My own 'religion' / way

Philosophy Forums Religion and Spirituality

I was trying to write it down.
I’ve got 4 parts made, and I have copies of them on skydrive, but I want to make them into a thread also.

[1] : Preface

April 7th, 2014:

I consider my ideas or ideology to be branched out mainly from christianity, modernism, nature, and my visions of spirit societies as well. But I’m not just making copies, I believe a few of my ideas are unique and created by myself. When we create compounds, we don’t create the wood or the iron, we reshape things. Creativity is taking old ideas and reshaping them, usually. I’m not ashamed of that. It’s basically a fact for technology and art.

Jesus believed that God and humanity were the most important things. Or at least, that is what the sources say. He was also big on religious law, but was still willing to heal on the sabath for example. Meanwhile the rabbis were focused heavily on rules and laws, even if the law was cruel. Some branches of christianity are rule oriented, some are love oriented. Sometimes it’s both. I know that these ideas and cultures both effected the shape of the modern world. Love is still considered by the masses to be good. Suffering, pain and death are considered bad. Also many believe in creation and a Creator figure, in many styles of belief. I believe in a maker too, but I think both the makers and the automatic natural world exist and shape existence in our realm. Some realms are purely artificial, some realms are purely natural. I’d say the physical world right now is 70% natural, 30% artificial, and when I say artificial, I mean any higher creative and reshaping force has effected it, especially the post singularity “gods”. Gods are said to govern nature, according to the arcane cultures.

Prophetic religion is the world’s main religion. A prophet is someone who is effected by a higher force, either because he is a natural psychic, or because he was chosen by spirit forces. Or it could be both. I believe that magicians, the real and skilled kind, are equal to prophets. According to this idea, the magical paradigm is the truth about prophecy. Without magic there would be no miracle, no spirit, no psychic, no soul. Magical forces are hard to understand for humans especially, but I will tell you strait up, magic is real, and so is some prophetic forces and beings. Most natives and such know this type of thing, and in old times, it was common knowledge. I’m glad that the governing spirits of the earth and sun have not manifested in my life or chosen me for anything. The world is a messed up place. It has beauty, but it has more pain than beauty. The governing planetary spirits are semi responsible for this, too. For many reasons, I advise not to trust the “gods”. This is one of the big differences I have with common paganism, because the pagans tend to trust the god figures. I’m not saying all pagans are like this, but I am saying that quite a few of them put trust into the field of deities. I don’t think a good prophet needs to be possessed by the strongest highest god. Power is secondary, what is more important is perfected morality, values systems and wisdom. Prophetic religion focuses on the power of God, besides focusing on love and wisdom. In fact, wisdom is not always the friend of the christians. As human beings, we only need so much food. Any extra would not even be able to be eaten by one lone person. This truth applies to the spirits. We don’t need God’s right hand, we need a sufficiently helpful and good force. A helpful spirit of modest power would be enough for a person, if they wanted to be blessed. A big reason why worshippers pray to their gods is for rewards and help, also out of guilt and customs. There can be any reason, but people generally want to be blessed. They want to be loved and supported. I think it is true that we don’t need God to directly provide this. It would be nice, we think, but like I said, you only need so much food, money, sleep, etc. The rest is not even necessary. So, a good prophet, a good familiar, etc. These things don’t need to be super powerful. What we need in life is basics. That’s all our body needs. Prophetic religion is an excess, in that it teaches of an extreme God, extreme bliss in heaven, extreme suffering in hell, in some cases extreme obedience and extreme rules, too. We don’t need extremes. A heaven where the problems could be solved, is basically as good as or better than a heaven where there is no problems and no work. However, I am certain that the angels and saints are always at work. They don’t just sit around. Or, they can leave heaven for work, too. Heaven is a very complicated place. The fact is that heaven has problems too, such as when they had to boot out demons, according to the bible itself. But in christianity, heaven is considered to be the best and most ideal place. Also just like the fish needs water, humans need earth-like forces. Many levels of heaven would be foreign to an ordinary human. It would burn them. They would need to be upgraded and prepared for it. Upper earth is the HS/HGA of the planet. I believe this is where a lot of the ascended people go to, instead of going to the depictions of heaven.

