God is Reality, and the converse is equally true—Reality is God. Viewing Him as Reality strips away religious fluff. I cannot complain that He doesn’t grant me magical powers. If I desire miracles, I’m yearning for something unreal, something outside Reality, which puts me at odds with God and His rules. I believe self-healing capabilities, like the placebo effect, exist in everyone. However, phenomena such as regrowing limbs or returning from death do not. The idea of bodily resurrection stems from a misunderstanding of being "reborn." Jesus spoke of spiritual rebirth, not literal resurrection. Yet, rumors of miracles can persuade people to believe in a powerful God.
The Holy Spirit is Reason—holy Reason—the source of a rational life and its virtues: wisdom, prudence, and more. It empowers us to transcend our automated, instinctive nature. The intellect’s logic can offer insight into what is right but lacks the power to live accordingly. Intellect is passive; everything depends on who rules—Reality’s Reason or the animalistic, irrational soul.
Angels are the laws of nature and instincts - unreasoning programs tasked with guiding God’s creation.
The soul is life itself, particularly animal life, life of our bodies.
Jesus—Yeshua—had human parents. Later, he was "reborn," guided by the Holy Spirit (Reason). He remains misunderstood. Chosen by God as a vessel for divine Reason. It was God’s Reason that spoke and taught his disciples and the crowds. The prophecy of his death wasn’t God’s plan to kill him—it was a prediction that people would. This wasn’t hard to foresee, as explained in the parable of the vineyard workers and the Owner: all God’s messengers were at risk. Jesus’ willingness to accept unjust punishment revealed his unity with God (Reality). There was no pretense in him. Had he escaped, Christianity and its moral values might not exist.
Satan is an instinctive program, likely tied to reproduction or mammalian social behavior in general. Its role is to guide creatures incapable of rational understanding, manipulating them through pleasure, pain, insecurity, fear, the anticipation of joy, the desire to belong to a certain group, and so on.
The Bible is a mix of treasure (words inspired by God), tales, rumors, and opinions.
The Trinity is a Greek philosophical invention, crafted to explain why a mighty God allowed His son to die, how the son of Mary and Joseph could be divine, and what it means to be one with God.
Sin - is undermining God’s design for us to be reasonable. When people follow unreasonable instincts, thinking they’re doing what they want, they’re merely being tricked by instincts that cannot comprehend Reality. It’s a sad situation. Instincts exist to guide animals, which lack the ability to understand what to do. Instead, animals feel and desire what is necessary to survive and reproduce. The human brain and our society are far more complex. We are designed for a more advanced form of guidance—Reason. From an evolutionary perspective, it would be foolish to ignore newly developed organs, like eyes, and rely solely on touch to navigate our surroundings. Yet, we do this with Reason. Many say, “Nah, I’m fine with my reactive nature, as long as I can feel pleasure and satisfaction”—an unspoken excuse for humans.
Falling from Grace occurs when people reject God’s Spirit—Reality’s Reason—and choose instincts (Satan) as their guide. Instincts are more pleasurable and easier to follow; they urge us to act on feelings and desires.
Resurrection is returning to God’s original design for humanity: reasonable Homo sapiens. This is possible only with God’s help. I’ve tried using my own will to reject feelings and desires to be spiritually alive, but it never worked. Intellectual understanding alone is insufficient. Something mystical happens when I surrender to God, whether I see Him as the Judeo-Christian God or as Reality. The result is in the same center. Praying to the biblical God requires seeing Him as Reality, and appealing to Reality demands recognizing It as alive and reasonable. We cannot open our hearts to a rock or a cat. The best way to find God as Reality is to seek serious, silent Wisdom in the present moment. When I pray to the biblical God, it’s the same: reasonable, silent Wisdom in the present moment.
The future: Because God is Reality, He might has many projects in the Universe. We must be serious—humanity could vanish! The goal is humanity’s survival into infinity, achievable through God’s wisdom and our unity with Him, living in Reality and guided by Reason. We must focus on future generations. Imagine we are ants: to survive a flood, we need only preserve a few workers, some eggs, a queen, or potential queens with males, not everyone. Thus, we must define the rules and clear choice —live by Reason or follow instinct-driven desires. People can choose without force or shame. Those who hear Reality’s voice and embrace Reason will continue to have children and grow. Others may choose abortion, self pleasure, or relationships with AI and robots, fading away. Culture is key. A reasonable culture will help God’s children thrive—healthy, successful, and happy. This happiness stems from the simple joy of being alive, from curiosity, and from the freedom to create.
Righteousness is a reasonable state of existence, flowing from Holy Reason. Impossible to be righteous by effort, acting like righteous do, guiding yourself by laws and stereotypes. A righteous life is one guided by Reason (the Holy Spirit)—this is what it means to be truly alive. Our body has automatic mechanisms regulating its processes, signaling its needs directly or indirectly. These signals from the body are not Satan’s strings. The devil’s work is to control response behavior. When we feel hunger, we can respond with Reason or instincts. With Reason, we maintain control. With instincts, feelings and desires manipulate us. Even if we resist acting on desires due to laws or expected consequences, we still identify ourselves with those feelings, restricting ourselves. When we align with Reason, we sense hunger and other signals, where we are stewards of our bodies, not a body. Identifying yourself as a body means to be a slave of unreasonable, instinctive mechanisms - autopilot.
Afterlife: I don’t believe in an afterlife—not out of resistance, but because I don’t know. I prefer simplicity in my opinions. I haven’t seen evidence of a human afterlife in God’s Reality. He hasn’t promised or revealed it to me. It might exist, and I won’t argue against it, but God hasn’t shown it to me. I accept what I’ve been given: I will die and disappear. This doesn’t trouble me. My priority isn’t to dream of what lies beyond Reality. I am God’s “ant.” Who am I to desire what isn’t real? I’m calm about it. I’ve noticed that sinful flesh craves eternal pleasure, but God’s Reason does not.
