Thank you very much for this. :-) It demonstrates the eternal vigilance to hold to our sincerity and doubt to assure both the personal and the impersonal Ishvara are more fully reflected in our thoughts, words and deeds and our attention is focused on that Ishvara so that our efforts, socially expressed, do not deteriorate into the very antithesis of progressing toward subtler realms and the probable desideratum of all life in the universe.
Many atheists constitute some of the most magnanimous hearts and minds I've ever met. Further forensics into the lives of atheists and the continuum of atheism in the myriad lives of each person who subscribes to it will demonstrate that a period of atheism in their lifetime, for many believers of nonbelief, will show that such periods are as fasting from the extroversive ostentations that have gone astray and substituted for true spiritual experience, often substituting regressive, oppressive, suppressive and repressive impostoring imitations of spirituality in the sanctimonious theater of religiosity while camouflaging predatious psycho-social cannibalizations of humanity. While myopic minds and Muladhariis the world over may belligerently bark their minimitis towards their perceived ideological adversaries, the universe is a singular whole complete within itself with truths, satya, that pervade all things. Moments of atheism in the evolution of beings is just an exercise in discipline in pursuit of that same satya to hold fast to their heart of sincerity and veracity. Even for those of us who trust in, if not certain of a singularity pervading the universe, and for those of us who have actually experienced samadhi and know the answer for sure, we must respect the sincerity of these atheists and the driving force they provide to keep society true and on track towards more sublime thresholds of evolutionary excellence for humanity and the world at large. *You are never alone or helpless;* *the force the guides the stars guides you too.* This message set at 60 spaces across for better forwarding.
