Is there a religion like this?

[psychedelicsoul]

I believe in a four part human. 1. The body 2. The soul 3. The inner-soul 4. The brain. I see our brain as like a radio. The brain picks up the soul, the soul is not of this world, it's our consciousness. I'm no naturalist, I believe our consciousness is super natural in of itself. I think the brain works like a radio and picks it up, similarly to how the a tv picks up a broadcast, but the TV show you watch isn't made inside of the TV. The inner-soul is a god given entity existing within us. I believe if we can just tap into it we can change ourselves. Philosophically, I hate the phrase, "be yourself". I prefer "become yourself". Don't be content with who you are. Be a better person. I support customizing your personality like a Saints Row 2 character. The inner-soul is largely a mystery. I believe that's the source of natural morality. I believe that each of us have a sense of right and wrong inside them coming from God, but most of us cannot know what that is. As for tapping into spiritual power, I believe that's why religion was invented in the first place. Examples of this include Eastern meditation, psychedelic use, charismatic Christianity, speaking in tongues, changing sexuality, use of chi, new age stuff, Scientology... I believe all of those things have produced super natural results at some point. All of these are an example of human beings using the potential of the soul.
What about God? I believe he's an apathetic god. He made us as a science experiment or out of boredom. I'm not even sure if he watches over us or not. He gave us a power however, so I believe he intends for us to help ourselves. I also think god is amoral, meaning he's not good nor evil. Other than that, God/afterlife stuff are a mystery to mankind.
As for morality, I believe in 1 objective sin. To derive one of thier freedom or bring harm to them. However, there's an infinite amount of subjective sins. Whatever you think is a sin, is a sin for you.
So, what religion am I the closest too?

But what if it's our science experiment and we're the apathetic ones? Maybe he just indulged us and is watching us like an insect in the sand on the beach.

Ah. How are you defining "natural", and what separates the supernatural from it?
I find the idea of distributed consciousness that we 'tune into' interesting, and I've heard it briefly before, but I'm not sure if there's a specific religion that adheres to it. I mean...in some sense, it dovetails with some Buddhist ideas, but not very precisely.

Yep... turn on, tune in, and drop out.
As for the question, I define "nature" as that pertaining to matter. I don't see the conciousness as "natural", because it's not composed of any physical matter

See what happens to that consciousness when you start feeding it drugs and then stop taking drugs. It's more physical than you think, trust me on that.

 

[psychedelicsoul]

I know... I used to do addictive stuff. But I stick with psychedelics, DXM, and weed.

Reality Is Composed of Eight Chessboards.
Right. You live on Chessboard Zero. That’s
reality. All the boards under it? Those are
Wonderland. Chessboard One looks pretty
normal. Chessboard Two? Almost normal.
But after that, it gets weird fast. All the
way down to Chessboard Six which is
about as far as you should go: so far as we
know, nothing ‘physical’ exists on the last
level, Chessboard Seven (‘cause we started
counting at Zero).

Wonderland is Hungry.
Wonderland is Infectious.
All those other universes are under the man-
agement of Wonderland. Wonderland isn’t
something you can meet and talk to—it’s
something you sort of live in. But Wonder-
land is hungry. Wonderland is Infectious—
like a disease.

There Are Cracks In The Chessboard.
Chessboard Zero has cracks in it—where
Wonderland seeps in. When you are exposed
to Wonderland (like you come into your
kitchen and see a Jabberwocky making
breakfast) you become Infected. That means
you are a carrier. Right—for an alternate
dimension. It also means you have the
disease. You are Unsane. Huh? That’s like
insane—but it’s for real. It can kill you.

Being Unsane Means You Undergo Descent.
When you are Infected you have these ...
spells ... or trips ... or periods of ‘delusion’
(except it’s real) where you fall down
through the chessboards to the lower levels.
How far down you go determines how weird
it gets—and how dangerous. The good news is that you don’t
stay down: you pop back up (unless, well, you die).

You Can Meet Things that Look and Act Like People You Know On Lower Levels.
Chessboard One looks, physically, just like Chessboard Zero (reality).
So what’s different? Is it deserted? No. People cast Shadows down from
Chessboard Zero. You do. I do. Yeah, really. Those people you “meet”
are really the Shadows of people on Chessboard Zero

Your Shadow Acts Like A Crazy Version of You.
Well, more like a caricature. If you walk into your favorite pub on
Chessboard One you’ll see all your friends there—but it isn’t really
them—it’s their Shadows. And if you don’t know what’s going on, you’ll
think they’ve all gone mad.

When You Are Undergoing Descent You Cast A ’Reflection’ Back Up To Chessboard Zero.
When you have an Episode you don’t just vanish. It’d be kind of nice
if you did—‘cause then psychiatrists and doctors and scientists would
believe something was really happen.
No, you get replaced by your Shadow (now called a “Reflection” ‘cause
it’s going up from below to Chessboard Zero. Your Reflection acts kinda
like you (but, you know, a bit loopy and maybe deranged) and it kinda
tries to mimic you as you do things on the lower levels of reality.
So when you walk into that bar on Chessboard One,while you’re having
an Episode? You see all your friends Shadows
and you think “Everyone has lost their mind!” On
Chessboard Zero (reality) they see your Reflection
walk in—and them? They think: “He’s losin’ his
bleedin’ mind.” It’s insidious that way.
