WHAT RELIGION OR PHILOSOPHY IS CLOSEST TO TRUTH? ****this is from 1994
[link to www.transactual.com] QUESTION:
A question from J.D. in New York. "Which religion, philosophy, esoteric school's 'story' concerning the nature of life on earth, spiritual progress, deity, life after death, man's place in creation, etc., is the nearest to the actual facts?
COSMIC AWARENESS:
This Awareness indicates that this question is not clear. It is not clear to what the term "religion" means or what the term "philosophy" means. This Awareness could answer the question easily by saying that the philosophy which is more closely associated with the actual facts is the philosophy which this Awareness has given.
However, this Awareness does not consider Itself as a religion or Its message as a . religion, therefore, the entity may not likewise consider this as a religion, and is more likely asking about the traditional orthodox religions.
Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish & Christian Religions
This Awareness indicates that if the entity is speaking of he more orthodox religions, then this Awareness would say that the Hindu philosophy is the more closely related in actuality in the sense of its basic cosmology regarding the paths to spiritual enlightenment, regarding the planes and the vibratory rates between dimension. However, there is also another level of truth found in the Buddhist philosophy, and still another truth found in the Christian philosophy. The Jewish philosophy also carries a great truth. All of these have certain elements and all have certain areas that are somewhat lacking in terms of clarity in regard to actual truth of reality.
This Awareness has discussed many of these things already. This Awareness indicates the concept of the Buddha as representing certain truths in the sense of realizing that when the Buddha reached enlightenment, he discovered that all others were also Buddhas and that they were all gods and deities, even if they had forgotten or failed to realize their Buddhahood.
This Awareness indicates the same in regard to Christianity. There are certain truths there which must be understood for entities to have a complete recognition of reality in that the Christ being one with God is a message for entities all to recognize; that when one is Christed as a Divine Being, the entity becomes One with God.
In other words, surrendering self to God, one becomes Christed or anointed with the frequency and vibration associated with the Divine Creator. This Awareness indicates there are many distortions that entities have brought to the Christian religion, but when it is properly understood, there are many great truths within the Christian religion.
This Awareness indicates also the same can be said for the Hebrew version of the Divine Creator and its place in the universe. All of these religions have something to offer. This Awareness suggests that entities learn something of the basics of all religions and they will find themselves accepting a composite of all religions in such a way that they are more complete and more wholesome in their spiritual evolution.
Religions that Promote Conflict are in Error
This Awareness indicates that religions that call for human sacrifice, religions that call for the slaying of your enemy or which condone the slaying of your enemy, or the harm perpetrated against non-believers -- these religions are in error insofar as they promote conflict of one religion over another.
This Awareness indicates that this does not mean that there are no redeeming factors within those religions, there may be many factors in the religions that make them healthy, while there may be also many factors that make them unhealthy for human consumption.
This Awareness suggests that entities, in learning what is truly spiritual and divine, can separate the spiritual and divine of a religion from that which is less than wholesome so that they can look at their own religion, or the religion of others, and recognize what is good and what is in error in that religion, for none is absolutely truthful in the highest sense, and none is false in the total sense.
The Path of Sant Mot is the Most Pure
All have something of value, all have something that should be improved upon. This Awareness indicates of those philosophies connected with India, that which is called the path of Sant Mot appears to be one of the purest of the long line of religions that embraces the teachings of the saints, stemming from prior to the time of Christ, up to the present, being pure in the sense that it is not distorted by commercialism. The Christian religion has been highly commercialized in order to promote it to greater numbers and to the mass consumption. This Awareness indicates that it still retains a certain amount of purity.
The Sant Mot path appears to be that which had an origin of a same or similar source as Christianity. In fact, much of Christianity embraces some of the Sant Mot teachings and principles from ancient times, but the Sant Mot path remained pure and in terms of this type of religion, can be said to be the most pure to its original source, however, this does not mean it is based on or comes from the absolute truth.
There are concepts involved in the Sant Mot teachings which embrace spiritual truths, yet there are also spiritual truths that have not been examined or understood by the Sant Mot teachings, the same as there are truths that have not been properly understood by the Christian religion, even in its early era.
Huna: The Mother of All Religions
This Awareness indicates that the Huna philosophy of Hawaii was liberated by exploration of the Hawaiian language, especially through works of Max Freedom Long, and this released an understanding of a kind of Huna "code" found in all religions of the ancient sources, and this Huna code explains a philosophical outlook upon which many of the religions from the past were based and from which many religions evolved.
This Awareness indicates that this, in one sense, is the most pure form of studying the mother religion, if entities wish to do so. This Awareness indicates that the book "The Huna Code of Religion" by Max Freedom Long, can give a good foundation for further exploration and study of this mother of all religions. You will see your religion, you will see the Christian religion, you will see some of the Oriental and Middle Eastern religions in the coded symbols of the Huna philosophy as revealed by the language breakdown and codes in the Hawaiian language.
This Awareness indicates that even this mother religion is not a complete understanding or a complete representation of truth. There are still more truths which may not have been discovered at the time these religions were encoded in the Hawaiian language. This Awareness indicates it is therefore important that entities not settle on just the study of one religion alone, but that they recognize there are many different truths that can be extracted from the study of different religions, different philosophies.
"The Celestine Prophecy" Opens New Doors
This Awareness indicates It is most pleased at the recent release of "The Celestine Prophecy" for it opens up that which may be considered a new philosophical outlook on human expression and the spiritual path for human progression, nor is it based on an old religion. It is more or less an addendum to spiritual life, adding something that has not hitherto been made available to entities.
