One minus one is always zero

When you’re not sure what is right or wrong in a given situation in life the conditioned response is to seek authority and guidance. But quite often the picture of life offered by external authority resembles a bleak wintry Monday morning when the wind is cold and blows fine drizzle or rain into your face whichever direction you happen to walk.
External authority shares a certain amount of common ground and this is true far more when it comes to psychiatry, psychotherapy, other forms of therapy and eastern philosophies such as Buddhism and Taoism than it is true for religion (in general) and politics. The common ground is of course the transformation of consciousness in a way as to get at nirvana, moksha, or enlightenment. While it is true that religion is a tool for broadening your understanding of mysticism and the mystical experience, much in the same way as psychedelic drugs and substances can be used to expand your mind, religion has become far more focussed, like politics, on laying down the law and maintaining social order.
This is where, if you are seeking guidance from external authority, because of your mental confusion and inability to move forward and recover the flow of your life, you can easily become trapped by right and wrong and moral reasoning. This is a common issue when you have a traumatic mindset, and the complexity of your circumstances and your life - which can happen to anyone given the complicated nature of modern life and human relationships - because you can be drawn into second hand beliefs from external authority and cheat yourself out of some valuable life experience and insight.
This is why no central method is offered by Qultura methodology. Profoundly anti-authoritarian in nature by design, discussions of right and wrong are discouraged within the Qultura community simply because human experience of life is human experience of life.
For over five thousand years the path of human consciousness towards mystical insight has been distracted in various ways by moral reasoning and arguments as to what is right and what is wrong, and not much in the way of evolution of human consciousness has been achieved as a result. The technology has changed, as has culture, as has language, but the ideological and societal divisions are today in the 21st century pretty much the same as they were in the 19th century or at least the early 20th century. You could even speculate that such divisions and issues go back much, much further. But how far back do you need to go to understand that such divisions exist today?
