When it comes to the fundamental questions of our existence, most of us are characterised by an indifference that is difficult to explain. Hardly anyone seriously wants to know why they live on this planet, where they come from, where they are going and whether their life has meaning or not. Why is that?   

The word ‘faith’, as it is used today, accounts for a large part of the general frustration with spiritual questions. Numerous religious communities have appropriated, narrowed and distorted this valuable term for themselves. They demand that their followers firmly believe in their teachings and condemn any healthy doubt. And this despite the fact that, grotesquely enough, they cannot answer the fundamental questions of our existence conclusively at all, but instead advocate doctrines that, when looked at closely, contain numerous contradictions and call the perfection of God into question.

Most religious institutions actually expect us to believe their teachings without question, i.e. blindly, which on closer inspection contradict the clear statements of Jesus of Nazareth, to whom they refer. We are supposed to accept teachings that cannot explain our origins, our path, the structure and the laws of creation!

At the same time, however, these communities do a lot to make their believers dependent on them by often not shying away from the presumption of claiming to represent God directly and to be an indispensable mediator on earth. They claim this right on the basis of questionable interpretations of the Bible, for example, and continue to write it without hesitation for thousands of years as a kind of permanent legacy. Just like that, without any plausible justification! We should not get the idea that we can find the way to the Creator ourselves - independent of churches, sects and religions, independent of restrictive and implausible dogmas!

And since this centuries-long, often agonising dependence is the opposite of freedom, many people today would prefer not to deal with the most important questions of our existence and with God at all, partly out of fear of falling into this dependence again, but partly also out of actual disinterest that has arisen from decades of indifference. Here the sense of the spiritual has already atrophied to a dangerous degree through inactivity , because the law of creation of the movement has thus been ignored. And their bad impression of ‘religion’ is confirmed in very many cases by fellow human beings who have already been damaged - who have become fearful and unfree in false faith, who have been forced to wither away spiritually or who have become fanatical.
