آسیب‌های نظام سلطه از ناحیه عرفان‌های نوظهور بر جامعه ایران اسلامی

Damages of the domination system of new religious mysticism to the Iran society

Farshad Towhidnia[1]

Abstract:

Today in our country, besides traditional groups and denominations, some groups of mysticism and spirituality have been found with material and sensual attractions, and they hunt daily the people who are enthusiastic to mysticism. The origins of these new spiritual movements are generally in the West. Although some of them are oriented in the east, especially India, but many of them are in fact eastern-westernized movements that are now advertised. In other words, the eastern religions are influenced by the value system of the West and operate under the control of that domination system. By diminishing the concept of religion, eliminating its divine authority, replacing autonomy instead of subjugating religion and subjugating humanistic goals, new religious movements shamed the face of genuine mysticism having the greatest impact on the quality of religiosity. In addition, the claims of these mystics about the monopoly of truth, the structures of authority that require unquestioning obedience, the encouragement of a growing dependence on the movement in terms of material, spiritual and social resources, and the demolition of a group of people, are all other potential risks and injuries which should not be neglected. Dangers include: making big windfall money, destroying members' power, not getting married or having sexual behavior, lack of fear of sin, losing responsibility, guiding people to sexual and criminal lives.

Key words: God, Islam, Spirituality, Religion, New mysticisms, Pathology, Domination.
