Good day, all!
I had already posted many titles on these, and some are not finished; I have to start elaborating on a few. The reason for this title is to give a bird's-eye view of these topics, and it may remain as the foundation of all arguments on these topics dealt with in the other posts.
As far as I think, materialism prevails, and it will never end up as a religion, as religion is a stagnant state with hard and fast, unquestionable rules/ rituals. The term ritual itself makes it illogical. On the consumer level, materialism may appear as a religion, but I am sure that the top brass of materialism shall maintain it as materialism or rather science.
For us humans, pure materialism is unattainable and, if at all, only at a temporary level. Basically, it is really not relevant to search for the creator or how our life energy works, but it is just like an itch, or curiosity of our own mind, and most of us succumb to it. In earlier days, with limited intellect and science working on basic cognisance, it was quite natural for religions to mushroom. But today, many things which were once considered miracles are happening with the help of modern science, with the touch of your finger. So basically, spirituality, or spiritual seeking, most of the time is an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sad to say it, but I feel that way.
Now, will spiritual seeking help us in any way? Yes! I may use an analogy from science itself. It is about the centrifugal and centripetal forces of a revolving mass. We can see only the centrifugal force acting. And I had a tough time understanding the centripetal part, and even now I have a very clear idea about it. But I am sure it is a valid concept. Introspection and extraspection are analogous to the above forces.
And another thing is that when we see a tree or plant, with flowers or not, we admire it, and we may not care about its roots, which are the most important part, maybe. But we can not dig up the roots, and it may kill the plant. And the same goes for a building or your house, where the foundation is holding it together, but you can't see it.
I think I have said enough, and the purpose of religion/ spiritual powers is not really needed with modern science working well, but desperate ones may go for it, and it will work for them. Miracles still happen, but not under the total control of religions.
I think I included enough..
