Libertà dal dualismo nella Spiritualità Laica - Lay Spirituality: freedom fron diality

Chi sono io?

Poiché tutti gli esseri viventi vorrebbero essere completamente
felici, poiché nel caso di ognuno si osserva un amore supremo per se
stessi, poiché la gioia è la sola causa dell'amore, per raggiungere
quella felicità che costituisce la propria natura e che viene vissuta
nello stato in cui si arresta ogni processo mentale, si dovrebbe
conoscere il proprio sé, interrogandosi: "Chi sono io?". (Ramana
Maharshi)

Prima delle religioni e delle filosofie l'uomo ha percepito l'anelito
spontaneo della coscienza a scoprire la sua origine. Questa stessa
ricerca immessa nel quotidiano dei nostri giorni può essere meglio
definita (vivendo in un mondo fortemente ideologizzato)
"Spiritualità Laica".

Accolgo questo termine come un aggiustamento linguistico per
descrivere la ricerca spirituale in termini di libera espressione
individuale. Le filosofie son gabbie schematiche e l'anelito verso
l'autoconoscenza non ha bisogno di alcun concetto od ideologia. Anzi
direi che il fine della Spiritualità Laica è  quello di liberare
l'uomo da tali ideologie.

Lay Spirituality: Freedom from duality.

Lay Spirituality (in his logic sense) before the seventies of this
last century was a non existing term. It started, by chance, with an
intuition by Antonello Palieri during a meeting in Calcata's "Circolo
Vegetariano VV.TT.", only because we felt the urge of describing a
free and spontaneous spiritual approach to life; it was an invented
word, depicting a search for self, free of bonds, a natural expression
of the "I" looking for his own origin. Unfortunately religions and
creeds are eager to maintain control over man, doing their best to
spoil the natural awe and mystery of life, impressing the need for a
savior and the necessity of external help.

Still, lay spirituality is a fact.

For the spiritual accomplished layman there is no time but now, no
place but here. The basis for each experience is in consciousness and
there is no need for corroboration. No one can give another either
salvation or damnation. And truly speaking there is nothing you can do
to attain that understanding, it is simply within us.
The only hindrance is ignoring ourselves, believing and following any
practice alien to us, in the false hope of getting what we already
are.

Freedom from desires and fears, from concepts and separativeness, from
stupidity and ignorance. Nothing more is wanted but freedom from any
imaginative state different from ourselves, from reality.

Although it is true that everything is made of consciousness, it is
also true that there are different densities of consciousness. The
most heavy are the separative ones, and religions are of course
separative, since they uphold a God, a creation and many separate
individual selves. This sense of separativeness from the whole is the
only hell, cause of fears and unhealthy states of mind.

Lay Spirituality, of course, is also a concept but pointing only to a
present and concrete reality, revealing the tricks of all "cleverly
devised religious help". I hope that all sincere laymen may be aware
of this bare truth, relinquishing the imaginary, abiding in awareness
and presence.

No spirituality for sale or to purchase, no fancies or alien states,
no need to overcome or reach. Please understand. Please recognize.
