To What Extent Can Humanity Be Enlightened In The Future?

Earth has been the center point of humanity's thought and existence since its creation. Humanity goes about, everyday, trying to figure out where its place is on this planet. Most people have their own solution to this dilemma; religion. How can humanity worship other entities when in fact there is just one loving entity. Unfortunately, earth has so many religions that no one knows what is right and what is wrong. I was faced with this dilemma as a child. My parents forced religion on me like a mad man forcing someone to shoot their friend. Little did I know that a life without freedom of religion (or thought) would have been death for me. Luckily for me, I discovered Spirituality; a ship sailing through a sea of unlimited consciousness and thought. Spirituality is similar in design to religion, but it is not dictated by leaders or rulers, or a doctrine of rules and disciplines. It is instead the belief that life is a never ending cycle. A cycle where Souls come to this plain to learn how to deal with conflicts and what it is like being away from the benevolence of supreme love and happiness. That is why in humanity's eyes, Spirituality is a new and vivid approach to the understanding of our higher selves. More and more humans everyday are realizing that Spirituality is a much more logical way of thinking when compared to the vulgar rank and file religions that have existed for centuries. Although, if humanity does not wake up to this realization soon, the current may soon steer us towards our own demise.

Humanity's notion of death is like a sailor plummeting to an ocean of black from the deck of his ship. Once stranded and forgotten in the water he is surrounded by darkness that consumes his heart and mind. A Spiritualist does not ponder such simple sided views like this. Humanity needs to think more spiritually in these situations. The Soul is entirely made up of pure loving energy. As explained in physics, energy cannot be created nor destroyed. That is much the same way Souls as pure energy function. Death is as much a part of life as the beginning of life, birth, is. Death is part of the cycle of life and Humanity should not forget that. If that thought was contemplated hard enough, Humanity would not have such strong feelings of guilt and loneliness when a loved one passes. So much violence around the world is caused by a misconception of death. If a loved one is murdered, some people have the urge to go and kill the offender of their loved one. If the relative of the loved one realized the true conception of death, he or she would know that loved one will be seen again. Why then be lonely or guilty about the passing? Life is endless and infinite, there is no termination. A future where this conception exists is one that is more productive and fearless. I can only imagine a society that no longer dwells in the past, that will be the day.

Just as death may be viewed upon as the 'end', reincarnation is just the 'beginning'. Reincarnation is simply returning to earth from a period of rest and peace to spark another challenging life. After a Soul has completed its objective here on earth it embarks in complete serenity with the Source, or as it is commonly known, God. The Soul is reunited with past loved ones, lovers, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. Just as the sailor returns from a long tour of duty, he too, is reunited with family. From there the Soul is also reunited with its memories of past lives in other incarnations. Also, a comprehensive review of the Soul's past life is conducted. This review looks at how well the Soul performed in its past life and if the fulfillment of its life-challenges were carried out. After all that is done and a long period of rest has been performed it is time to begin the journey of enrichment once again. Bear in mind that on 'the other side' there is no concept of time. This concept is yet another that Humanity may have a hard time grasping. Now, the Soul seeks out new challenges and a new way of life. The result is a blue-print which acts as a map when the Soul visits its next incarnation. Incarnation, I believe, does not only happen on earth but in other places across the vast and limitless galaxy. It is quite shallow for Humanity to believe that this entire universe is just for beings living on earth. Finally, with all the goals and challenges set in mind, the Soul is born into a fetus and the journey of life is conceived yet again. A variety of life-themes exist which Souls choose to enrich their Souls. A life of poverty is an example which is very enlightening. Not assisting those who suffer in poverty is not necessarily a 'sin' because they choose that life to learn certain life lessons. Of course, I am not saying we should not help those in need at all, it still is a beneficial gesture. Some of Humanity has, certainly, chosen this theme before so there is no need to feel guilty about not supporting those in need. Those Souls have chosen their lives for a reason. As a Soul flows through this process known as reincarnation an extremely sensitive and evolved person debarks from a lifetime of wisdom and creativity.

