Spirituality requires no belief at all

Reply to a buddy on facebook regarding my post on beliefs.

I didn’t say beliefs were bad, I just said they have very little value in the world of health.

Having beliefs is fine. The challenge comes when your beliefs have you.

And regarding spirituality…

Spirituality requires no belief at all. Religion requires belief. But spirituality requires experience.

Do you believe that the fire is hot? No, of course not. You know it is. You don’t need to believe it is hot. You just put your had close to it and you know for sure.

In the same way when you experience stillness, consciousness and the present moment, you know their true power. They don’t require any belief what-so-ever.

Belief is only required in situations where we have not had first had experience.

If you have first hand experience you KNOW. You don’t believe.
