Yes. The worrying creates the door.

You can just keep the secrets of life behind the door. It's too draining to worry about what's behind it.

I hope that I am benefitting myself and others by being here. I would like to look back on the experience as having been beneficial.

I'm not sure about that. I just explain things well and I discover that they already know. I think we all do.

Yes, there is a purpose for the door. But it is the discovery that it cannot lead to where it promises.

Golden words
These indeed are golden words and am glad i read them to treasure forever.But all of us sometimes realize a truth and then forget in search of something,it keeps on happening.i think we create a key then a door and then we move around to fit the door into any of our thought...and then start the search... this is required too because without the doors we would not welcome any unexpected truth....so door and key and the world out there all have a purpose to fulfill.

For those who are brave enough to look, they find something completely different than what was expected.

Very true,
but are people brave enough to understand what lies beyond the "door". This means knowing yourself and a lot of people are afraid to.

Sometimes I digress, but hopefully somewhere in there the question finds an answer.

The simplest truths are often the most baffling, because we build elaborate defenses against them.

I've heard it said that hell exists because we decide to prevent ourselves from going there.
What lies in our mind does not leave it, though it appears to. When I interact with you, I keep this image of you, what you look like, etc. I assume that this part of my thoughts lies outside it, in you. But, in fact, none of it does.
Therefore, what I resist I make real. An atheist must believe in the God he rails against; otherwise, he would not rail against it. He is saying that what a 'believer' thinks has substance and form, though he attack it vehemently.
I say it does not exist at all, but is only imagination run amok.

very profound truth. Once really grasped, one tends to step back from rattling the imaginary handle for very long huh?

Searching means that you already know what it is you are looking for. How would you recognize it? This is the dilemma religion faces. There are a million paths to heaven, each with its own dogmas and rituals. Which is true?
Anything searched for exists because of the search, not because it exists before the search took place. The 'reason' for the search is the feeling of being without, which is created through comparison.
Would we search for happiness, were we merely content to be?

do you mean...
that we create those kind of doors in our minds? So the solution is closer than we ever thought, if only we accept that the door doesn't exist at all?
