So, what consitutes to Righteous Living?

Authenticity
Love
Wisdom
Righteousness
Courage

AUTHENTICITY:

Why is Authenticity important? Authenticity is connected to TRUTH. It is most important that what you think and what you speak/do are aligned. Speech and Action are manifestations of your Thought. What are you, if you cannot even be TRUE to YOURSELF? Only when you are true to yourself, then you can start to embody the TRUTH.

Internally, you will also need to be true to youself. In today's society, many people put on a mask everyday, hoping to be acceptable to others. Very often, people say "yes" when internally they are saying "no. When not being true to oneself, the stress and resentment build up, and are "recorded" in our mind & body.

Unless you are a psychopath or a sociopath, when you do things that are against your conscience, you would instinctively KNOW that it is wrong, regardless of how you want to convince yourself otherwise. Living the righteous life is how you stay true to yourself.

LOVE:

What is TRUE LOVE? It is the absence of illwill towards all sentient beings. It also includes CARE - which is the amount of time and intensity attention given to a particular subject, and COMPASSION - which is the mindset of not wanting others to be in suffering. We must not confuse true Love with passion, attachment, or romantic relationship. It is Love that can eliminate Evil.

WISDOM:

We should not confuse Wisdom with Knowledge or Intellect. Knowledge is the amount of data, Intellect is the speed that you are able to sort out the data and process your thinking, but Wisdom is the ability to choose the correct way to do things using your Knowledge and Intellect, with the RIGHT MOTIVE. There is a difference in Doing Things Right, and DOING THE RIGHT THING.

RIGHTEOUSNESS:

Without morality, people would behave like animals. The world would be a harsh place to survive. Not only do you need to survive the weather, flora & fauna, you also need to handle people that you cannot trust. Only with morality, people can regain trust in one another, start working together in cooperation, and making the world a better place. Morality is what make Mankind worthy of being the stewards of Earth.

Righteousness is often used in contexts where moral purity is being emphasized, especially when someone is trying to live in alignment with divine will or cosmic justice. It may also suggest a level of virtue or honor in the face of trials or adversity.

Righteousness can be seen as a broader concept, which often incorporates not just behavior but the intention behind the action, and a person's relationship with a higher power or divine entity.

COURAGE:

Danger may be real, but fear is a choice. And COURAGE is the will to do what is necessary even in the face of fear.

Even with the best intentions, without the courage to manifest the thought into speech or action, it is futile. In terms of survival, you may have the most knowledge, best equipment, best team, but if you break under stress, all those benefits would be of no use.

In times of tyranny under a dictatorship, it takes courage to stand up to evil, and to do what is right.

Even if you do not do anything, you have already taken the side of the oppressor.

SPIRITUALISM & SPIRITUALITY

The philosophy of Spiritualism affirms the existence of a metaphysical ultimate reality that is not two, accepting the notion of a supreme reality or spirit in the form of non-dual awareness. A universal force of divine spiritual energy that provides conscious living. However, Spiritualism also covers a broad range of meanings, which varies in different cultures and communities with supernatural, mystical, and religious beliefs. Quantum Mechanics in physics today has come closer to this declaration, accepting all that exists is energy, which is neither created nor destroyed but only transformed from one appearance to another.

On the other hand, Spirituality is a process of reformation to transcend from lower to higher consciousness through various methods and techniques involving yoga, mindful meditation, self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-realization. It leads one towards the awakening of the soul, which guides and checks the brain and its body. Spirituality signifies a verb in action, like in cases of humanity, divinity, sexuality, etc. It is more of an objective effort to act upon subjective Spiritualism. It is the spirit in motion - spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Spirituality is distinct from mythology and beliefs, focusing on practicing prescribed methods to experience the soul and guide the random emotional thoughts in one’s mind. It’s an individual implementation for understanding the self beyond the cognitive mind without involving tenets, beliefs, or faiths.