The earth is the body. The soul is from its own plane and sphere as well. The astral planes were created specifically as a middle ground, a road, between heavenly soul realms, and bodily dense worlds. They also have developed plane specific life, which resides perminently in the astral. Understanding the astral energy and world is key to understanding the higher of the earth, and the lower of heaven. Just like you need a car for a road, you need a certain degree of energy-body development. The tunnels people experience during NDEs that are recalled, these tunnels are the astral realm, according to my present understanding. The soul plane is its own thing, which exists at many frequencies and elemental compositions.

We live in an age of spiritual disease. Spirituality is basically owned by religion, instead of it being about our highest functions. Due to under developed spirit and energy, not everyone can access heaven while still alive. If people did more meditation, health oriented things, and other practices, the world would be different.

I just wanted to clarify on some issues with prophetic religion.

I feel that I have my own ‘religion’. I think that the world would be a better place if almost everyone took the time to develop their own specific religion for their self.

The Soul:

April 8th, 2014:

According to my paradigm and life, these are basically a list of priorities, from highest to lowest:

[1] : Progressing your soul, the souls of your family, the souls of your friends, the souls of your pets, the souls of worthy members of the public, the souls of the earth and ecosystem.
[2] : Progressing your consciousness, then in the same order afterward.
[3] : Progressing your brain and body equally, with an application of true health, then in the same order afterward.
[4] : Perfecting your morality and values as far as you can, which is a part of 1, 2 and 3 already, then in the same order afterward.
[5] : Reducing pain and addiction, sickness, suffering, etc. In and of itself, although it is part of 1, 2 and 3.

There is a difference between priorities and laws. Laws are dead. Dogmatic law, which is in some religions, is different than a priority. A priority is the end result by any means, where as a law is always a certain means.

In order to follow the five priorities, we must understand our own soul, consciousness and health, even though such things are difficult and mysterious. The soul, as defined by myself, is the core of our existence and our internal reality. But the soul is like the heart of the body. The heart animates the body, but it also needs the other organs. Souls are compound. They are not single things. Yes our soul animates our body, but it is a large structure of complex components. Also I am certain that souls are not equal. They are of many types and organizations. We progress our soul by using it. We use part of it in daily life, but other parts of the soul must be consciously used and developed. “Energy manipulation”, meditation and “feeding” are the three that I consider important.

The daily practice:

[1] : Firstly, rid the self of as many distractions as possible. Center all your awareness and focus. Lay down or sit still.

[2] : Next, hopefully you can feel your own energy and soul, and it will follow every thought and intention, both conscious and subconscious. If you cannot feel your own energy and soul, you can still know that your energies will follow your will, and I am sure you can feel your will.

[3] : Next, I would suggest you refine and store a bit of each of the five elements within yourself. Do not overcharge, but only some people can overcharge themselves anyways. One way to refine and store energy is to give it a “program”, to store lasting will within it. The will is naturally alive and can be multiplied. It itself can be shaped also. So you can put a bubble of will around the energy, after purging it of negativity, poisons and imbalances. If you know how to preserve and compress energy, and either sooner or later you will learn how, if you can try, then you can use it to multiply your will, consciousness, vitality, and soul components. I’d suggest about 1 to 3 hours of meditation per day. Even regular old breath meditation is good. However, active application of will and energy is an exertion, a use of your energies. In some cases it is easier than becoming without mind. Different people will find different things easier or more difficult. Each of the five elements are capable of crystalizing. As you practice, the crystal will become easier to make, and higher quality. Elements crystalize when they fuze.

The ideal person: (or ideal soul, and a list of virtues which I like)

[1] : Iron will : Develop as much will power as possible.
[2] : Considerate : Consider life carefully before action.
[3] : Avoid Conflict where ever possible, if it is wise to do so.
[4] : Study : Take time to absorb that which is good for the mind.
[5] : Courage : An aspect of iron will.
[6] : Sublimation : Try to replace the lower with the better. For example, letting go of anger so that it frees up more time and thought for wisdom and study.
[7] : Non-Worship : Grovelling and submitting is not a compliment. We need to be farther dignified, not so falsely “humbled”.
[8] : Open Minded : Realizing the self equates to knowing that we are not 100% true or wise, and could use some new information.
[9] : Wisdom : A huge concept that contains so many things.
[10] : Honor : Develop your own sense of respect, for yourself and for things in the world, then dignify those things and honor them.

