Truth, Religion, and Spirituality

When we study the origins of life we inevitably find ourselves learning about the origins of religion and spirituality as well. So much history has been documented and saved due to hieroglyphics and other pictographic art forms that long predate our current languages. Science works to explain their theories of evolution and truth just as wise seekers and sages of spirit do. The correlations between science, religion and spirituality are amazing.

The origin of life still remains a mystery to all and any that truly delve into its study. Theories are developed to substantiate fact and science tells us that the supernatural does not come into play with true scientific fact finding. Yet the world of the paranormal is indeed a fascinating subject that is continually explored by the scientific community.

Where did religion come from and why are there so many different forms of the basic same beliefs? Why can religion not explain the paranormal to the average person yet believe so strongly that they, and they alone, know what God wants? And why when all the teachings we read and study tell us that God is everything that is, and is far beyond our comprehension, do we identify God as a male entity?.

Spirit and the supernatural have been a large part of ancient recorded history long before Jesus Christ walked the Earth. Many of ancient teachings and doctrines as well as mythology tell us tales of creation that are simple and always include the female deity as a major player in creation.

What if all the stories and mystic teachings were true? What if they all actually happened and were documented and recorded by the scribes of that particular time and place? What if God, Goddess, All that is has no face at all and though we are a direct reflection of the Divine, the Divine is not a direct reflection of us?

Divinity and spirituality are faith based, or are they? Faith is to believe something. Without faith there is no hope and without hope there is desolation. Humans seek to have purpose in life and having purpose allows them hope for the future. Humans are limited in their consciousness because they choose to be so. Consciousness is far beyond religion and spirituality because it encompasses the truth of life from all angles.

A being is what each and every one of us is. Being conscious is what we have come to experience. Becoming Divine is a remembering we seek to discover as we walk through our life. A sense of self is the main tool we have to achieve such a journey.

If there were no religion in the world, would the people of the world be aware of anything supernatural at all? Where did the Native American Indians discover their spiritual beliefs? The rain forest tribes and others who have been isolated from the modern technology of life and communication the rest of the world experiences? And why oh why, if God is all loving, do we all suffer so much? Through the experience of consciousness we can discover the answers to these questions.

Many religions would have us wait till after death to find such answers. Many believe that the supernatural resides in our hearts and minds only after leaving this plane of existence and entering into another. Why can we not just simply do this through our own consciousness every day of our physical life?

Living a spiritual life is a choice. It involves the Spirit essence of life that we are to participate and understand how we too are spirit. It involves emanations and trust in self as being mind, body, soul and spirit.

Religion, spirituality and truth are all teaching the same things. Quantum physics Science and logic also correspond to Divinity because each person has their own set of beliefs and only alters them when pressed with new information that is more convincing.

This shows us that we are all the same, not different. Here we also see that we all continually seek the deepest answers to the most important questions. These questions are the same for all; who am I, why am I here, and what is the purpose of my life? Once again only through realization and consciousness can these questions be answered. Faith based religions go to great lengths finding the truth, yet they refuse to acknowledge that the truth lies in each person singularly. Though all truth is related, it is not the same when seeing it through the eyes of another, as it is seeing it through ones own eyes. Hence the need for Religion and it’s structure. For without a teaching and basis to learn from no one could learn from the teachings of the past.

Inviting the Divine to come into your life and assist you is not the same as participating within the Divine. Why would we want half of the experience when we need the whole one? And why do we believe that God, Goddess, all that is, would want to come and visit us, if we do not know how to go and visit them?

Sometimes when we are asking the divine for it’s intervention in our life we should reach out there to where they are and hear all the things they have to hear from everyone who is asking. Who would want the job they have of listening to all the whiners and criers all the time? Who are these unconditionally loving energies that do not get tired of hearing our pleas and our prayers for their help? Why do they love us so much and how can we share in that love and show our love in return?

Truth can only be experienced through someone who understands they can, need to, and deserve to have such an experience. Truth has little to do with Religion but much to do with faith. Knowing the energy of your creators is the same as knowing your own energy to create. If indeed we live in a universe where both good and evil dwell then we should discover why this is true and how to personally and spiritually transcend such things.

Truth is simple and can be found easily. The mazes that one creates through their own awareness and teachings can be their greatest obstacles to discovering the simplicity of the truth that lies within each soul.

Consciousness cannot be explained anymore than God can be. Consciousness is a state of being that allows one to know and experience truth. Consciousness is individual, collective, and supernatural as well. Consciousness is what each one of us was before we took on the robe of the body and it is what we will be when we lay down the robe. It is forever and unending. It is necessary for us to realize this through our own physical experience to be able to move beyond the need for the physical, but it is ultimately a choice we make through our own free will.

No one can save us from ourselves, the divine can align it’s light and love within you to assist you in your walk this lifetime but cannot, and will not, save you from that journey. You have created the issues and problems you face in life and you have the tools of forgiveness, love, and acceptance within you to change them.

Living spiritually does not mean you are no longer human or that God loves you more than someone else. It does not mean that you are a chosen one, for it is not God that chooses us but us that chooses God.

All truths and paths are good. All teachings of enlightenment: God, Goddess, All that is, brings truth as well. Let us come to a consensus and see that we are all seeking the same light of truth and hope as everyone else. All that separates spiritual beings is the same that separates physical realities and that is their judgments. True awareness holds no judgment only human consciousness does that.

All truth is pure and light. All truth is healing and loving. When we discover the truth of light within that we are we begin to discover that truth has no beginning or ending. Truth is always unfolding and being discovered or uncovered if you would. Truth is ever changing and developing just as ones consciousness does so does the consciousness of all other life. Truth is undeniable true but can also be mistaken and misused.

Take care to know yourself and your own motives of truth as you travel your journey of life. Be open to not only share what you have discovered, but to also listen and understand others truths and convictions as well. Remember that we are always learning more as we go and that even though the pieces might not fit together that does not mean they do not belong.

Patience, acceptance, love, tolerance are all we have to change ourselves and the world around us. Let us take pride in those tools and use them wisely.
