A Gnostic Childhood - Gnostic Liberation Front

Spiritualism and Near Death Experiences
You know, it could be all so simple and yet we try to avoid it at all
cost. We don t really want to come to terms with our place in the
order of things. We don t really want to face ourselves and take
responsibility for our actions. Although our actions often have dire
consequences, and we have to face them and correct them in one
way or another. But we are truly Loved and we are forgiven and our
difficulties are taken into some kind of compassionate cosmic
consideration.
We are not abandoned in a cruel world as orphans where we have to
survive through any means necessary. We do not have to
accumulate wealth here through stealing or hurting others. We do
not have to participate in wars and
exploitation. We do not have to mistreat
our fellow beings, people and animals.
All we need is to unconditionally love
and respect other beings, as we are
loved and cherished and respected by
God. And I use the term "God" here
lightly, without much analysis of what
"God" really means besides that it
derives to my understanding from the
term "good." Perhaps in a spiritual
hierarchy of of incomprehensible cosmic
proportions, God per-se, is not even a
single entity or whatever, but just a
term used to describe the spiritual unity
of all that is....? Does it matter, is it relevant to our existence in this
material realm for a certain period of time? I can not possibly see
any value in Religions as such, besides as aides to keep the masses
of people submissive to the established power-structure of their
respective nation and form of government. Religion, in my opinion,
is indeed "opium for the people," as Karl Marx so clearly stated. But
he apparently forgot to distinguish between religion and spirituality.
As clearly "religion" is an all important part of mankind's bondage
and ignorance in the scheme of exploitation and establishment
power, so is spirituality without dogmatic fanaticism mankind's
ultimate liberator. One of my most beloved teachers whom I never
met in person, but who has dictated words of eternal wisdom on an
alphabet-board (he adhered to a vow of silence) taught me more
about life, death and afterlife and about the ultimate meaning of our
material existence here, then the bible or any other source of
religious teaching.
