There is much talk about deconstructing religion in light of recent discoveries of the nature of organized religion. The Internet often presents only two choices: Christian or Atheist. Unfortunately, most people also assume that spirituality and religion are one and the same, but this assumption is wrong. Religion generally refers to organized systems of beliefs, rituals, and practices around a deity or deities, with an established community of followers. Religion presents you a set of beliefs, dogmas and "holy men" as intermediaries between you and "God." The history of religion refers to the written record of human religious feelings, thoughts, and ideas. This period of religious history probably begins with the invention of writing about ~5,200 years ago. The prehistory of religion involves the study of religious beliefs that existed prior to the advent of written records. Four religions— Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism —account for over 77% of the world's population, and 92% of the world either follows one of those four religions or identifies as nonreligious, meaning that the remaining 9,000+ faiths account for only 8% of the population combined. Only a few decades ago, a Christian identity was so common among Americans that it could almost be taken for granted. As recently as the early 1990s, about 90% of U.S. adults identified as Christians but religion has experienced a sudden decline. However this seems to be a way of clearing out the old to make room for a new perspective, a whole new paradigm. Religions are supposed to be all about faith and spirituality. However, religion is much like any other organization that has leadership, and has income and expenses like a business. In fact, there’s a lot of money that goes through religious hands, and it isn't necessarily used for charity. The European monarchs all embody the power struggle between church and state over who holds the supreme authority in the physical world. YouTube and the Internet in general has become a veritable smorgasburd of spiritual ideas. Dr. Robert Gilbert tells us that this is part of an era of the expansion of esoteric knowledge and consciousness. The most popular "New Age" theme is about using your mind to alter physical reality. But there is a sinister side to this that you may not be aware of. Artificial intelligence is no longer a far-fetched idea out of a sci-fi movie. We're living with it, here and now. A scammer could rent AI to use artificial intelligence to mimic anybody saying anything. There is an increasing number of websites where anybody with a computer and the credit card can gain access to very powerful softwares that will clone the voice and images of anyone to say anything and make it seem believable. These cybercriminals are not just taking advantage of people to steal money, but also to represent themselves as gurus or spiritual adepts or prophets qualified to give spiritual advice. There are many such sites on YouTube. Sme AI creations have helped illustrate truth, but Internet discretion is in order. Over the centuries, the relationship between science and religion has also seen conflict and hostility. But there are recent indications of collaboration. In philosophy of mind, the hard problem of consciousness is to explain why and how humans and other organisms have qualia, phenomenal consciousness, or subjective experiences. The science of "vibes" shows how everything is connected. The "resonance theory of consciousness" posits that synchronized vibrations are central not only to human consciousness but to all of physical reality. All is energy in vibration. Sis the belief in something beyond the self that connects all beings to each other and the universe.In a way, this reminds us of household spirits to land, forest, and water spirits, which were a very real part of the daily lives of our ancestors. Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice found in cultures around the world from ancient times up to the present day. It involves a practitioner (shaman or saman) interacting with the spirit world through altered states of consciousness, such as trance. The goal of this is usually to direct spirits or spiritual energies into the physical world for the purpose of healing, divination, or to aid human beings in some other way. Beliefs and practices categorized as "shamanic" have attracted the interest of scholars from a variety of disciplines, including anthropologists, archeologists, historians, religious studies scholars, philosophers and psychologists. Spiritualism is a belief system or practice that revolves around the idea of communicating with the spirits. It often involves mediums or psychics who claim to connect with the spirit world. Spirituality encompasses a consciousness-based vision of the world that supports all human beings on their path to awakening in unconditional love and kindness. Spirituality is concerned with the present, while religion deals with the future. Quantum mechanics may actually strengthen the connection to the divine. A 2004 hybrid film and documentary, What the Bleep Do We Know!? seeks to explain the connections between science and spirituality. The film that explores the connection between quantum physics and consciousness through visual effects, story-telling and interviews with experts. It was a radical departure from convention. Gamma waves are associated with large-scale coordinated activities like perception, meditation or focused consciousness; beta with maximum brain activity or arousal; and theta with relaxation or daydreaming. These three wave types work together to produce, or at least facilitate, various types of human consciousness, according to Pascal Fries. But the exact relationship between electrical brain waves and consciousness is still very much up for debate. People in the spiritual community talk a lot about keeping a super high vibration, but what does that really mean? Everyone’s vibration is different, and everyone has a different vibration. High