The more I practice continence, the more I start to believe in a higher power. Somehow religion and spirituality becomes more appealing to me. Why? There are times when I feel like there’s a higher power. Like this morning. I relapsed yesterday, and I knew I was going to feel like shit for at least the next two weeks. So I thought “I’m sorry. Help me be better” and felt better. Not right away though. After some time when I felt better I remembered what I thought before. Was I praying? Did it work? I’m afraid I shoudn’t doubt though I have some.
Can Atheism be a result of self-gratification? Will people start to belive in a higher power if they practice continence? I don’t like to say continence though because its’ incomplete. We have to free our minds from sensual fixation too. That’s when lot of the sign and benefits appear.
Atheist like to say religion is a tool of control. It is very dismissive. Which is most likely true when considering major religions today.
Maybe we are just atoms. Maybe there’s a higher power. In any case these ideas become very appealing on continence.