April 17th, 2014:

A list of paradigm legends. Note that they are called legends because they are one step below a theory. Just an idea to entertain, and if you can, derive inspiration from it.

[1] : Spirit world wars:
Just as we on earth have wars, spirits wage spirit wars across very large and very small areas. They want to control each other, exploit each other, consume each other, enslave each other, etc. And they want to do the same thing to humans at times also. There are earth guardians, earth elementals, guardian angels, human spirit federations, heavenly alliances, etc. But that is not enough, all of it, is not enough to protect humans sometimes. Many people who are into psychism report large and constant amounts of attacks. Some people don’t believe in subtle wars of spirit forces, but I believe in it. It just seems true, given the nature of the world. There are many variations of this legend. Some poeple think they can go on a rampage and kill any spirit that has ill intent towards themselves. That I believe is also false. In general, spirits are stronger than humans, harder to hurt, and smarter. I try to avoid all violence now, and not step on toes during these big faction wars. I suggest we hide in our body and not draw any attention. Try to build inner power not external power.

[2] : Higher humans:
According to this legend, there was and still is humans in a higher dimension. Some of them live on the earth. For some reason they avoid revealing themselves to humanity. There are also inter stellar humans, one step below the powerful “spirit” humans, and more physical, but with massive technologies. Magicians with a full set of powers / abilities, they are probably related to higher humans, somehow. Saints are probably resonating with a higher level of their humanity. Also according to rare writings, sometimes a normal earth human can become a saint too, thought dedication and a long amount of time, staying in a higher plane and energy, instead of being stuck on earth. Higher humans of the most ancient kind can be mistaken as gods.
[2 & 1/2] : The definition oriented names of higher beings: Saints are people who’s soul is taken to special heaven realms or also some sacred necropolis areas. They get upgrades so that they become like a higher spirit. There are also saint like processes from less moral, less religious, less light oriented places, of which these formerly human souls can come to earth and preform powerful works. Such as throwing around objects, even though they are invisible immaterial beings. There are thoughtform gods, gods of principles of reality, naturally occuring automatic gods of nature, artificial gods made from singularities.

[3] : Two main classes of humans :
There are two main types of humans. Humans which are adamic - agricultural, and humans which are native to the earth, natives, hunter gatherers. A different life style, origin, and diet, rendered differences in the two racial groups, and these two groups splintered into many other groups, and the ones which have survived are to some degree expressions of the ancients.
The tree of life was a plant or plants which had strong healing and anti-aging qualities. These plants may have been so engineered or domesticated that they could not survive on their own in nature, and required special farming practices. The adamic race had access to these plants. The adamics had an advanced culture and capacity for medicine and meditation, especially herbal medicine, but they also had issues of corruption, and religious-political authority. When they were expelled from the garden of eden, they did not retain all of their culture and knowledge. The ones which expelled these persons probably died due to their own corruption, eventually. They were so secretive with their sciences and reserved them for the ruling elite, so that it was all easy lost, due to the knowledge being a secret. During disaster, such as a flood or ice age, for example, most of these special plants were either lost or forgotten. There are two types of adamic races. The old adamics are the very first and oldest agricultural civilizations or tribes. Then the young adamics are the ones which were hunter gatherer then switched over to farming later. The natives kept to hunting as a large part of their food source. The natives are also older than the adamics. They were here first.
Which races are adamic and which races are native?
One way to tell is that the most adamic persons will have the highest capacity for digesting domesticated plants. Also they are more likely to be able to digest milk. The adamics specialize in cooperation, math, sciences, labor, and other things. The natives, on the other hand, specialize in combat, psychism, athleticism, and these persons will have a higher need for meat, a higher digestion efficiency of meat, and many other manerisms to record. There are many types of natives and types of adamics, but they came from an ancient source. Also the specialization is not extreme, so that there are some scientific natives, and some warrior adamics, for example, but it is a generalized principle. The ideal adamic is sort of like the ideal of the aryan. However, this does not make the native obselete. If the two cooperate, for example, that would be more powerful and prosperous.

