2/ THE DECLINE OF RELIGIONS

Let me remind you of our diversity, variety, uniqueness, don't try to stone me right away because of my tabloid headline :D. I want to present my view on the issue of religions as such. Having your own view and opinion on your faith, I personally consider it the sovereign right of every human being. Everyone, according to their level of awareness, leans towards ideas that are close to them.

Currently, there are seven main religions in the world representing the beliefs of the majority of the population. The differences between the various philosophies are apparent, although there are commonalities in some places. Personally, I see the problem precisely in their number. How can I discern which religion is the true one and which one to believe in? The sports spirit in me ( :D ) clearly tells me that it's mine, the one my parents or grandparents worship, but if I want to maintain some objectivity, the choice is not straightforward. Their number and diversity suggest to me that individually they do not contain the whole truth. On the other hand, I am convinced that a part of the truth is undoubtedly hidden in them. For a while now, I have been observing how people react favorably to positive situations in their lives, and it seems to me as if leaning towards good (truth, knowledge) is our innate ability. This leads me to the assumption that a moral compass is encoded in people, or allegorically, people react to light and walk behind it (behind good, knowledge) quite naturally and automatically. With this knowledge, if I look at the statistics of how many people lean towards individual religions, where 2.2 billion people lean towards the largest and 14 million towards the smallest, how could I throw such quantities into the trash bin individually with the assumption that they are wrong? I simply cannot, which is why I assume that in any religion with a larger number of followers, the basic principles of how our world functions are hidden under various artistic and linguistic means. I cannot judge whether the entire truth is hidden in all religions, that is, whether all principles of reality are divided within individual religions, or whether they only include part of the truth. If you are interested, I leave this task to you and your studies :D. When studying, please bear in mind that old texts are written according to the language and knowledge of the old times, so it is not easy for today's modern person to find the mentioned principles in religions by quick reading; concentrated study is required. I wonder whether it makes sense to study the principles of the world in this day and age by studying studies based on outdated information? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to use the most modern knowledge when searching for principles? On the other hand, why start from scratch? I think the optimal solution is to compare the knowledge gained from focused observation of our present-day world with the knowledge of our ancestors.

Perhaps you've been wanting to interrupt me for a while now and ask what I'm writing about, since there are such significant fundamental differences between religions that it's not possible to consider the truthfulness of all of them based solely on statistics. Yes, it seems impossible, as there is a group of religions that worship only one God, while another religion has millions or more gods just to be sure, and even if I include atheism as a religion (which is debatable), it doesn't have any gods. So how dare I give an alibistic truth to all of them? From my point of view, the word God is just an abstract concept of a whole (like the word internet today). It's a connection of an enormous number of autonomous units with the same energy potential (millions of gods or more), which communicate with each other and create a common world through feedback, so God as a person doesn't exist (atheism). No matter how heretical my thoughts may sound, you can come to understand their functioning principles by concentrated study of individual religious theories.

Personally, I like to (allegorically :D) compare religions to the moon. Like the full moon, whose light helps people stay on the path at night. The moon's light shining on the path doesn't represent its own light, it's just a reflection of the sunlight. Therefore, the light of the moon only makes sense during the night, as soon as the sun rises above the horizon and it becomes day, the moonlight loses its meaning.

With explanations, it can be written as follows: I compare individual religions to the moon. Like the full moon, its light (truth, knowledge) helps people during the night (periods of ignorance) to stay on the right path (the path of development). The moon's light that shines on the path does not represent its own light (its own knowledge), but it is only a part of the sunlight (general knowledge) that the moon (religion) reflects. Therefore, the moon's light makes sense only during the night (periods of ignorance), and as soon as the sun rises above the horizon and the day comes (all principles of reality are revealed), the moonlight (knowledge of a particular religion) loses its meaning.

So, I say that religions have their undeniable significance in the early stages of human development (autonomous units of consciousness), when not all the principles of reality are known, when we are not yet aware that the world is formed by our common network, until we realize that we ourselves have the potential to become creators of our own reality. As soon as we start working together, the day will come and together, by sharing our experiences, we will discover all the principles of reality. In my opinion, at that moment the religions of the world will disappear. Their existence will lose its meaning. Not in the sense that the principles hidden within them will cease to apply, no, the principles will continue to apply (their duration is infinite), but within a single universal truth, in one common whole, where they will not be represented by the light of the moon, but by the light of the sun.

Right now, we are at dawn, as the sun is slowly rising. Recently, for example, two of the world's leading countries, Russia and China, decided to start collaborating on a satellite internet project, thus beginning to create a network that will be accessible (at first regionally, later globally) for everyone and won't depend on the construction of ground infrastructure (laying cables, building transmitters, etc.). Indeed, this is the future, connecting people and ensuring the fastest possible dissemination of information. The speed of our development depends on the development of new information technologies. Together, we form a very powerful network, and it's important to understand that. It's very optimistic that humanity is embarking on this path. Excellent times are ahead of us, my friends, I'm convinced of it!
