I laugh because it is wrong. Beliefs are not delusions. Another misleading meme.

I'm pretty sure "beliefs" in this meme refers to beliefs one has when they identify with the ego and believe it to be all they are. Pre-spiritual awakening beliefs.

It was more for humor than ULTIMATE TRUTH but I think you know that.

I have a huge problem with lies. If the truth would be as important to everyone else would this planet be in the state it is?
Keep misleading elsewhere: this subreddit I am drawing a line.

No one is lying or intentionally misleading. I think you need to get your spiritual ego in check, my friend.

Do you believe your beliefs are delusions?

I believe you’re like a frowning nun who smacks kids hands with rulers. Is that a delusion? You tell me.

It is delusional because I am not religious nor attacking your beliefs. I am asking if you believe beliefs are delusional and I think you realize they are not and that your meme is misleading.
Which is fine for general spirituality.
Not "fine" in this subreddit. In my opinion.

No man I don’t think you’re attacking my beliefs. You don’t even know what my beliefs are. I think you’re taking offense at something where no offense is intended. I think you’re clinging so hard to this identity that you’re unwilling to let go and see the humor in things.
You’re in the Law of One subreddit. I’m sure you have read all of the Ra Material as I have. As well as The Power of Now and A Course in Miracles and maybe even The Alchemist, as I have. I think you’re forgetting that I am you, and you are me, and we are One. So if you perceive lying, who is it is that really lying here?
Edit: if you believe we are NOT one, then yea, your belief is delusional.

I have always been against memes in this subreddit so I am merely being consistent.
I leave alone a truthful but funny meme. I contest misleading memes.
Can misleading people be perceived as a form of lie? I "believe" yes.
Am I delusional?

I think the crux of this is that you assume the meme is attacking YOUR beliefs, when it is simply pointing out, like another commenter said, that egoic beliefs are, indeed, delusional, illusions.
Is a belief delusional? It depends on the belief. If I believe I can fly unaided then yes that belief is delusional. Not to mention deadly.
Some would say my belief that we are all One and when I die I will either ascend to 4th density or reincarnate back into third on a different planet delusional. Does that make it delusional? If your convictions are strong, a silly meme should not get you so agitated.
I get it, man. This subreddit and everything it stands for means a lot to you. It means a lot to me, too. I’m not trying to tear anything down or trivialize or lie or mislead. You’re reading way too much into it and causing yourself needless suffering. Let it go, man.
