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
