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.
Spirituality is 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?
