Is Islam A Death Cult?

Still: Personal convictions are always different. In fact, we are different.
 
One example is the occult: I don’t visit astrologers, I never spent a dime on coffee readings but another famous author from the 70’s is Carlos Castaneda. He wrote books on Native American occultism with the use of herbs to gain extra sensorial perceptions. İn his book he meets a shaman who teaches him the old shamanic secrets. He does things like astral projections, he communicates telepathically, and he transforms himself into a crow (like the tale of witches who were able to transform themselves into cats etc.).
 
So I happen to believe in these things too.
 
Another issue is extraterrestrial life. A straight scientist will simply say that this is not possible. Why? – Because nothing is faster than the speed of life which is 300,000 km/s. So even with a sophisticated spaceship like that, we cannot get to the nearest star without spending 5 years in the interstellar void. So I know it’s crazy, but I am part of those who believe that things like the movie called “Contact” (1997 – Jodie Foster) could happen at some point in our history.
 
So I am basically sharing my own viewpoint on these religious issues because my point of view is that the more “dangerous” parts of religious communities around the world are adapting to a world that is increasingly rational and secular so in many cases they are even using science to defeat science. You must have heard of the schools for teenagers in the US where they reeducate teenagers who have a different sexual orientation because “God says No” and in the end they cause these kids to commit suicide, develop mental illnesses or worse, become complete liars and hypocrites like their parents.
 
So the reason why I am doing what I am doing, is to better respond to the claims of these “dangerous” people. Because, according to some Yoga teachings, we are in an age of increasing energies. So the energy of people who are smart and rational is increasing. But the energy of “low-energies” is also increasing. So they are going to portray more extreme and irrational actions in the future. Like the MAGA movement + storming of the Capital or anti-abortion measures in Poland. Do you know that several women died in Poland (which is a EU country) because doctors refused to terminate their pregnancies?

So I’m ok with anyone who sees mere uselessness in all religious teachings (including new-age teachings). Yet I have adopted a method which involves a particular type of approach toward religious teaching which itself is allowing me to respond to all the arguments issues by these “low-energies” in a much more efficient manner.
 
Just a quote from one of my social media post from today:
Stanger: - You must vote for God, the Prophet and the Holy Book.
Me: - You must vote for God, the Prophet and the Holy Book you S.o.B.
 
So that’s how I’m ticking and there isn’t much I can do about it. Smile

(Bold mine)

Castaneda was a fraud. If you choose to believe in occult nonsense, that’s your own lookout. But don’t believe in it because a gifted confidence trickster told you so.