Reincarnation is quite an unusual concept, indeed, but with this in mind it almost, entirely, eliminates the need for religion. Most people need religion because they stress someone to tell them how and what to believe in, a higher consciousness. I believe that Humanity has reached a point where that is no longer requirement. Today's religions are too archaic and the irony of an archaic religion is that it is no more wiser than it was when it was initiated. It has continued throughout the centuries preaching the same principles over and over again. That kind of ideology is too outdated for the twenty-first century. No Being has knowledge about what religion is truly right or wrong. The choices are endless and utterly confusing. These choices are truly an example of a vast ocean that has no horizon. No guidance exists that points Humanity in the direction of the most orthodox doctrine. Although, Souls which are noble and have learned from experience have an easy grasping of the Spirituality concept. I believe that Humanity is slowly waking up to the realization of Spirituality. It is as if a global consciousness shift is and has been planned for earth. Although, this shift will not happen unless all the factious elements of the archaic religions are eliminated or unify into a global force that entirely represents pure light and the freedom of belief. Not to mention the total and complete sovereignty a human Being has every right to. A new vivid approach to religion is long overdue. Humanity has been moored to the dock for too long, it is time to venture across the ocean to discover destiny.

With such a tied to thought, Humanity would no longer need to create hostilities among ourselves. No longer would conflicts that plague our lives exist. No longer would Humanity squabble over useless details. No longer would evil run our lives. The only stream to a more peaceful planet is unification. Unification would destroy the barriers that feed racism and prejudice. With the realization of this oneness in mind a global common goal would be achieved. This goal would be one of total inter-dependence. Humanity must realize that it needs each other regardless of their ethnic background or what continent they come from. This will eventually sink all hate that festers itself on the planet. With evil eliminated and a common goal in sight, Humanity would spark a productiveness never before seen on earth. The common goal is what gives inspiration to the human race to better itself. Technologies which no longer destroy the planet or alienate another part of the world will see the light of day. The patriarchal machinations of the past will longer have a negative effect on Humanity. A global view eliminates such petty things a past society once took for granted. Past global events would be looked upon as a catalyst for a glorious change, in the future. With the concept of unification, the most astounding and provocative period in human history could be achieved.

Unification would be a unique alternative to this chaotic existence, yes, but if it is not attained soon, there will be dire consequences. As the days go by, Humanity slips further and further into a black hole where it may never see the light of day again. Now, if earth was not to able to achieve global peace, all hell would break lose. This is, of course, hypothetical but I believe Humanity is nearing a juncture that could lead to the eventual destruction of our intriguing society that has so much potential, still. Imagine, if you will, an event that pits our current archaic religions against each other. Imagine the numbers of deaths that could result from such an event. The numbers would be in the millions! Or, even higher, imagine billions! Someone would certainly be touched by such an atrocity. Bloody crusades would be released across the planet. This time, however, they will be far more destructive because Humanity has learned how to create powerful weapons of mass destruction since the original crusades. The start of these bloody crusades would just be the beginning. Global governments could get involved and, certainly, they are corrupt. Someone in a high level position could take advantage of a most precarious situation and cause even more damage. People claiming to be Jesus or an anti-Christ, messiah like figure would crop up. This would cause even more trouble because the people who follow these archaic religions would believe these hacks. The entire planet would be consumed by a malevolent thought that will in fact reverse Humanity's course towards full consciousness. Humanity has already seen enough death and pillaging. As far as I m concerned enough is enough. This centuries old feud between what is right and wrong has gone on far too long. The aftermath of such armageddon would not entirely remove the human race from the face of the planet. Wars could not destroy everyone and everything. The remnants of a long futile war would survive. These survivors would once again rebuilt Society to its once former glory. The cycle of destruction may even happen again. I believe that earth has experienced a longer past than has previously been disclosed. Society may have once been as advanced as it presently is. Who knows how many earth civilizations have actually existed on this blue marble before? It could be ten, twenty or even a thousand generations past. This cycle of destruction then rebirth has probably been continuing for millions of years. Since Humanity is not at a global caring position yet the generations of past have not achieved full consciousness. How can Humanity succeed if it is in a cycle of destruction then rebirth? The only way to break this destructive cycle is to reach a level of full consciousness. Once achieved, endless options will be open for Humanity and her future.

Once Humanity has reached the dock on the other side, the possibilities of an intriguing, enlightened future will be more than possible. Although this will only be possible with an entire global shift towards the notion of Spirituality. As a result, fears, wars, hate, and evil will all be eliminated from the face of the earth. Humanity will truly enter a time that has not been seen on earth. I know that the divine time where a unified earth will become a reality is soon approaching. Instead of pointing fingers and accusing people for all our problems, Humanity should begin to focus towards an era of peace and prosperity.
