Seek the Eternal World

a source of light in the pre-scientific era. However, with the progress of scientific knowledge, people accepted the moon as a satellite of the earth that reflects the light from the sun and is without any light of its own. The same issue is true regarding the way man understood the heart. In the pre-scientific age, the heart was regarded as the centre of thought and feeling. Because of this, everywhere, spirituality based on the heart became the norm. However, in the age of modern science, it came to be known that man’s heart is only a means of blood circulation. It being the case, it is necessary to change our understanding of spirituality. There is now a need to redevelop and redefine the knowledge of spirituality. It is necessary to connect spiritual understanding with the mind and acquire spiritual progress through intellectual processes. It is because the source of intellectual or spiritual progress is the mind, not some heart-based exercises. It is time to understand that true spirituality is mind-based, not heart-based. For this purpose, every person should do two things continuously. One is that he should convert the negative items accumulated in his memory into positive ones. It is akin to the process that some animals engage in, in the form of regurgitation or rumination. Moreover, the other is that every day, an individual must convert negative experiences into positive items so that when they go out of the conscious mind and enter the unconscious mind or memory, they should be stored there as positive items.
