Generating this type of spiritual emotionalism has become a profitable art form. This is very important for a seeker of truth on the spiritual path.” – Taoist master Hua Ching Ni. One is the right way to follow, and the other is only a psychological pitfall and trap. So, before you commit yourself to any religion, you should develop the mental ability to discern what is religious emotion and what is the spiritual truth. They will have no chance to touch the real spiritual life. People like this have no hope of reaching the spiritual realm. And in their ignorance they fool others too. Many people are fooled by their own ignorance or that of others. It is the manifestation of the impure, heavy, bloody energy of undeveloped human beings before having completed their spiritual evolution.
This has not the slightest connection with spiritual reality. Religious mobs have carried out the mischief caused by the hot-blooded in the forceful image of a spiritual sovereign. This gave birth to all kinds of religious prejudice and persecution. Often in history religious emotion has been exalted as truth itself. “ People mistake religious emotionalism and hypnosis for spiritual reality. In contrast, individuals seeking genuine spiritual evolution understand these systems for what they are: illusions and traps. The primary method or principle for personal cultivation is to keep peace within oneself and maintain normalcy in one’s environment thus you can dwell with the spiritual energy and the spiritual energy dwells within you.” – Taoist master Hua Ching Ni.Ĭomparing the teachings of ordinary religions to true personal spiritual cultivation, Master Ni notes that undeveloped human beings follow and devote themselves to belief systems, deities and spiritual figureheads. There is one way to eliminate all wonder, bewilderment and confusion and that is to have inner peace. The highest goal of life is to combine oneself with the spiritual energy of the universe. “ The first spiritual goal of Taoism is the restoration and realization of one’s own well-balanced being, and then one’s spiritual evolution. What then, is spiritual reality? And what does it look like in a world governed by fear, distracted by materialism, and kept in conflict by egotism? It’s really quite straightforward, says Master Ni, who refers to it as the “ plain, simple truth of your life,” which is best understood as the profoundly important concept of “ inner peace.” This is the faith of today’s world, and most of their achievements are not the true answer.” T hese places continue as superficial social conventions and can only supply their devotees with shallow activities, psychological games of shadow playing, and hypnosis, all of which have absolutely nothing to do with spiritual reality. The spirit of the world’s religions died long ago and left most temples and churches merely empty shells. Even where the teachings of the past sages have been established they have been spoiled by the insensitive trend of the times. In a reading from the book 8,000 Years of Wisdom, taoist master Hua-Ching Ni talks about the state of religions today: “ Spirit can hardly be found in noisy, crowded churches and temples. Religions are failing to provide the help one needs to spiritually thrive in this insane world. Far too often, though, modern religions are mired in greed, scandal, pedophilia and outright terrorism. When in the past ordinary religions might have served to offer a pathway toward spiritual awakening based upon the experiences of their ancient sages, today, the best they seem to offer is communal support. With no clear path toward spiritual evolution, so many of us floundering and losing ourselves to addiction, despair and self-destruction. “ The modern world needs true spiritual guidance and development” – taoist master Hua Ching Ni.Ī spiritual war is upon us and the human being is challenged to maintain integrity in a sea of greed, egotism, terror and fear.