vibration is a thought form. Kindness is a light thought form that can go clear across the universe faster than the speed of light. That is high vibrational energy. A low vibrational energy is a thought that cannot even make it out of the Earth’s energy, such as anger, hatred, or resentment. We use these negative vibrations to keep us grounded on the planet. Spiritual guides tell us that you have an incredible power inside of you, and you CHOSE to incarnate here and now. If you had a very high vibration, you would actually leave the planet and no longer want to be here anymore.We need to understand that we can reach the highest levels of vibrations and still stay on and help the planet. spiritually importantpeople. Right now there are a lot of people in crisis; our planet is in crisis. A soul always gets to choose whether it will incarnate or not. We are not sent here against our will. All souls are then free to exist in the ether or they can choose to incarnate as humans on earth (or perhaps other beings on other planets. There are apparently two trillion galaxies in the latest estimate for the number of galaxies in just the observable universe. Each is made up of many stars and planets and most are much older than our own galaxy. So the idea of humans being the most evolved beings is not realistic. Human technological civilisation only dates back millennia (at most). Just imagine what it might be in a million years or more. If there are 100 billion suitable planets in our galaxy, if the origin of life is highly probable, if there are billions of years of evolution available on each such planet and if even a small fraction of technical civilizations pass safely through the early stages of technological adolescence, magic and religion Arthur C. Clarke codified this idea that "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Belief in magic exists in all societies, regardless of whether they have organized religious hierarchy including formal clergy or more informal systems. While such concepts appear more frequently in cultures based in polytheism, animism, or shamanism. Religion and magic became conceptually separated in the West where the distinction arose between supernatural events sanctioned by approved religious doctrine versus magic rooted in other religious sources. With the rise of Christianity this became characterized with the contrast between divine miracles versus folk religion, superstition, or occult speculation. The multiverse is the hypothetical set of all universes. Together, these universes are presumed to comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them. Several versions of a generic "multiverse" concept appear in physics. "All is one" seems to be a state of mind obtainable after extensive meditation of ingestion of hallucinogens may apparently broaden consciousness extensively. Near death experiences frequently have the same result. Often people express this in terms of a transcendent reality beyond mere physical experiences. On the Internet there are many spiritual people, psychics or people who have psychic or Near Death experiences that are apparently "trancendent" of ordinarily reality. The law of attraction is a philosophy suggesting that positive thoughts bring positive results into a person's life, while negative thoughts bring negative outcomes. It is based on the belief that thoughts are a form of energy and that positive energy attracts success in all areas of life, including health, finances, and relationships. At death there’s a break in our linear stream of consciousness, and thus a break in the linear connection of times and places, but biocentrism suggests that consciousness is manifold and encompasses many such branches of possibility. Death doesn’t truly exist in any of these; all branches exist simultaneously and continue existing regardless of what happens in any of them. The “me” feeling is energy operating in the brain. But energy never dies; it cannot be destroyed. 5D is a term that is becoming a popular way of describing the shift that is taking place within our consciousness as individuals and as a collective consciousness. There are a few different perspectives on what is 5D, ranging from a physics-based explanation of dimensions to some people who regard the shift to 5D as a specific big event or moment in time that we will go through as a collective. So it seems that we have uncountable planets in space and uncountable vibrational levels. Is one more real that the other? Or do they correspond so that physical reality is derivative or representative of energy patterns? Recent proof that neither space or time is real, but are energy patterns of vibration, then it may well be that God is not a human-like figure or any creature at all but rather the summation of all vibrations, universes, and everything -- which would be well beyond the comprehension of our brain. Reality is much more than any simulation or computerized program. There is no word in our language for that entity. The concept of existence is directly related to levels of consciousness....
Our everyday experience is related to the physical realm, where our
eyes and mind convince us of the undeniable reality of the material
world.. Our physical consciousness is closely connected with this
world, and being identified with it, it may seem that this is the only
realm that exists. Our physical mind is focused on events and objects
in the external physical world. It sees and knows nothing except them
and does not go beyond their physical nature. However, there are also
many other worlds (or planes of existence), invisible to our physical
senses and incomprehensible to our physical consciousness.
- Spirition So what it all boils down to is the question: what will you do to manage your consciousness? A lot of negativity is thrown at us every day,just in the media alone. We all encounter bumps in our road.. So will you raise your vibrations from negative to something more worthwhile? And how will we choose to go about it?