[4] : A vision of a new society :
Something that I have had visions about has been a sizable influence on my thought and beliefs. I’d say it is equal to someone being inspired by a sci fi movie that details an alien race. Besides visions I have also had dreams about this alien species. They are like mammals which walk upright, they have large ears, and also a large brain, a bit bigger than a human brain. They treat problems like misbehavior and crime differently than humans would, for example, and they have the technology to do new things also. If someone were “evil”, for example, he would have the option of obtaining a rewrite, a deep alteration of his brainmatter, into a more nice and ideal person. Also there is a mind library. Whole minds and persons in the form of data, able to be copied and downloaded. The brain technology is so advanced you could download, hold and use multiple personalities and selves, even though they would share memories and such. All of this seems possible in the future for distant humans if they actually could wisen up and do it. They would be so free, much more free than today, because they could change what they are at almost any level. Also in the visions, the creatures had a option other than punishment. If someone had done a lot of harm, to pay for it, they must become a doctor or a healer, and help x number of beings to be healed and improved. Creating and maintaining life instead of destroying it, added to your history and worth. All a person’s life and actions are recorded. The creatures have libraries for that. Also the creatures were very loving. They considered almost everyone in their society as a mate, similar to a husband or wife. It worked, too. True uncurable evil was considered a disease that must be either paralysed or destroyed as soon as it was spotted. This race is not exactly “tolerant”. Why should we tolerate that which we hate? If we hate it for a good reason, why not get rid of it?

Metaphysics (in general)

April 21st, 2014:

I’d like to talk about the process of preceedings.
First of all, reality seems to me to be a fluid flowing along a solid. Without a solid, current would have no direction. Empty space, and then a solid route, preceeds flowing of any fluidity into a certain empty space and route. So if time is a real fluid, its dimension being solid, the future must already exist. If preceedings do not exist, then all there is is the illusion of time, in an ever changing eternal present. Right now, I feel the best I can do is to state that both singular and dual exist. They are different levels of the same infinite, from a certain dimension and view-point. Just as our impulses of energy preceed our visible activity, it seems that everything in nature is the product of a preceeding. Radiometric dating could be a proof of time, or at least a small proof of some aspect of temporal view. The paradigm of existing preceedings means that reality has a dimension to it, a process, a mechanism, a force, etc. The parents of an animal preceed the child or baby animal. In our view-point, it seems that all is preceeded. In consciousness, one preceeds two. Two is reached when the one multiplies itself. In a sense, all is one, and all comes from one, but right now, after more than a million earth years, there are so many, that it does no longer appear the one, but the many, instead. There is so much abundant creation, that it masks the creator, in layers, like sheets of worlds and beings, constantly multiplying and changing. This is the concealment of creator, which we need not call God, unless that is the best way to put it. Also it may be that the creator cannot hear our prayers or see our lives, because it has higher priorities, or because it is so intense, that it can only sense other intense energies, and cannot sense the invisible thin energy of a human thought or prayer. The hearer of prayers is different than the creator, in my own legend, and this is for a reason. The hearer of prayers is the highest self of the earth, its highest energy and soul. This is the finest and most sensitive consciousness, which is closest to our spirit, and most linked to our core. The hearer of prayers is what most will mistake for the creator, especially in the case of small miracles. We have been so religiously conditioned that we attribute everything to our already existing categories and bias. Conditioning of the mind does have its drawbacks.

