IX. RELIGIOUS REALITY
- 900-928
- "although people give the Absolute different names or make different
pictures
- of It in their minds it is only a dust on the surface ,of a much larger
truth"
THE TIBETAN
- 900 Summary
-
- The back-land of the religions has not been seriously researched at
all, as we know, due to it being declared a forbidden realm. But we will
now learn, how the inner need for a contact with the Absolute, is the only
worthwhile phenomenon of religious reality. And also that Jesus Christ
came for all men equally, no matter what their religious or otherwise beliefs
are. We then look at the following: New Age, divine entities, the God-is-dead
movement and also the forces of good and evil. There follows a short story
from the crucifixion of Christ. Warnings are sounded for Out-of-Body Experience-
"journeys". We learn how to protect ourselves against black magic.
The plan of the Absolute Beingness and the Law is somewhat defined. The
difference between that of BEING or just having an existence is further
defined. Then demonology is explained. A religious experience from basic
existence is described. And finally we look into the general effects of
man-made religious believe-systems on human existence.

- 901 Tradition

- When we look at human existence, religious reality is certainly a large
and inseparable part of that phenomenon. This part of reality encloses
both the institutions we call religions, but not least our religious experiences
and the need for divinity that touches each individual. What we experience
in
- this private way is absolutely independent of what religion we are
born into or without. But the visions that we may often experience in this
way are, on the other hand, more often than not, related to our accepted
explanation by the religions, in the details . How else would we possibly
understand them as such? Therefore they are all part of Gods´s Mercy
independent of the religions involved. And alas, these two, the visions
and organised religion, are totally separated matters. They do of course
not constitute a proof that one religion is right and the next is wrong!
- The religions already divided the paradigmal cake with other powers of
the culture a long time ago. The two departments are the so-called secular
and spiritual halves of existence. And both are happy with their part of
the cake. The two power structures can in this way accept living with each
other. But where there used to be only one cosmology or reality before
we now have two. The two cannot easily be joined together into a single
whole, so we just keep them divided. Obviously, this is the main agreement
within the culture.
