49 THE TRUTH IS EVERYWHERE
Today there are many who try to find the keys to philosophy in places like India or elsewhere without realizing that in reality the origin of all forms of philosophy is Mesopotamia, since it was there at the end of the prehistoric period when most of the philosophical principles that we know today were formed. These seekers of the origins affirm that it is strange that in all civilizations even those of America there are elements in common, but they do not understand that at first the civilization only existed in the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates and that the culture of that civilization spread Throughout the world, it was even able to reach America by taking advantage of the Bering Strait that had frozen during the last ice age. At the end of glaciation many lands of North Africa and Mesopotamia desertific to rum prompting a shift of the population to those lands fertile still remained, this could favor that in those places be initiated methodical crops to increase production and also the beginning of the s civilizacio n it is Sumerian and Egyptian.
It is a bit sad that there are those who think that something is better just for being a foreigner, that way today there are many who believe they can find the answer to all the questions in religions such as Buddhism or Hinduism, it is true that those religions They can contribute positive things to others, but also vice versa, what is a mistake is to believe that all the answers are in them. In my opinion, it is correct how in India the continuity of the life of the spirit is raised through reincarnation, but, at the same time, they have rejectable customs that seem more typical of the stone age such as worshiping cows or rats. For this reason, I consider that the ideal religion will be one that manages to combine the truths contained in all the others into one, but, at the same time, strives to reject everything that is wrong. Because religion should not be something static, but flexible to adapt to the discoveries that progress provides us.
It is also sad to see so many people go to the East to look for the supposed spiritual teachers and they do not understand that it is not the habit that a teacher does, nor the years that they can dedicate, but the spiritual level that each one has and how close they are that their ideas are seen r ty because it's a true statement than a thousand volumes full of lies. In India, these so-called teachers abound who claim to know of the human and the divine, as if acquiring enlightenment depended on their own will. We live in a world in the process of evolution, that means that truths and lies are present in all religions and it is our duty to learn to differentiate them.
Sometimes we naively believe that everything we seek can be found by traveling, but true wisdom is as slippery as a fish in your hands and has a capricious habit of fleeing from where it is supposed to be. We must not confuse which teacher is the wise man and not the one called wise, teacher is the one who knows the truth and not the one who claims to possess it, because the truth is what it is and not what it is supposed to be. It is not spending one's life in a monastery what culture gives, nor is it acquired by dedicating one's life to seeking that culture, because unfortunately not all people can understand the inscrutable truth that hides behind appearances even if they sincerely seek it.
Another example of this we have in the lamas of Tibet when they affirm that when they die they can choose the body in which they are going to reincarnate, but they forget that spiritual laws are not the same as human laws and the fact that In this world they are considered leaders or teachers, it does not mean that they will be in the spiritual world, rather it gives the impression that this custom of choosing a successor among children is not intended to promote the reincarnation of the supposed teacher, but to be able to control the trajectory of that child from infancy with the false claim that he is a reincarnated teacher.
In reality, Buddhism is only a derivative of the philosophy of Zoroaster or Enoch, just like Christianity or Hinduism, although they later suffered modifications, therefore, the correct thing is to look for the truth that each religion contains without making the mistake of thinking that the truth only belongs to one exclusively. It is good to have philosophical beliefs, but we must enrich ourselves with everything we can learn and at the same time discard what we logically know does not make sense, so that in the end the truth prevails.
