Insanity, why people deny Spirituality

[Santiago Ram]

I have a theory that atheists and people who deny spirituality are simply shit scared of going insane.

Fear of insanity is what makes these people intolerant to spirituality in general.

Look,' you are God', mind-universe and non-materialism are wacky ideas. People just throw God into the psychotic basket because they are afraid of losing their minds. If you meet one of these hard-core atheists, you will probably encounter fear of mental illness in their speech or worldview.

Psychosis or Spiritual Awakening: Phil Borges at TEDxUMKC - YouTube

Their neurosis and rational justifications are just defense mechanisms they use to mantain and justify sanity.

Spiritual people tend towards psychosis. Even religious people are a bit crazy.

That is why Stigma against Mental Illness is so dangerous.

Some are for sure, you can see the streamer Destiny is like that. He saw God and then got scared and now is very terrified of schizophrenic and mentally ill people. His mother is mentally ill and he can see it coming but is ignoring it. This will have the opposite effect on him than he intends. By ignoring truth you actually go insane but not consciously. However this pretty much applies to intelligent people seeking the truth, they hit a point in seeking, like metaphysics and then stop because it unravels everything they think they know. 

Most dont know and are just terrified about the thought of death imo.

In order to not think about dying you have to think about something else the mind will point to it everytime you rest. This makes most people stuck in logical loops because of the fear that they stop one day. Its what being 'asleep' means, survival mode. They cant think about dying because that will automatically trigger a fear response that they know they are dreaming. So they give their life to logic and words because they have to to not think about that big ? their brain will automatically point to if they stop. Its why we are alive.

I have noticed that there are people in my life that hate to look at me, just because I have different values and live different life than most of the people.

People don't want their beliefs changed. If they believe in the American dream lifestyle, they would hate to learn that they have to meditate daily, start valuing the truth of life and spend a lot of time seeking than just having a good carrier, family, house and good status in the society. It will not fulfill them. Deep down they know it, but they rather be depressed for decades than accept the values of someone they hate.

I can feel the projection "What kind of a man am I, why I am also not married etc.etc."

Well, I am that kind of a man who cultivates deep acceptance of my circumstances and seeks the wellbeing and truth wherever it is and will not settle with comfortable ideas everyone around me accepts.

Deep down I can have absolutely nothing and be fulfilled. It's hard for me to accept, but it's the truth.

The hatred lasts until they reform and find some way to reflect that suits for them.

Why people deny spirituality?

It's aginst their belief system;

It's corrupted;

It's unpopular and misunderestood in it's purest forms;

Pursuit of spirituality will take most of your time and life.

The people who are up the pyramid in society don't want you to be spiritual. Because then you will come up with an alternative as to how people should be governed.

Egos are afraid of truth because it would demolish their reality. They are afraid of true sanity

People are not denying Spirituality another choice was made. This in Infinity and all sorts of situations and circumstances and all sorts of people exists. There's doesn't have to be a true reason why such and such is happening. We make all that shit up to try and make sense of the world. Imagine if EVERYONE was into Spirituality, where would the diversity of the Absolute fit in. We tend to want everyone to be like us and when they're not, we concoct up some reason why they're not. Some people are not into Spirituality simply because they're not. It's that simple. No complications needed.
