Categories Of Beings Acknowledged In Spirituality For The Space Age

By Rebecca Stone


The society we are in today is one that is filled with very many ideas and controversies and religion is a concept that births most of these controversies. The traditional view on who God is is slowly changing and many beliefs are being welcomed Spirituality for the Space Age being among them. This is a type of belief that is mainly inspired by the followers of a new age religion known as Scientology.

The religion is one that has used belief and ideas from different deities that are more solid and ancient and have a well-defined foundation. Hinduism and Buddhism stand center of this belief and the philosophies western religion are also widely used. This religion claims that human beings are thetans, immortal beings who have forgotten their true nature and the controversies go on and on.

Despite all these influences, the founder claims that the church is no different from the faith held in Christianity. To understand the religion, it has been explained in six main components and the top of it being God. The church conflicts the idea of God is one being and states that he takes not one particular form. God in Scientology does not contribute much to the belief system.

The church then explores into who man really is and states that he is one of a nature that is superior and denser than the pitiful mundane nature he has been over the years brainwashed to accept and live by. He is a thetan and serves a bigger purpose just that he is more aware of his imperfections and this blocks him. Man is spiritual and not a true part of the physical universe he lives in.

After the man is the concept of creation which states that the universe Is not a creation of a single being all out of nothing but it is, however, an agreed upon the decision which is not of actual nature, by the thetans. This means that it is just a game of projection that thetans create in an attempt to escape boredom. For this reason, the universe is a result of manipulation by creative man or thetan.

Salvation in this religion is seen as a brainwash that has condemned the man to live into a state of slavery with the promise of heaven. Space age spirituality strives to free man from this bondage with techniques which others term as mind control. These techniques are meant to free man from his slavery and help him reach his true divine self.

Then comes death which the church explains as a reward for the thetan has now being freed from the confinement that was the body and can now reach his true self. It also terms death to be irrelevant at times as it is just another repetition of what has already happened many times before.

The last venture is that of the occult that mainly involves there being the use of psychic powers to help the thetan open a door into another universe. In simpler terms, some just call the experience as one that uses black magic and it is why most conflict the religion.
