Can there be New Ways of Understanding and Practicing Ancient Religious Teachings?

[Leonardo17]

- Nothing that can be directly observed or measured by the naked eye or any instrument that we know of or even mathematically calculated either (as I said before)
 
   These are more like subtle forces that (we believe) are having very real effects on our lives here and now. Like denial of reason, practical intelligence, logical approaches in the name of our self-hatred that is pretending to be our self-love or instinct of self-preservation. In other words our fear based self or Ego.

That's why religious people need churches/ temples, just like UFO people need UFO books. Religious people go to the church/ temple and pretend that god is real, that he exists, so when people ask them for evidence that god exists, they are out of words, they're like "Well, it's not that simple," and just talk deluded nonsense. I hear the same from people in the UFO religion - they spend hours every week reading UFO books (or websites) where people act like aliens are real, and when you ask them to provide evidence that aliens are visiting Earth, they give the same excuse "Well, it's not that simple." And that's why you write these nonsensical posts.

Their issue is more like: “There is intelligent life outside of this planet” or “There isn’t any intelligent life outside of this planet”.
 
My issue goes deeper than that. It provides answers to things like “Why are these guy so damn stupid” and “What can I do to not be like them?”
 
/ There is nothing in Humanities that explains that type of stupidity.
 
In fact, there are many atheists who also happen to believe in some sort of similar inner-work or inner-journey. The philosopher Plato describes “The little Human” in us, that has to learn to tame the “Inner Lion in us” in order to go and defeat “The Hydra in us”.
 
So I am saying that true spirituality has to do with these universal themes more than any set of dogmas added to a number of rituals.
 
/ I believe in occult practices but what I am described is unrelated to that. That’s a whole different universe (and I don’t know a lot about that)
