I am trying to gain the world. I am trying to belong. I am trying to fit in the society's own mold without realizing the impermanence of it all. I should try to gain the portal to the pureland, to the heavenly paradise, to the place of the Creator. I just have realized that the only way for me to measure my spiritual wisdom is through attaining enlightenment. I can say that I am not enlightened yet because I am trying to find a place in society which is a sign of delusion. Or maybe I should find a soul tribe or spiritual group of people who will help me in my spiritual journey. Or maybe if I truly believe in the Lord God, if I truly surrender my life to Him, then why am I still desperate about what my life would be in this world. This means that my faith is not as strong just as I think it was. I need to rebuild my self and create a strong foundation of faith but it won't be truly difficult if I truly trust in the Lord. This is a realization that hit me right now. I was thinking about the glory and success in the world. What if I am rich, happily married, living a stable life but still I still don't know the real meaning of life. I want to tell you that life does not end here. Yes, you read that correctly. There's afterlife and I'm not being imaginative but there is really a different realm that only a few can enter.

Any kind of spirituality is just a human made thing trying to understand the reason in live and this universe... It's something we humans can't understand and it's scaring us. We are searching for an explanation and purpose of our existance in spirituality. But we created what we call spirituality by ourselfes, it's something from our own imagination. At the end we don't know anything. 🤔 This maybe sounds stupid but I think the best way to face it is just seing life like a game and having a deep trust in the harmony of the universe.
I understand your point and I won't say it's wrong or disprove it. But I believe in afterlife. It's hard for us human to understand that because it's beyond what we can see and understand. The best example for this is the ants working hard creating their colony while we human are busy watching them working together to gather food. They don't notice or perceive us even we are watching them closely simply because they cannot conceptualise humans or any discreet entities. They are limited in their own capabilities thus making them unaware that there are human watching them. The same is true with the existence of God and afterlife, we will never understand or see, or perceive them.
I understand your analogy! It's true. The existence of God and afterlife is nothing we understand. Even the "term" god is human made and a describtion of something we don't understand and see. Maybe there is even something bigger than afterlife which we don't even understand because our imagination can't even reach to that. Trying to understand the universe will drive us crazy because it's too much to handle for our small brains... But that's why it's important never to invalidate peoples believes. Because we can't disprove. The only thing we can do is to believe. 😁
