Any method of being rewarded after death that requires you to learn something from some kind of external source such as a book or a teacher is unfair. Everyone is born in different environments and encounter different influences in their lives.

One can see the true nature of things just from looking inside their minds and being mindful and selfless, no external source is necessary to see this. One can never have read the Dao De Jing by Laozi and still be a Taoist, one can never have read any of Buddha's sutras and still be a Buddhist. Why? Because those ideas come naturally to one who is mindful and selfless just as they came to many philosophers and wisemen throughout history. Ideas that explain the nature of reality and the best state of consciousness we can achieve through meditation in these impermanent forms.

I don't deny an almighty and eternal God's existence, whatever his nature may be, one god or several. His way of doing things though is unfair. Through enlightenment I won't have to deal with Him after death.

You have some very insightful ideals. I am impressed with your attitude and demeanor. I do however sense a disrespectful attitude lurking just beneath your positive exterior.
When you refer to a non-corporial being that has never said one word directly to any man according to any man alive that wasn't derived by a book that was written by the hand of man (man meaning human kind). Whatever "His way of doing things" may be to you, they most certainly are not my way of doing things, though, I do find some of the things I do unfair to me, however, decadence usually fails to err on the side of caution when it comes to the teachings of God brought to you by Mattel, Batteries not included. So to say that there are only one method of teaching is incorrect, but only from at least my perspective. The reason for this is based upon the recognition of other peoples differentiating perspectives, demeanors, attitudes, and lifestyles voiced by their actions and communication skills towards themselves and others. Well, quite a few sometimes fail to see even the obvious, though as of late, I have noticed that the obvious is obviously the most common thing to be overlooked as it is right out in the open. But what am I referring to you ask? The possibility of something miraculous occuring right before your eyes, yet is taken as an everyday, "Yeah, yeah, and...?" sort of attitude along with it even if it is observed.
Have you ever heard of the quarter trick?
You take a quarter. Look at it intensively for 30 minutes spaced out over the course of the day everyday, do your best to keep the visual identification of the quarter in mind. If you do this, you will actually find quarters all over the place.
It's a strange coincidence that I find peculiarly enlightening as that quarter did already exist in the real world outside my perception, but not to me until I observed its very existence laying on the ground. Is believing seeing and seeing reinforcement of belief? If this is so, then wouldn't that mean that if you hated something already in your mind that when upon perceiving another occurance the anger would surface yet again? Is it a commonplace occurance or are there more to this idea then meets the eye...? Perhaps we are still as of yet doing what we can to escape the clutches of the dark-ages after all, or perhaps we are simply reconfirming that we truly are already entirely enlightened to the extent that any human is possible. I believe in a stranger fiction than this. One that tells of a twisted backwards tale of truth as potential lies and lies as potential truths. A tale that began with an idea from a man who got his ideas from another man, and from that man derived from yet another man and so on. I would explain my story and belief to one who would be willing to listen, though, I have found that one who listens is the rarest form of decency left on this planet, since barely anyone wishes to even listen to themselves. Yesh, the dark-ages are all around us if we choose to look for them within the mundane, so then must the miraculous. For every action there is an equal AND opposing reaction (Newton's Third Law of Motion). And where did this man get his ideas from? And who, then, later on, picked up on this man's ideas and created even more ideas; and what accomplishments did he make with those ideas? So many questions, yet every body seems to want to stop at "Uh oh! I smell W.O.R.K., such a fowl stench that should brush against my nose. Begone fowl stench of W.O.R.K.! Begone I say! Back to the oblivious pit of despair whence ye came!" And the opportunity and potential moves on to the next person. Perhaps all that I say is simply all in my head. I would have to at least agree with the last statement considering the only way for me to type such a message as long as this would have to have come from my head to my fingers, the the keys on the keyboard, to the electronic impulses that interpret them and type out the pixels on the screen for me to observe and review, and then finally to send to you. Yes, I will then print this message out and review it later to include some of the questions I asked here today and place them into my novel that I'm compiling and transmitting. It will be a book of questions instead of answers. Who knows what ideas may come spilling forth from the minds of (wo)men? They have come before us, they shall come after us as well, for ideas are eternal.
