Meh.   I thought it was kind of boring.

Me too. I'm a big Darkmatter2525 fan, but this one was a bit of a snoozefest for me.

Well, well, i didn't know that you are an expert in religions.
Can you please help Little Rik to understand what a religions is
and if your brain allow what is spirituality.  
Have a lovely day beanie.  

It's really pretty straight-forward, Rik. If you think there's a God and you do pretty much anything to try connect with it, make friends with it, appease it, or be "more like" it, then you follow a religion. If you think magic exists and you try to learn about and use it, then you follow a religion. If you sincerely try to talk to ghosts, especially using spells or rituals, then you follow a religion.


I guess if you want to get technical, religion is the use of symbols, rituals, prayers, or any combination of those things to worship, pay homage to, and/or gain the favor of one or more gods, spirits, and/or magical forces.


You, for instance, believe that doing yoga regularly will help connect your mind to an ultimate, Universe-permeating consciousness, do you not? That's religion.


I know you think it's just "pure spirituality" and not religion, but it is a consistent fact that people who have religion recognize other people's faiths as religions while steadfastly referring to their own religions as something else. Examples:

Christians are commonly heard to say that "Christianity isn't a religion, it's a lifestyle."
Bill O'Reilly insisted on national television that Christianity is a philosophy, not a religion.
Buddhism is commonly referred to as a philosophy and not a religion (while this may be true for some very isolated branches, many forms of Buddhism recognize gods, spirits, and supernatural realms).
Some people think Taoism is a philosophy and not a religion even though it involves contacting ancestor ghosts with magic spells.
Doing yoga for exercise and flexibility is not religion. Doing yoga in attempts to connect with invisible universe-brains is religion.
Stop acting like your religion isn't a religion.

First of all thanks for taking some time to answer my question.
Unfortunately you fail.
Spirituality is all about to clean your consciousness so you can get at the source of everything (God).
This approach is purely internal and involve a lot of hard work both physical-mental.
There is no prayers, no eulogy of any kind.
Religions come later.
Always after spirituality when the system become corrupted.
From internal become external so prayers and eulogies are the norm.
Suppose your son come to you and say.........oh, father please give me the daily bread.
What would you think?
Wouldn't you think your son is gone mad?
That what religions are all about.
They gone mad.
They corrupted the proper system to get to God.
But there is a lot more beanie.

Answer me one question, Rik:



Do you or do you not perform yoga and meditation with the intention of personally connecting your consciousness with an invisible, universal consciousness?



This is a simple, yes or no question, which should require a simple, yes or no answer.

You won't get very far, Rik usually enters the circular mobile when that question comes up.

Wrong, wrong, wrong beanie.  
There is no such a thing as connecting for the simple reason that you are God.
According to yoga everything and everyone is in the mental imagination of God so you don't connect.
All you do is to realize that you are God and that is not a connection at all.
It is a realization not a connection so your question fail from the start.

So...that's a no, then? You had one job, and you fucked it up. 



Ok, so yoga helps you realize your god-hood, become more god-like, whatever.


The point is, Rik, you use the practice of yoga (a regularly repeated ritual) because you believe it has something to do with you and God (or you being God, or whatever).


Rituals + God = Religion.


Your religion is a religion, Rik. Stop pretending your religion isn't a religion.

You state that yoga is a ritual.
I state that i am Santa.  
I state that beanie is a cretin that judge without having the slightest clue of what is talking about.
Look beanie now i haven't time to waste but one day i will teach you what is the difference between
ritual and realization.
Have a good day anyway.

Man, I wish you knew how words and definitions worked. You act like you're the smartest goddamn person alive, yet you repeatedly demonstrate that you have no concept of how to properly use language. It's like your brain is a big soup of words that just fall out of your mouth with no rules, rhyme, or reason.


Any daily routine performed with spiritual intent is a ritual. Again...ANY DAILY ROUTINE PERFORMED WITH SPIRITUAL INTENT IS A RITUAL.


That means if you're doing yoga just for exercise, it's not a ritual; it's just a routine. If you're doing it to realize that you are part of the god-mind, then it is a ritual.


If you're brushing your teeth just to clean them, then it's not a ritual; it's just a routine. If you're doing it to realize that your teeth are one with the tooth god, then it's a ritual.


Your religion is a religion, Rik. Stop acting like your religion isn't a religion.

Posting to Little Rik is definitely a waste of energy that could be spent masturbating or having sex.
