The Science of Spirit. Part 4
By: Seeker
What is going on in the world? Why is it that religion has largely become irrelevant yet the science that has replaced it is not bringing more happiness to the world?
Well when one tries over and over to achieve something, and keeps failing at the job in spite of earnest efforts, there are a couple of possibilities as to what is happening.
One is that there is someone else working to ensure the efforts do not achieve results. The other is that one has an incorrect view of things, that the basis on which one is exerting effort is false or misleading in some way, leading to the effort being misdirected or wasted. Or both.
We have, in the West, an outstanding example of how a new paradigm can be hijacked, with a new way of doing things and seeing our lives being co-opted by the powers-that-be to assist them in their control of the population. And it relates directly to this forum.
We can debate the origin of the new paradigm endlessly, we can find points of contention almost ad infinitum, but to me, this is separation, this is the limiting of connectivity similar to that which led to the Jonestown massacre or the Waco tragedy. What we need to do is recognize that each of us seeking a new way, each Being who is engaged in traversing this life and learning about this universe, is a valid Being. They have a point of view and they have value.
If you and I are exactly the same, one of us is unnecessary.

Dear seeker,
We are all born as humans and try to live as humans and not as gosts. There are so many religious practices for each and every religion, there are good and bad practices. Most of them give positive effects on the human mind and body. Just take only positives. Science we have to take all positives and negatives to build some theories which mainly depend on mathematics, which are again assumptions of theories. Most of the science is built upon the theories more precise we go nearere to the start of the lements and the life the more crazier the theories, then we have to doubt about our own existance.
Most of religious practices couple few things like building the resistance and immunity of the body and mind along with positive mentality, which in turn helps in making one to feel that we are together and not seperate, the feeling of seperation comes only in science and it becomes individuals effort, the ego builds up and the self distruction starts.
Presently we are in the verge of self distruction, probably entire human community is at stake due to some of these individuals who wanted to control the world for their greed and creed which has only one end that is self distruction and also distroying entire community of humans along with the nature.
Only the positive that can help us to over come such eventualities is the spirituality, which is nothing but thinking that we are all humans and wanted to live as long as this earth stays, in peace, harmony ans serene conditions.
Only one religion is great which advocates that we are all humans, irrespective of race, religion, region etc. Such a religion adopts all others, all religions converge into that.
Such a promoter is only one in the entire world that is HINDUISM.
