From the perspective of how most Americans were raised;
We are born into fundamental belief systems that our parents hold, and they
have their thoughts as they too were passed down from parent to child.
These beliefs include politics, theology, morals and work ethics among
countless other attributes. It is a rare one of us who challenges these
systems of beliefs by using logic or common sense. We hear the same
information and arguments so often that they simply merge into who we are
and we adopt them before we are truly old enough to evaluate them for
ourselves.
This transference of beliefs naturally resulted in the passing down of
negative things such as racism from family member to family member.
There were also things of high merit passed down, such as patriotism and
belief in the American dream etc. And if course the idea of what is god?
In the history of the world, it is only those who had the courage to rise
above the way they were taught, to rise above the beliefs of basically the
whole world, who led us kicking and screaming the whole way to higher
forms of understanding and knowledge. These people showed us that the
would is not really flat. That the earth is not really the center of the world,
and that it may be possible to fly in the air. These people took us out of our
comfort zones and through all of the protest and in some cases they were
executed, these people eventually led us to truth.
While we have made progress, there remain grand illusions that continue to
slow the growth of mankind toward spiritual enlightenment. The greatest of
these still surviving illusions is that of mans relationship to God, and to each
other. The establishments of this world have continued to pass down
generation after generation information that is simply incorrect. This
information has been passed down for so long, that it is likely that none of
the participating parties even have any awareness of the misinformation that
they continue to spread. Perhaps the Vatican may still know the truth as
they have remained such a powerful ally to the misinformation and have
kept meticulous records for thousands of years.
Yet the fact remains that the churches manipulation of information to control
the masses still rolls strong even to this day. The public is told that the word
of God has been given, albeit always to someone else rather than you. This
word will confound your common sense, yet you are repeatedly told equally
illogical beliefs to smooth over the original confusion.
Religion in this modern day will still hold to the notion that man is separate
from God. You may have to be baptized to enter into the kingdom of
heaven, or you may have to follow Jesus Christ, or Ala or any number of
other dictates, yet the point being that you are separate from God. The
point being that in your natural state of being, that God is somewhere else
and separated from you. This is the single most misleading argument of
modern religion. If in the beginning there was nothing, then the universe was
created by God, then from nothing to God has to mean that God created
EVERYTHING. Everything that was created was created out of God, by
God. Planets, Stars, Humans, Dogs and even chickens were all created out
of what could be nothing other than God its self. Could God create other
substances that were not of God? Can your body grow hair that is not your
hair?
Gods connection to us is as steady and unbroken as our own connection to
our skin is. There can be no separation between each person to God,
anymore than there is between a fish and the ocean.
Religion will suggest that you must be saved, as if you were created by
something other than God, or that perhaps you once were of God but then
fell into a hideous transformation to something ungodly. And what of being
saved? What is one to be saved from?
But of course that is the second part to the grand illusion that is passed
down and reinforced throughout modern religion. You must be saved from
evil, the devil and ultimately hell. If not for the existence of these things, then
one would not need the church to find their own relationship to God. One
would not have to be told from another person what God wants them to do.
If it were not for these boogey-men, then a person could find the inherent
natural relationship that always exists between each person and God. You
would not need a middle man to sell you the new car. You would not have
to assume that God told the salesman everything he needed to know to sell
you that car. If it were not for these boogey-men, you would be able to
create your own new car.
Doesn’t it pass your common sense to think that surly God would have given
you the same connection to guidance and wisdom as every other human on
earth? Doesn’t it pass your common sense to understand that this
information would come to you in inspirations, intuitions and in simple but
powerful understandings that just envelope you? Doesn’t it pass your
common sense to understand that God wouldn’t need salesmen to promote
his product?
Satin, the Devil, Evil and Hell; all powerful emotional tools that are easy to
wave around and instinctively scare the Hell out of those who came to hear
sincere genuine advice on how to live better lives. These are of course tools
that the religions use to legitimate their own existence. Sort of like, insisting
a country has weapons of mass destruction to validate the need to go to
war. Fear is a powerful catalyst that can not only move congregations, but
of course an entire country.
Humanity is now experiencing the highest level of knowledge that we know
of. Our society is now more advanced than any in recorded history, and still
growing at an astonishing rate. Humanity is ready to take back their own
relationship to God, to take it back from those who want you to believe that
they know more than you do. The truth is that they do know more than you
do about the dogma they learned, the dogma that has been passed down
from century to century, person to person. The dogma however is actually
what is preventing you from finding your own knowledge and your own
spiritual wisdom that you have an innate connection to.
I have written other articles on Satin, Evil and Hell, but will address all these
here in this way. We should not gauge our Godliness or spirituality based
against any of these words just mentioned. These words should not invoke
fear or worry. They should not be held over you as punishment to control
your actions; For ultimately you are always as connected to God as sap is
to a tree. It is simple understanding of this that awakens your memory of
this fact. If you will read my other articles I think I factually presented the
case that there is no Hell or overlord Satin that is hiding behind a bush to
steal your soul. You should not go through life evaluating how many sins you
or your neighbor have partaken. This way of thinking, only serves to farther
separate your state of mind that you are divided from God.
Understanding God has nothing to do with keeping score, and especially not
in judging others. God is within all things! God created all things, all things
come from god, and there is no separation from God to anything ever
created! God dwells on a certain level of vibration, of feeling. God will not
lower its self to you when you judge others or when you judge self. God will
never lower his vibration for anyone, at any time. God allows you the
freedom to exist in any state of mind that you desire. But to experience
God, one only has to adjust their vibration to his station. This station is all
about allowing others to be who they are. This station is about seeing in
others things that you can love about them. This station is about looking
over or past the things you find fault with and embracing the things they
have that make you feel good inside.
God is woven through the fabric of all that is. Its vibration is that similar to
Love, although its true vibration is much higher. Love is the one emotion that
we have access too that allows us to bath with God in its expression. This
vibration is the only thing we need to be concerned with in our relationship to
God. We do not have to be concerned about sins, about the devil or about
everlasting fire.
On this journey of life, all we have to do is find that vibration in all of our
experiences and with all the people we encounter. Its just a matter of tuning
in to where the harmony of the universe is. When a person lives in this
place, in this state of mind, all ones actions are immediately directed toward
harmony with God, with the universe.
The grand illusion of man must come to an end so that we can take the next
step in spiritual evolution. I would like to inspire you to take back your
divinity from those who claim to know what you should do. Take back your
power from those who are controlling you with fear. But above all begin to
honor your common sense, and your own power to connect to this source
and find your own wisdom.
Keep in mind that ages ago, mankind worshiped the stars and sun and
moon. This was simply the closest way mankind could understand God at
this time. God was basically nature, which really isn’t a bad way to
acknowledge God.
After that, mankind turned God into different personalities who lived on the
clouds, in Greek mythology. These characters were as naughty as the
worst characters on a soap opera. Man had began to change god into a
more human form, yet with all the vices and malice that mankind had at the
times.
The last revolution was in turning God into a more family oriented hierarchy
“father son and holy ghost”. Yet even with the progress, this God still
carried very real human traits of being vengeful, of mass murdering of his
people and of course to the possibility of all eternity in a fiery hell.
Fortunately we are on the brink of yet another revolution of God, which I’m
hopeful will bring us closer to the true reality of God than anything in history
has allowed us. This God will not have the elements of humans who are
acting out of harmony with God. This God will be about liberating humans to
accept their innate divinity and oneness with all things. This God will not be
a murderous God, nor a vengeful God. This God will be all about realizing
that we humans are God incarnate.
Understanding God, the grand illusion
