THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT:

CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM AND MOST

OTHER RELIGIONS ARE BASED ON

“BELIEF”.

THEY ARE ALL “FAITHS”,

NOT FACTUALITIES !

In the main, they are NOT based on provable knowledge, facts, truths, actualities or current observation, etc., and it is rather obvious that “faiths” all too often substitute “belief” and “religious dogma” for provable “reality”.

As a consequence most of them descend into “religious opinion” based on unverifiable statements made thousands of years ago by individuals claiming to be miraculously spiritually informed, and whose pronouncements were often only committed to written record many years later by individual “believers” who had no access to other possible sources of facts or truth or verification of the original pronouncements.

As a consequence, even within one “faith” there are often many versions of the original prophetic or clairvoyant “revelations”, Catholics -v- Protestants, Sunni -v- Shiites, and many opposing “beliefs” between the different “faiths”, Christians -v- Muslims, etc.

Into this maelstrom of strident religious opinion step local “leaders” big and small, seeking their moment in the sun or the wielding of greater power over their “believers”.  And whilst some may have been honestly seeking a better way for their “people”, there also creeps in those who see “spiritual leader”as a way of ensuring a roof over their head, food in their belly, keeping warm in the night, and a nice feeling of power.

As a further substitute for factual knowledge and truthful proof, instead of original present time “here and now” scientific investigation of our mental and spiritual roots, we have two main diverging “schools of thought”:

Psychiatry, with its severely limited investigation of the body, the nervous system, the brain and “behaviour”, along with a messy mass of opposing theories, and complete dismissal of mind and spirit - or soul,

- versus -

Religion, with its overwhelming “belief” or ”faith” in, but no actual demonstrable proof of, God, soul or spirit, and often its own problems with sexuality and the misogynistic abuse of the ladies who so lovingly and laboriously carry all our bodies through to birth.

However, it is today increasingly obvious that it is the working COMBINATION of soul, mind, brain, body, perception, behaviour and environment which TOGETHER are more and more providing knowledge, facts, truths, proof, actualities and the realities of life as a human being on this planet, plus our eternal nature as “souls”.

The day when we can abandon “psychiatric theories and opinions” and “religious beliefs and faith” as a basis for our behaviour and decisions – SIMPLY BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW WITH TOTAL CERTAINTY THE SAME FACTUAL TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE – will be the day we stop having wars, criminality, misogyny and insanity, and start really to develop as a humane race.

Fortunately, that day is already close, because we can now see that together the twin religious sciences of Dianetics® and Scientology® are providing knowledge, facts, truths, proofs, actualities, realities and the required full recognition of, and understanding of, LIFE - which we need in order to build an ethical Mankind !

The Theory Of Everything . . . . ELSE

FACING THE TRUTH
OF OUR EXISTENCE 

Whilst the material or physical sciences advance light-years ahead of mental and spiritual research into Man himself, questions about life and an understanding of Mankind have been left mainly to religions and psychiatry to far too often leave completely unanswered or distorted, depending as they do on opinions, theories, promises, beliefs, blind faith and even animal studies, rather than on knowledge, proofs, experience, facts and truth about Man himself.

However, a study of numerous SUBJECTIVE realities rather than just the OBJECTIVE realities which material science dogmatically and rightly pursues, reveals facts which can never be ignored if Man is ever to survive happily.

WHILST THERE ARE MANY OPINIONS, BELIEFS, FAITHS, PARABLES, PROMISES, HOPES, FABLES AND FICTIONS, etc., OBVIOUSLY THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE TRUE FACT OF LIFE, AND HAPPILY WE CAN NOW KNOW WITH GREATER CERTAINTY WHAT THAT IS.

Human beings can no longer ignore the wealth of subjective evidence about former lifetimes, near death occurrences and the out-of-body abilities and experiences of so many over recent centuries.  In addition to millions of Buddhists and the Dalai Llama, men like Steiner & Hubbard today provide scientific proof, which a majority of us can know for ourselves - if only we are willing to look.

FOREWORD: 

There is no longer any doubt that Man is immortal.  This is not a theory or question of opinion, faith or belief, nor is It even a question of proof, although that can help speed understanding. 

It is fully known from wide actual SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE, reported by a vast abundance of individuals and investigated by numerous scientists and others, over nearly countless decades.

Furthermore, it is significant that in addition to the centuries long billions of “life after life” Buddhists, there are also further billions of adherents to numerous other worldwide religions who also take it for granted that - in one way or another - we come from “somewhere earlier” and that when the current physical body gets worn out, we effectively trade it in for a newer model or just move on to some form of continuing or new life - in heaven, hell or wherever !

Re-incarnation is, by definition, the action of again taking over or occupying a new flesh and blood body.   But why do it?  Is it maybe because we want to be able to take part in those activities in the physical universe which as spiritual beings alone we can only observe but not actually experience, and cannot play as spirits because of an absence of the barriers, goals and freedoms of which games are comprised? 

“Rot”, “illusion”, “delusion” or “super-optimism” say the anti re-incarnationists, but whilst those who champion the immortal after-life submit proof after proof after proof of having lived before for century after century, all the materialistic “we live only once” pessimists can do is to criticise that which they themselves cannot be aware of or are not capable of experiencing, whilst presenting their opinions and beliefs with no proof whatsoever of their claim that this current lifetime is all there is.

Irrespective of opinions, faith or belief, there is obviously some “actual” & “real” situation which is THE TRUTH of existence, but, for those who in this present life can believe only in materialism and their five physical senses, there is a total lack of any subjective reality or experience of the non-physical concepts and occurrences of “mind” and “spirit”.

