God, Spirituality and Religion.

In this day and age there is quite a contrast between religion and spirituality. Most religions believe in a set of rules or codes that were obtained through books.Generally those seeking a spiritual path are, or should be more intent on finding the truth. While that may involve reading books and even in depth study of the words and phrases what they learn is still subject to open to revelation from God.

The great spiritual truth is that life is a journey. We may deviate from the path in many ways but I believe that if are hearts and minds are open to the truth God will in fact reveal it. If are hearts and minds are closed because we think we have the truth already because we read it in a book then God can't reveal anything to us.

Much of what I say is from personal experience with religion, spirituality, scriptures, meditation and mind-boggling revelation. Let''s say hypothetically that your belief system is rooted in doctines from books, any books; and God comes to you and tells you literally mind-boggling that may be contrary to what you believed- what do you do? Believe God or a book? Do you say to God no you can't do that because the book says .......!

If we are seeking the truth and seeking God we can receive the higher laws of the spirit, maybe even the Supreme laws which are love and service. This word, "spirituality" will come to the forefront in the near future. For many who's belief system is rooted in a book, spirituality seems threatening... after all we can't have people thinking for themselves can we??? Yes, we can! We can have people who know that there is more to the story and seek the truth. In some cases to rigid of a religious belief can be preventing us from finding it.

God loves and God is spirit. Personally, I'd like to see a set of spiritual laws that transcend all the pettiness and division brought about through books and get on to the good stuff like loving and changing this world for the better.. All the best-aph
