Timothy R. Butler<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.faithtree.social/@littlehillschurch" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>littlehillschurch</span></a></span> Hello again <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@Gustodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Gustodon</span></a></span>. To answer your question, several things could be said. I'll try to take the approach I think might be most helpful to your inquiry, but I'm always happy to have a good exploration of <a href="https://mastodon.faithtree.social/tags/faith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>faith</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.faithtree.social/tags/doubt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doubt</span></a> and such. I'm starting out with an oversimplified philosophical approach for the bones of conversation.</p><p>1.) As philosophers over time have asserted, it is good and reasonable to look for a <a href="https://mastodon.faithtree.social/tags/FirstCause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstCause</span></a>, etc. I deeply appreciate <a href="https://mastodon.faithtree.social/tags/ThomasAquinas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThomasAquinas</span></a>'s Five Ways.</p><p>2.) The question then is what sort of "<a href="https://mastodon.faithtree.social/tags/God" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>God</span></a>" fits the deity of #1. I think only a few of the things/people/entities people have worshipped or do worship could even possibly fit #1. (E.g. Zeus could not, because "he" was not first, etc.)</p><p>3.) Of that much reduced set, I believe a mix of historical points speak well of the God of the <a href="https://mastodon.faithtree.social/tags/Bible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bible</span></a>. This point could be expanded a lot.</p><p>4.) Archetypally, I believe the Bible speaks to things our psyche expects in the most complete way of the available options. C.S. Lewis wrote well on this following, as I do, some of the observations of Carl Jung.</p><p>5.) Evidentially, the Bible describes our world's fallen, broken condition in a way that conforms to objective observation. I've often said if I didn't think there was a God, I'd be a Theravada Buddhist. But because I affirm the things above, Christianity speaks to the same sort of "suffering" but with the hope of a solution beyond cessation of existence because of the existence of a personally relatable First Cause.</p><p>---</p><p>That's the rational answer. The personal answer is different, but coherently related. I believe I've encountered the living God and He is the one who has enabled me to believe, not the reverse.</p>

Wisdom in Space<p>I think that it's an honorable thing to change your mind occasionally. I don't think it's a sign of weakness or lack of integrity. I believe men are united by their doubts and separated by their convictions. Therefore, it's a very good thing to have doubts.

I am glad if you doubt. But you are not doubting. If you were really doubting, how could you ask me a question such as this, whether I am the result of Theosophical culture or not? Thought is not to be conditioned, shaped, yet I know that this is happening; but surely you cannot accept things as they are. You accept only when you are satisfied, contented. You do not accept when you are suffering. When you suffer you begin to question. So why should you not doubt? Have I not invited you from the beginning to examine, to challenge everything that I say, so that you will become intelligent, affectionate, human? Have you arrived at that intelligent understanding of life? I am asking you to question, to doubt, not only what I am saying, but also the past values and those in which you are now caught up.</p><p>Doubt brings about lasting understanding; doubt is not an end in itself. What is true is revealed only through doubt, through questioning the many illusions, traditional values, ideals. Are you doing that? If you know you are sincerely doing this, then you will also know the enduring significance of doubt. Are the mind and heart freeing themselves from possessiveness? If you are truly awakened to the wisdom of doubt, the instinct of acquisitiveness should be completely destroyed, for that instinct is the cause of much misery. In that there is no love, but only chaos, conflict, sorrow. If you truly doubt, you will perceive the falsity of the instinct of possession.</p><p>If you are critical, questioning, why do you cling to ceremonies? Now do not compare one ceremony with another in order to decide which is the better, but find out if ceremonies are worthwhile at all. If you say, "The ceremonies which I perform are very satisfying to me", then I have nothing more to say. Your statement merely shows that you do not know of doubt. You are only concerned with being satisfied. Ceremonies keep people apart, and each believer in them says, "Mine are the best. They have more spiritual power than others." This is what the members of every religion, of every religious sect or society maintain, and over these artificial distinctions there have been quarrels for generations. These ceremonies and such other thoughtless barriers have separated man from man.</p><p>May I say something else? If you doubt, that is, if you desire greatly to find out, you must let go of those things which you hold so dearly. There cannot be true understanding by keeping what you have. You cannot say, "I shall hold on to this prejudice, to this belief, to this ceremony, and at the same time I shall examine what you say." How can you? Such an attitude is not one of doubt; it is not one of intelligent criticism. It shows that you are merely looking for a substitute.</p><p>I am trying to help you to understand truly the completeness of life. I am not asking you to follow me. If you are satisfied with your life as it is, then continue it. But if you are not, then try what I am saying. Don't accept, but begin to be intelligently critical. To live completely you must be free from the perversions, the illusions in which you are held. To find out the lasting significance of ceremony, you must examine it critically, objectively, and to do this you must not be enticed into it, entangled in it. Surely this is obvious. Examine both the performance and the non-performance of ceremonies. Doubt, question, ponder over this profoundly. When you begin to relinquish the past, you will create conflict in yourself, and out of that conflict there must come action born of understanding. Now you are afraid to let go, because that act of relinquishment will bring turmoil; out of that act might come the decision that ceremonies are of no avail, which would go against your family, your friends, and your past assertions. There is fear behind all this, so you merely doubt intellectually. You are like the man who holds to all his possessions, to his ideas, his beliefs, his family, and yet talks about non-possession. His thought has nothing to do with his action. His life is hypocritical.</p><p>Please don't think that I am talking harshly; I am not. But neither am I going to be sentimental or emotional in order to rouse you to action. In fact, I am not interested in rousing you to action; you will rouse yourself to action when you understand. I am interested in showing you what is happening in the world. I want to awaken you to the cruelty, to the appalling oppression, exploitation, that is about you. Religion, politics, society are exploiting you, and you are being conditioned by them; you are being forced in a particular direction. You are not human beings; you are mere cogs in a machine. You suffer patiently, submitting to the cruelties of environment, when you, individually, have the possibilities of changing them.</p><p>Sirs, it is time to act. But action cannot take place through mere reasoning and discussions. Action takes place only when you feel intensely. True action takes place only when your thoughts and your feelings are harmoniously linked together. But you have divorced your feelings from your thoughts, because from their harmony, action must create conflict which you are unwilling to face. But I say, free yourself from the false values of society, of traditions; live completely, individually. By this I do not mean individualistically. When I talk about individuality, I mean by that the understanding of true values liberating you from the social, religious machine which is destroying you. To be truly individual, action must be born of creative intelligence, without fear, not caught up in illusion.</p><p>You can do this. You can live completely - not only you, but the people about you - when you become creatively intelligent. But now you are out to gain, ever seeking for power. You are driven by enticements, by beliefs, by substitutes. In this there is no happiness, in this there is no creative intelligence, in this there is no truth.</p>
