Post-Christianity

What you think about life really does not matter at all. And it does not matter because what we will to see in the world around us most definitely does not align with the way in which the world actually is.

This lack of awareness of the manner, and degree to which our egos shape our perceptions of this reality, is for almost all people in modern society, absolute. And in spite of the claims of our entire educational system to be an effort to assist us in discerning what is and what is not verifiably real, it has only served to further entrench our egos as the arbiters of this abstract, alienated, and increasingly fabricated understanding of life.

The self-centred awareness and nurturing of our egos has become on all levels the single pragmatic psychological reality across most of the globe today.

Even among religious people speculative reasoning holds precedent, inherently rejecting the possibility of simply, intuitively, experiencing both the world as it is and God as God is.

Even in religion, the world is now reduced to an abstract concept, a cipher to be calculated, a logical entity. It is certainly not something to be experienced for its own sake...a musterion. And churches are full of people who experience only their own individual consciousnesses, reflectively aware of only their own egos.

And that is all. And it is everywhere.
