Awakening humanity to the reality of life

by CR (031)

True spiritualism which in our view is championed by a spiritual philosophy called Christian Rationalism, has in mind no other idea, intention, or interest but to awaken humanity to the reality of life. It proposes to give the world the knowledge needed to overcome spiritual darkness which is so damaging and harmful to spiritual evolution.

This spiritual philosophy mentioned above is a school of spiritualization, not a religion and it has neither gods nor worshippers. As souls free from sectarian slavery, their followers have learned to trust themselves, their spiritual power and their will power to fight and win.

Therefore, they are not worshippers, beggars, or chronic complainers. They all know that stumbling blocks appear at every step of life's way but that it is possible to overcome them with the moral resources at their disposal.

This spiritual philosophy teaches that each spirit is a minute fraction of Universal Intelligence in the process of evolution. It also shows that the Universe is composed of Force and Matter and that Force, which drives and moves all bodies, fills Infinite Space.

Force is presented under a common terminology: Force, Universal Intelligence or still, Great Focus. Force is the word used to indicate its association with Matter, whereas Great Focus is employed to mean the Universal Agent, in its infinite conception. They are, however, synonymous, and have similar meanings.

There is no connection between the two terms above and the word 'God' which is discredited by the mean and materialistic sense imparted to it by religious worshippers. It is not possible to express the infinite grandeur of an absolute value by using words of relative meaning such as those of the everyday vocabulary.

Great Focus or Force have been adopted due to the lack of more descriptive words, although they do not convey the full reality of its meaning. Great Focus conveys an idea of light and also of intense brilliance.

The word 'Great', with a capital 'G', means Total. It is no doubt an accessible expression to those who cannot yet penetrate too abstract matters.

Those who are really interested in the study of this transcendentally important subject will find the material they need to arrive at a perfect judgement, by studying the definition of Force and Matter, which are a synthesis of the Universe and define the whole Truth of life.
