how is it to be a non-believer?

[Patang]

some people cannot grasp how it is to be a non-believer. how one can destroy his private human belief system completely and becomes a non-believer. well, this is not easy, but surely can be done. 

you see, the human belief system helps you to predict the future (the short term is much more accurate from the long term), it uses the concept of causality to explain to you, how and why things happen the way they do. 

when living in the now, in the precise moment when reality is perceived, not before or after, and nothing is taken for granted, you know that everything can happen next in reality, in the infinite field of possibilities, not knowing what it would be. you can look back at the preceding events and try to realize why this one happened, but you can never look ahead, and predict the future events, even the simpler ones. the past only stores information and the future does not exists.

@Patang I love this post! Thanks. Only thing I’d suggest, is that the past doesn’t store information. That’s a thought. I mean this in the sense of achknowledging that is a thought, aligns more with, overall, what you’re saying here. It’s just lovely. Thank you again. ❤️

@Nahm you're welcome and i'm glad you loved it. and yes, the information from the past is retrieved as a thought, it cannot be perceived otherwise.
