y habla de un concepto que resulta fundamental, es el de aterrizar una nocion de espiritualidad que involucre los principios espirituales de las grandes religiones dentro de un marco coherente, mas integrador, y usar la ciencia de la mano de estos principios para poder hacer algo por el bien de la humanidad. Como quiera que sea, la propuesta de este movimiento parece querer las enseñanzas espirituales originales dentro de un marco pragmático que permita llevar a cambios concretos, y al ascenso de la humanidad en todos los niveles. De aqui queda claro que el avance no es solo tecnologico, sino que debe darse primero a nivel de la conciencia.
Functional Spirituality
People want answers, so through time we have invented explanations for phenomena. As our
societies have grown, our tools for analyzing the world and its attributes have improved and thus our
understandings have changed based on newer discoveries. Knowledge is an evolutionary
phenomenon just like everything else in nature. Therefore, it is critical that we all be mentally and
emotionally prepared for our traditional beliefs to lose relevance. For some, this is a very difficult
process due to the emotional attachments that have been created around certain beliefs. Religion is a
powerful example ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ this ideological attachment.
Establishment Religion, in many ways, seems to be rooted in a perceptual misunderstanding about
life's processes. For instance, it presents a worldview that often puts the human on a different level
than other elements ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ nature. This 'spiritual ego' has led to dramatic conflicts for generations, not
************SPAM/BANNEAR************ between human beings, but inadvertently between us and the environment itself. However, as
time has moved forward, Science has shown how human beings are subject to the exact same forces
************SPAM/BANNEAR************ nature as everything else. We have learned that we all share the same atomic substructure as trees,
birds and all other forms ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ life. We have learned that we cannot live without nature's elements... we
need clean air to breathe, food to eat, energy from the sun, etc. When we understand this symbiotic
relationship ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ life, we begin to see that as far as 'relationships' are concerned, our relationship to the
planet and nature is the most profound and important. The medium by which this is expressed, is
Science, for The Scientific Method has allowed us insight into these natural processes, so we can
better understand how we 'fit' into this life system as a whole.
The Religious Ideal:
Nearly all religions ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ the world talk about certain ideal values for humanity.
Christianity:
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
Buddhism:
”Putting oneself in the place ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.”
Confucianism:
”Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself.”
Hinduism:
”One should never do that to another which one regards as injurious to one’s own self.”
Islam:
”Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.”
Judaism:
”The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ your citizens; you shall love him as
yourself.”
Taoism:
”Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain, and your neighbor's loss as your own loss.”
Regardless ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ these notions, one glance at society today makes one wonder why the ideal ************SPAM/BANNEAR************
universally valuing and respecting your fellow human being has never taken root. It was the Jesus
character who said: “Love thy neighbor as thy self”. But how? How can we have a society where
people live together in harmony, working for the common good, as the religious ideals promote?
The answer is that it is up to us to design a system that allows for those humane ideals to flourish.
Today’s self interested, money oriented society creates an environment that refuses to allow for the
universal caring ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ another. This system is based on the perpetuation ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ oneself, at the expense ************SPAM/BANNEAR************
others, and therefore it can never allow for a world ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ balance and harmony.
The fact is, it is time to stop praying, stop wishing and stop blindly talking about our supposed
humanistic and religious ideals and actually work to make them happen!
Mis respetos para el mae que posteo este tema, de verdad excelente.
