new 'religion'

The English word 'God' is identical with the Anglo-Saxon word for 'good' as 'divine goodness' of the human personality or 'human nature'… also ‘god consciousness’ or moral consciousness of developed conscience, the source of human values or 'virtues'. Awareness of virtues provides the guide for living. The real understanding of the meaning of God based on trust of human nature results in social responsibility and ability to resolve our human problems. Misunderstanding based on mistrust of human nature results in social irresponsibility and inability to resolve human problems.This is all a function of biology. We are a social species endowed with spiritual dimension of our nature. In order to resolve our human problems, to ‘adapt’ for survival, we depend on moral consiousness or ‘morality’.Understanding of the essential 'goodness' of human nature or 'divinity' of human nature unites people while misunderstanding based on mistrust of human nature divides people and results in conflict. This is all a function of biology. We are a social species which depends for survival on complete development ... awareness or consciousness of moral values or 'morality'. Communion with god represents connection with one's divine source or 'essence'. Each human being is potentially capable of living by human values of conscience… provided that right conditions ( or ‘education’) were offered as individual grew to adulthood.

Concerning the questions about Christian religion today, it is interesting to contemplate the original myth of resurrection etc. on which the institution is built. According to scholars and research, Jesus survived the crucifixion and went to India where he continued his life as teacher and healer St. Issa. He had already spent sixteen or so years in India from age about twelve to age about twenty nine and attended the only university in the world where he studied Buddhist teaching etc. His parables were about meditation and enlightenment and his concept of divinity as the fullness of complete humanity was misinterpreted and so it goes on.... See the websites on 'Jesus in India'. See also Eckhart Tolle.

Deepak Chopra is probably talking about the organized religions in the sense that they have become corrup...ted as a result of misinterpretation by non-enlightened people who had/have little or no understanding of the original teachings. When people's minds are closed then this misinterpretation of the religions makes them obsolete, quarrelsome and idiotic. All religions originate with the same evolutionary impulses. The problem is really people who identify with them. For that reason it is important for each person of whatever religion to reach an understanding of the divinity of their own humanity. This would represent the 'new spirituality' or the new 'religion'.

Education and spirituality... The aim of education is the cultivation of intelligence as a function of moral or 'spiritual' development i.e. 'creative intelligence'. Consequently the transpersonal vision is vital to intelligent education for human development and survival of the human species.