A hand full of persons consider the creator to be an endless sphere of void.
Then the void split into positive space, which is dimensional containment, and then alternatively, negative space, which is smaller than nothing, smaller than zero. It is like -5 and +5. Between these polarities came the first substance, which is aetheric space. This is the first life space, the first world, where in the most ancient angels were born. Space from then on evolved into order and chaos, and the daemon tended to live in the chaos. This was the second race of life. Contortions and progressions, expansion, happened from here onward. Specific beings are different from first beings. The first rank angels and demons contain a sort of realm within their body, whereas second beings, be it human, angel or daemon, exist within these worlds, instead of existing as these worlds. So it is more logical that the worship of worlds and planes should proceed the worship of planets and stars. Humans are secondary beings, but they have access to many things, and they exist in a more complex, more powerful, later creation. The earth is old, therefor beings of the earth gain dormant ancient-status. This is our spiritual rank, water elemental, planetary spirit, and conductor of divine force. Just as the creator continues to become, so likewise a special human soul can eventually become like a first being. Because we are preceeded by an infinite void, creation is constantly growing, moreso than it will ever be dieing or shrinking. Creation is growing at an ever increasing rate. The positive and negative poles are like the planet, they generally remain equal to each other. There is no supreme good which will destroy all evil, nor is there a supreme evil which will destroy all good; instead, there is, and forever will become. When the father passes on, some of his riches will be sent to each of his sons. The sons can reject or accept this. We have, within, an inheritance. This is the basis for living, for manifestation and for the mystical. We each have an empty throne, in hell and in heaven, so then we should prepare, in all our days of living. It is always the time of choice. More consciousness means more choice, and it is the natural purpose of consciousness to multiply, so that we can become free even beyond our self and life. Third beings are aspects of second beings. They are of the category of inferior spirits, metaphysical bodies and “inner demons”.

(edit and added the below)
It seems to me that the easiest reality to create would be a single molecule, and the most difficult reality to create is what we have right now, or even bigger and better. Unconscious forces tend to not “live” or replicate or expand. They just sit there, and follow what ever is imposed upon them. We do not live in an easy universe. Yet, the universe, at this time and in this world culture, is considered unconscious and unalive, “entropic” is a big term some people use. In this, the universe will “burn out”, as will the stars. The unconscious model is one of death and decline, neutrality and eventually eternal peace. It seems to be massively popular amoungst the intellectuals. A living model of the universe, to me, seems much more logical. The universe cannot be recreated by humans. It is very difficult. It requires living.

Sounds pretty on target to me.

6

Cool. I’m guessing you a fellow moralist. Your paradigm is different than my own, but I think you want progress and harmony.
One of the nice things about the world is that you can do a lot of positive things. Even if it is not all the same.
My ideas are not conformist.

7

Just from rummaging through more of your posts, it seems that your “paradigm” and mine are actually very similar. The distinction that stands out to me is almost entirely one of precision vs contradiction. But you have raised a great many topics all at once, and I could comment on just about all of them suggesting merely more precision rather than any substantial contradiction. But then again, I wouldn’t know where to begin. :sunglasses:

8

Start small, I can wait. I look forward to learning more about your ideas.

At a different forum I was reading a little bit at, I came across an argument for God which was new to me. It goes something like this:
A universe alone, dead, unconscious, automatic, has less chances of existing or being created,
when compared to a universe that has a god-like force helping it to form and grow.
The god-like force could be a single creator, or many higher beings.
Because an assisted universe is more likely and more easy than a lone dead universe,
that likelihood makes the possibility of gods or God sufficient to consider, or possible.

This is not about proving the christian god, or any religious god.
The argument is for assisted creation. Or, my own version of what I heard is.

Personally I think the universe doesn’t get much help, maybe a little bit.
But I can’t pretend to know that there is no super god beings maintaining reality.

10

That is almost a phenomenologically valid argument. You just have to change ‘assiated’ into ‘self assisting’.

The universe is definitely not neutral. There isnt a trace of neutrality in it.

11

Agreed. But it also seems to take a long time to get things done. Light-years.

12

There is a rather large mountain between common understandings and my own. I can see the correlations, but it isn’t so easy from inside their clouds of noise.

My personal take on it all:

In the pic, I am not the person sitting. If you look at the far right baseboard, there is a dark triangle. That is part of my foot as I am walking away after putting the writing on the wall.

What you could call my “Philosophy for living” is in my signature;
“Clarify, Verify, Instill, and Reinforce the Perception of Hopes and Threats unto Anentropic Harmony” :sunglasses:

But despite how foreign that all might seem, it amounts to pretty much the same results as what you have described. I just have it reduced into its abstract essentials. To me, physics, psychology, sociology, economics, religion, government, ethics, science, and philosophy are all really the same thing. The clouds of noise merely make them seem different to the people in those clouds. Rational Metaphysics is all about removing the clouds. Affectance Ontology is about how to do what can be done about it - and how not to.

