Spirituality

I woke up from a bad dream yesterday morning. It put me in a bad mood. I woke up depressed and anxious. Pondera is great for blipping out little in-the-moment emotions, but the deeply rooted ones are a little harder to penetrate.

I remember being spiritual years ago. I've sought spirituality for a long time, though not really as much since I started following the path of science and reason. Still, I remembered the feeling that I would get in spiritual situations. Christians often refer to it as 'feeling the holy spirit'. I believe that every religion has their own version of that state of mind.

By the definition of pondera, if you can feel something through religious experience, then you should be able to reproduce it with pondera. So I wanted to give it a try, and see if I could reproduce those spiritual feelings of peace and comfort. The problem is that pondera is controlling one's state of belief, and if I refuse to believe in things unverified, then how am I to reproduce feelings that were generated by believing in something unverified?

The answer was simply believing in myself. I could focus on the fact that any mental state that I'd reached before was possible with a simple switch in state of mind. Also, I could simply believe in my own ability to be peaceful, and happy, and all those things that you feel when you're 'in the presence of jesus'.

Again, I hope I'm not offending anyone with this. I'm not saying anything about god or jesus, I'm only exploring our own limits as humans.
