Religion & Church – Mother tongue of the soul – Catholicism is the language of love and the heart
Religion & Church - Symbolic Language of the Soul
While religiosity (content, mysticism) characterizes an inner experience of a divine or absolute reality, religion (form) remains on an external descriptive level of a symbol system with cosmic perception. Religion is the symbolic language of our soul and heart. And the symbolic language of the heart takes the form of Christianity. Symbolically united and leading to God and diabolically divided.
Religion and Church without mysticism is empty and dead. What remains is an empty shell that only has aesthetic value but has long since lost the beauty, the goodness and the truth. And that is what happens to people; they lose their soul.
Religion is the language of the soul, the symbolic language!
The basic religious need is love - Symbolic Language
Every person has a basic religious need, love, and therefore the soul, the heart, to be loved and understood in its entirety. Only when we experience and understand ourselves as part of something greater are we in love. And like every need, there is a right and wrong way to live it out and express it. If it is lived out in the right place, then it is healthy and unites (symbolic). If it is lived out in the wrong place, then it is sick and divides (diabolical). The tragedy of our culture is that so many people no longer believe in symbolic language, the language of the heart. Everything is only understood literally.
And so they try to satisfy a spiritual longing with something physical, which never works. There is no saturation point for a spiritual longing with physical means. As long as this symbol is not alive as a living symbol, it cannot do its job of bringing us into our wholeness. Only the living symbol unites body and mind and transcends it. Without symbolic language, our soul can no longer express itself, live out its life and communicate. We atrophy and our religious need for greenness cannot be satisfied.
Faith - Spirituality
People look for everything possible and turn over every stone, as in esotericism, for example. But that is just gut feeling mixed with stupidity. If people don't have God the Father, then they believe in everything possible and are very sure of the wrong things. It is neo-paganism. There are two types of people, one who cobbles together his religion in such a way that he doesn't need to change. And the other says, there are divine commandments that I try to abide by. Am I prepared to change for the sake of my faith, or do I change my faith so that I don't have to change?
Catholic Church - Mother Tongue of Our Soul - Symbol of the Father in Heaven! - Catalyst
The Church represents the soul, it acts as a spiritual and material (cognitive) and therefore holistic catalyst to awaken the soul.
One enters the church devoutly, i.e., spiritually and physically, and allows the catalyst to work so that it is awakened into a living symbol. Then it is a living ritual. The church as a catalyst acts like a mirror. One reflects one's soul. One encounters one's soul inside and out. That is why churches are holy and holistic places:
- Rational (Logos)
- Visual
- Haptic
- Olfactory (Incense)
- Auditory (Hearing, Singing)
- Gustatory (Host)
Through the form (symbol) of the church, the true, good, and beautiful are experienced holistically (spiritually and cognitively) and thus as a living symbol. The soul comes alive. The church must be beautiful, true, and good for your soul to shine. It reflects the inner being of people.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!
Atheist - The intelligent Heathen - Literally
The atheist does not believe in a god. That means he does not act according to his heart and his free will. He is a slave to his gut feelings (instincts) and his head (rationality). The intelligent heathen wanders aimlessly around in the fatherless society until he is finally castrated and eaten up by his devouring mother.
He knows a lot, but no longer understands anything and falls into the tyranny of the body (narcissism) or the slavery of the mind (perfectionism). He only identifies with the body or the mind and is therefore incapable of love because he lacks the bigger picture. The intelligent heathen worships the ideology of equality and ignorance. He lacks agape, divine, giving love, devotion. He is not free!
