I am not a Christian. Those who say they are, are mostly neither hot or cold. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth -Revelation 3:15-16
Lukewarm is to be a somnambulist or one who sleep walk through life living from one habit to another without sweeping out the bad or dirt. The average Christian does a lot of mental gymnastics that amount to nothing to contributing to positive evolvement of a world on the edge of Armageddon where the forces of good and evil are in our lives now.
If you’re not a Christian, and have no interest of course, be respectful to those who are, for perhaps they have chosen a better life than many lost souls like the boozers and substance abuse people. We are all at different levels of development. In a way, one is no higher than another. Those who are very attached to a religion (especially at an early age), in my experience are led to believe that to be their best safety net.
In my view, perception certainly can be a reality. Dropping all religion, one can be godless, but godly. Faith, for its beauty for those who have no ‘way of self love within’ is valuable yet faith has doubt within.
If you have knowledge, as valuable as it can be, it’s not as deep as knowing. Knowing needs not faith or belief, knowledge often does.
‘Religiousness’ (devotion to a meaningful way of life) is a dance
of romance with existence where you are always harmoniously
positioned with all that comes your way from feelings, perceptions, and the outer world. It is a rainbow of colors in thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
There are many religions to choose from besides Christianity. Some are Hindu, Buddhist, Vedic, Jewish, Islamic, Tao, Jaina, Tantra, Yoga, Sufi and Zen. Then there is the new one, ‘The Church of Covid’.
Remember, the world is no more than a reflection of who you are in thinking and feeling. Set fire to your brain and come out of the closet of bad habits and apathy. Your brain and heart are your havens, but not for just sleep walking. Let Go and be born again each day to serve your spiritual evolvement, and the world at large which is your stage to be the best you can be – and that primarily means ‘inner love’.
Be thankful for religion setting the tone for higher inner qualities, but there are higher steps out of religion. Meditation and Yoga done with deep commitment will let go of illusions and negativity, and open the doors to your higher calling. Take one step into the light at a time for your inner growth. Only thing that comes to you without effort is old age. Be like the finest wine that’s aged well. Make love your devotion!
