Healthy Empowering Metaphysical Beliefs

[mmKay]

I put this post on the Personal development section on purpose. This is not about actual Truth ir some other relative truths.

Let's talk for a moment about what is convenient for you to hold in your mind for Survival. Let's not go totally brainwashed selfish mode ( which may as well be discussed as a thought experiment) 

Share some cozy comforting beliefs to turn to when you're on a low point in this sometimes brutal existence.

 

Let's say you are fortunate enough to have the luxury of being confused about reality and not having your mind be absolutely locked up in dogma from the get-go.

 

Now your brain can't take staying open minded for much longer. Life is tough and you feel you could use a cute holy text to submit your authority to, but Religion doesn't cut it for you.

 

You may have some beliefs about what life is or you may have had some actual mystical experiences that gave you a glimpse of something you that just left you more confused.

 

Life is tough and all this spiritual work has taken a toll on your human life. You find this pursuit counter productive for building yourself up.

 

Question for YOU :

What are some decent day to day and bigger picture beliefs to hold  that aren't too far fetched?

What would be theoretically convenient good ideas to brainwash yourself in?

I find that what you believe happens after death is extremely influential on your motivation.

What if you believed that your next encarnation may be orders of magnitude worse than this one? Would it make you more grateful for your current life? What if you had no limbs in your next life? What if you were born as a Zebra in the Savannah? What if you were born as a slave in Ancient Egypt?

Your imagination is the limit with this one.

What if you believed that you as a Soul or Consciousness , have chosen this exact life for very precise reasons?

What if this existence is designed so that you have the chance to learn and experience very specific parts of reality?

What if Reality is Absolutely PERFECT but you need a higher intelligence to appreciate it?

What if you don't learn the lessons of this encarnation, you will infinitely keep facing them untill you manage to wise up?

 

What if you are God? What does this mean for your human life? How does this affect how resourceful you are? How does this affect how much you embrace the chaos of existence?

Do you struggle with kindness? What if you believed that you and others are ONE, and whatever good you do matters, because you will one day experience it being done to yourself from the other side?

 

 

Doesn't have to be that woo-woo. You can go simpler:

 

The single reason for your existence is to experience how awesome you manage to make your life.

 

Or that this existence is a test to see how much you manage to develop yourself. That every challenge is on purpose.

What if you were absolutely sold on the idea that if you follow your heart you are absolutely bound to success?

That is actually one of the metaphysical teachings, principles of life that is found in every holy scripture in every religion. Testing this dharma with your own skin is the where the challenge is

What if the creator of motherf**king EXISTENCE was looking through your eyes right now carefully observing this chimp being that you are like a scientist in a lab? In the most immersive way possible, with the purpose of doing as accurate ontological science as possible?
