Spiritual Forum

I feel not in the position to destroy anybody`s belief system or insights on the course through life.

Nonetheless I feel uncomfortable while thinking about some applications of the law of attraction.

I feel a need to have some honest approaches taking place.

These are some objections:

# All of important spiritual teachings, like positive thinking, visualisation, affirmation and law of attraction, come from civilized and higly developed corners of western society, and by no means from exploited, poor and socially stressed people. They come from a rich mens world.

# I had that question in a former post: how do you explain someone who is raped, tortured and killed in Afghan, Iraq, Somalia or elsewhere in places of war and violence? Will you tell them they created their own reality, or they have a bad karma?

# Does spiritual teachings need mentally healthy people? How do you explain mentally sick, distorted or retarded ones?

# There is an obvious use of quantum physics in many fields of spirituality, including quantum healing, quantum jumping etc., while only a few understand the math behind it. Anybody firm with time independent and time unindependent Schrödinger equations? With the set of Maxwell`s equations? With differential geometry? How can you use quantum implications in case you have no clue in the math? Because you have heard about strange quantum physics fitting all you can imagine?. Listen: quantum physics is not even compatible to Einstein`s set of relativity!

# Is it always a value of good spirituality having always answers? Isn`t the opposite true - having no answers to many questions?

Whether you like it or not - I have always understand religion as ability to live with more questions than answers...
