The FUKAR model
FUCKS. I had an image of a kind of limited spirituality. Representatives of or variants of this are categorized a little differently (private religiosity, new age, esotericism, new spirituality, but also certain religions). It is a spirituality where thoughts about reincarnation and karma are central, and where the individual develops step by step towards greater perfection. It has been found that my respondents – all of whom basically encompass these three criteria – however, emphasize these parts slightly differently. With this model, one can first of all show which parts constitute this type of esoteric-newage spirituality - and how such a "Fukarian" spirituality relates to other types of teachings and spiritualities. But the figure also makes it possible to visualize how the different parts are emphasized differently by, for example, my respondents... Some lean more towards perfection ("The wonder", the grace). Some emphasize the karma aspect. Points out how one can create one's "abundance" mentally and through actions, for example. (Magic & Deed Faith). Some emphasize the reincarnation aspect, the relentlessly lurching progress forward and upward. (Determinism. Evolution. Automation.)
FUCKS= on the whole, equal attention is given to all three parts – Perfection (The individual's realization of the highest imaginable qualities. "Sainthood.") as an end goal which depends on karma- (The individual's shaping of his destiny via his actions and the statutory consequences that follow from these) and the reincarnation system (The survival of the individual via rebirth in new bodies).
FU = See through the illusion. Perfection is possibility "here and now". Wake! Possibly a reasoning that at this point humanity has wandered and suffered enough, and it is urgent.
KA = Magic. “Create your abundance.” Feng Shui. A lot of self-help literature.
R = It's tough. Darwinism, a development without a real goal, no "perfection". Determinism, astrology in its strictest form. Caste thinking in (older) Hinduism, that one is born into a caste, has to wander through creation in countless incarnations.
FU+KA = A clear ideal of perfection, and the importance of deeds is emphasized. It is possible to via by "doing everything right" - achieve nirvana, reach heaven, be released from the cycle of rebirth relatively immediately. Some kind of monks, HareKrsna I think to a great extent. Therapeutic teachings.
FU+R = Some esoteric spirituality, which has a clear ideal of perfection, which is reached via reincarnation ("in 3000 years") and where the karmic aspect is underemphasized. Automated view of development. One cannot fail to evolve, so referring to the karmic aspect is actually more or less superfluous, redundant information. The development does indeed work with the help of the law of karma, but when the goal is given, it is not something you really need to pay much attention to.
KA+R = A system of thought that embraces magic and eternal life via reincarnation, but has no individualistic, saintly, ideal of perfection? A device that can be manipulated. Satanism? Spiritual Darwinism?
