Personally, I am bored stiff with all this universal consciousness stuff. Many people jump on this bandwagon and just create another belief system/religion out of it. Can anyone prove there is universal consciousness? Really, it's no more of an improvement than believing you will go to hell if you miss church on Sunday. Every time I read a thread from someone expounding All That Is and We are All One, creating and manifesting, growing and evolving, I just yawn. So what if I could become some great god creating my own universe(s), cure aids and cancer, end poverty and bring world peace, and be totally aware of everything. I couldn't think of anything more boring, in fact, I think it would be hell!  |
The "cocktail of beliefs" that you mentioned only prove that there is so much out there that needs to be filtered. With all that is out there, how do we know which one is right? You can say, how do we prove something is right? The endless questioning leads to nowhere. There are an infinite number of questions that you can ask and you can spend your whole life trying to answer them. People first thought that the earth was the center of the universe. But it isn't. That proves that there is a wrong way and there is a right way. There must be a right question with a right answer. A truth which is lucid and clear, free from "mixing" of other religions or beliefs.
