Teachings of spirituality (what i am presenting) goes back thousands of years, and pre-dates the religion Islam and christianity.
Spirituality is banded together with religion, because the subject is the same (god), but in todays climate,the world religious beliefs have been brutalized, by so many erroneous assumptions, that it has lost its way.
This is why, i want to keep spirituality abreast of all the religions of the world, because if anything, spirituality is the original true teaching for mankind.
Religion today means belief system, and there are probably thousands of religions today, but there is one god. (how could that be)
Spirituality is the science of the soul/life, and belief has little to do with it.
Because there are so many erroneous beliefs in religion, atheisim, has become a real choice for many people, because they find it easy to see the absudity in those beliefs.
What i am presenting, is supported by the scietific community, and T.D. Singh Ph.D and Richard Thompson Ph.D and Michael Cremo Ph. D are presenting this spirituality exactly as i do, and in fact some of my quotes come from them. I do not want to repeat myself here, but if you have read some of my post, then you know something of what i am presenting, and it is not my knowledge, i did not invent it, but i have studied the spiritual way for a long time and I can only be accused of putting my own personality into it, when i present it.
Islam has one book the Koran, and Christianity has one book the Bible, but the Spiritual Sciences have hundreds of books, and they have been around for hundreds of years, and some thousands, for anyone to take advantage. (but who is looking, certainly not the atheists) or religious people.
Many people are presumpuous, when they hear the words, eternal and atma or soul and karma, because they think its about Eastern mythology or something, and they dismiss it, but its not Eastern religion or Western or Northern or Southern, but its the Knowledge of the eternal soul and its teachings are eternal as well, and they will never change, because whats true for the soul today, is true for the soul tomorrow.
I could give the titles of many books, but i am thinking that the atheists that get in this forum, would persue these titles, and before long i will get a million stupid questions from people misunderstanding everything.
The thing is they would read the books or go on line, with a view to find fault, and then make arguement.
So if you have some genuine enquiry, then i am happy to correspond.
