AboutBlanchjoe Expertise Who or what is God? What is Heaven? What is the meaning of life? Who am I? What is happiness? Why is there Evil? What is Sin? What is The Bible? What is the spirit or soul?

Then what thing is there in the domain of god/spirituality/relegion that is self provan without the need of belief or faith.
Thanks.

Awareness and perception of this relationship alters you fundamentally even if it is perceived for only a moment, and never again.
There are two fundamental and profound precepts within religious or spiritual development that are more important than any other to the seeker;
