I watched this video and it has a wonderful point although some people will find it controversial. How can every religion believe they are right and yet condemn another? If there is a right, then there must be a wrong? Seriously, what if we are wrong in our beliefs? What if everything our religion teaches us about God is inaccurate? What if what other religions teach about God is also inaccurate? Science is not my God. I am not an atheist and I am not saying that there is not a Divine Presence that created everything and guides us because I know in my heart, there is something immeasurably wonderful to which we belong. Yet, what if everything we have learned in until this century is not correct? Who is God? I believe we are each a part of God, we are one with that God and one giant cosmic consciousness. Oneness. We are all part of the energy of the Universal Creator, a flowing energy, one experiment in living and capable of being one positive consciousness, but perhaps, I too, am wrong!
I do not think that there is a right or a wrong faith and I believe that all religions are man made. For example, one person shared their spiritual experience with another. That person then incorporated that experience into their belief system and that was how a religion started. Therefore, religious texts were written by men, who were recording their own experience. My parents never forced their religion down my throat leaving me to explore on my own and for that, I thank them. In fact, I recall my father questioning many things. Do I have a religious preference? No, I do not for I want the best of all for all, for what I believe is a mixture of many things and so indescribable that I simply cannot express it in words because it is best felt with my heart.
From all I learned of religions in the past and what I see happening today, it is what divides humans, makes us incapable of accepting differences in others. I have never understood this because most religions profess love and acceptance. It us, the humans, that cannot accept each other. Why do we let it divide us? It is fear, the fear of being different and unloved. Is it because we humans have an ego that insists we must be right? We are all the same in many ways yet we are so weak of heart and soul that we cannot accept our own uniqueness or our sameness. What is it that makes us think that we are the only ones to have the answers? What if there are no answers? Perchance, we must exist and experience life while making the best of it. Maybe we are the creators! Why can’t we be forgiven, if we can find it in ourselves to forgive ourselves? Then again, maybe there is nothing to forgive?
Perhaps if we all practiced Love, humanity and compassion instead of religion our world would be a far better place.There is only one way I see to understand God, the Creator, the Divine (whatever you may call it). You must meditate and look within your heart. Ask your soul to join you, explore your heart, feel with your heart, love with your heart and act out of compassion. Your experiences will not be the same as mine, or the next person. You will have your own unique experience.
Is there an afterlife? I believe so. I cannot explain why I believe this but I know there is more than this Earth, this world and this time. I have always believed this and not because religion tells me to. Genetically I know we each pass our DNA on to our children. Do they know what we know, now what we have lived? I cannot say...there is more to learn. I believe we have souls for I have seen that pass from a body. It was one of the saddest times in my life yet the most eye opening for me. It awakened me to my journey and for that I am grateful. I have experienced messages from those who have passed on and I know they are there just on the other side of the veil separating what we can see from all that is really there.
