(4,795 posts)Some call it "spirituality". Some call it the "holy spirit". Some call it "supernatural'. Some people call it the result of neurons firing in some predefined, similar pattern to induce behavior that is beneficial for survival.
I've heard some people feel "it" in church. Its also proven that people feel "it" while looking at nature or observing babies being born. The feeling promotes harmony and community, and I posit that all organisms have similar feelings that promote behavior to keep them in harmony with nature and living according to natural law (if they do not, they would become extinct by living out of sync with nature and creating dangerous imbalances).
Unfortunately, religion has hijacked this feeling, and estranged man from his innate bond with nature. Then science has laughed at religion, and attempted to invalidate this beneficial instinct, leaving us without a real path forward. Throughout this time, the occult has tried to tap into this, suggesting "something more" has to do with unprovable spirits. Meanwhile, our very innate drive to simply live in harmony with nature and each other falls by the wayside to kookery and skeptics alike.
That is why our world is falling apart. Subconsciously, we are being told to exist alongside nature and live sustainably. Consciously, we are being told these feelings are God, or Ghosts or ridiculous. So we aimlessly wander ahead towards progress (aka exploitation of earth) leaving our residual, evolutionary "souls" behind in our repressed subconsciousness. It will take a multitude of hurricanes to resurrect that old soul, if its possible at all. In any case, its probably too late.
