Getting through Life, can be, a terrible bore, if, you do not have, a perspective, on it. Many out there [even those, with, lots of money], don't really, know, how to, go, through Life; they just simply, in many ways, lose, the motivation, to live out, Life, to its very end. Some might know, what Life itself (at its basis), entails [as with, Life Paths], and even too, have, the Motivation/Enthusiasm, to actually, do something, but still, might not, be, too happy, with Life itself [in general]. Some look out, their windows, and even, if, things, are going, well, in their lives, might simply, not, be, too interested, in Life itself [some call it, Lifelessness (or even, Ennui)].
For some, Lifelessness, is born, of their past [often recent]. Their might have been, suffering, of all sorts, that simply, made them, lose, interest, in Life, even, when, opportunity, showed itself [in many cases too, giving up, on Life (as perhaps, not being, too fair)]. Many, seek to be, Self-Centered [or Grounded], within, themselves [and their worlds]. What this, really means, is that, they seek, Knowledge, of whom (they really are), with regards, to, Time & History.
To explain this further, is to show, that, most, really, don't have, a good, perspective, on how (really), Life, is lived out, with regards, to history; They hear perhaps, that, we are, in, the Age of Invention (or Compassion), and don't, truly realize, what, that means, for their lives [with regards, to everyday, occurrences]. In many ways really, they make, plans, for their lives, and even, on, achieving, success [of all kinds], still feel, they kind of, missed out, on Life itself [that really, nothing, happened (as in, connecting one, to their worlds/Times), other than, magazines (and other such media)]. We all seek, to be, Grounded; to be, in touch, with the times, and in, many ways too, live out, our lives, with, the happenings, that happen, in, the world, out there. We don't really, want, to succeed, and find out, that everybody else, is not, a success [or really truly, even that, after success, nothing interesting, really, happens, in Life].
Most out there, no longer, view, their bodies, as, Sacred Temples (of all kinds). The concept, of, the Sacred, is very much, associated, with, issues, of, Powerlessness & Defenselessness. In many ways, what most, hold, Sacred, is actually, often, associated, with all forms, of, Power, and Defense. For many though, living, in a World, deemed, violent, means that, they, very much, fear, anything happening to them, due really, to their inability, to deal, with, any issues, pertaining, to Powerlessness. They even believe, that, they cannot, be cured, of, any event (or occurrence really), that makes them, feel, Powerless. As a result, most, no longer, hold, the Physical Body, as, a Scared Temple, to be cherished, and taken, care of, as they believe, their bodies, can be, defiled, at any one moment [by an outsider].
For most, Time & History, today, are very much, defined, by Sex, Money, and Fame. The belief really, that, History [and even, Time itself], has been, at, their very heart, defined, by all these (sex, money & fame) [and even, the activities, associated, with them]. In all really, they fail, to grasp (and understand), that, we live, in, various Ages, that, in many ways, define, Power/Defense issues, for most. A person, might start, a business, and believe really, that, they, will make, money, all through, their life, and not, understand, the ebb and flow (of the Ages), with regards, to, affecting, their business performance. In many ways, for a business person today, their lives, are ruled, by fear, as they, believe, in a bottomline (profit), which protects them, from issues, of, Powerlessness & Defenselessness. In many ways really, they truly, hold, nothing Sacred [and live out, lives, ruled, by fear].
One must have, a good grasp, of, History & Time, and also too really, from, the perspective, of, their Evolutionary History. A person, who believes, they cannot, run, a business, might change, their mind, on knowing, whom, they were, in a past life. Getting in touch, with ones, past Lives, and also, very much, getting, a good, perspective, on, Time & History, in many ways, makes, even, a rural dweller (with no food), still have, many, big dreams. Doing this (getting a good perspective), on Time & History (and also too, ones, Personal Evolutionary History), is at its, heart, truly, based on, understanding, the Sacred [In many ways too, the Sacred, not only, speaks of, Taboo, but also too, very much, what, our own, Limitations, really are].
Below, we shall show, how, different Regions, of the World, have traditionally, gotten, in touch, with, the Sacred, and interestingly enough, show, that, the foundations, of most, of, the Worlds, Large Religions, are actually, based, on the Sacred.
North America: Totemism
Totemism, is a rather, unknown, form, of, Religious worship, seen mainly, in, North America. At its heart, is, the creation, of, various symbols, that are deemed, Sacred, as especially, with, good and bad luck [an example, being, a rabbits foot]. Traditionally though, Totemism, has often been, associated, with, the creation, of, various Sculptures & Masks, which are deemed, to possess, some, powers, with regards, to luck, of all kinds. In all really, Totemism, has often, been, at the very heart, of all, forms, of Religious worship, in, North America, and very much too, with, regards, to creating, a, Self-Culture.