This Awareness indicates that there is information that has come from works of different people: the works of P.D. Ouspensky, in his "In Search of the Miraculous," and the works of Gurdjieff his friend, and their school of research where they went into all the lands of the world seeking information in regard to the spiritual life, and bringing back this information to share with each other, in order to form a deeper understanding of what is the spiritual reality.
These entities gave much to humanity in the middle part of this century, P.D. Ouspensky and his book "In Search of the Miraculous" and Gurdjieff, each adding understanding to the database of spiritual information that entities can learn from. This Awareness suggests that entities wishing to learn, study these works also. Do not limit yourself solely to the various religions.
ED's Note: Both books of Max Freedom Long and Ouspensky are available from CAC. Please refer to Book Price Sheet.
This Awareness indicates that it is important to study the various religions for what they have to offer, either in studying their actual works or in studying synopsis of the religious teachings and histories, but to study the various religions is good. If you can find a synopsis and have the chance to study that, even without a full study, it will be helpful in a kind of comparative religion approach so that you can see the connections between one religion and another. You can see the patterns.
Much Plagiarism Involved in Christian Religion
This Awareness indicates that by seeing the patterns of how one religion may relate to another, it becomes helpful in recognizing the evolution of the plagiarism involved in various religions. This Awareness indicates that many religions steal from each other and change the names of the characters involved in the religion.
This Awareness indicates that anyone who has the opportunity to study the Sitchin books in the "Earth Chronicles" series, where they study "The Twelfth Planet," the various books that follow, "The Lost Realms," etc., will begin to understand how the Hebrew philosophy or religions stemmed from earlier writings from Sumeria, Akkadia, and other earlier cultures.
The entities who wish to study the works of Graham and others who focus on the origin of the Christian religion may find that there are many direct quotes and much plagiarism involved in the creation of the Christian Bible, taken directly from writings that precede the Christian writings by hundreds or thousands of years.
This Awareness indicates that these writings are not necessarily original with Christianity, but are plagiarized from other religions of the time or of earlier origins, and this means that Christianity was not reported factually as history unfolded, but was a creation, a composite from different religions and cultures to create and manufacture a story for entities to consume.
This Awareness indicates that this does not mean that the Christian story is a fake or is fraudulent or is a lie, it simply means that it was composed from various other stories in the same way that the "Star Wars" trilogy stories were composed from other stories and brought to this generation for its consumption and passed on to future generations for their consumption, and that the "Star Wars" stories contain within them important messages for humanity, just as the Christian story was compiled from many different sources, contains information that is of great value to humanity, even though it may not have been factually reported historically correct.
This Awareness indicates that the same can be said for many of the stories out of ancient Egypt, that many of these stories and events from ancient Egypt became incorporated in the subsequent religions. There are connections between the Christian religion and stories that date back into Egypt. There are connections between the Christian religion and stories related to India and its gods, particularly Krishna, and there are stories of many other saviors who came to earth to help save mankind that have been incorporated into the Christian story.
The Piso Family the Main Writers of New Testament
These different stories from other cultures being brought into the Christian story by the writers of the New Testament, the Piso family, in particular, writing under various names of the books known as the New Testament, have brought a great myth and guiding force to humanity which molded an entire civilization.
This Awareness indicates that it is for the good of humanity that these stories have been presented as guiding influences to help bring about the civilizations that unfolded as a result of these stories, of these teachings, of these messages. This Awareness indicates that humanity is never complete from a single myth or a single religion, but always grows with greater understanding as new ideas and new influences are brought in, particularly when those new ideas and new influences complement the highest and best that have been available in human expression.
This Awareness indicates that in this new era or New Age. there will be many entities bringing forth new information, new insights, "The Celestine Prophecy" as one which adds these greater insights for humans to better understand so that they will be ready for the next level of insight or new information that will again help to evolve the human species into a higher spirituality.
This Awareness indicates you need not think any particular religion has the final answer or that becoming an expert in a particular religion means you have reached absolute spiritual evolvement, for you will always find more room to grow. It is like trying to find the edge of the Universe; as long as there is the potential for something beyond this limit, there is always further room to expand, and entities should understand by now they do not ever find a limited amount of knowledge or understanding. There is always room for more understanding and more knowledge.
Likewise, there is always room for further spiritual growth and to assume you have grown spiritually as far as you can because you have become an expert in a particular religion is folly. This Awareness suggests that it is entities' nature to search for truth, to seek truth in every nook and cranny available, and when finding a truth, to recognize: "There is one; where is the next?"
This Awareness indicates that by continuing to search for truth throughout your life, you will continue expanding spiritually evolving, evolving, and further evolving in a spiritual sense. This Awareness indicates you need not search for the "correct" religion; you need to search for truth wherever it can be found. It may be hiding in some obscure religion or some obscure philosophy, or it may be right there in plain sight and you may have missed it until someone points it out and you take a second look at something you have seen time and time again without seeing it from the right perspective.
This Awareness indicates that truth is that which you seek for your higher spiritual growth and evolution and much of this truth will begin to come to you at greater speed as you continually surrender yourself to the Divine on all levels of your existence. When you totally surrender to the Divine, information begins to flow to you. You begin to tune in to cosmic truths which yield up their secrets to you.
ED's Note: For more on the Piso family, we suggest the purchase of the booklet, "The True Authorship of the New Testament," by Arius Calpurnius Piso, whose pen name was Flavius Josephus, a Roman. More than once, Awareness has validated this information. Please note: CAC does not offer this booklet, you can obtain it only by sending $5.00 which includes postage, to the Abelard Reuchlin Foundation, PO Box 5652, Kent, Washington 98064. (They offer a substantial reward to anyone who can disprove any of their information).
