Existential Theology Mankind alone amongst the beasts demonstrably examines and actively seeks to understand and quantify his existence. Until he examines the physical, spiritual and mental as an integrated whole, the Question will not be answered. Until viewed wholistically, any answers can make no sense because the Questions themselves are not understood. -- Craig Berry |

My search for my own personal understanding has been the pursuit of a lifetime. Starting in orthodox religion, later in eastern philosophies, much later into unorthodox religion; straying in occult studies and finally finding my own Path has been an interesting journey to say the least. The material herein is to me as real as is my hand at the end of my arm. My reality is one of personal experience and essential scepticism. The concepts herein are from my personal experience and belief. I do not espouse these as something anyone else should believe. Even in the story of the Garden of Eden in the Christian Bible says that humankind was given (or took) the power of free choice. Your beliefs are your business and require no justification to anyone other than yourself. One line of New Age thought that is particularly worrying to me is that which holds that there is no good and evil, no right and wrong, no light and darkness. This Unitarian and Utopian ideal denies the very nature of the Universe and what we, as sentient creatures within it understand at an almost cellular level. Is it wrong to steal, is it wrong to walk up and hit someone for no reason? We can all answer those and many other questions based upon our own frame of reference and indeed, definitions of those acts themselves. Kids know it instinctively, adults know it instinctively and rationally, yet some try to deny it. Should we be racked by guilt,.. NO! Should we be ashamed of a dark thought that crosses our mind,.. again no. Should we action whatever thought crosses our grey matter without social or ethical metering? NO! We know this at a core level. The aim here is to live your life as you know it should be lived to the best of your ability. Buddha is said to have mentioned, "accept that you are not perfect, but never cease to strive for perfection". In other words, you are unlikely to be perfect, but keep trying your hardest to do what it is that you know in your heart to be right. |
