Mindfulness – Meditation – Self-Consciousness – Psychological Marxists
Without goal and telos, all mindfulness in the world is useless. You can sit there for hours, even years, and "meditate" aimlessly. Know yourself so that you know God.
Mindfulness - Self-Consciousness
Why are the churches getting emptier? Although in our time the spiritual needs are growing more and more?
God is a common experience obscured only by stupid rationalism and theology. (CG Jung)
The Christ symbol is of the greatest importance to psychology inasmuch as, next to the figure of the Buddha, it is perhaps the most highly developed and differentiated symbol of the self. What does the symbol of Jesus mean? The love of life. But conditionally recognizing the suffering of dying. Jesus, the symbol of self-responsibility, showed us how to plunge into life and thus into death.
What are we sick of? We have no love, only sex, no faith because blindness frightens us, and no knowledge because we have not recognized our own meaning (father and mother). So we only chase after the experiences.
Psychological Marxists
Modern man has an ineradicable resistance to conventional opinions and previous truths. Today's man is a Marxist for whom all previous intellectual forms and norms have somehow become invalid, hence the romanticization of Buddhism. So he wants to experiment with the mind like the Marxist with the economy. A deadly endeavor.
We feel that our religious truths have somehow become hollow. We cannot reconcile the scientific and religious worldviews, or the Christian truths have lost their authority and their psychological raison d'être. One no longer feels redeemed by the death of Christ. We can't believe. You can't force belief.
Sin is now something quite relative, what is bad for one is good for the other. But how do we get back to God? As always, namely through our selves!
