Qultura is essentially a system for developing mystical awareness to enable anyone to develop a meta-physic and an existential dimension to their life. What Qultura is essentially about is mysticism and the occult. These terms come from Greek and a Greek phrase which means 'a finger on the lips'. The occult means obscured, hidden, and covers subjects which are not rational and not part of everyday conversation. But still we think about such stuff.
There are two aspects to Qultura - the methodology and the community. Qultura is designed in a way where you bring the two together in your own way for your own needs and purposes.
What are Qultura's foundation premises?
Qultura methodology is made up from important mystical principles. Unlike other systems and religions Qultura is not designed to be a method you can follow, therefore it's not a belief system, a philosophy or a ready made strategy to achieve anything. Qultura is essentially a fusion of eastern and western mysticism, with mystical principles which can be found in the Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism, and also the Hindu Upanishads, therefore the mystical principles within Qultura methodology have been developed over millenia and many centuries. Any cosmology has been stripped away, leaving you with the mystical principles.
There are three major mystical principles which form the basis of Qultura methodology.
- All existence is change, all existence is relationship.
- The environment creates, the individual (organism) grows.
- All trauma and suffering arises out of separateness and division.
These are the three foundation premises of everything to do with Qultura.
Why Qultura does not offer you a method to follow
The simple reason is that when it comes to developing conscious awareness and such things as mindfulness methods do not work and usually serve to set you mental traps. By methods here we're referring to religions, other methods of enquiry such as Buddhism, Taoism, yoga, and any system based on authority or teaching. Developing conscious awareness cannot be achieved by any desire, conscious willpower or intention, nor can it be achieved by following a set of rules or a philosophy. All methods, including Qultura, are concepts. Consciousness is not a concept.
Enlightenment is not a 'higher' state of mind. Enlightenment comes in the form of insight, which is consciousness, and this is always a momentary experience. Insight always comes from somewhere other than you. Here are two examples.
Let's start with the first example of losing something. Let's say you've lost your keys, your smartphone, or something else. So what do you do? You look for it. You check your pockets. You check your bag. You wander round your home while you're trying to remember where and when you last saw your item. So you still don't find it while you're wandering around and looking on all the visible surfaces, tables, the kitchen worktops, chairs, the sofa, and so on.
But you still don't find it, so you start looking in less obvious places. You start looking behind the sofa. You look in your bedroom. You look under the pillows. You look under the duvet. You start pulling furniture about. You start looking in drawers and cupboards. As you're looking you start feeling more and more anxious and start considering whether you lost your keys or phone outside. You keep looking and looking, but still don't find what you're looking for.
So eventually you reach a point of despair and give up. You say to yourself "Maybe it will turn up somewhere." and you go do something else. How many times have you actually gone off to do something else and, when you're not thinking about it, you find the item you were looking for in a fairly obvious place? How many things have you found in your life when you weren't actually looking for them?
Let's look at the popular saying 'practice makes perfect'. Say you are learning how to do something by following a method or a technique and you keep trying and failing. So you keep trying and trying, and failing and failing. Say you follow a recipe for something and it doesn't work out. Or if you can remember back to your childhood when you learned to swim or ride a bicycle. You keep trying and failing. So you reach a point of despair and start to believe that you're never going to be able to achieve success. Maybe way back you believed yourself to be the one weird kid who was never going to be able to swim.
But then when you give it one last go before giving up you succeed. You're able to swim. You're able to ride a bicycle. That what you were making according to a recipe turns out exactly as it looks in the picture.
You manage to succeed but you do not know how you did it or managed to achieve it. You succeeded but you don't know how. You cannot explain it.
It should be fairly obvious from the above examples that you develop conscious awareness not by thinking and not by beliefs, but through intuition and extrasensory perception. Yes you can gain insight through thinking and logical reasoning, whether it be deductive reasoning or inductive reasoning, but this only gives you knowledge, not conscious awareness or anything meta-physical. In order to achieve such things as wisdom, mindfulness, and also to develop such things as truth, love, and appreciation, you're going to have to develop a meta-physic, develop intuition, and work on your extrasensory perception.
Qultura methodology alone is insufficient to give you a meta-physic all by itself. Qultura methodology is arranged into four simple components and is based entirely on mystical principles. It does not give you any method to follow, nor does it give you any suggestions as to how to live your life. As it is your mind, and your intuition and extrasensory perception that needs developing it's down to you to make the connections between the mystical principles in Qultura methodology and your own direct experiences of life. This brings us to the other major aspect of Qultura - the Qultura community.
The Qultura community
In order to develop your intuition and a meta-physic, you're going to need a connection to your environment and a community (because any community is a social environment) simply because insight comes from somewhere other than you.
