I have been looking for a simple, clean, efficient system which can tune-up our thought patterns and over-ride our anxiety laden Cultural Conditioning program. This is simply 10 Affirmative Statements to be absorbed by the brain - like a computer program. Say it every morning on waking, or every night before going to sleep, and see what a difference it makes.

I’ve included the video below because the person ranting away about Christianity does have some valid points.

However…

He has missed an important point, and it is this.

Walsch is an American author of the series Conversations with God. He was brought up as a Roman Catholic by a family who encouraged his quest for spiritual truth. He studied The Bible, the Rig Veda and the Upanishads. He says his books are not channelled, but rather that they are inspired by God and that they can help a person relate to Him from a modern perspective. The God in his books, for example, says that “there is nothing you have to do.” His vision expressed is of a New Spirituality: an expansion and unification of all present theologies; a refreshing of them, rendering all of our current sacred teachings even more relevant to our present day and time. He created Humanity’s Team as a spiritual movement whose purpose is to communicate and implement New Spirituality beliefs, particularly that we are all one with God and one with life, in a shared global state of being. Excellent messages in all of his books. Listed below are some of them.

“Imagine if there was a pill that would compel the user to believe a magic bunny ruled the universe, and anyone that took this pill would then become committed to giving these pills to as many people as they could such that others would also believe in the magic bunny. Sound crazy? Well, religion is that pill. Religion is a virtual drug that incites this exact form of insanity, as it has done for eons. The con of religion must be seen for what it is, the oldest and largest pyramid scheme in all of history, that only truly benefits the wallets of the priests.” From BetterHuman.org, Inc.

While I fully agree with the con of man-made religions, the author of BetterHuman goes on to “prove” the impossibility of a god in our universe. He has missed the core concept: that we are all God. The Mass Consciousness is God.

My principles, ideologies and beliefs have changed over the years. This used to concern me. How could I change core beliefs? This would mean acknowledging that something I firmly believed in previously was now wrong. For years I resisted changing my beliefs. It was comforting to find a belief system and wallow in it’s welcoming wooliness.

In late 2006 I stumbled across a tiny bookstore in Bangkok called Aporia Books at 131 Tanao Road (road that runs at ‘T’ junction with Khaosan Road. The eclectic range of books is superb, and I’ve been back many times since.

Anyhow, it was there that I first stumbled across Ken Wilber. After reading many of his books, I can now accept that changing beliefs is part of the process of human development. Using Graves’ terminology, I am now at Stage 7: the Yellow, or Integrative Stage. But let’s see what that means…

Ken Wilber is one of the greatest philosophers of this century and arguably one of the greatest theoretical psychologists of all time. Roger Walsh M.D. Ph.D.

Wilber is an American integral thinker and author. Working outside the academic mainstream, he has drawn on a variety of disciplines including psychology, sociology, philosophy, mysticism, post modernism, science and systems theory to formulate what he characterises as an Integral Theory of Consciousness. He is a leading proponent of the Integral thought movement, and founded the Integral Institute in 1998.

While Wilber has practiced Buddhist meditation methods, and the beliefs of Madhyamika Buddhism, particularly as articulated in the philosophy of Nagarjuna, Wilber does not identify himself as a Buddhist.

I first came across Wilber’s writing while in Thailand attending to my father who was injured in a high-speed car accident. Wilber is a prolific writer, and it was indirectly through his books that this site came to be. Some of my preferred titles are listed below.

Few people have impacted Christianity in this regard as has Fr. Thomas Keating. A Cistercian monk from St. Benedict’s Monastery in Snowmass, Colorado, Fr. Thomas has spent a lifetime in deep Christian practice, and in sharing the fruits of this contemplation with countless others. In an interview with Fr. Thomas, Ken Wilber presents some of the foundational concepts of Integral Spirituality.

The solution to finding happiness in all aspects of life is actually intuitive. However, it is smothered by the barrage of commercialised solutions we are all exposed to.

Remove the clutter and happiness is ours for the taking.
