Letâs âcut to the chaseâ. The seeming secularization of America in a ‘reset’ is not a problem, unless a mindful, heartfulness into a great awakening doesn’t fill the gap of religion being downplayed into meaninglessness. Are the people up for that? Can the masses let go and raise consciousness in a positive way? Is memorizing scriptures in a holy book going to get you to some nirvana. Maybe this is nirvana, at least sometimes, yet purgatory most of the time. And, a Hell for all sometimes, but especially for those facing a karma for their âsinsâ.
Religions are a way of life, and are really a necessity at this time of human development, in a way just as adherence is to the constitution. Structures to follow are a guide or rules to maintain a harmony and a common sense for most everything. For the general population to be lukewarm about lifeâs written scriptures and instead following a path, leading nowhere and/or to a place no one would choose is to âmiss the markâ of the greatest moment in history.
Proselytizing to others is a turnoff to most listeners who have no interest in listening. Most listen because they are not accustomed to smiling and walking away as they donât want to be âdiscourteousâ. Itâs a mind thing of the proselytizer to satisfy their ego at another expense of having to listen. The one that pushes a sales pitch for conversion, that in the past barely worked, becomes even further away in this fast moving, developing technological world. Needing the scripture of an ancient book, is an old attempted way to convert, while connecting to the heart and common sense is fulfilling an intent to find the quiet space within doesnât need any ones words.
Making language a mind field for agenda of both control and money is to trick people into being lemmings without common sense intelligence. To follow an illusion that is purported to be the word of god, may well have merit for the majority, but escaping from that mixed bag of truth and lies into a world of awareness and love is a spiritual pathless path. The path of âopen eyes, heart, and questioningâ is a religiousness apart from all âholy scriptureâ.
All religions today are stuck in a trap of âquicksandâ that is a destination of missing who you really are, missing the fruits of bliss and joy that come as a reward for those deeply following a wordless spiritual path. There is a technique to unhook or detach from the negatives of the past that allows an open window of seeing who you really are inside – Meditation.
Every new arrival into any society is given motherâs milk, stirred and shaken, with a sufficient dose of âAmerica the Beautifulâ or âGod bless Jesus,â or whatever is needed to convey the emotional essence of the fairy tale. The child is helpless. To survive, swallowing the milk is choiceless, no matter how contaminated. The same was done to the mother when she was also small and helpless. Soon, more and more details are added to embellish the fairy tale and establish its âtruth.â Every culture has its own version. One society might insist that there is a God in the sky who is superior to all and everything. That he has a âsonâ who can walk on water as proof of his superiority over his sheep. That his earthly lieutenants are superior to ordinary sinners. That even a God-fearing sinner is superior to any non-believer. Instead, find the deep love within as a guide.
