“When there is doubt it shows that the mind is thinking.” Luther Lebelo from his book Consciousness of Being God
“Cogito, ergo sum. I think, therefore I am. I am thinking, therefore I exist” Democritus
Everyday self-doubt and internal debates are the “God vs. Satan” dialogue—symbolic of inner conflict, not literal beings.
Internal doubt drives external identity affirmations; true empowerment is self-acceptance.
UJ Library hosted a special book launch for Luther Lebelo’s *Consciousness of Being God*, exploring deep themes of identity and liberation on the 4th July 2025.
In the book, author Luther Lebelo reinterprets biblical and psychological concepts to explain the nature of doubt. He suggests that everyday self-doubt and internal debates are not external forces but rather an inner conflict—a “God vs. Satan” dialogue symbolic of the struggle between limitless and limited thinking.
The book posits that doubt is a manifestation of our subconscious beliefs, often rooted in inherited or generational traumas. For example, Leello mentions that affirmations like “Black is beautiful” can reveal a subconscious self-doubt. He also redefines the biblical figure of Thomas as a dimension of the human brain that represents doubt.
Ultimately, Leello suggests that the core battle of life is maintaining the awareness that we are not limited beings. This is a continuous struggle against self-doubt, where faith—defined as a deep state of being and consciousness—is the only way to replace fear and overcome the internal prisons that doubt creates.
The book encourages readers to recognize that the opposite of God is not an opposing power but simply the absence of elevated, limitless thought.
