The life force

Recently I heard a discourse about how the human body is collected over a lifetime. The food and water and other things that we consume becomes our body. The body is the house where our soul lives. Hinduism acknowledges that the body is important and a lot of spiritual endeavors involves physical activity. In Christianity on the other hand the soul is everything. The general idea is that the soul does not grow or is impacted in any way, except, perhaps by moral sins. I have come to conclude that what we consume every day adds to our life force. We can live only by killing other beings. Our energy to live is derived from the energy of other living things that we kill. In some sense, we add to our souls, other souls that we consume. I think a serious scientific study of the life force is in order.

Transcending religions spiritually

Religions often demand fidelity. If you pray to another god you are typically ostracized or in the very least someone is emotionally hurt. But every religion has so much to offer and every religion has plenty of flaws. The spiritual traveler should travel all religions because traveling is the best teacher. The aim of any religion, we must not forget, is to attain spirituality.

The pertinent question

The fundamental purpose of religion is to answer the question of death. Human beings being irrationally rational needs to find the answer to what happens to you after death. Religion having conveniently invented a god can answer all questions without having to prove anything. The only mantra required is faith. Strangely enough a lot of dogmas of religion is related to your life on earth. If you do not obey the ten commandments for instance you will burn in hell. What I think they mean is you will burn in hell on earth and not after death. No one really knows what happens after death. It makes me laugh to think that if we begin to question the purpose of our existence there will be no real answers. "Why", my friends, is a stupid question.
