Religion vs Theology vs Spirituality

 

The life in is has a life of its own. If we allow it it will always leads us to a higher and a consciousness till we become more and more the "image of God". Sometimes we don't know our true potential till we are challenged, till our back is against the wall, till we have no choice but to change. Leaving it to us human, very little will choose to keep on growing if it means giving up a familiar and safe environment. We will play it safe, we will not give up and uproot. Therefore mid life crisis is but a wake up call, a wakeup call to be our authentic self to live an authentic life. If we choose authenticity what it means is whatever we have at this point in time is not real will have to fade away. 

The point of most religion is that man becomes his true self, true to himself and to society. Do right by himself and society. And to rise to a higher consciousness and Light. And the path is via spirituality, a change and transformation in the spirit. Whereas religious philosophy and knowledge tries to change man vis his mind and soul through a set of rules and regulated by an organization. Real change can only come with a change in the spirit. Before in the ancient of times I believe spirituality was 80% and religion 20% however now not only man has lost its way its lost the path to s stage where its 20% Sprituality and 80% religion. Religion is death. Spirituality is Life. So choose wisely. 

I don't think any religion has a monopoly on Truth and On God. Only God Spirit has a monopoly on God. And only the God Spirit has a monopoly on Truth. Distilling all the religious names and labels what we are left with is basically how man connect to God and vise versa and stay in God all the time. we need to change our perspective from "Religion leading Man to God" to "Man connecting with God- using any means but ultimately it will lead him to turn inward to his own soul and spirit where God has been waiting all along. 

To follow any external path is to be led astray. Man has to turn inward not outward to find God. And any religion true to Truth and worth its salt will lead man to God by turning him inward and not outward lest following rules and regulations. For it says in the bible the True worshippers must worship in Spirit and in Truth. The starting point of worship in the spirit is to know God and the basic fundamental starting point is Be Still ! 

For when we are still we are one with ourself then we can be one with God Spirit. And when we achieve One with ourself and one with God, we have achieve loving the "Lord thy GOd with all your heart, mind and soul". And when we become one with ourself and one with God and one with our neighbors, we are loving ourselves , our neighbors and God. Thus man love his wife when they become one in Mind, Body and Spirit. 

How then can we be One with God, Neighbours and Partner if we cant be One with Ourself ??!! No amount of reading the bible and hearing sermons and going to church can make us one, The interior work must be made by us and us alone. Simply Being Still !! The whole point of knowing God is just that knowing God. Not the bible, the religious texts etc. For when we know God automatically we will be living the bible outward. Hence its not know God thru the Bible but more like knowing the bible thru knowing God first. 

And the Real Objective of being with with Godness is to ""Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" coming a full circle to what God intended thru Adam in the first place "Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” which also echoed by Jesus words, Jesus as the bible say the 2nd Adam and the Last man "All Authority has been given me both in Heaven and on earth".
