Superstition is “a False Concept of Causation.”

Daily writing promptAre you superstitious?View all responses

I found this Merrian-Webster definition of superstition: “a false concept of causation.” Everything in the universe was caused by something or someone. Nothing has ever been proven to exist without a cause. Therefore, the belief that the universe itself came into existence all by itself is “a false concept of causation.” It is unproven speculation, a superstitious belief, a modern myth.

I’m not superstitious! I stand on rationality. Nothing ever causes anything. Therefore, the universe itself has a cause, a Creator. Big or small, no bang has ever happened without a cause.

The idea that without a cause matter came from nothing, and order came from chaos, and intricacy came from order, and life came from matter, and human intelligence came from life, makes no sense. It’s an unproven superstition based on the primitive fear of being held accountable to an intelligent Creator.

I don’t use modern superstition to hide from my Creator. Day and night my heart cries out to the One who created me. He shows me the cause of my problems and personal disfunction — my rebellion against and resistance to the conscience He created within me.

Through a life of listening to my conscience (the inner voice of the One who created me) and to other people who listen to theirs, I’ve discovered a lifetime of amazing experiences that defy all statistical odds but have become frequent occurrences to me. I’ve discovered that ancient Christian writers also had the same kind of experiences even though they lived in radically different times and cultures than I do. Their writings perfectly align with the inner Voice I hear. That confirms to my logic that the Voice that I hear isn’t subjective or superstitious, but the object inner Voice of our Creator. Listen, obey, then honestly weigh the evidence and you will see the reality of “Christ in you.” Jesus said: “My sheep hear My voice.” I do! And no superstition could ever have the verifiable impact it has on me and has had on millions of people though out history.

Rejoice and be thankful that your life matters. Live like your life matters. Be grateful to be alive. Be kind to yourself. Treasure and protect your mind and your body like they are your prized possessions. Obey your conscience so that you won’t flood yourself with the torment of guilt. To live in ways that damage or neglect your mental and physical wellbeing by engaging in self-destructive thoughts and behaviors is to proclaim that you don’t really believe that your life matters. You are the only person alive who can discover and do the things that will lead you to a peaceful mind and a healthy body. Get started today! “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
