Religion is like a sign-post pointing or leading to spirituality, but when people get to the sign–post, thy rest and finallysituate there. The majority have finally ended up at religious homes without makingany frank effort to locate spirituality. As a result of the above, religion has buried the knowledge of spirituality in the barren soil of error and illusion, thereby, acting a superior drama to confound its adherents that they are at the right place. But the superiority of religion over spirituality is only for a moment!
Due to this great misplacement, human emotions have hitherto replaced spirituality in our various conceptual temples. It is a fact to state here that the daily increase of science and technology in the twenty-first century has indeed helped to bring religion, especially Christian religion, to the door-post of every home. On the other hand, it has as well assisted modern scholars to question some blind credos. This great effort must be appreciated, but is still incapable of making man spiritual.
No matter the questions raised by science and metaphysical inquiries into the future and even the past, man has continued to nourish his creeds with almost artificiality. This has never made man higher or less in the spectrum of cosmic consciousness. He has continued to struggle for spiritual survival and everything in the universe has continued to ask man thus, “What type of creature are you?” In response, man has continued to answer this question with almost a sense of thoughtlessness, relying on various messiahs. He has forgotten that in the beginning (that never began) was science and the inner messiahs were responsible for the upbringing of confusion that will continue to hunt and hurt mankind in his voyage of spiritual journey.
Man has continued to praise his noble and ignoble works in the field of science; he has advanced beyond recognition to theextent that the spiritual language of the Elohim can be re-echoed in science thus, “Come let us make man (robots orArtificial Intelligent-AI ) in our image, after our likeness”. The obedience of other scientists to this all-imperative call, consummated in the scientific contribution of making robots without the function of “IT” (Life) in it. Yes, man has advanced.
As a matter of fact, whatever man claims to have attained, which is not geared towards spiritualizing his environment, is totally based on error and mental illusion. The true advancement, therefore, is the one made to bring man in union with the ultimate cause: the Creator. This may not be taken seriously because of the artificiality attached in the consciousness of Artificial Intelligent. Man considers himselfto be God by vilifying the divine. Yes, he considers himself higher than his creator because he has the ability to create what the creator has created and recreated. This sense of foolishness occasioned by his ignoble attitude in science has made him to betray the divine consciousness in him.
A wise statesman, whose name I cannot recall, once said, “If we but knew what troubles our world we might, perhaps, fix it. The quandary is that we do not know.” That is true! We do not know. We are still too near our primitive days to know. We are not sufficiently unfolded as spiritual beings to recognize the fact that the cause of our world’s trouble lies in that one naked fact that we are still too near primacy to know how to build an enduring spiritual foundation.
The true knowledge of spirituality will transform the world in this eleventh hour of its danger. I do hope that the ego in religiosity will consequently allow us to open up our collective consciousness to accept this inter-planetary transformation because our spiritual consciousness has fallen further in fifty years than it had gained in eight centuries.

Man is a greatspirit in the universe. The unseen man is perfect, spiritual and infinite. Death, sickness, and sin have no part in him. The real man cannot depart from holiness, nor can God by whom man is evolved, engender the capacity or freedom to sin. A mortal sinner is not God’s man, for mortals are the counterfeit of immortals. They are the children of the wicked one or the one evil which declares that man begins in dust or as a material embryo. Identity is the reflection ofspirit, the reflection in multifarious forms of the living principle love. The inferior rank heroes have taught man otherwise! Therefore, learn this, O mortal man, which is opposite of all material selfhood. Remember that the scriptures say of mortal man, “As for man, his days are as grass, as a flower of thefield, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it grows, and theplace therefore shall know it no more.”
When speaking of God’s children, not the children of men, Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you”, that man in God’s image is immutable and eternal. Whatever is material is mortal. It is profoundly imperative for man to arise and take up his image, which he has abandoned foryears, and live for what he is made and not the other way round.
Plato’s view of man suits my philosophical cum spiritual approach. He is of the view that man is a spiritual being though he played down on his gross element ( body), while Aristotle regarded man as the supreme being on earth, primarily spirit and capable of intellectual knowledge. Aristotle, however, continued his cosmological view of man’s spiritual nature as transcending material conditions. To Diogenes of Appolomia, man is a being privileged by the Gods both in bodily equipment and in mental capacity. All these point to the fact that man is a spirit being who can awaken the seven chakras within him to better his world. The seven chakras in human beings are related to the seven physical senses, which are in tune with the seven heavens.
If everything is based on science, I mean empirical sciences, we will make the worst mistake. In natural science, man has never beheld any spirit or soul leaving a body or entering it. Error says you are a man, but truth and ultimate knowledge say you are a spirit. Matter is neither self-existent nor a product of the spirit. In the vast forever in the science and truth of being, the only facts are spirit of God is, there is liberty. Like the archpriest of our modern religions, man is free to enter into the holiest, THE REALM OF God. Through spiritual sense only, man comprehends and loves Deity. The various contradictions of the science of spirituality by the material senses do not change the unseen truth, which is intact forever.
Today, what is happening to humanity at the present time is that he has chosen to distort his balanced circular orbit around his creator. His free will, supported by his ignorance of his unavoidable close relationship to God, and his awareness of his dependence on God have influenced him to choose transient body sensations, body comforts and body values, instead of eternal spiritual values. The universe is founded upon love as related to human survival. Our present civilization is hurting itself by building its own agonies and ills. It has become physically scientific instead of spirituallyscientific. It has no living philosophy to overcome the philosophy of death, which is threatening the entire world.
In the midst of all these uncanny developments came the claim of a nation as the only chosen people of God. This is not only defamingbut a negation of the organizational structure of divinity. No one nation ortribe owns God unless god! Israel is not an exemption, so also is spirituality.We must strive to be spiritual; it is a must to all children of Adam.
