we can't force people to follow a specific path or a religious tradition pretending that

they are the only and unique way to truth or reality.

Naturally, when the cultural components of a specific spiritual system are not shaken at
the light of historical studies they tend to become a kind of standards or dogmas. Meanwhile,
the inner meaning of these local expressions of the spirit which are organically linked with
space and time datas (general way of thinking inside given paradigms) is lost or ridigly
fortaken as a final stage.
That is the essential problem all religious systems are actually confronting. In spite of all
what occurs in scientific areas with their technical and philosophical consequences the
formulated doctrines are preserving their original shapes. That is one main aspect that makes a
person become simply schizophrenic as he would hardly try to elaborate a possible
cohabitation between faith and reason. And here we can notice that the prize humanity is
paying is very high not only inside each specific religious or spiritual system ( which could in
general be geographically apprehended) but also in what concerns interfaith dialogues.
At the end one who is serious and sincere enough would throw away all the fixed forms
which are communly proposed. But there remains yet a third way which is the most difficult.
Effectively, to follow everything in a mechanical way till the point where you loose your
personal perspective is an easy method : it is a sign of apathy and cheating. The second
solution which is to negate even the existence of the soul or the spirit is also a negative
approach because even modern science (quantum physics) are showing far more mysteries in
the core of the materialistic structure of the universe (hologrammatic pictures are designed
everywhere with the same design, a kind of a fractal reproduction of the same nature) .
And even inside ourselves, aren't we metaphyscal beings : those ideas, those desires,
those feelings that each one of us is experiencing while alive, can they be measured by
physical tools ? Are they really pure products of the brain ? And the dreaming state where we
are alive somewhere and could see, touch, speak and get eventual messages or premonitions
about the past or the future ?
Accordingly, to stay in the middle ( to choose the third alternative) is the most dificult
because you would not have any help in a direct form unless you are enroled under some
guru's hands with his own system. And here an other difficulty arises as far as each spiritual
master would model a disciple to his own image and understanding.
What a precarious situation, indeed ! But let us rejoyce : we can be lonely, but we are
not alone ! As individual drops qualitatively similar to the great ocean of spirit or life
(according to these physical datas mentionned above) we could deepen our adventure in the
universal mind just by jumping inside the terrifying void (which in fact is an imaginary
dimension).
When we are armed with dialectics and ethics, each one of us could recall a personal
instructor sitting in the heart : he will take hold of the road mapping in ways not seen before.
Creation is then to begin.
