dont take this as any preaching, I am super lost myself in life and in no position to lead anyone. This is my first ever spiritual experience so i thought i would share. Every thing i say is just how i interpret god for myself, but the concept is different for everyone
I have been led by great men. My father, My brother, My friends, and my idols have always kept me level headed, humble, disciplined and pushed me into the right direction. Now that I have been away from home and isolated for almost a year I have a deeper understanding of this.
I think it is impossible for men to become great without proper guidance. Modern society is making us weak. young guys (like myself) are being guided by social media, propaganda, and most importantly we have no purpose. Why does it seem like there are less great men? Society doesnt create them, according to society they are useless In previous generations men needed to fight, provide, and compete; they needed to be strong. We built and raised people to be strong in the past, but now we are building them to be weak. We are so afraid of suffering that many people find it easier to change the world than to change themselves.
I see many guys who get stepped on. manipulated by females, and so lost in life. It makes perfect sense; we are guided my social media and influenced by false prophets.
I never been religious but recently I was thinking about spirituality. God is the embodiement of purpose and guidance. I never needed a god so i rejected him, since I never lacked purpose and always had people to guide me. God is hope and love, assurance that you can succeed and will be loved no matter how many times you fail. Its why people find god when they need him the most. Its also why atheism is climbing, we feel like we dont need purpose and guidance anymore.
After rock bottom, I too have accepted the concept of god. To worship the embodiement of the values I want myself to have, and to believe and have hope in myself. I accept that I am weak and need guidance, the world is dangerous and full of sin. I accept that I need to devote myself to a higher power, and submit to that to guide me.
The god I have chosen to represent my virtues is helios. Not because I believe he exists in the traditional sense, but he is the closest interpretation of the god i want to lead me. As a man without much knowledge, its easiest for me to approach it like this. By chosing to worship helios I chose to follow the great men of rhodes and be led in the same way, and to be part of something bigger. I feel we created the traditional concept of GOD to form communities, spread our message and to love each other, and help other people realise it aswell.
In the end there is no "god". God is an abstract concept, and accepting that you will be guided and given purpose by something bigger. By worshipping helios I am not worshipping helios, I am worshipping myself. Worshipping the part of me which I visualize as a god (since I accepted that part of me to lead me). God is in each and every one of us. God loves us and keeps us safe, he builds us up and gives us purpose.
I think each and every god is real. did jesus really die on the cross for us? did helios ride in a golden chariot? Does it matter? The love, community, belonging and hope they have given is testimony to the fact that they exist. I love you and respect all your religions :)
