About Us

Beyond Belief is a blog devoted to exploring the deep questions of life, faith, and meaning. We examine religion, spirituality, philosophy, and the search for truth—not from a place of dogma, but from a desire to understand, to question, and to grow.

The blog was founded by Dawn Martin, a passionate seeker and spiritual thinker who believes in the value of open dialogue and honest inquiry. She created Beyond Belief as a space for thoughtful exploration beyond the boundaries of conventional belief systems.

Among our contributors is Theophar, a fictional character brought to life through the writings of Brad Gilbertson. Theophar is a shaman, sage, philosopher, and religious scholar who shares his wisdom in the first person. His voice is calm, curious, and contemplative—a guide through the fog of spiritual and existential uncertainty.

Whether you are reconstructing your faith, letting go of old beliefs, or simply exploring new ideas, Beyond Belief welcomes you. Here, questions are more important than conclusions, and every perspective is an invitation to deeper thought.

Think freely. Believe boldly. Question everything.

Welcome to Beyond Belief

  May 15, 2025 Welcome, fellow travelers and truth-seekers, to Beyond Belief —a space where we'll journey together through the complex landscape of faith, spirituality, and the mysteries that have shaped human consciousness since time immemorial. I created this blog because I believe that the most important questions often exist in the spaces between certainties. Religion has provided comfort, community, and meaning to billions—while simultaneously being a source of division, control, and at times, manipulation. It's precisely this paradox that makes it worthy of our thoughtful exploration. Here at Beyond Belief, we won't be satisfied with surface-level discussions or comfortable narratives. We'll dive into the historical records and the hidden corners, examining religious traditions through multiple lenses: The profound wisdom contained within ancient spiritual teachings The historical context that shaped religious institutions The power structures that have le...

Who Really Controls Humanity? Salvador Freixedo’s Warning from Beyond Belief

In the landscape of religious inquiry and spiritual thought, few voices have been as provocative and fearless as Salvador Freixedo’s. A former Jesuit priest turned paranormal researcher, Freixedo spent decades challenging the foundations of organized religion and questioning the unseen forces he believed are truly pulling the strings of human society. But who—or what—did he believe was behind it all? A Radical Shift from the Church Freixedo began his life in deep service to the Catholic Church. But after years of witnessing spiritual experiences that didn’t fit into traditional dogma, he broke away and pursued a truth he felt had been buried beneath centuries of control and fear. He didn’t just leave the Church—he became one of its loudest critics, suggesting that many religious institutions were tools of manipulation rather than paths to enlightenment. The Hidden Puppet Masters In works like Defendámonos de los dioses (“Let Us Defend Ourselves from the Gods”), Freixedo proposed a chi...

Are We Free, or Just Dancing to a Script?

Do we really have a choice in our actions, or are we simply playing out a story that’s already been written? This question has haunted philosophers, theologians, and seekers of truth for centuries. When we look at the world through the lenses of Free Will , Determinism , and Compatibilism , the answer becomes both more complex—and more fascinating. Free Will: The Power to Choose At the heart of free will is the idea that we are autonomous agents. That we can choose between right and wrong, between this path or that, without being controlled by outside forces. Most religious and legal systems are built on this foundation. If we weren’t free to choose, could we be held accountable for anything? Free will provides comfort. It gives us ownership over our lives and our destinies. It tells us that, at any moment, we can choose to be someone new. But this comforting notion quickly unravels when we introduce a different perspective. Determinism: The Illusion of Choice Determinism argues ...
