The Enchantment or, (Zen of no Zen)

[Ming the Merciful]

There is a concept in philosophy called Perennialism which views all religions as emanating from a single source ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perennial_philosophy ). This school of thought developed during the renaissance in Europe when there was a renewed interest in Neo-Platonic philosophy which hold the belief that all things emanate from the One. There are parallels with the Kabbalah and Christian mysticism. Neo-Platonic philosophy also shares a lot with Eastern philosophies such as Taoism and Buddhism, and indeed there was some cross-pollination between east and west after the conquests of Alexander the Great brought the two cultures into contact, from which we got stuff like Greco-Buddhism ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Buddhism ).

There are similar parallels to be found in belief systems all over the world, whether due to Confederation sources spreading the Law of One or just a natural tendency to gravitate towards these kinds of beliefs.

The paths are many but the law is One.

Thank you Dark Star, (I like the name). I will look into that and check the link. I have had similar thoughts myself, believing there is an underlying, (something), in the core of philosophical and religious beliefs. For the last few weeks on YouTube I have been watching a series of videos investigating the history of the Vedas, (I think its called Boam Mysteries). The point is, according to Vedic Knowledge, (and history), the speculation is, in the previous ten thousand years, (pre-Dark Ages in Western history), that the Vedic Knowledge was viewed at a higher spiritual level than it is now. Or, as we passed from one Yuga to the current Yuga, the Knowledge was watered-down because Humanity was becoming more materialist and they were changed because "Modern Man" could not comprehend Spirituality in the same concept. As we are now moving towards the next Yuga, and the "Awakening", the Vedas again are beginning to reveal themselves at a higher Philosophical and Spiritual level. It is not that Humanity is changing, (per se), but it is an overall evolution within the Universe itself. People never think that the Universe itself is evolving. The consciousness is changing. HEAVY. Which makes everything more exciting. Also the mysteries of the Universe? The only way we will understand the mysteries of the Universe is by becoming a Brahma. The question still remains, (unanswered). Is the Law of One, and Zen, (Tao), the same thing? The underlying philosophy is the same?

Then I also have enquiries about Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Are they the "Force", Law of One, Zen, Tao? The Binding Force that holds the Universe together and transcends every aspect, seen, (and unseen)? The Mystery continues?
