Whether it is called "collective unconscious," simply "unconscious," or "total consciousness," there are various terms, but it seems that the mission is to rewrite the concepts that come to mind when people who have not thought deeply about it hear the word "religion."
In Japan today, a certain number of people have negative images when they hear the word "religion," so the goal is to rewrite the superficial awareness of the word "religion" into something positive.
For example, the mission seems to be to overwrite the awareness of becoming hysterical or feeling that "religion is something I don't want to see."
Similarly, what was once generally considered a strange thing when people heard the word "meditation" is now changing its impression, with "meditation" now having a good image.
There seems to be a similar mission to change the image of "religion" as well.
I originally think that "religion" and "spirituality" are the same thing, and furthermore, in terms of believing in something, even "science" is like a religion. Therefore, I think that there is not much difference between the words "scientific," "religious," and "spiritual," except for the difference in methods.
Both science and religion, as well as spirituality, emphasize reality.
The misunderstanding that "you must believe" exists in religion, but it also exists in science. In the era of Newtonian mechanics, there was a time when it was considered "superstition" that "there is nothing that cannot be explained by Newtonian mechanics." Even now, there is a "religion" that wears the name of science called "materialism."
In science, religion, and spirituality, the first thing is reality, and the procedure is to accept reality first and then ask "why." However, incorrect science says that "there is nothing that cannot be explained by materialism," and denies reality.
Similarly, incorrect religions and spiritualities also deny reality.
These things, whether they call themselves "science," "religion," or "spirituality," are ultimately of that level, and the mistakes are the same for each. They are all dealing with different areas, but they have the common point of emphasizing reality, and although the methods are different, they seem to be not much different.
People who truly understand science do not deny reality that cannot be explained by science, but simply say that "it cannot be explained by science," and accept reality. However, in reality, materialists who are actually "religion" say that there is no reality that cannot be explained by science or that it is wrong, and deny reality. If they deny reality, it is a wrong idea, but they deny reality under the name of science, which is terrible. Similarly, religions that deny reality and spiritualities that are in the system of denying reality are also terrible.
In this way, there are misunderstandings about what "religion" is, and even within what is called "science," there are superstitions similar to religion. Therefore, it doesn't matter which one you address first. However, a certain group is working on a mission to rewrite the collective consciousness regarding "religion" and to change the common sense of what "religion" is.
This, on a larger scale, connects to the goal of "unifying religions," which, as I mentioned before, also exists as a mission.