This post seeks to direct you towards a proof that mind and spirit do exist, that that spirit and its mind are separate from the body, that the mind, brain and body all serve the spirit, and that: 

IT IS THE SPIRIT (OR SOUL) WHICH IS MAN IMMORTAL

a spiritual being which has currently but temporarily (for at least this lifetime) adopted, occupied and given life to a new born human body, which union we thus name, and recognise as, a “human being”.

All that you need to know to start you in the direction of proof of the fundamental spiritual nature of yourself and Mankind is a copy of the book:

“THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING . . . . ELSE”.

ISBN Number: 978-0-9933283-0-5

Stephen Hawking's work “The Theory of Everything” has given us what many scientists consider a brilliantly “objective” view of the MATERIAL universe.  But Hawking, Newton, Einstein, Cox and others have had little to say about life on Earth, the nature of Man himself, and especially his MENTAL and SPIRITUAL attributes.

ARE YOU JUST AN ANIMAL, OR IS THERE MORE TO MANKIND ?

Who are we ? What are we ? What is life's purpose ? How can some men be so good ? And why can others be so evil ?

These are questions regularly asked by every generation over the vast periods of time since sentient life first appeared in this universe.

To get your FREE copy of: “The Theory of Everything . . . . ELSE” (which normally retails at £14.99), please e-mail to: keneck@btinternet.com your name and home address to where you want the book mailing, PLUS, (as an exchange, some help from you with our continuing researches), a report of any personal experience you have had of an out-of-body experience and / or any recollection you may have of a previous lifetime or lifetimes.

Please give as much detail as possible, and any witness statements or other proof you may have.

Alternatively, if you have no such story to tell, but are interested in past lives, immortality and re-incarnation, you may phone us on 01342 810151 and order a copy of the book at a specially discounted price of £9.99 plus £2.51 postage and packing.

How To Rid Yourself Of Drug Addiction: Part TWO:

NOT VIA  ANY FORM OF TREATMENT,

 BUT VIA THE TRAINING ROUTE.

To recover oneself to the lasting non-criminal natural state of relaxed abstinence into which 99% of addicts are born, there are three factors to be handled:

FIRST, one must gain full practical KNOWLEDGE of “how” to achieve abstinence.

SECOND, one must again take full RESPONSIBILITY for your body, your thinking, your life and the application of that knowledge, and,

THIRD, you will thus regain CONTROL of yourself, your body, your environment and the people in it.

But you may ask: why “training instead of “treatment”, and why must YOU be responsible rather than Dad, Mum, the doctor, a policeman or someone else ?

Well, this is because, whether we like it or not, life is unavoidably a do-it-for-yourself activity.  You can't live my life for me or anyone else, and neither I nor anybody else can live your life for you !  Please think about that for a moment.

As soon as you think in terms of “treatment”, you are usually thinking about someone else doing something FOR YOU or worse still TO YOU, and that means having a nursing, police or family adviser or “minder” for the rest of your life, which in fact is, in some ways, what got you into drug trouble in the first place.

As a result, the first bit of “knowledge” one needs is a clear understanding of how and why all addicts really do start to use drugs of one sort or another.

If you have a friend on drugs, and think back very carefully, you will recall that just prior to him (or her) starting, (s)he had a personal situation which (s)he was increasingly thinking was a problem for which a solution was needed, and when another friend, relative, colleague or professional suggested or advised that a certain substance would likely be the best thing to take to solve that problem, because drugs in the form of medicines have been agreed upon for generations as “problem solvers”, it was not hard for that problem beset friend to become convinced.

He / She thus became the victim, not only of the addiction creating nature of the drug, but also a victim of the sympathetic, misleading, sometimes well meant, erroneous beliefs of friends, or the bullshit sales talk of some professional adviser or pusher.

So there you are.  Isn't that great.  Addicts are off the hook.  They were a victim of false and misleading advice and of the addictive effects of the drug itself.

Absolutely true. BUT EQUALLY, when you look closer, it was the addict him or her self who made the decision, OR it was the addict themself who agreed to the doctor's advice.

HAD TO BE !

Because, whether we like it or not, we are all living our own lives. No one else is doing it, and no one else can.

Fortunately, this state of affairs gives us the clue to the quickest and most certain way out of addiction.   It tells us that, as we got ourselves into addiction, WE ARE THE ONES WHO CAN BEST GET OURSELVES OUT !

And when over the years you interview or help large numbers of addicts of all types, (as S.A.F.E. and our colleagues have) you find that 70 to 75% not only want to get off their addiction, but that they have been trying (sometimes daily) to quit from a time some three days, three weeks or three months after the date they started. More precisely, from the moment they fully realised and painfully understood just exactly what the drug was doing to them, and that they were trapped.

So we know, from 50 years of experience, that their problem is not willingness to quit – it is lack of knowledge as to HOW to quit.  Which of course is NOT a matter of “treatment” but a question of TRAINING.

SO EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DO, YOU FIRST NEED TO LEARN, AND THEN YOU SIMPLY NEED TO APPLY IT TO YOURSELF.

This means starting by taking responsibility for the success of the drug-free withdrawal procedure which was described in our earlier post on: “How To Rid Yourself Of Addiction: Part ONE”.

Obviously I can't possibly give you the whole training course here on this blog.  But I can give you a general idea of the programme a recovering addict goes through in the 12 to 14 weeks at the residential addiction recovery training centre we work with in East Sussex.

But now we are getting into our next post, which is: “How To Rid Yourself Of Addiction: Part THREE”.

So, if you're still interested - see you there.
