Abstract

The article "Religion is Dead. Spirituality Science is Bron." presents a critical view of established religion, identifying its dogmatic nature as a significant impediment to scientific thinking, fearless exploration, and systemic skepticism. It posits that core religious concepts like secrecy, holiness, and divinity have fostered harmful leadership styles and societal norms. The author suggests that instead of adhering to religious ethics out of fear or blind faith, humanity should embrace understanding and impact, prioritizing acceptance over punishment. The article introduces Spirituality Science as a successor to religion, focusing on the study of peace, harmony, and union with the universe. This new discipline aims to explain concepts such as omnipresence and the supernatural through a scientific lens, drawing from various fields including history, philosophy, neuroscience, and social science. The author envisions Spirituality Science as an industry that will transform historical religious sites into venues for peace and unity, emphasizing the importance of goodwill towards all beings and the universe.

Religion is Dead. Spirituality Science is Bron.

Religion is a system of beliefs and practices thought to explain and understand the supernatural. In the world we live in now, we have three major religious sects; Christianity, Islamism, and Dharmism, centered at three prominent religious figures; Jesus, Mohammed, and Buddha.

There is a problem with religion and religious thinking. The main problem comes from its dogmatic nature. Dogma is for the most part fiction. And a belief that is based on fiction is for the most part delusion and illusion. This prevents believers of religion from scientific thinking, fearless exploration, systemic skepticism, and thoughts that deviate from societal norms.

Dogma doesn’t change even if peoples’ understanding of the universe and its constituents change. This is the main problem that religions pose to the progressive and change-oriented nature of human beings.

Core concepts that are the foundations of religions such as secrecy, holiness, divinity, and cult are harmful and dangerous concepts. Leadership values, techniques, and systems that develop out of them are also dangerous. They are seen to give chance to aggressive and passive-aggressive, as well as abusive and tyrannical leadership styles that instead would have been based on influencing, exemplary, leadership and mentorship.

You may conform not out of fear but out of understanding and impact. We may not add another thick layer of ethics to our conscience based on religion and blind faith. It’s better to die than to kill, it is better to be harmed than to harm. We need to base our norms not on laws and punishments but rather on acceptance.

We may agree that religion is not all too bad. We may have an idealism such as Religionism which is a belief that religious wisdom is important, should be part of people’s divine guidance, and that it is hard for human beings, to know right and wrong without God ⏤ the collective entity, and its consciousness.

But, religion should eventually be replaced with Spiritual Science. Spirituality Science is the study of individual and collective peace and harmony, common purpose, and union with the universe and all creations.

Spirituality Science may try to explain, the beginning and the end as emergence and future science. It may study concepts such as omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence with the science of global consciousness. Sprit, be it the state of the mind or mood, or some form of life, would also be explained. It would also try to understand the supernatural.

These fields of study would strengthen Spirituality Science; History Archeology, Linguistics, and Philology, Philosophy, Neuroscience, Psychiatry, Leadership, Law and Order, Philanthropy, Association Science, Behavioural Science, Evolution, Psychology, Social Science, Ethics, Mythology, Folklore, Religion, Theology, Sexology and Food Science.

The collective mind makes sense of stored or acquired information using the theory of mind. Thought or consciousness comes from the collective consciousness or the spiritual universe. The Science of peace, happiness, harmony, unity and common purpose are parts of Spirituality Science that would explain this.

Spirituality Science would develop into its own discipline and deliver its fruits through the Spritulality Industry. Churches and mosques would be historical sites and venues instead of laws and rules.

Human beings need wish and will, consciousness and wisdom, planning and action. We need to have good wish and will for all human beings, creatures, and the whole universe, and everything else follows.
