About this ebook
Is there a difference between religion and spirituality? Yes, certainly, yet when you study it closely, you find it similar to the difference between all religions, all spiritual schools of thought, and all ideologies in general. But are religion and spirituality ideologies? Are they only sets of beliefs, or they contain higher knowledge, even in an equal amount? There is a continuous debate in this area, as what religion is true or what spiritual school of thought is better, or if it is better to be part of a religion or a school of thought. Yet what we seek throughout this study is to avoid all debates, only to be able to find all answers from a comprehensive perspective. What is religion? What is spirituality? What is the difference between religion and spirituality? And what exactly is meaningful to consider in both religion and spirituality from a higher perspective?
It is important to form a cognitive model capable to sustain both religion and spirituality in a single study and explanation, and this is exactly what this book does. Yet it feels impossible, since there is no other study to have ever succeeded in finding the ultimate explanation, the ultimate higher truth in this world, and to do so from a rigorous, comprehensive perspective. Or if there was, then you could finally see the end of all religious debates, conflicts, discrimination, and holly wars. Yet holly wars have material, social, and national interests many times, and cannot hold higher meaning.
But what exactly stops you from understanding religion and spirituality for what they truly are? Are there specific beliefs in this world or in any ideology condemning religion, spirituality, or both? And if you could ever be able to approach and understand religion and spirituality in one cognitive model, how would you structure it, and what ultimate truth would you expect to learn?
Is this even possible, for humans, through the human nature, with the human status, and through the human development, to accomplish a cognitive model for religion and spirituality? Are humans even allowed to do so, to think freely, and to use their reasoning in order to understand religion and spirituality? Wasn’t this how the famous first couple got in trouble, by attempting to distinguish between good and evil on their own, in order to gain their own authority, control, management, and therefore freedom? And yet, isn’t freedom the most treasured human achievement?
Throughout this book, we model the human condition, meaning, and experience here and in the wider world, explaining everything related to your wider existence, higher self, and higher meaning in life and in the wider world, in order to achieve a true understanding, a spiritual pathway, and a harmonious development and fulfillment in life and in the wider world.

About the Author
1 Religion or Spirituality
Is there a difference between religion and spirituality? Yes, certainly, yet when you study it closely, you find it similar to the difference between all religions, all spiritual schools of thought, and all ideologies in general. But are religion and spirituality ideologies? Are they only sets of beliefs, or they contain higher knowledge, even in an equal amount? There is a continuous debate in this area, as what religion is true or what spiritual school of thought is better, or if it is better to be part of a religion or a school of thought. Yet what we seek throughout this study is to avoid all debates, only to be able to find all answers from a comprehensive perspective. What is religion? What is spirituality? What is the difference between religion and spirituality? And what exactly is meaningful to consider in both religion and spirituality from a higher perspective?
It is important to form a cognitive model capable to sustain both religion and spirituality in a single study and explanation, and this is exactly what this book does. Yet it feels impossible, since there is no other study to have ever succeeded in finding the ultimate explanation, the ultimate higher truth in this world, and to do so from a rigorous, comprehensive perspective. Or if there was, then you could finally see the end of all religious debates, conflicts, discrimination, and holly wars. Yet holly wars have material, social, and national interests many times, and cannot hold higher meaning.
But what exactly stops you from understanding religion and spirituality for what they truly are? Are there specific beliefs in this world or in any ideology condemning religion, spirituality, or both? And if you could ever be able to approach and understand religion and spirituality in one cognitive model, how would you structure it, and what ultimate truth would you expect to learn?
Is this even possible, for humans, through the human nature, with the human status, and through the human development, to accomplish a cognitive model for religion and spirituality? Are humans even allowed to do so, to think freely, and to use their reasoning in order to understand religion and spirituality? Wasn’t this how the famous first couple got in trouble, by attempting to distinguish between good and evil on their own, in order to gain their own authority, control, management, and therefore freedom? And yet, isn’t freedom the most treasured human achievement?
Throughout this book, we model the human condition, meaning, and experience here and in the wider world, explaining everything related to your wider existence, higher self, and higher meaning in life and in the wider world, in order to achieve a true understanding, a spiritual pathway, and a harmonious development and fulfillment in life and in the wider world.
