Main Components Found Spirituality For The Space Age

By Rebecca Stone


The society we are in today is one that is filled with very many ideas and controversies and religion is a concept that births most of these controversies. The traditional view on who God is is slowly changing and many beliefs are being welcomed Spirituality for the Space Age being among them. This is a type of belief that is mainly inspired by the followers of a new age religion known as Scientology.

Scientology is a branch of religion that is known for its controversies and the founder of the religion is known as Ron Hubbard. The church is one that embraces different ideas from different deities that are mainly inspired by Buddhism and Hinduism and also incorporates different western philosophies and it is for these reasons and the belief humans are immortal beings the church is highly controversial.

The founder of the religion still strongly maintained that it is not one that has beliefs that are far off from those of the Christian faith. The church and its teachings can be classified into six main categories and God takes the top spot where they believe that he takes no one particular being and can be found within. This is not however of the utmost relevance to the practice.

The church a next category is a man who the church believes has a denser and deeper nature, not the pitiful one always associated with him. Man is said to be a thetan who has forgotten his true nature of divinity and he is not of a bad moral nature but he is however just oblivious to his imperfections. He is a spiritual being not necessarily part of the physical universe.

Creation is also ventured in and the believers of Scientology say that the universe did not come to be as a result of being created by one being, but it is a creation of the mind of many thetans who came to an agreement. This then makes the universe a projection of the minds of the thetans and therefore it is a game created in the minds of thetans to escape boredom.

Salvation in this religion is seen as a brainwash that has condemned the man to live into a state of slavery with the promise of heaven. Space age spirituality strives to free man from this bondage with techniques which others term as mind control. These techniques are meant to free man from his slavery and help him reach his true divine self.

The church also ventures into the concept of death in which case they consider death to be a reward at times to the followers as then it means the man is free to reach his true self and has been freed from the prison of the body. And in other times it is seen as irrelevant.

The last venture is that of the occult that mainly involves there being the use of psychic powers to help the thetan open a door into another universe. In simpler terms, some just call the experience as one that uses black magic and it is why most conflict the religion.
