Insanity, why people deny Spirituality

[Santiago Ram]

I have a theory that atheists and people who deny spirituality are simply shit scared of going insane.

Fear of insanity is what makes these people intolerant to spirituality in general.

Look,' you are God', mind-universe and non-materialism are wacky ideas. People just throw God into the psychotic basket because they are afraid of losing their minds. If you meet one of these hard-core atheists, you will probably encounter fear of mental illness in their speech or worldview.

Their neurosis and rational justifications are just defense mechanisms they use to mantain and justify sanity.

Spiritual people tend towards psychosis. Even religious people are a bit crazy.

That is why Stigma against Mental Illness is so dangerous.

Some are for sure, you can see the streamer Destiny is like that. He saw God and then got scared and now is very terrified of schizophrenic and mentally ill people. His mother is mentally ill and he can see it coming but is ignoring it. This will have the opposite effect on him than he intends. By ignoring truth you actually go insane but not consciously. However this pretty much applies to intelligent people seeking the truth, they hit a point in seeking, like metaphysics and then stop because it unravels everything they think they know. 

Most dont know and are just terrified about the thought of death imo.

In order to not think about dying you have to think about something else the mind will point to it everytime you rest. This makes most people stuck in logical loops because of the fear that they stop one day. Its what being 'asleep' means, survival mode. They cant think about dying because that will automatically trigger a fear response that they know they are dreaming. So they give their life to logic and words because they have to to not think about that big ? their brain will automatically point to if they stop. Its why we are alive.

Egos are afraid of truth because it would demolish their reality. They are afraid of true sanity

People are not denying Spirituality another choice was made. This in Infinity and all sorts of situations and circumstances and all sorts of people exists. There's doesn't have to be a true reason why such and such is happening. We make all that shit up to try and make sense of the world. Imagine if EVERYONE was into Spirituality, where would the diversity of the Absolute fit in. We tend to want everyone to be like us and when they're not, we concoct up some reason why they're not. Some people are not into Spirituality simply because they're not. It's that simple. No complications needed.
