Maturation errors

Maturation errors

2021-08-19 SH

The Taliban have taken over. It was quick! I’ll raise the subject so it gets its own department. Not for the spiritual, but for psychology. What to think? They’ve held press conferences, promised a lot, seem more conciliatory this time around. Have they matured?

I’m an incurable developmental romantic, that you normally become a better, more sober human being over the years… Of course it can be a compromise, a little game, to try to get the world’s acceptance. But it may be partly honestly known. You are fundamentalist, but not as blindly and hot as when you were a young Koranic student, like (“Taliban” means student I have learned), you “can’ not care like that anymore, think anymore, not the same in the present… Less idealist, more pragmatist… But I guess it’s going to have to turn out…

[…]

And, if you’re going to engage in some newage-newness-bashing… “Development” is central to such philosophy, the great incremental evolution of the soul, and this single life is just a station on the way… Not very much happens, you incarnat like “adult”, you wear a baby body and consciousness is dazzled in some way… (You might even think of my mom being my partner before or dad my little brother.) …

Whatever the case, what’s true or possible, or not, I’m not saying anything about that. But it seems that it may have the effect of finding it difficult to see what actually happens during this single human life… I always think of it as a “maturation error”. You may feel evolved in some more universal, evolutionary sense, spiritual, found peace. In fact, when you are mostly old.

    I wanted to write down some thoughts on “spirituality”… What do I think about with that? What attracts me? I don’t think I’m really interested in the subject in general. […]

    It’s such a big subject, that perhaps you shouldn’t even bother with. A mystery you just should leave behind? It easily gets into an emotional war of positions between for or against. […]

    This is very thoughtful. I myself have great respect for Sigmund Freud, his thoughts on when religion can get problematic, but I do think Jones has an interesting point. […]

    Why is it that so many people within “New Age spirituality” end up wrong & at odds with consensus on – in short – all the burning issues? 😳 First there was the climate […]

    What does it mean to “be on the wrong side of history”? And what does it look like when you are? Is it the Left Party [former Communist party in Sweden] that does not want to agree to […]

    I sat and thought about something. Because of things I’m reading too, of course. How fair, ethical is it to diagnose presidents from afar? And to what extent is it useful? Attempts are of […]
