The non dogmatic concept of spirituality
In OIDA-therapy we provide a non-dogmatic, non-ecclesiastical concept of spirituality. This is one of its most important elements. Many people in this world profess a lack of interest in spiritual practice, due to the discouragement they have experienced witnessing the terrible examples and activities done in the name of spirituality by those who have no concern for healing anyone but who nevertheless use the garb of spirituality because in one way or another they see a profitable area to exploit. This is actually an abuse of ideals. If someone preaches the truth, people will come and say “What you are preaching is so nice. We want to help you to build a center of spiritual awareness. Here are some donations.” And later the person who has spoken the truth will find themself in front of a finished facility and will use this facility to enhance their own wellbeing and selfish pleasure. Thus they fall down and discredit the very teaching they had been giving previously.
Maybe they had not planned it, but when the temptation came they were not strong or accomplished enough. This sort of thing happens very often. No wonder many people are discouraged from taking up a spiritual path. Nevertheless, we should not be hasty and throw away our own mystical identity because of the abuse others have done during their own conditional existence. This will not serve any purpose.
Spiritual realization is not an easy thing, especially not in the present age. But moving in the right direction and healing ourselves from our exploitative mentality can help us move forward. We can see how sick our society has become dominated by all the materialistic thinking that is promoted by science, political systems and dogmatic religious institutions.
It is deplorable that our youth should be without a higher motivation, seeking their existence in the use of drugs, violence and sexual irresponsibility. It is time to do something about this. We pray that through the contribution of Oida-therapy we can offer support and help to increase the desire to explore the dimensions of faith and mystical recommendations given by those who are selfless, pure in purpose, friends and well-wishers of all. Only they can guide us in a proper way and uplift our consciousness.