To be very precise, in the seventh day of creation, the Creator allowed humans the freedom to live life freely in this world, as needed. Specifying that humans have freedom even above all animals, with the human freedom or human status standing above animal freedom and animal status. And this includes freedom of fulfillment of all needs, which includes freedom of behavior and freedom of thought, which includes freedom from any earthly authority, which includes the freedom to distinguish and therefore to decide between good and bad on their own. We highlight here the difference between earthly authority and higher authority, making the Creator supreme, always holding his supreme higher authority over humans and over his entire creation.
And this is a higher accurate fact, it is not only a belief, and therefore it cannot be debatable. Which means that humans do not have to bow to earthly authority, humans do not have to brand themselves, while this is freedom, or at least it is freedom here on Earth. And even in the higher environment, humans do not have to bow to other authority other than the Divine authority, which is the authority of the Creator himself. This is why the Creator is supreme, and this is why eventual higher beings remain jealous of man, incapable to exploit man, by Divine law.
However, all laws are always contorted here on Earth and in the higher worlds and realities, and this is the problem, just look around to see it yourself. Since this is the difference between the accurate and the believed, as only the believed is consensual and can be contorted, which is not the case with the accurate, since the accurate is unique.
This higher accurate truth, the human freedom and the human high status, is contorted throughout many religions, schools of thought, ideologies, and jurisdictions of Earth, while it is always a higher accurate truth, and you cannot change it. Furthermore, all earthly human ideological and juridical authorities disregard, ignore, and therefore overrule the Divine, which is a sin in itself.
Should you still be allowed to use your own reasoning now, to understand religion and spirituality for what they truly are? Do you still have the freedom to do so? Your life and your lifestyle are your own choice, but are they really? Because if there are consequences related to the manner in which you use your own beliefs, in which you think your own thoughts, and in which you live your own life, then you should never make one step in life without permission from your authorities. And there are many people living life in this manner today, not through their own authority, but through authorities coming from the outside, from above them in society, many times from entire social hierarchies, living life in this manner not on their own behalf, but on the behalf of those above. And when this is the case with the majority of people, then they certainly form strong social hierarchies, and now this is the human society. Yes, people pray to people, and this is the current human ideology.
Because it is never a question of you being capable of reasoning and understand higher truth in this world, since while living your life in bondage and servitude here on Earth, it is always a matter of you being or not allowed to find and use this higher knowledge throughout life, or to find and join the true religion, or to approach and follow your own spiritual journey, or to find, develop, and join the higher side of your cognitive system, to learn the higher truth, and to develop your higher abilities.
To be very specific, this is exactly the point where beliefs and accurate facts differentiate. While you may choose one or the other, since you cannot have them both. Because beliefs of all forms, as religious, national, racial, cultural, social, political, traditional, scientific, and spiritual are consensual conditions of the first level, meant to guide you minutely and guard you tightly toward a very well defined and very limited lifestyle and behavior, many times involving continuous dependency and servitude. While accurate facts, true knowledge, and intelligent reasoning are meant to offer and assure your success and freedom throughout third level intelligent human conditions, at the intelligent human level.
Which one exactly is your case? Everything depends on the status that you have in this world, which you choose yourself or that others have assigned for you probably since birth. Since in the higher and outside world, just because you happen to be human, it does not mean that you have a human status. And this is the case because humans are not born consciously intelligent, but they gain their conscious intelligent human development throughout life, if they ever manage to do so, while this detail is used now to contort the human higher status away from the intentions of our Creator.
The Creator gave all humans a human status on Earth and in the higher worlds, yet this is contorted here on Earth and higher above by anyone and anything disregarding the Creator himself. Yet you do not have to agree with anyone else but the Creator. Even more, by agreeing with anyone else and anything else but the Creator, you disregard the Creator, and this is a sin. Yet as you study ideologies and jurisdictions, you find some people bowing to anyone else and anything else but the Creator.
And if this is the first time when you consider the concept of human development and human status here and in a wider world, then expect your status to be very low, of the first consensual level, or of the zero addiction level, or if not, of the second animal level. Because anyone in possession of genuine higher knowledge of higher laws will always be eager to assign to you a status of a lower level, only to be able to claim you as property, just the way you are capable today to claim as property plants and wild or domestic animals, since these have a lower status than you in this world.
And if this is the case, then beware, because the eventual
