Most people have no theology, no cosmology or cosmogony, no theory of evil …
They are either “religious” in the sense that they believe what their religion tells them to believe
Or they are atheistic and materialistic
And even people who have some spiritual proclivities do not have a coherent philosophy and often have various atheistic or theistic beliefs
An understanding that addresses these questions
- who/what am I?
- What is God?
- Why do I exist in this body and in this world?
- What is the purpose of this life, this world?
- What is the nature of reality/existence?
- What is my purpose as a soul, as a being?
- What is the nature of evil?
- What is the true path in this life?
To have a coherent metaphysics and philosophy that orients you as to who you are and what your true purpose is in this life.
