As it is now the age of Aquarius, the epoch of transcendence, what faith should one turn to for spiritual release? I have heard that Orthodox Christianity is making a resurgence.
Should one look to the pages of the Kabbala or Gnostic texts for the truth? I've been reading a some of Rene Guenon's books recently and he talks a lot about the Kali Yuga and the pervasive traditional zeal of Eastern religion. Or are more conventional religions more suitable for attaining inner spiritual cultivation?
I am just so tired of it all and it seems like I am going in circles trying to rationalize this world - is it truly a prison planet or a novel attraction for higher dimensional beings that relish the feeling of powerlessness being stuffed into a volatile meat-suit? It makes no sense! Our reality either burst into being from some kind of gradient descent of variegated laws (which begs the question why in the first place) or was conjured as a malicious simulation whence the original cause is separate. How does one refine their inner soul and achieve a sense of peace and enlightenment as a hairless ape on a ball of insignificant rock in the void of space? I had tried to convince myself that life is meaningful, but it is really a matter of semantics, and I suppose logically speaking why would our world be created in such a way that pain and suffering are necessary obstacles to overcome? Sometimes I wonder why an infinite, all-knowing God would choose to make a world like this instead of a world where enlightenment and peace can be holistic states without the precondition of dualistic sadomasochism, or is it just that every conceivable world is made and we just happen to randomly be conscious in one where horrible maladies exist?
@๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐ is pagan/satanism enlightening for you? You seem to have a vast collection of valuable information on this subject. Is paganism and satanism equivalent or are they distinct? I had once thought that Chaos Magick was Neuro-Linguistic Programming dolled up for schizos but I was naive, there must be some kind of truth to it when every elite worth their marbles seemingly worships the devil. Surely there must be some element of truth to magic and spirituality that I had mistakenly discarded as some atheistic pseudobabbling prude prior. It is incredibly naive of me to think that I understand anything at all when it has gotten me nowhere, and so I implore anyone reading this thread to share our most profound spiritual experiences and your answer to this redemption question so that I may evaluate the options; so I may draw your attention to these three questions gentlemen...

What is your belief system?
- 2. Is this enlightening for you and in what way, how does it enrich your life?
- 3. Do you have convictions in these beliefs and how adept are they at nourishing your soul?
