A Guide to the Psyche of Atheism, Religion and Philosophy and Their Impact on Contemporary Spirituality

By Vladimir Živković

The book talks about contemporary misconceptions of religion, atheism and philosophy based on many conversations and events with people with thirty years of experience of the author in the field of spirituality, spiritual experiences and disciplines. Gain knowledge and beat the atheists in debate. This book deals partly with religion, more with philosophy, but mostly with atheism. Why atheism? Reason is that atheism today encourages the denial of meaning and purpose as well as the support of pleasure and false intelligence which are mostly destructive in nature. For this reason, this book is very instructive for everyone, and especially for atheists, because atheists have the hardest time. Many atheists (and believers) will gain a lot of insight, knowledge and experience by studying this book. In debates between atheists and believers, the emphasis is often placed on who is right and how to logically prove the weakness of the faith of theism or atheism with the help of intelligence. Many forget that Creation is a paradox. Knowing the truth requires experiences and insights. Let's say, there is not much logic in love, and yet love is also learned and experienced. In this book, you have a lot of texts with the help of which I wanted to convey to people certain guidelines that will show that something does not have to be extremely convincing or clever in order to gain insight and knowledge of the truth. This also means that banal and simple events hide meaning and truth. Therefore, with the help of this book, gain insights and wisdom and not food for the ego that deceives you that you are one way or another. Have fun and enjoy!

Vladimir Živković

Vladimir’s work consists in helping people to settle in love and sex life, to progress in spirituality, to become happy, to achieve themselves and their own value, and to return to themselves dignity and self-esteem.Vladimir Živković is born in Belgrade, on 20th of April, 1970. He has spent his childhood and adolescence in Nis, where he finished the high-school. At 26, he went to live and work in Novi Sad where he has begun to practice spirituality and various spiritual disciplines, the most emphasized was meditation. Next 20 years, insights and spiritual experiences followed, that changed his life and his relation to God. The outcomes were inner changes and desire to share the truth with everyone (with the aim of self-healing).The practical technique that he has learned as an aid in his spiritual journey is Japanese Divine massage. Also, he has become Reiki master in 2004.-so he often helps people and students to facilitate their spiritual journey by practicing Reiki-healing techniques. Most part of his time he is dedicating to improving his knowledge of a man’s psyche, so he is acquainted with techniques of self-healing, as well as techniques of releasing negativity.Vladimir Živković says: -When I gained spiritual experiences and knowledge of Divine Self, I wanted to help people. Working with individuals did not satisfy me because it was not productive and it took me a lot of time and effort. An additional problem was that many people who come for help do not want to try to change dark side of personality. That’s why I came to the conclusion that it is best to put my knowledge and experience on paper. When the reader reads my book then he/she decides what to accept from the book and what he/she will doing through life. In that way I save time and effort, and my knowledge and help are available to everyone.Soon I came to the conclusion that I have to publish 3 books. The first book I published in English is called “Modern Relationships”. The book is made up of 3 parts and represents the integration of spiritual and worldly life. How to reconcile the marital and, therefore, the love life, the sexual and the spiritual life. The second book is a classic spiritual. The title of the book is “The Book about Divine Self”. It presents the essence of spiritual knowledge and it is necessary to be read by the members of all faiths, races, nations and religions. The last book is a "SELF- HELP: The Understanding of Life". This book contains practical lessons in the field of reaching love for oneself, strengthening self-esteem, achieving gratitude and satisfaction.Vladimir Živković je rođen 20.4.1970. u Beogradu. Svoje detinjstvo i ranu mladost proveo je u Nišu gde je završio srednju školu. Sa 26 godina je otišao u Novi Sad da živi i radi gde je i počeo da se bavi duhovnošću i raznim duhovnim disciplinama, od kojih se najviše isticala meditacija. Tokom sledećih 20 godina usledile su spoznaje i duhovna iskustva koje menjaju njegov život i odnos prema Bogu. Dolazi i do unutrašnjih promena i do želje da se istina podeli svim ljudima.Od praktičnih tehnika koje je izučio kao pomagalo na svom duhovnom putu je japanska božanstvena masaža. Takođe, 2004. godine postao je i reiki–učitelj pa vrlo često pomaže ljudima i učenicima da ubrzaju svoj duhovni put praktikovanjem reiki–tehnike isceljenja. Veći deo vremena posvetio je i usavršavanju psihe čoveka, pa mu nisu strane ni tehnike samoisceljenja, kao ni tehnike oslobađanja od negativnosti.Trenutno živi i radi u Niškoj Banji.

