Believe Perceive book

A writing of mine, Believe Perceive: Why You Are The Problem… And The Solution has been published. I think it’s a valuable work and naturally I would say that, but I mean it genuinely. I was compelled to write Believe Perceive because I wanted to share a life help approach that I believe is useful and that I also believe is based on true spiritual principles. The most significant of these principles, perhaps, is this: God is the only power and only good. This is a questionable perspective for different reasons but certainly one reason is that our experiences don’t align with God as the only power — not a power among other powers but the only power — and only good. If God was the only power and only good then we should be experiencing something like a heaven state. Shouldn’t we? Wouldn’t God, particularly if God is only good, create a heavenly environment? Well for most of us, if not all of us, our life experience is not heaven. In fact life is more like hell than heaven for a lot of people. How then are people expected to believe that God is the only power and only good?

It comes down, significantly, to faith. We do choose what we have faith in and almost everyone has great faith in their perceptions… more faith in their perceptions than they have in a concept of God as the only power and only good. I’m not attempting to criticize this tendency, it’s understandable: perceptions, what we experience and what our thinking mind judgments tell us, are very compelling, they are very believable; and most people wouldn’t think to question perceptions to begin with, it wouldn’t even occur to them. Why would it occur to the average person to question their perceptions? It wouldn’t occur to the average person but it would occur to someone who is exposed to the concept of God as the only power and only good, because this concept is directly contradicted by perceptions. Observe your perceptions, observe your worldly experiences and your thinking mind judgments, and see just how often they contradict the concept of God as the only power and only good. It is not possible to accept perceptions at face value, to accept them as truth, and to also believe in God as the only power and only good; if we are open to the concept of God as the only power and only good then we must begin to question perceptions. Conversely, if we have full faith in our perceptions then we will never genuinely embrace the concept of God as the only power and only good.

Believe Perceive does have faith in the concept of God as the only power and only good and explains why — it’s an explanation, it’s not an attempt to persuade. Then, for those who feel some connection to the explanation provided, it goes on to describe how we can apply God as the only power and only good in a life help approach (what I refer to as spiritual life help). I don’t anticipate that Believe Perceive will reach a wide audience, relatively speaking, because God as the only power and only good is an unusual perspective and questioning perceptions is certainly unusual; and I think most people would reject one or both of those perspectives if they ever became aware of them. But there are some, and perhaps it’s relatively just a few, who would connect with the teaching and would find value in it, and would be helped by it. Maybe they will find this teaching sooner and maybe they’ll find it later but I do believe those who are meant to know this teaching will, eventually, know it.
