I believe it's all in the mind. There is practically nothing outside the mind. This is not solipsism. I'm not talking about my mind only. All minds are connected into one mind, like raindrops forming an ocean. Nothing important is left when all lifeforms with a mind have died out. Well, elementary particles are there, perhaps. Or it could be just waves. Who cares? Gods, angels, and demons, love and hate, confusion and clarity, exist in the mind only. The battle between good and evil is taking place in the mind.
It's essential to get off the train you happen to find yourself on, whether it's a religious train, a particular philosophy, a political ideology, or an idea about what you should strive for in life. Many people have succeeded in leaving their religious cult or their drinking buddies. It's hard, but it's possible. It's possible just to be a human being. You need love, food, and shelter, but you don't need dogmas or teachings. You can live very well without them.
You can leave the train at the next station, but you can't spend the rest of your life at a train station; you have to go somewhere. If you jump on another train, you will be in the same situation you just left. So, what shall you do? I don't know. You have to find out for yourself. Maybe it will unfold naturally; maybe it won't.