One should not confuse spirituality with religion - Spirituality is one's personal path with the divine, while religion is simply mass control.

When someone mentions the word 'God', the first thing that comes to mind is probably the image of an old man on a throne in sky, conditioned by centuries of brainwashing and propaganda.

However, that is not always the case. Before the invasions, colonization, suppression & oppression, censorship & forced conversions, and also corruption & sabotage, ancient civilizations all over the world had a different understanding of "God".

The God of the ancients is an impersonal force, not the authoritarian, narcisstic, hypocritic, self-absorbed "God" that is often portrayed, who is always micro-managing the daily lives of the terrestial beings in the world, judging them based on his likes & dislikes.

Let us now proceed with our spiritual journey and practice, to align ourselves with divinity.

TERMINOLOGY:

Exoteric

Ethymological meaning "pertaining to the outside, external".

Esoteric

Ethymological meaning "belonging to an inner circle", "secret; intended to be communicated only to the initiated; profound".

Occult

Ethymological meaning "secret, not divulged", "to keep secret, conceal", "cover over, conceal".

Arcane

Ethymological meaning "hidden, secret," 1540s, from Latin arcanus "secret, hidden, private, concealed," from arcere "to close up, enclose, contain," from arca "chest, box, place for safe-keeping," from PIE root *ark- "to hold, contain, guard" (source also of Greek arkos "defense," arkein "to ward off;" Armenian argel "obstacle;" Lithuanian raktas "key," rakinti "to shut, lock").

Alchemy

The term "alchemy" comes from the Arabic word "al-kīmiyā". The prefix "al-" is the Arabic definite article, meaning "the," and "kīmiyā" refers to the art of transformation, particularly in relation to substances. The root "kīmiyā" might be linked to the Greek word "khemia", meaning "the art of transmuting metals" or "the chemistry of Egypt." The term "khemia" is believed to come from the ancient Egyptian name for Egypt, "Kemet," meaning "black land," which refers to the fertile soil of the Nile Delta. Thus, the word "alchemy" essentially means "the art of transformation".

Enlightenment

The word "enlightenment" comes from the Old French enlightenment, which is derived from the verb enlighten, meaning "to remove the dimness or blindness" (usually figurative, from one's eyes or heart), "supply with intellectual light","to give light to" or "to shed light upon."

The idea behind "enlighten" was to bring knowledge, understanding, or insight to someone, as if shedding light on something previously in the dark. The term "Enlightenment" also refers to a specific period in European history, the Age of Enlightenment (17th–18th centuries), when philosophical and intellectual thought centered on reason, science, and individual rights, often in opposition to tradition, superstition, and religious dogma. So, "enlightenment" ultimately has its roots in the metaphor of bringing light to darkness, but over time it has taken on deeper, more abstract meanings related to knowledge, spiritual awakening, and intellectual awakening.

Chaos

The word chaos comes from the Ancient Greek word "khaos", which means "void", "abyss", or "gap." It referred to a primordial state of formlessness from which the universe was created. Over time, the meaning of chaos evolved to refer more specifically to a state of complete disorder or confusion.

Apocalypse

Ethymological meaning "uncovering," "revelation," or "unveiling". The meaning of the word was distorted to turn people away from the hidden truths that would expose the Archon's power & control system.

Renaissance

Ethymological meaning from French: re- (again) + naissance (birth). Thus, "Renaissance" literally means "rebirth."

Magic / Magick

The word magic has its roots in the Greek word magikos, which referred to the practices of magicians, or sorcerers. Magikos itself is derived from magos, meaning "magician" or "wise man."

Pagan

Ethymological meaning "rural" or "rustic". This term was only used only after the Roman Catholic Church came into political power, to belitttle other forms of spirituality or religions. Paganism has nothing to do with satanism or witchcraft, morality or righteousness. Basically it just refers to any other religions other than the 3 Abrahamic religions.
