Islamic Teachings and Blessings in Islamic Comics
In the past few years we have followed things, people, and ideas, with great obsession and unlimited certainty. People have followed principles, and cream of the crop, and we in our lives have followed teacher, tutor, spiritual masters, Our parents. Yet, over time, so often these things decayed, became corrupted, or revealed themselves to be false, misleading, or simply partial.
From videogames to a Kuwaiti entrepreneur's Islamic comics-book empire featuring Muslim superheroes and they are spreading Islam to all over the world. The Arab world's private sector is leading to encourage to provide Muslim and Arab youth with home-grown heroes, something sorely needed as a bulwark against the trend toward radical Islam throughout the Middle East.
So we have full-grown afraid to go after our own judgement. We have turned out to be uncertain how to discern truth from false, correct from wrong. We have grown to find safety in what most others think, in someone else telling us the answers, or to only accept new ideas with a certain quantity of solid proof. We have become resistant, reluctant, in accepting things that are new, things outside the norm. In any field of human thought there's a mainstream accepted and safe view of reality, and then there's a less-accepted, often dismissed fringe. And it is so with Spirituality, particularly with Spirituality.
Spirituality
Let us take word "Spirituality". Scientific and skeptic people associate it with religion, or with unfounded belief and lunacy. Religious sorts, on the other hand, are often uncomfortable with the idea of Spirituality outside religion. When people in general listen to the word "Spirituality", immediately their minds are flooded with images of outdoor fairs and cloth tents, with fringe/weird types dressed in multi-colored clothing, and a bit of weed-smoking here and there.
The Fundamental Uncertainty
It is perhaps outside the scope of this text to justify what I'm about to state. But, it is my belief that mainstream history neglects advanced civilizations that existed prior to the accepted Sumerians and Egyptians, aged 10.000, 20.000 years, sometimes more. Artifacts and structures are being found which date prior to known recorded history, at a time when there should have been only cavemen.
These civilizations were in some aspects more advanced in consciousness and technology than even today, and science wasn't separated from the dealing with spirituality - much the contrary. The dealing with subtle energy and its manifestations, and with sacred geometry and mathematics, was at the core of all knowledge. Yet, despite this advancement, the consciousness of man inevitably fell, and along with it the civilizations themselves, leaving a strong memory of distrust and disillusion about the benevolent design of reality.
Everytime one ventured in the unseen in some form, it tended to end badly. So there is at a deep subconscious level an ancestral memory, of some type or another, of distrust in one's own internal drive and guidance, but especially, of distrust, doubt, and fear regarding spirituality. And that is what you see today, in many aspects of society.
