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

[Leonardo17]

   That’s a different debate actually. Mr Yaggadish Vasudev (Sadhguru) has interesting videos on this. I don’t really care what some old-school religious are saying. The simple reality is that we all have something that is quite potent between our legs and it’s quite normal for it to be so: The next generation must come. So that has to be a compulsive type of urge. So between the ages of 15 and 55, many of us are strictly under the influence of that compulsive power. And that’s good.

On other religious misinterpretations:
 
See how the “true believer” is talking about the pro-Palestinian protests in the West:

He is murdering his own youth for not willing to bow to his own tyranny, yet he sees no problem in saying good things about Western protesters whenever they do something that suits his own interests or world view.
 
In a similar way, many people who project conservative values in the outside are usually caught in sex scandals and/or immoral sexual practices.
 
That’s simply because they have accepted (at a very young age) some moral codes that are full of contradictions and literally impossible to follow (and are based on outdated or misinterpreted religious doctrines) so the only possible way forward for them is to become a chronical liar or even a person with a false sense of selfhood (like it is the case with people with NPD).

Anyway: We don’t go to war with our own bodies and bodily needs. We usually try to accept and honor them. This is something that goes back to the 60’s. It’s perfectly OK to have a body and to know that the body has its needs and urges and that those urges have been pu there for very good reasons
