On the Terms “Religion” and “Spirituality”

Today, I read Eckhart Tolle’s explanations as to “religious versus secular spirituality” (which has also been recorded on ETV a few months back).

I was tempted to write a comment there, but not ultimately sure about my motive, (and) whether it was not more the mind, and given the possibility I should not sit in front of my computer this morning anyway, I probably better post it here. My comment is:

When reading the comments, it occurs to me that one might wish to be careful not to build an artificial contradiction between “religion” and “spirituality”. (For then, the ego has an opponent to strengthen itself in fighting.)

It is a question of definition, and Eckhart shows how to use both terms with slightly different, but possibly somewhere overlapping / “meeting” meanings.

My hitherto approach has been to always seek the highest meaning of a word, and understand the word in that sense. Thus, spirituality and religion become the same, the outer forms of religion without true spirituality not giving justice to the full meaning of the word.

By giving words their highest possible meaning, we can devoid our language and form of living from contradictions and reflect the underlying unity in the realms most people may still live in.

Religion in that sense is, even if that meaning appears “unscientific” to some, re-ligio, reconnection with the origin.

May it shine through.

Dear son of God!

 

Do you not see  your greatness?

Do you not feel, bestowed upon you,

the Grace of God Himself?

 

There is NOTHING for you

if you do not choose

the LIGHT that has been yours

from generations,

and is, and will be

to eternity’s oneness.

 

Where are you seeking?

Be blessed, and KNOW:

Nothing is failing – go on, to the show!

2012.

Faith. Beginning of Love.

The Reality Distortion Field ?

There have been various discussions of Steve Jobs‘ “Reality Distortion Field”. Some might mean it indeed in the sense of distorting what is real. Others talk of Steve’s ability to convince one of things one did not actually believe.

But maybe – and then the name would not truly fit – it is about creating something better. For energy follows thought (cf. e.g. Mantak Chia’s advice for starting Tao Yoga), and when we live as if our vision was already manifest in the outer world, it shall be. (*)

But, actually, I believe in many cases at the very least, there was no distortion at all: Apple products simply a r e  great.

(*) We might get much more aware of that soon, I have heard yesterday in a conversation between Michelle Karen and Isbabel von Fallois on cultusanimiradio.de,  (Let us choose the optimum-vision only.).

Crystal Angel

When I saw this video, I wrote the following poem (in German, translation follows):

 

Engel aus Kristall,

leuchtest hell und klar und rein.

Kleiner Engel aus Kristall,

führst zur Wahrheit Du uns ein ?

 

Führst uns “nur” ins Liebeslicht,

doch die Liebe ist das Sein.

In dem Sein erkennst Du Dich,

ziehst zur Einheit dann Du ein.

 

(in English:

 

Angel made from purest crystal,

shining bright and clear,

little angel, made of crystal,

do you lead us truthful here ?

 

You are leading us to Love,

and that Love, it’s Being, still

you then realise your Self,

going to oneness yourself.)

 

Remark: The last word did not really “show up”, came more after thinking. The direct translation would be:

 

Angel made of crystal,

shining bright and clear and pure,

little angel made of crystal,

are you guiding us into Truth ?

 

You are “only” guiding us into Love’s Light,

but Love is Being.

In Being you realise yourself,

entering(*) unity then.

 

(*) moving into

The Question of Good and Evil – Do not have a concept

I have just listened to a very interesting statement by Patricia Cota Robles, while viewing the webcast of the opening ceremony of the 25th annual World Congress on Illumination [at the time of writing this, the webcast is still available here]: God said not to partake of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil, “because as long as we have no consciousness of poverty in our lives, we won’t manifest lack and limitation in the physical plane. As long as we have no concept of disease, or war, or hatred, or prejudice, we won’t be acting out from those belief-systems, and those thoughts, and feelings.”

Before, she had pointed out, that when we believe that God has the duality is good and evil, it is “the most counter-productive belief-system we can have”, because if we believe, that God created everything, including pain and suffering, then there would be some reason for this, and it would be God’s Will. As long as we believe in that duality,  we cannot experience the one without the other, abundance without poverty, health without disease, peace without war etc.

According to her, everything what comes from God is not less than infinite perfection. Everything that conflicts with that, causing pain and suffering, involving, pain, suffering is a result of our human miscreations. We have used our life-force, and “chosen through our free will to use our thoughts and feelings to create patterns that have reflected back as poverty concsiousness, as pain and suffering, and things, that we are experiencing”.

[Nevertheless, though, she sees a duality of God, a balance of the polarity of our Father and Mother God, outbreath, radiation and expansion of our Father God’s divine Power, and the inbreath, the cohesive silence, the going-within of our divine love-nature, our feminine polarity of God, our Mother God’s, seeing them as two aspects of our Father-Mother God.]

Already since Grammar School I have been thinking about the problem, and actually touched the problem in my doctorate thesis.

I would love to have a look into Yogananda’s The Second Coming of Christ, in this context, but did not have it at hand when writing this.

Master Goi once said, I think, something like (would have to search for the exact wording) that when someone sees darkness or something “bad”, it is due to the imperfection of his standpoint / view. Maybe one could say, he does not get the entire picture – this would remind of statements by Sandy Stevenson (if interested, her website is here).

[Unless I have used quotation marks, I have told what I have heard, in part, in my own words and might, also to contents, not have put it exactly as being said – but I hope to have shown the important points.]
