I know it’s a big bomb to drop like this, but after reading many scriptures and finding all arrows point to this idea; I’m troubled.
All holy scriptures talk about service to “the All”, and it makes sense when you put it nicely, and it’s even lovely. However, not having any other fulfilling alternative is the part that spoils the whole thing. I rather create and serve because I want to do it, not because some higher force is telling me to.
While appreciating the “guidance”, it feels a lot like “domination” when the alternative is karma and continuous reincarnation until we submit to “the program”. After reading Bhagavad Gita -which is marvelous- and other popular scriptures, I now understand much better what the Matrix movie is based on.
What does it mean to be a servitor of creation? What would be the “responsibilities” of a servitor? How much freedom do we really have?
How could one blame the rebels if all they seek is just self freedom?
Now, all that being said, if we’re extensions of God’s mind, I can’t blame it for seeking harmony within its own mind. Yet, I still question what would be the parameters of such a vision.
Of course, I’d love to hear @Charlie.0’s perspective on this, but I hesitate that he may prefer not to comment because once I read him saying he didn’t want to oppose/attack anyone’s beliefs.
FYI, all DMs are welcome.
