It is an interesting
exercise to view the efforts of Mankind to set up powerhouses of religion for
their followers and to compare them with the words and teachings of the Highest
Intelligence, who many call God.
Religions are for
the most part manmade and man dominated.
They cling to certain texts from old documents called Scriptures and
pick out the parts that suit their philosophy.
They claim to be in touch with God but suit themselves.
Their biggest claim
is that they are so high and mighty that they converse with God and we, they
tell us who are not part of that conversation, wouldn’t understand it. They must lead and we, like sheep, must
follow.
Beyond this globe of
our present existence, there are no religions, only truth. What goes on here on this earth plane, is a
power struggle to control the largest number of earthly souls and to get them
to pay for the upkeep of the organisation.
Perhaps you remember
the money changers outside the Temple in Jerusalem, who changed the offerings
of the poor who came to celebrate the Festival of Passover but were unclean and
their offerings had to converted into clean currency, so that it could be
accepted.
These money changers
changed the standard Greek and Roman money for Jewish and Tyrian shekels at a
conversion rate that could only be described as extortionate. They paid the Temple elders highly for their pitch and chose the rates amongst themselves.
The offerings of
animals that were brought to be slaughtered were used to feed the Temple staff,
who were on to a good thing. The losers
were those who brought their best from their little farms as a gift to God,
not to feed money changers and Temple staff.
Today, religions and
religious cults are an easy way of making a good living and prospering off the
gullible and unwary. They are given
promises that cannot be kept and the followers pay for their presumed salvation
through their innocence.
Our spirit within us
craves for the love and guidance of the Great Spirit, who is our Creator and
who gave us life. Each day we should
give thanks for what we have and not languish in not recognising what he does
for us.
So many people ask
God for things and, when they do not recognise that he has given them, they say
that he does not hear them and doesn’t answer their prayers. All prayers are heard and are answered in the
right way.
We are not here to be
given problems to solve that make us into better beings and expect God to take
them away when we fail to measure up to them.
We need to pray for his divine help in showing us how to overcome them.
We all face
difficult tasks in our lives and many are of our own making when we don’t
always come up to the standards of Spiritual Law. We are in human form, so this does happen
more often than we perhaps realise.
So often people ask,
“Why does God do this?” “Why does he
allow this to happen?” Perhaps we should
be asking why humanity so often fails and causes so much distress to the
innocent and humble.
It is about time
that people realised that God has a perfect plan for us all to participate in
and to learn from. We are known
individually to the Great Creator and He allows us to experience many things
that initially cause us suffering and pain, but in the long run make us better
souls to understand and help others to cope.
We need to conduct a
conversation with Him and to learn within our own self what He wants for us to
achieve in our life on this earth plain.
God is not without; He is within us all.
We were made in His image, which means that we are made from a little
bit of Him.
We all need to make
this contact and to persevere. Miracles
do happen, but not when they are not needed and there is a better and more lasting
way. We need to become in tune with our Creator.
It is not for God to
become in tune with us. He is already
perfect. We must draw closer to him as
individuals and learn what makes His perfection as we try to learn and emulate
it.
Religions tend to lay down their own laws
and expect us to follow without question.
If we don’t, they tend to punish.
Our Father teaches us with unconditional love through the spirit that is
in unison with all goodness and holiness.
All souls created are in need of finding
their own path in life and not have it dictated to by others. Nobody can walk another’s pathway. This they must do for themselves. They can be helped and guided but they alone
can achieve that path correctly.
Let us learn where we are at fault and
address our failures. We will feel
better for having done so, as the spiritual love always rewards us when we get
it right and that warmth flows freely within us.
We do not need to go to congregations and
big buildings to find what we need. We
don’t even need to kneel down. All we
need is to ask for the help of the Almighty from our hearts when that is
necessary.
Ignoring our problems won’t let them go
away. We need to address them directly
to the source within us all and ask for help.
Then we will no longer be afraid.
We are all worthy in the eyes of our Father, no matter what we have
done.
The Great Spirit will show us the way to go
with unconditional love and healing. I
say Amen to that.