13

Your harmony - noise paradigm, if I were to reword it in my own terms, would be the valuable and the non valuable. Who needs noise? But we do need harmony, and some of the facts.

14

“Some of the facts”??

15

Yes, some knowledge is unnecessary.

16

Hi Dan.

Gnostic Christians like me would have no problem with you internalizing your own religious or spiritual views. We endorse that method of enlightenment regardless of what belief as person has. We see us all with a touch of God within us and that is the only place to find God. Jesus’ message was exactly what you have done but that message is not taught by the churches.

Regards
DL

17

we have more than a touch of god in us…god runs all through us from top to bottom…and god is in all life…my dog has god in him…

18

We do not quite share the same definition of God but I have no problem with your view. It is better and likely more true than the Christian Man/God in sky one.

Regards
DL

19

That’s a bit of a surprise. I don’t know squat about gnostic. I read parts of texts that the bible didn’t include. That was long ago.

It seems I cannot edit my earliest posts, so I will add this part: (extra content from the legend and myth category)

[5] : Formic Waves :
Formic waves are considered one of the great keys of all creation. They resonate across all of the worlds. Formic waves occur when creation, as a whole, pulses. The waves shape the universe, very slowly, but steadily. They are the reason why there are human looking races in other realms, and on other planets. This is why nature is so redundant. Even light years away, there are similar stars, similar forces. Redundancy is caused by these formic waves. I’m not believing in this 100%, but in the passed it seemed like useful information.

[6] : The Twin Thrones :
This is entirely a vision and I am certain it is imperfect, but I would like to describe it as some may find it inspiring. The throne of light, order, positivity, etc. is not at war with the throne of chaos, shadows, and negation. Above the equator exists a sphere of many lights and beaming creative emotions. Many more emotions than humans can feel or understand. We do not have the organs for it. The sphere of light is at the center of a huge colosseum shaped formation. In the colosseum rows are the ancient ‘angels’ which are constantly being taught and guided by the core-light. In a sphere around the light at its base, is a row of symbols and eyes which represent all-ness. The throne of light has no center, but exists as an infinite, and no matter what height you reach, there will always be a higher and a lower, but it is beyond oneness, therefor it has no center. Also the light is of a feminine or mothering love, even though it has no sexual gender. The second throne has churning figures wearing deep dark capes. The whole of it is ever changing and like a “storm”. It is a never ending set of atmospheres. It is less fancy than the throne of light, but equally dynamic and vast. The twin gods, they are beyond a name. They are also beyond form. They have no single ego or isolated stereotypes. They are far far beyond language and specification. Each of the thrones, due to its transcendent nature, is always attainable. The doors of heaven are always open. It is so vast and integrated that you can’t miss it. But as I said, it will always have higher levels you may move up in. – The twin thrones are figures which are associated with, expressions of, the first substances. They are non religious gods. The more we describe it, the farther we get from its purest of pure and endless essence. Around the sphere are layers of elemental kings and princes. Each of these are spectacular as well.

A side note : many worlds are not in the format that equates to images, colors, shapes, etc. And a vision is at times a far cry from the original pure perceptions of our higher bodies.

April 24th, later I felt 1 person may have confirmed my perceptions. I will not yet explain the test. I have too much shame and perfectionism for that. But, what seems to be revealed to me, about the outer minor beings of the twin thrones, is that originally, planes are very fluidic, very easy to influence, very easy to change, and after many years, the realms cool off, solidify, crystalize, dry out, etc. The twin throne spirits are from the creator’s childhood, even though they are also about the future and the present, but mainly, they are from the childhood of the creator(s). Because the physical realm is finalizing, and because they themselves finalized differently and earlier already, they cannot manifest as much in our plane as they could in their own realm and personal sphere of systems. That is the answer I got when I asked them why they can’t manifest much for me, and why they still hold to their belief that they are powerful, and also why they appeared so spectacular to me when I tried to project into one of the near cores. Reality starts out like cement, and at that time, if there are two bubbles of early cement, you can take one part and push it into the other. But after it dries, you can’t. The creatures of the divine fire, for example, were most powerful during the early stages of their reality, then later as things cooled, earth elementals became more powerful and prominent.
