Stillness is not emptiness. It is where the noise of fear, ego, and striving begins to fall away, and the Presence of God becomes recognizable. This essay explores how turning inward, becoming quiet, and listening deeply can reveal the Divine already living at the core of your being.
I’m not denying the inward experience, I’m questioning the system built around it. Because if something as fundamental as God exists, it shouldn’t depend on religion especially when religion often creates more division than understanding.
Wonderfully written! “But because it was given to them before they could question it” especially love this sentence because it truly is the entire thesis of why religion pervades still to this day
you worded everything so well, and it makes me so sad that religion as a concept could be really something beautful, something that could bring a aim of life to someone, yet is using against all of us and at the same time many people dont realise that yet so thats great you speak about this 🙏🙏🤍

This topic definitely deserves open and respectful discussion.
This is a complex topic, but you explained it in a clear way.
Religion has brought both comfort and conflict in human history.
A lot of important points here about how religion shapes society.
This is so true and well written.
