

In trying to solve our problems we add more agonies in our lives and all diagnostics scientific, philosophical and religious are torn apart and ntohing seems to work but life goes on there has to be a better solution for our agonies and miseries -- and we can conciously overcome them not by all negation only --- truth will remain truth however the false is cloaked.

PS--- also you are a MD and know well about how the conciousness is maintained in the thinking brain--by the supply of fresh blood by heart pumping with oxygen---- you must have seen the inner composition of the human brain and the human heart while studying medicine --- from your narration it seems for you seeing is no believing case --- I am not a MD but there is something that keeps the heart pumping until the clock ticks ---- consciousness is not on its own if some other part does not deliver --- It is delivering Conscientiousnessly that makes big difference in matters of being the understanding of many things --- if you cut of blood supply with free oxygen from heart to brain where would your concsioussness go -- into total disbelieve and the final real reality and of course to a great DEADEND. We are equal humans, but some are superior, some are chosen, some are not so chosen, some are classless, some are privileged, some have gods, some only god, some no gods at all, for some no god but instantness, it is all now and or never. In this age of instantness we are so culturally divided and someone will find some way for a common link among all humans in different cultures about 7 billions strong there is one message --- we are all born equal, naked and with a cry, and we think about our birth, life to live and death.

""""""Why I Am Not an Atheist, Theist or Agnostic """"""----- because-- may be -- you keep thinking about God, or no God, Prophets and their problems, human sufferings and pains, breathing and forgetting who is supplying you the free oxygen, to carryon your thinking, finding solutions for our problems in abstract thinking --- far from the realities of life ---- and also because even after landing on moon humans learned that there was no honey on the moon for the most desired honeymoons travel to the moon --- dry and empty, we get entangled in one side of life so much we forget the unseen part yet to come, but that happens every day right in front of our eyes. Unless we change our focus and vision our destiny, beliefs and fortunes will keep falling like the current autum leaves everywhere. If nothing works that does not mean end of the world, there has to be some remedy, work with computers they make all the models so easy for our problem solutions ---- it is all about programming expertise shifted from human brains to the hard disks on the computers for human solutions and then learning to control the outcomes, oh no wonder with the unlimited capabilities most of us are so confused as to what should we be Athiest, Thiest or Agnostic it all depends on the final di-a- gnostics. Putting blame on one thing alone cannot cure all human ills --- So God help US all.

Your explanation blends with my beliefs, Deepak, but I understand how people become threatened and volatile when their religious beliefs are questioned. We will all find out soon enough the truth of all that is. Until then, let us each hold the beliefs that lead us to find meaning and joy in our lives.
Namaste,

Many of your posts, whether written or video format, are quite interesting. Religion as you mention in your video appears/ is inauthentic, though, I'll add, the followers themselves can be quite authentic and genuine, either in their tolerance or lack thereof for those who may walk a different path.

There are a number of things I am processing where belief is concerned. What I have come to realize is the illusory value inherent to nearly all things we come into contact w/ on a daily basis. We, humanity as a whole, are distracted and divided these things. Through experience, I have also come to realize we are being guided through this experience, each of us; there are forces acting upon us, a mere heartbeat away through the ether. For good or bad, we are not alone...when we think or speak or act, we have company. Life here is, well, I have no word for it. Words are so limiting anyway.

Take care. Things will not always be as they are here -- brighter days are ahead. I hope. Hope is all I have.

Peace and goodwill. =)

What a powerful sharing Depak and I so agree, that our visions are often disguised by our beliefs of how consciousness interacts with us through miracles of our own awakening. I became isolated to uncover these ancient miracles and learned how Jesus can communicate with us if we can shift our beliefs of who we are. There will always be those that will deny that great changes are upon them and they are fundamentally altered, they don't know why. They begin to have guilt say, or not being that kind to someone hence, responsibility, the reality of being responsible, where before, they thought before they had no responsibility it is a basic responsibility for the creation of their existence. My own awakening took place in the past two years through my ancient connection with Jesus who is my oversoul. Even when my world crashed before me ~ finding that I was unable to walk and the aspect of being homeless became very real to me, as yet I didn't totally understand my humility and reaching out for help through my soul family. The thoughts of returning home to God became very real, as my soul mission was fulfilled through God. Then I understood that this also was part of my awakening and changed my beliefs. I believe that those who believe in being an athesist will in time know that we are one with God's abundance for all of humanity. Blessings to all for a Merry Christmas.
