a. After 500 years of human curiosity mankind has experienced - step by step - painful insights.

1. Earth is not in the center - from geo - to heliocentric worldview (Kopernikus).

2. Over the stars there is no God but stars and infinite space, and there are infinite stars and worlds outside (Bruno).

3. Man and animal are relatives and have common ancestors (Darwin).

4. Man is more ruled by affects and the unconcsience than by free will (Freud).

5. Man and even Drosophila are more relatives regarding genetical pool than we ever thought (Modern Genetics).

6. Man is strongly ruled by endocrine system (Modern Endocrinology).

7. Strong progressions in AI (Modern AI Research).

Remember that all western philosophical and theological approaches are based on the belief that we - together with God in trinitarian implementation - are the center of the universe and the love of God belongs to us...

My approach is this.

I doubt simply an outside world - as if there simply would be an independent being structure outside of mine. With outside I mean the opposite of inside - my perception of all I perceive.

From there I see in all occurences also illusion at work, and so I come to this: I distinguish truth and reality. True is all that happens - whether it is real, is another question.

b. In a process of secularization human reason became a leading tool defining life directions. Humans lost their dependency from God thus finding themselves more autonomous and self regulating. There were some different branches.

Rene Descartes - remember, the cogito ergo sum man - introduced math into mind and nature thus making it an object. An object - different from a subject - is a "thing" you can treat as you want. Nature became a "thing" which is opposite to a human subject. It could be exploited. Descartes is the main theoretical backround of capitalism.

In England secularization was leading to another interesting mind set - the so called utiliarism. This branch is asking for utility in order to minimize effort and to maximize benefit. It is the second important backround of capitalism.

A big impact had ww 1 like a cesura. The old system of order was deeply shaken. It is no secret, what was about to come - a new kind of order related view both of world and humanity. More grades or freedom in art, science, phantasy.

Jung had discovered universal patterns in human minds and exceeded into the subconscious. In art expressionism totally lost it`s links to realism and form. In science Einstein introduced relativism, and Planck quantum thinking. Churches lost countless members among workers, and positive thinking came over the ocean to europe. Actually this was also a result of utiliarism being implemented in the human mind. Humans became more and more familiar with psychological thinking.

A new cesura was ww 2. After this it was not possible for religious people to go on as usual. Culturized christianity, together with utmost cruelty, concentration camps and a-bomb, left their traces. It was a time of coldness in an after war western society.

Here are the deep reasons of the development of quasi religions and syncretistic cults. Progressive cultists introduced the power to create own realities. Paul Watzlawick spoke of constructivism - we create or own reality. It was not unusual, that some people were beginning to practice wishful thinking and treating both subjects and objects in magical manner.

And, what at the beginning of the 20th century nobody could ever imagine, religions survived appearing now in patterns of efficiency and economy. Capitalism has done an awsome work up till the minds of humans. And fascism as a special branch of capitalism. We see it clearly in contemporary days. Capitalism is government sanctioned egoism, and fascism government sanctioned superior thinking. Both are not love expressions.

But they live even in spiritual people by forcing them to ego and power games. And, btw, the US evangelicals play a more than ugly game of political power.

But not very different are the apolitical appearing Esther and Jarry Hicks. Their law of attraction pattern fits perfectly utiliaristic thoughts serving at least a great ego and a great income. There is no political education, nor intelligent thoughts to look through all that shit, like Chomsky does or the phantastic Neil Postman or Susan Sontag.

I feel, even spiritualism has done a great demage on human education, because it failed people to help looking through patterns in the backround. Anyway, I felt a need to mention it. Spiritual people need to wake up also to really see, what is going on instead of always talking from "light and love". No, there is actually lots of shit and stupidity and lack of real love, which all shall be hidden from humans eyes in order to make them sheeple and slaves. And such status quo is really not worth living...
