With interest I am
watching the phenomena of more and more growing sophisticated 'spirituality',
- especially in the Internet. The cyber space seems to be to best
play- and training ground for those who are developing their 'spirituality'.
As all those people are highly identified with their mind or/and their
emotions, and on the other hand the need to go further than their personal
limitations, so concepts that existed since long ago, were developed
by present thinkers in such a way, that hardly there is any space uncovered.
This
has happened already in the middle age when monks were discussing about
the highly sophisticated spiritual question how many angles can rest on
the peak of a needle. For us now this sounds absurd, funny or naive, but
there hasn't changed that much. In our days people are discussing about
enlightenment, karma, meditation techniques, freedom, consciousness, big
bang, or whatever and they feel very 'spiritual', especially when it goes
together or parallel with emotional identifications, images about angels,
love, vibrations, energy, etc. highly developed by many New Age thinker
and feeler. All live in 'the Here and Now' of their special and very precious
world of images. They are nourished by it and they feed back into the big
rose cloud by giving their creative energy into it. They feel so good,
- uplifted into spheres where they can forget the cruel reality of earthen
ground... Giving thankfully back into the intellectual and emotional pool
because so they get their self image rewarded and confirmed.
From there they get all their security, intellectual and emotional.
Well,
I am not judging or criticizing our society, I am just reflecting about
it and pointing out some aspects. I don't want to attack anybody, although
people might feel offended, because I am touching their most precious property
they own... What people own is their special self created reality, with
this they are satisfied. Are they? I guess not, because there is still
the silent longing in the background of their existence. A yearning for
another reality, that is not limited to one's personality.
There
are a few people on this planet who are striving forward to another 'reality',
they have a new measurement for values and so their attitude towards other
fellow human beings, the surrounding and to themselves are different. Those
people are creating new spaces to live, with different conditions, responsibly
relating to their environment and the people they live with under daily
circumstances.
