If you want to meet the truth

If you want to meet the truth, you must first free yourself from the slavery of the superstitious subconscious mind and come out of the dark enclosure of religion with the help of the rational conscious mind. Then, being honest, you have to proceed logically like a truth seeker scientist or detective with the aim of uncovering the mystery. There is no place for blind faith in this path. You have to remember that you are human because you have a conscious mind. So as a human being it is your duty to be guided by the conscious mind. May your journey be successful. ~ Maharishi MahaManas

Why does everyone keep calling Faith blind. Do you call love blind, or happiness blind. Faith is a very real thing.

I personally think "blind faith" is referring to following a faith, without asking questions or asking for proof. Or asking questions of our religious leaders, not getting a legitimate answer, and still believing in the faith and the leaders.
Not to diminish your faith because you know I respect you, but one example would be continuing to believe that Christ was fully human and fully God. We believe the science that tells us that in order to be a human being we need two sets of DNA, one set from the mother and one set from the father. To believe that Christ was fully human would mean he needed a second set of DNA from a father. Now this tells us that either Gad has DNA and is a human being, or that Christ was just a man and not a god.
Blind faith would come into play because we have scientific evidence that shows us different from the teachings, and an unwillingness to change the teachings based on science.

I know, it's a lot to absorb. 😅
