CSV Spirituality – Present and Future
The concepts of Axeti Nete religious practices stands at a paradoxical cross-road. On one hand it represents one of the most ancient of all human spiritual and religious practices, while on the other hand, modified forms of it are being revitalized and spread in modern society. Our ancient pasts and futures collide in the re-emergence of some of the most powerful of human capacities, found in what has been conceptualized as spiritual healing.
CSV beliefs and practices must be understood as part of human nature, as a variety of evolved capacities that have assisted in human adaptation and survival since pre-history. ASC, and the associated healing and religious practices persist as central features of modern CSV ritualistic practices.
Understanding the ways spiritually-based ritual ties into aspects of our foundational physiology, psychology, our unconsciousness and social conditions leads us to the inevitable conclusion that these practices are not a vestige of our past. Rather, the evolution of Axeti and CSV beliefs reflects a vital aspect of humans’ continual evolution with essential applications in the present and future.
