It is spirituality a way to discover our human existence based on what others told us, rituals we learn and copied with no research, comparisons, analysis, etc.?
Education is the base for all human endeavor but from all available sources and follow by comparison and ultimately conclusions that benefit all and not just a few. This applies to all life activities and should take you to the conclusion that we are all one. All sentient beings live in me as I live in them as well, coexisting for the benefit and survival of all species.
In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha said that people and images are like puppets. But that was in the past. If it were in modern's time, he would say: people are like robots, because karmic motivations are not much different from programming. In the vastness of space, so pure (in being) pristine cognitiveness, there lies embedded excitatory intelligence, without dichotomizing concepts, lucent, just as in the center of the open sky the Sun’s orb lies embedded. In (this) space, pure and open, two lamps lie embedded, shining ceaselessly. Just as in the great ocean all the rivers flow together. So, in the center of (this) excitatory intelligence, unborn, all that is external, internal and mysterious gathers. Just as in a mirror, whatever is held up before it seems to come there. So, in (this) excitatory intelligence (vast as)space (which is) the openness(of Being), the light of the lamps, never ceasing, is present in lambency and lucency.
And these two lamps are in us and we in them.
