The Human Religion and Spirituality Valentin Matcas

Is there a difference between religion and spirituality? Yes certainly, yet when you study it closely, you find the same difference as between any ideology, or between any type of religion, or between any spiritual school of thought. But are religion and spirituality ideologies? Are they only sets of beliefs, or they all contain higher knowledge, even in an equal amount? There is a continuous debate in this area, as what religion is true, or what spiritual school of thought is better, or if it is better to be part of a religion or a school of thought. Yet what we seek throughout this study is to avoid all debates, only to be able to find the true answer, from a comprehensive perspective. What is religion? What is spirituality? What is the difference between religion and spirituality? And what exactly is meaningful to consider in both religion and spirituality, from a higher perspective?

It is interesting indeed to form a cognitive model capable to sustain both religion and spirituality, in a single study and explanation, and this is exactly what this book does. It feels impossible, just because there is no other study to have ever succeeded in finding the ultimate explanation, the ultimate higher truth in the world, and to do so from a rigorous, comprehensive perspective. Or if there were, then you could finally see the end of all religious debates, conflicts, discrimination, and holly wars. Yet holly wars have material, social, and national interests many times, and cannot hold any higher meaning.

But what exactly stops you from understanding religion and spirituality for what they truly are? Are there specific beliefs in the world or in any ideology condemning religion, spirituality, or both? And if you could ever be able to approach and understand religion and spirituality both in a one cognitive model, how would you start it? How would you design and develop it? How would you structure it? How would you run it? And most importantly, what ultimate truth would you ever expect to learn from it?

This book models the human condition and experience in the wider world, in order to highlight and explain everything of importance related to your wider existence beyond this Reality, related to your higher self beyond your perception, and related to your higher meaning in life and in the wider world beyond your common knowledge, in order to help you trace and architect for yourself a viable fulfillment, development, and spiritual pathway to follow throughout life, and to assure your continuous, harmonious development, meaning, and fulfillment in life and in the wider world.
