When people are civilized, they should live according to the knowledge of Physical Science. Whatever people think or act should also follow the times they live in.


Student asked 1/4:
 
In terms of science and spirituality in religions, which thoughts and behaviors should people have to be appropriate, proper and progressive? I would like to thank you very much, for being about to give me a clear answer.
 
Teacher replied:
 
★ Living in this world, we must live with scientific knowledge to understand the world. When people are uncivilized, they live by human imagination. When people are civilized, they should live according to the knowledge of Physical Science. Whatever people think or act should also follow the times they live in. 
 
For example: When people were not civilized, we traveled by horseback or carriage. When people are civilized, we drive cars or other mechanical means. We don’t travel by horse or carriage anymore. 
 
★ As for Spirituality, when people were uncivilized and did not understand what the invisible realm was, they believed whatever they heard. Therefore, those with ambition make up sacred things to do two parts as follows:
 
1. Scam people who are too superstitious in order to get their money.
 
2. They command these superstitious people to follow their schemes.
 
★ As for religion, when people were uncivilized, religions were established to help people with too much imagination to rely on religion. When they  pray, it helps to calm down their imagination. When humans are civilized, deciphering all Invisible species, we must live with the knowledge of civilized scientific people. Religions become historical values only.

Teacher replied:
We live in this material world, taking care of material things, which is human need. The invisible world is also called the Spiritual world. It is the need of superstitious people. Success or failure, in a man's daily life, is thanks to the man's wisdom or folly.
