![]() A human being beyond simple consciousness has two eternal properties, the first is the divine spark of reason, and the second is pure emotional energy, as all states of consciousness are emotional patterns or resonances. This physical creation has been manifest instant by instant as a metaphoric swimming pool, and the task of life in this reality is to learn to swim, if you fail this task you are trapped in a constrictive place, a self-imposed nothingness of reality, until you learn, when achieved you can swim to freedom (metaphorically). So reason is the gift, and how few use it, with reason we should form firm belief; a belief is a shepherd of your emotional energy. To form a false belief is a Shirk, a term that means ‘mixing’ in the sense of mixing truth and falsehood which results in confusion, metaphorically this mixing will make you drown when released from the training pool, into the ocean of true reality, so your shepherds are a vital aspect of this life. A wrong belief does nothing to the Creator, but it is devastating to the individual holding on to this sinking stone. So a Shirk acts like a sinking stone, it pulls you down, and only the divine spark of reason can make you unchain yourself from this burdensome stone. The ocean of deep reality we die into, has absolute purity of truth, outside of humanities energy form, not a single lie exists within its infinite knowledge. So to carry a false belief makes it impossible to enter the ocean, this understanding makes it clear why children pass straight into the ocean and escape a self imposed mental purgatory, they carry no false beliefs within them, they are pure in thought and deed, they are not indoctrinated with the confusion of the world. It would be reasonable to suppose this would result in them being immature, and so far slower in the development of their emotional evolution, as this manifestation of reality has been fashioned for the sole purpose of training your emotional energy, through the creation of shepherds (beliefs) formed through reason. So the acceptance of falsehood, from any, and all religion, all equally worthless, or from social indoctrinations, or from historical family beliefs pasted down without investigation, makes you a non-believer in truth, and these shirks (mixture of truths and falsehoods), or false shepherds will spell your ultimate misery.