South America: Agnosticism
In South America, the de facto form, of, Religious worship, has always, been, Agnosticism [in all, this refers, to, Self-Religion]. Agnosticism, is very much, associated, with, the worship, of, Nature, and in some ways, can be, seen, in the works, of, Mayan Spiritualist, Don Carlos Barrios. In many ways really, knowing, that one, is very much, a part, of, Nature, and also too, holding, Nature Sacred, means, very much too (as a follow through), holding oneself, Sacred. In many ways, in all, Agnosticism, is not, only, based on, getting in touch, with, Nature, but also, knowing it, as with, regards, to its workings (as with healing), and also, evolution (as with change). Agnosticism, goes, very well too, with, Flamenco culture.
Europe: Gnostic Traditions
There are many Gnostic Traditions, know, out there, and one, of the more, famous, is the, Sophian Tradition, made famous, by one, Tau Malachi. It is, a Tradition, that teaches, one, on the, Sacred, and in many ways, in a, rather, beautiful manner [as seen, in the works, of, Tau Malachi]. At the heart though, of, Gnostic Traditions, is the 'worship', of, the Muses [as seen, in Greek traditions]. Beautiful stories, simple, of people, suffering [as with, the Times, History, and even, Personal History], and Muses [in the form, often, of Angels], coming, to ones rescue.
Africa: Animism
The oldest, Religion [or form, of Worship], ever seen, in, Africa [including Egypt too], was, Animism. Animism, falsely believed, to, be, the worship, of, animal life forms (and even, stones), is actually, based, on, the worship, of spirits. In many ways, its a form, of practise, based heavily, on, energy regulation. In its, most, developed form, it is seen, in, Yoruba Religion, with what, they call, Ori worship. In many ways, its a tradition, of, reinvigorating, ones energy levels, and also, seeking out, all forms, of, protection, as with, charms, amulets, and even, Talismans/Fetishes. In all, rather, self-healing.
South East Asia: Samsara
Samsara, is a concept, seen, in both, Hinduism & Buddhism, and is, often, referred to, as, the Wheel of Time (and History too). In many ways, worship, associated, with, Sacred rituals (of all kinds), which includes, Sacred foods, Sacred dances, and even, Sacred dress. In many ways, rituals, associated, with cleansings, of all kinds.
East Asia: The Bodhi Tree
The Bodhi Tree, is found, at the very heart, of, what, one might, call, Secular Buddhism. In many ways, it is, associated, with teachings (and writings), and even, Dances, associated with the, Sacred.
Middle East: Ancestor Veneration
The concept, of, Ancestor Veneration, differs, from that, of, Ancestor Worship, as it, also, in many ways, includes, a timeline (of sorts), to it. It is a form, of, respecting, the Ancestors (in ones civilization), by telling, tales, of their, sufferings (and tribulations), and in, general, the very, Times, they lived in. A very interesting, form, of, History, as one, would be, shocked, at what, has, actually happened, through, History [alot, of the, Afrocentrism teachings, seen, in North America (and associated, with, Islam), are very much, part, of, Ancestor Veneration, as seen, in, the Islamic World]. As mentioned before, very interesting stuff really, as teachings, of, Black Presidents, in, the White House (going back, to, the times, of, Lincoln and Washington), are not, as erroneous, as one, might think them [The character, of, Daniel Day-Lewis, in, Gangs of New York, is actually, the story, of one, of, the most, famous, Americans, of all time (Dolomite, and a, Persian-American), who eventually, left, America, and moved, to, the Islamic World] [His memory though, has been, somewhat, misrepresented, as seen, in the movie (Bill the Butcher)]. In many ways too, Ancestor Veneration, in the, Islamic World, is associated, with, several rituals, as seen, in, what, some call, the Kabbalah (as with really, the study, of, the Pentagram).
In all really, the study (and knowing), of, the Sacred, gives us, the Power, to live, through, Life, with all, its turmoils [as with misery, boredom, sufferings, meaninglessness etc.]. A basic belief, that Life, is, very much, worth, living, despite, what, happens (or even, what, might happen).
For some, Lifelessness, is born, of their past [often recent]. Their might have been, suffering, of all sorts, that simply, made them, lose, interest, in Life, even, when, opportunity, showed itself [in many cases too, giving up, on Life (as perhaps, not being, too fair)].
