Catholic Church and Child Abuse

How can we possibly trust the church on these continuous abuses.. Why do we continue and keep on being blind about this reality.. That these church individuals are also imperfect human capable of what we label as 'sin'.. How long do we keep on hiding behind this institution, and pretend our very nature..

Unification

We are now reaching the age of possible unification of science and religion; if there is such a thing. So far, Buddhism comes close to this possibility.

First, we have to understand that Buddha is not a deity but an ordinary human being who realized that there is reservoir of wisdom within. This wisdom deals with every possible situation in life. This is more than knowledge or learning, it is a creative wisdom resolving fundamental issues which affect our life. No matter what obstacles may appear to be holding you back, the courage in life will enable you to surpass them. You will also find there enormous supply of compassion that will ensure every action you take will be for the good not only for yourself, but also for the good of the world at large. There will be a store of energy, or life-force; as much as you need to achieve whatever you wish for your life. This creative, dynamic energy combined with courage and compassion means that you can really take control of your life and fulfill your endeavors.

But why this is not experienced by most individuals?

Physicist David Bohm of Berkeley Radiation Laboratory argued "that our almost universal tendency to fragment the world and ignore the dynamic interconnectedness of all things is responsible for many of our problems. We believe we can extract the valuable parts of the earth without affecting the whole.. treat parts of our body and not be concerned with the whole.. deal with crime, poverty and drug addiction without addressing society as a whole." Perhaps by knowing that we are all a part of this Oneness, or Non-Locality, we can stride to improve our society, our nation, and the whole world.

Recent experimental evidences suggest quantum non-locality occurring in conscious and subconscious brain, and functional quantum processes in molecular biology are becoming more and more apparent. Moreover, macroscopic quantum processes are being proposed as intrinsic features in cosmology, evolution and social interactions.

According to Fritjof Capra (author of The Tao of Physics), quantum theory thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe. It shows that we cannot decompose the world into independently existing smaller units. As we penetrate into matter, nature does not show us any isolated 'building blocks', but rather appears as a complicated web of relations between the various parts of the whole. The human observer constitute the final link in the chain of observational process, and the properties of any atomic object can be understood only in terms of the object's interaction with the observer.

This interconnectedness is rooted in Buddhism belief as 'oneness of life and its environment' which firmly places human life as an integral part of vast physical universe.

A grain of sand, a star, water drop, or an individual person, a proton of hydrogen molecule is the same regardless of form. The only difference is the way the materials are organized and their 'consciousness' properties. According also to Mr. Bohm's idea, 'conscious atomic sea, extending out from its sub-atomic reality, all of material creation may also be said to be conscious.

And we, as stewards of Earth should be concerned with all living things. All things are living. All things are composed of energy. We are all connected at our most elemental and rudimentary levels. When we honor the physical things and become mindful of the unity in all things, this imparts respect and honor to the Earth.

And to recap, ponder these words from Gregg Braden for a while: 'the sooner we recognize our relationship with the world around us, the sooner we recognize our inner choice of peace mirrored as gentle weather patterns, the healing of our societies, and peace between nations'.

Why Are People Still Afraid of Atheism?

according to this research 'atheists, they argue, are widely viewed as people you cannot trust..'

religious individuals value false faith blindly instead of embracing universal truth.

ADVISORY: THIS IS NOT ANY DENOMINATION. THOSE WHO ARE NOT READY NEED NOT RESPONSE.  


Muslims always describe Christians as witches; Christians also poke Muslims as evils; Liberals describe Republicans as bad; vice-versa and etc. this always happen and it is happening in every corner of the earth; simply because of the conditioning of consciousness that each individual uniquely called and chose to exist in his reality as he journey to physicality. no one is good. no one is bad either. both are offering contrasts to extract the perfection of what is already perfect. GOVERNMENTS AND PARTICULARLY RELIGIONS, AND BOOKS ADVOCATING THEM, ALL MAN-MADE (AND CONSEQUENTLY SEPARATES ALL OF US), ARE MERELY CHOSEN CATALYSTS ON THIS CO-CREATIVE PROCESS.

they have done what is just to be done, you have done also what you can. THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG, ONLY EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS. good and bad are human invention, subject to culture-time differences. there is nothing to weigh, to correct, or to balance, because everything will unfold in balance and in order.

you know all these things, YOU JUST FORGOT. everything is happening and being molded in this physical world so that you will remember and realize who or what you really are; YOU ARE A SPIRIT BEING ON PHYSICAL JOURNEY. this will always true: time-space may cease, but you are one with ONE, from the very beginning.. to infinity.
