Citat:
To be a theist or an atheist, to me, are both absurd. If you knew what truth is, what God is, you would neither be a theist nor an atheist, because in that awareness belief is unnecessary. It is the man who is not aware, who only hopes and supposes, who looks to belief or to disbelief to support him, and to lead him to act in a particular way.
Now, if you approach it quite differently, you will find out for yourselves, as individuals, something real that is beyond all the limitations of beliefs, beyond the illusion of words. But that, the discovery of truth, or God, demands great intelligence, which is not assertion of belief or disbelief, but the recognition of the hindrances created by lack of intelligence. So to discover God or truth -and I say such a thing does exist, I have realized it- to recognize that, to realize that, the mind must be free of all the hindrances which have been created throughout the ages, based on self-protection and security.
-Jiddu Krishnamurti

Citat:
The word God has become empty of meaning through thousands of years of misuse. I use it sometimes, but I do so sparingly. By misuse, I mean that people who have never even glimpsed the realm of the sacred, the infinite vastness behind that word, use it with great conviction, as if they knew what they are talking about. Or they argue against it, as if they knew what it is that they are denying. This misuse gives rise to absurd beliefs, assertions, and egoic delusions, such as "My or our God is the only true God, and your God is false," or Nietzsche's famous statement "God is dead."
-Eckhart Tolle
-Eckhart Tolle
Gud är inget som kan bevisas, Gud är något som kan upplevas. Eckhart Tolle och Jiddu Krishnamurti talar om något bortom vårt vanliga medvetande med djup intuition och visdom. Dessa gubbar vet onekligen vad de talar om. Gud är synonymt med helighet och frihet som de talar om gång på gång. Man kanske inte vill tro på Gud, men om man tror att frihet och andra heliga kvaliteter inte existerar så är man bara en trångsynt person som vägrar utforska livet. De är nöjda med mänskligt lidande, så de har ingen auktoritet att neka Guds existens. Bara någon som har gått bortom lidande och nått fihet, lycka och kärlek kan yttra sig om Gud.
Finns det någon ateist här som ens vet något fundamentalt om livet? Har de ens visdom? Vilka är dom att säga att Gud inte finns när de inte ens kan något om livet?
