THE ANCIENT WORLD RELIGION

Since ancient times, thousands of years ago, when man became aware of his existential situation in Existence, he conceived the Basic Religious Principles (and the Basic Religious Terms of Existence and Life), on which he built all his subsequent understandings of Existence... Basic Concepts such as the Supreme Being, Divine and cosmic, soul and body, immortality and life, etc., have an ancient origin...

“History”, the thousands of years that have followed, up to the present day, have done nothing but clarify and deepen these initial basic conceptions...

Religion is an ancient story. Over the years all enlightened people have simply restated the same Basic Theory. Even the Great Religious Reformers, such as the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Orpheus, Jesus, etc., simply "confirmed" with their personal experience and testimony the Ancient Universal Religious Experience of Man, his Contact and Union with the Absolute, which is his very (deepest) Essence...

So. which Religion are we talking about? For the One Ancient Universal Religion of Humanity... We are all commentators on the "divine inspiration of universal man"... Even the religious practices, the initiations, the mystical experience, the theosis (deification), have an ancient origin. From the ancient ecstatic worship of the "primordial" to the modern meditative practices of Eastern and Western mystics, all practices have the same basic human function, the "dissolving" of the "Spiritual Element" from its lower carriers, the liberation, the "ascent” and its Diffusion into the Infinite Divine...

In fact, it could not be otherwise because this whole spiritual path that people have been on is nothing but investigation, clarification and realization of human nature itself.

THE TIMELESS RELIGION

For thousands of years now, man, through all religious views, religious practices and religious life, has been trying to "rise" above his "historical existence", towards the Transcendent, the Timeless, the Eternal, the Absolute.

The "Essence of the religious phenomenon" is therefore the "Transcendence of human consciousness", its Expansion, the Realization of a Transcendent, Free, Eternal Consciousness, which Spreads and is Lost in the Absolute.

The Study of Religion, of religions, of the historical manifestations of the phenomenon, is precisely the investigation of this "Transcendence of human consciousness and the Experience of the Absolute", some historical moment. The real "history" of the religious phenomenon is the revelation of the "timeless transcendence" that is eternally valid, throughout historical time...

The History of Religion, of religions, has nothing to do with "historiography" that would limit the religious phenomenon to a historical event, to a natural event or sequence of natural events. Such a story is for lazy intellectuals, not for those who want to get to the "essence of things".

Where the Transcendent Manifests, where man abandons time to Ascend to Eternity (within the Mystical Experience), where thought ends in Sacred Silence and worship in Absolute Surrender to the Divine, in Integral Silence, all theories are abandoned, all perceptions, and the Sun of Truth, of the True, of the Real, God rises...

METAPHYSICAL THEORIES

The Absolute Objective Reality Is "What It Is", Timeless, Immutable, Without Attributes... But the Perception of Reality, is a completely different thing... We only have Perception of Reality "from the Point of View of the Eternal". In every other case the "Perception of Reality" depends on the "Observer"... So, all "perceptions of reality" (of all beings, in all worlds, and on earth...) are "relative". They apply to the "Watcher", but they don't apply completely…

If this is true, then all the "metaphysical theories of men", "religions", "philosophies", "scientific concepts", etc., are human constructs that interpret from the point of view of the "Observer" Reality, but are not the "absolute truth"…

All these "temporary constructions" (world-views) serve only to elevate us to a "higher view": to an Expanded Consciousness, and therefore to a wider "perception of reality"... It is a mistake to regard any relevant perception as "absolute truth" and mechanistically interpret Reality.

The "real application" of a "religion" or a "secret theory" always leads (and this applies at least to the "known" religions and philosophies...) to the Liberation of Consciousness from "mental" and "physical" limitations. Every metaphysical perception, in its "completion" cancels itself... At the "Peaks of Reality" there is only Sacred Silence... Silence of existence, Silence of thought, Silence of "senses"... Only Silence...
