In the past, we had a drastic need to improve our quality of life. I can see where
spirituality was needed, and religion helped us advance in our level of civilization.
We had to unite with shared beliefs and make judgments on enemies. We did a
pretty good job, and history establishes our progress. There does come a point
where we have to find new information. Without truth, we will abandon sprituality
and self-destruct again.
Religion has spiritual connotations, but as executed in society, is mostly a social
perspective with a political agenda. Faith is the message, but there is a
compromise...one that came long ago. Social order has always trumped religious
beliefs. I would not argue against religion for any reason I can imagine. It is one of
the few systems in human society that has worked at all. What else gives our
souls a fighting chance against the ego?
In the past, we had help. We can argue about where it came from, but that is not
important. That information will be discovered in the next 20 years or so. Our
government already knows the truth about this. They know much about our future
as well. We may become obsessed with the pursuit of this knowledge, but that is
not the issue. We already have our life's meaning laid out. It is an individual
commitment to truth and the acceptance of that truth. It helps to be intelligent, and
have a scientific mind, but not necessary...if we have the act of giving in society.
The whole of society will defend anyone who decides to live a common
meaningless existence. Even the definition of humanity will back you up. We take
the easy way out and focus on ourselves. Society views enlightenment as the
knowledge that we are even more important individually than we think we are. We
are beings from another dimension and become better than the "fools" around us
that focus on spirituality as a commitment...as sacrifice.
The conscience is there, for everyone, and cannot be denied in the end. It will
almost be put off to the point of worthlessness, but even people who live their
entire lives in a delusional state of excuse-based self-important egomania will be
forced to face the truth. It will be a pathetic situation, owning your true identity,
facing your maker, and finally being forced to discard childhood and take
responsibility for your actions. "So sorry, I didn't know. I am just a fool."
