The Science of Spirit. Part 6

by

By: Seeker
I have gone through just how religion has failed us, how it was corrupted very early on into a tool for the powerful to keep control of the masses. We grow up believing in the corruption as Truth and the powerful use that corrupted belief to manipulate us and get us to go kill on command - hardly a path of Light by anyone’s description.

But there are many people out there who hold other views than those of Christianity. Some are lapsed Christians and here we need to be careful to distinguish between those who have found alternate views out of guilt for their lapses and those who have found new ways to live and think based on superior knowledge or results.

I’m not sure which camp I belong in although I try earnestly to seek a path that leads to Light through knowledge; perhaps because of how I have lived my life, it seems to me the logic of our existence and the lessons we see all around us, and even the traits which distinguish Man from animal all point towards knowledge being the path the wisdom and/or enlightenment.

I think that, perhaps like the beliefs of those persecuted throughout recent history (ie. since the Christ) by the established Church, I lean towards there being a Light and a Dark path, but I’m unsure as to whether either of them are ‘evil’ in the Christian sense. It may be more simple than that – Light is the path that leads to mastering the physical cosmos and moving on to ‘higher’ realms to start over at a new level, while Dark is the path that involves staying bound ‘in the flesh’ and with full focus on the physical as being all there is of the Universe.
