Recently, I was in Phuket and I witnessed a big conflagrationof people yelling at each other in the street in front of my Phuket hotel. I didn’t want to go outside because it seemed like they might become violent. I asked some people standing around in the lobby looking at the same conflagration as I and asked them if they knew what was happening. One person told me what was happening outside was a religious fight. Apparently, there were two different religious sects outside, battling it out, verbally, about which religion was the correct religious and that the other religion was blasphemous and evil. Another person in the lobby responded by saying which religious is the correct religion. Then, things started getting heavy in the lobby, everyone was piping in about their own opinion.

I decided to go outside and enjoy my stay in Phuket by doing what I planned to do that day despite all the angry people outside. I personally have peace. Not natural peace that comes and goes, but a deep sense of being absolutely worry free. I find that I can not have faith and worry at the same time. I have a clean conscience which means I do not have to carry a heavy load of awareness of my wrong doings on my head. I know I’m forgiven and that I’m constantly forgiving. I have purpose. Not only is my life good, but I know my future will also be good. I have a sense of wholeness and nothing is missing. I feel complete and do not have to search. That is why I’m never offended when people attack my beliefs. Even if they burn my spiritual books or curse at me, I’m not offended. Truth cannot be damaged by attacks, either physical or emotional. Truth does not need defending, it speaks for itself. Truth is embedded in our conscience. I find people who want to debate or argue about which religion is right will come to know the conclusion, and if they do come to a conclusion, it will be a biased view, and usually based on which religion they were born into. Obviously, they were born into the right one and everyone else was born into the wrong one.
