What do you believe? Have you ever really thought about your beliefs, where they originated, how they were formed? This book looks at how religion penetrates daily life and impacts the decisions we make. Most of us are unaware of the degree of control religion has over our lives, both secular and non-secular. We don’t realize the extent we are mired down into thousands of years of conditioned thinking. This book challenges you to examine and break free of centuries of conditioned belief systems and prejudices that are endangering our world and limiting our capacity to enjoy life in all its richness and beauty.
Coral Sterling believes it is time to explore and re-evaluate what our beliefs are and that we need to do this if we want to see positive changes in our world. She explores many beliefs and points out what she believes are the ones that are causing the most turmoil in this world. Religion teaches us not to question and let faith rule our minds. Secular society has taught us that logic (mind) should be used instead. The problem is we haven’t found much meaning in just focusing on logic and we jeopardize our world when we totally use blind faith. Perhaps the answer is a balance between the two. The middle ground where mind and heart can meet is a place where problems can be resolved. Finding that balance is always the challenge, but if each individual takes on this challenge, we can see progress. Re-evaluating our beliefs is something only we can do for ourselves. Can we find that much needed balance? |
