Genesis is not inherently “optimistic,” it just tends to feel that way for many people. Perhaps the societal push toward “fake optimism” is what’s been holding you back, and now Genesis is bringing that to light. Genesis is about out who you are and helping you achieve your dreams through that new context.
Genesis asks, “who are you really?”
And then, it helps you open doors you never knew existed. True self-discovery isn’t always easy. What lives in the darkest, most hidden parts of your self? Explore there, heal those wounds and integrate that part of the mind with the rest.
And I hate to tell you, if you’re here, listening to subliminals and attempting to change your inner life, you’re an alchemist. And mental alchemy is inherently spiritual, as you’re working with that which is invisible, something inside you that can’t be measured or quantified or even explained.
You and I are both humans, but the way we experience reality is so drastically different that we could never explain with language what the other perceives. Or, are you basing your idea of “spirituality” on the description given by popular religion?
Here’s something I debate with my circle often, take the following statement: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Isn’t that what we’re all here doing? But if I told you that this came from the Book of Romans, does it suddenly change the value of the statement? And furthermore, who are the Christians to claim such universal knowledge “belongs” to them?
When I started exploring subtle energy practices, mainly Daoist meditations and cultivation methods, I had people “warning” me against it, calling it sorcery. I cracked up. We’re swimming in a pool of harmful subtle energy — all the 5g, all the Bluetooth, all the Wi-Fi. The ONE energy I can count on that I know is 100% safe, is my own. How, in any way shape or form could that be “sorcery?” It is mine. It belongs to me. If I want to purify my own energy and body, I will do so. I owe no explanations to anyone.
And this is coming from a man who reads ancient scripture, including the Holy Bible, every day.
I define my spirituality. It is my inner life. I will do with it as I please. Before you completely cut off the idea of spirituality, perhaps you should define what the concept means to you, rather than rejecting what could be a rich exploration of the inner life based upon what other people are saying.
Look at what’s going on in the world. If all you have is the outside world, you still surely find nothing but more sadness.
Just my opinion, you are free to take it or reject it.
