The belief in God is not the belief in God if God does not exist.
It is merely, then, the adherence of a truly limitless consciousness channeled from within the right brain to a structure of false limitations within the left brain.
This consciousness is not dependent on the body for survival and therefore carries with it an individual's sense of the eternal. It is characterized by its undefinable presence and its stewardship of subjective input.
An atheist may call this their humanity, ability to appreciate art, or a roaring success for natural selection's foray into complexity, which are all true.
If the left brain is possessed by an ego, as almost all are, its momentum of definition may necessitate that this limitless consciousness be split into the diametrical limitations of 'God' and 'self,' followed by a reconciliation of their respective transcendent characteristics:
- The 'self' label would assume the characteristics of the 'steward of input' and become synonymous with the 'soul' label.
- The 'God' label would assume the characteristics of the undefinable presence and be expected to judge the 'soul' according to its stewardship of input upon the body's final deterioration.
Ironically, the mind then attributes mysterious phenomena to acts of 'God' while they are in fact just distant extensions of the very consciousness observing them.
The mind's ability to ask questions it is not capable of answering naturally submits it to manipulation from authoritative figures which become analogous to 'God' and effortlessly turn an individual's fear of death and the unknown into a method of control. The authorities are equally as possessed by their egos, however, and reflect this disproportion in their manipulation of reality beyond their familiarity with the consequences.
One alternative to letting mystery be distilled by authority is to become comfortable with it first hand. An individual's 'personal God' can be derived directly from the natural environment as I have exemplified in my previous post, The Boddhi Tree is a Schedule One Controlled Substance.
This paradoxical era of illusory separateness is analogous to Christ's three days in 'hell' and will probably end once the human brain is reverse engineered.
