Confusion - What do we really KNOW?

In this post, I’m going to try and separate what I know from speculations. I’m not asking you to take my word for anything. But I encourage you to look into it for yourself. Seek out information. Meditate on it. Pray about it. 

So, what do I know really? I absolutely know that what we are seeing with the whole situation that has been going on the past 2.5 years and what we’re seeing with Russia and Ukraine, have spiritual reasons behind them. Take it for what you will. I’m not saying that I will never suffer from what is happening in the world. But what I do know, is that the only answers to the crisis are spiritual ones. I’m not looking for the ego-gratification of convincing anyone that I am right. I’m not interested in debating or who has the best arguments. The only thing I’m interested in, is speaking what I know to be true to anyone that listens. To shine some light in the darkness, maybe bring someone a little bit of hope and relieve some suffering. And if no one listens, I’ll keep on talking anyway. 

During my life, I guess I have been a seeker. Now I’ve found something, but I’m not sure exactly what. There are a lot of people out there that are confident in their explanations of what is going on. Perhaps some of them are right. All I know is that I’m not one of those people and that I haven’t found sufficient reasons to fully trust any of them. And I have even less reason to trust the official “truths” about what is going on. I can be more or less certain that they are untrue. 

So, I’m to a large degree as confused as most people. I wish that I could be as certain as many others seem to be. At the same time, I don’t believe that uncertainty is a negative thing. It’s a scary place be in. But not a bad one. And since many of those that are certain hold contradictory views to each other, all of them cannot be right. And my guess is, that someone who is very sure of him/herself, would generally be much more uncomfortable being thrown into uncertainty, than someone already living there. 

What more do I know? Well, I know that there is a God and that this God is personal. I know this because this God has made his existence known to me and many other people in different ways. I also know that everything that happens, both to us as individuals and on a collective level, has reasons behind it, even if those reasons to a large degree are shrouded in darkness. I know that there is some sort of plan. That what is happening now is not just random events that can end up in any way. 

I know that the world is much more than what can be perceived with the five senses. Exactly what, I don’t know. But I know that there is some sort of energetic reality, that somehow corresponds with the one that we can experience with the five senses. 

Finally, I know that we are being fed lies about how the world works, politics and the systems that we live in. That we are being fed these lies by the establishment, whether it is by the mass media, politicians, other public figures or the education system. How deep the proverbial rabbit hole goes, I don’t know. But where I stand today, I’m prepared to keep an open mind even towards the most crazy, far out ideas about how things really work. Because I believe that I have been given sufficient reason to doubt more or less everything that I have been told is “true”.
