Spirituality Guide

We have evidence of a civilization that could build megalithic monuments and buildings that defy even modern abilities to duplicate. But in orthodox history, there is no trace of such people.

We have anomalous ruins across the world, built using skills we thought were modern inventions, constructed for unknown purposes. (eg. The major pyramids in Egypt provide literally no evidence they were ever used as tombs; no bodies, no funerary arrangements, and with the exception of some red paint daubs above the King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid, currently disputed as forgeries, not one scrap of writing has been found in them)

There are scores, or hundreds, of myths and creation stories that tell of a world disaster, commonly a flood and deluge, that destroyed the previous world and reduced man to savagery. A savagery that ended when strangers came from the sea, with (usually) knowledge, powers and seeds, to rebuild a civilized world using the local tribe as a nucleus.

Now that we can go beneath the waves, we are finding more and more ruins, megaliths and structures, once again without any ‘normal’ historic explanation, that have to have been there for ten thousand years or more.

And all the stories, the myths and mystics, as well as what we can decipher of the lives led by those back at the purported dawn of civilization, point to the importance of a spiritual existence, of following a life that leads, not to increased possessions and money, but towards growth into immortality.

From the earliest times, painted in primal colours on cold rock walls, a spiritual theme has shown up. Among the very first messages to come from the dawn of sapience are those dealing with a world beyond, a world that extends and makes sense of the one we see around us.

The buildings, the temples, the reverence for the patterns of nature and the awe at the existence of Consciousness have all been pointed to the Immortality of Beingness and highlighted the shallowness of the purely material.

We look around us at a world that glorifies the materialistic, the ‘owning’ of things and the consuming of resources. To view our world, one would think we should be the happiest of peoples – after all, we are the pinnacle of all time, the apex of humanity in all our pride and glory.

Yet, in this age, in these circumstances, it is almost impossible to find people who don’t have an escape from life. Be it alcohols, drugs, rage, TV or handing it all to God in abnegation of self-responsibility, we all find ways to turn away from living our lives to the full. As a race, as a civilization, as individuals, we are quite apparently not happy in our lives.
