Spiritologie Symbology


Spiritologie was defined by its founder Andreas Buttler as: ‘The study of the origin, infinite potential and the complete rehabilitation of the spiritual being.’

The image below was the main symbol used in Buttlerian Spiritologie. The following may well be the first full description and analysis of its actual meaning.

The wreath is closed, full circle, which means it is a complete and closed system.

This also becomes clear once on examines the philosophical foundation of Spiritologie:

All – and by that I mean as a matter of fact precisely that, namely all – what you perceive and experience is exactly that, which you out of yourself, through your own causal thinking create, and indeed exactly … now!

By that principle–it being a self-referential statement–Spiritologie is philosophically a solipsistic idealism. (nothing exists really but one’s own self-created universe)

The five pointed star, a common symbolic for the human body as well as the spirit being the senior entity. It is placed in the center which symbolizes the first impulse from where the spiritual awareness takes off to broaden outwards to infinity although still within the enclosure.

Birds are symbols of thought, or imagination, and of the swiftness of spirit. The two gulls are free to fly in two directions but inside the system.

Conspicuous are the two infinity symbols placed at right angles in the inverted cross position. The inverted cross is an antithesis to the Latin Christian cross and denotes sometimes Satanic, but usually anti-authoritarian, anti-christian attitudes.

The two infinity symbols show a horizontal lemniscate (infinity symbol) broken in the middle by another crossing lemniscate.

Development

The first development of Andreas Buttler concerned the use of the infinity viewpoint as a universal solvent. That is to say that even when using infinity that way, there would be a necessary and co-incident crossing by another infinity and all that in a blue field which signifies truth and carries the hope of freedom.

When the infinity viewpoint was rehabilitated (horizontal) through the so called Infinity Rundown there was still another infinity (vertical) to be mastered in the pan-determination rundown and all that within the system.

Similarity

It is arguable that Andreas Buttler, who believed he had been L.Ron Hubbard in a former life, chose his Spiritologie symbol to serve as a reminder to former members, that he was creating a new version of the Scientology Organizaton. 

Escape from Solipsism

To escape the inevitable solipsism of the basic Spiritologie Doctrine it could be reworded it as:

All – and by that I mean as a matter of fact precisely that, namely all – what WE ALL perceive and experience is exactly that, which WE ALL out of OURSELVES, through OUR COLLECTIVE causal thinking create, and indeed exactly … now!

This way we get rid of the excessive SUBJECTIVITY and allow for OBJECTIVE creation, still originating from the mind or rather minds.
