聽神談【「宗教」在人類世界的未來】:1/3 篇
人類在「與宗教有關方面」的未來,並非在於捨棄,而是詳細解析,
並非在於排斥,而是復興、是使之重啟活力。
人類現在需要做的是,開始解析他們的宗教,
並且仔細審視它們,逐一探索它們,
檢查它們的每一項教義,看看在今後的世界裡,哪些合理,哪些不合理;
哪些是有實用功能,哪些是功能失調的;哪些行得通,哪些行不通。
然後,那些傳統將重新燃起活力,溫和地放掉那些不再有益的教導,
並增加「誕生自新覺知及擴展意識」的新洞見、新想法及新真理。
摘自《走出靈性文盲》第一章
The future of humanity with regard to religion is not about desertion, but dissection, not about rejection, but rejuvenation.
What humans will do in the years just immediately ahead is begin to dissect their religions, looking at them closely, exploring them piece by piece, examining them doctrine by doctrine, to see what makes sense and what doesn't make sense, what is functional and what is dysfunctional, what works and what doesn't work in tomorrow's world.
Then they will rejuvenate those traditions, gently releasing what is no longer beneficial and adding new insights, new ideas, and new truths, born of the new awareness and the expanded consciousness that will be the basis of the New Spirituality.
