religion ?
(was made for man, not man for religion)... hmmmnnn
it is simply the divine trying to speak to us, and it being represented in human terms of the age, etc. it is not an absolute, but a pointing to the truth... which is nice to at least have some type of compass or sanity check at times... but it becomes rather limited by it's garment of ages and cultures, etc.
worship ?
(that form seems to have some heavyness with it in this age, increasingly so... it seems to say we are setting something up beyond / apart from ourselves, etc.) ?
spirituality ?
(this word has more freedom to it so far in this age).
the in-bound, unalienable truth, the common sense...
will be discovered in each age
***********
animals subtle occult centers are not ideally formed as they are in man...
yet they needn't be ... the consciousness in animals is not of individual karmas... it is in animals moreso mass karmas...
but they are part of the flow...
***********
We (in human) are very advanced in our garment... it is just that in this age, many have not been able to still the restless outer gross physical garment (physical body and cognitive mind)
to recognize the inherent sustainer fine physical (energetic astral) body,... and onward...
*********
more advanced beings ? or realms ?
different realms are moving like the seasons
thru ascending and descending ages (Yugas)
where the predominant "consciousness" refelects the age,...
(yet even in the high ages, there are some very low consciousness beings,...
just like in low ages, there are some very elevated concsiousness beings)
*********
species is just the garment
just the platform of observation.
mineral
plant
animal
human
devata (angel)
sanyasi (liberateed / free / in-communion / vain idea of a seperate existence has fallen naturally away...)
**********
To find ever-existing, ever-fresh, bliss. (to eliminate suffering, and the vain idea of a seperate existence.... harmony, peace, contentment)... All those things pointed to by the great ones... buddha, christ, krishna, saints and sages...
smiles....
If I were you I would read Namaste's wisdom. I think it might be a little while before you hear from Peevananda. LOL
