AN INSPIRING SEARCH FOR WHAT WILL WORK
I am so moved by mankind's seeking of "truth" and a way of thinking and believing that works to create greater happiness and less suffering. I am also grateful for the thinking that went into it AND I recognize that much of it is "made up" and/or "vague", such that it is necessary to sort out what makes sense and also to simplify it.
Much of it is "made up" in an attempt to explain the unexplainable and/or fill in a missing explanation. As such, "nonsense" is produced fairly often, so one must do as the Buddha cautioned: don't believe this, but look at it to see what is true for you.
THE DIFFERENT MEANS TO CREATING HAPPINESS
Although I just quoted Buddha, I separate out Buddhism into the philosophical disciplines, which are also "constructs" of how things work. The line is fine and often overlaps between philosophical disciplines, spirituality, and underneath spirituality is a number of structured frameworks called religions. Psychology also overlaps, as it is seeking to have mankind know greater happiness and less suffering, just through different methods.
As I know all readers of this site are seeking greater happiness, I urge you to use all of them. However, I am seeking to, on this site, integrate them and then to simplify them, so that you don't have to do the original very time-consuming work of sorting all of this out. I try to direct you away from the nonsense and into making sense of it all and also in using the practical parts to actually make life work better.