THE LAW OF ILLUSION

Atheism is a big and dark forest with many paths that lead nowhere but turn into each other and stay in the forest. In that forest there is only one steep path that leads out of the forest, but the atheist does not follow it because he/she does not like it.

When an atheist goes down all the wrong paths and realizes that he/she is in despair, he/she finally finds the strength and courage to take the steep path. There he/she goes out of the forest into the open, and only then realizes that his/hers journey has just begun.

The beginning of faith in God is the beginning of the journey, it is not the end.

Many people act as if faith in God is the end of the road.

Atheism is actually a preparation for the beginning of the spiritual path. The spiritual path takes a long time and it takes many lives to walk that path to final success.

Atheism is living in the hell of desires, delusions and illusions that come from the mind.

Those delusions and illusions create great troubles for human. A person decides on the right path only when he/she is tired of unhappiness and pessimism.

The intelligence and reason of human is reflected in overcoming the stubbornness of atheism.

Atheism is absolute psychological self–destruction. You will find out with the help of this book.

THE LIMITATION OF ATHEISM

Imagine a man who cuts off the edge of a loaf of bread and says that the edge is the whole loaf.

You show him a huge leftover whole loaf and he says: No, there's only the edge.

Then you tell him that water was used to make the bread, and he says: No, where do you see water? Give me proof that bread is made of water.

What does that mean?

An atheist is a person who claims that there is no water in bread and that bread is not bread but the edge of bread.

How?

The atheist denies the Creator and then the Creation. Creation is not only material. There is also reality that the mind perceives. The world is not just matter or energy.

What is strange here?

The atheist relies on the mind and on the delusions of the mind. And he/she uses precisely those delusions to prove that God and spiritual worlds do not exist.

An atheist loves to deny him/herself.

This means that the atheist sees and recognizes everything, but denies precisely everything because he/she wants to recognize only material reality (which is basically the biggest illusion because it is the furthest from God).

That is why atheists are the furthest from God and cultivate total ignorance.

ATHEISM AND PHILOSOPHY

Atheism is a type of fascination with the world and the mind.

What it means?

Philosophy has always been one that valued and respected the mind. Due to the worship of the mind, a person comes to believe that the mind knows a lot. However, the mind is only a tool for thinking, storing and processing information.

Intelligence from the mind does not must to have anything to do with knowledge. If intelligence is misused, a stupid man can know the truth and knowledge while an intelligent man can only have imagination and opinion.

This is very important because atheism with regard to knowledge of the Self does not bring any knowledge in philosophy but only assumptions based on assumptions, and that means only wrong opinions which are neither truth nor knowledge.

Today there are many philosophical groups that naively want to present atheistic philosophy as correct and rational. Of course, even the names of those groups sound familiar. Let's say, philosophical original and authentic.

Of course, that name cannot hide that it is just an ordinary atheistic group without knowledge of God and Self. More precisely, it is a group where the truth is forbidden to enter because they are looking for opinion and matter, not for knowledge and truth. Philosophy certainly includes knowledge of God. When someone excludes God from philosophy, it is no longer philosophy but ordinary ignorant atheism.

This is quite understandable because worshiping the mind leads to delusion and bad thinking. The tricky thing is that you still need the mind, but the mind is not the goal but simply a means to an goal.

Let's say, you need air to breathe, but you can't build a house out of air, but out of solid material.

An atheist is a human who believes that he/she can make a house out of thin air only because he/she has made it possible in his/her imagination.

An atheist thinks that he/she can come to knowledge by mere thinking and processing of matter, and not by experience and knowledge of the Self.

In principle, philosophy has never given concrete solutions, as many religions have given both the truth and the solution. Atheistic philosophy is only a futile attempt by man to remove the unpleasant truth from life, which is impossible.

And what is that unpleasant truth?

You are responsible for everything you do. You will never escape that responsibility.

A STATEMENT THAT NEGATES ITSELF

T he deepest sin against the human mind is to believe in things without proof. — Aldous Huxley

Me:

– Well, Mr. Huxley, give us evidence for that claim or you are wrong.

Isn't it great when you can refute an atheist's claim with one answer?

As I already explained. The atheist's claim is mostly formed in the mind. Then there is no beginning in knowledge and experience, but only in assumptions, desires and delusions.

And of course,
