Into the Mystics

There are many major religions in this world, and all but one has something in common. They all have a savior, or divine Soul that came to teach people about love, and God. The only exception is the Jewish religion who, have not yet recognized their savior, but have had numerous prophets, to teach them the way.
Each of these religions’ focus is directed entirely on their own savior without regard to any of the others. It is as if the followers of all religions were wearing blinders, so they cannot see the lives of the other saviors, prophets, and mystics that have also come to help mankind evolve spiritually. The blinders that the followers wear are so large that they not only do not recognize other saviors, but they fight wars and kill each other over whose savior is the true Son of God.
This is something that all God saturated Souls would be aghast about, and would never want to be associated with.
It seems to me that the followers of all religions worship their messenger, but have forgotten their message: love, compassion, forgiveness, gratitude.
In the course of human history there have been literally hundreds, if not thousands of these enlightened beings who have come into this world to uplift mankind and teach the lessons of love. Not one of these beings came to start a religion. All religions were started after these souls departed the physical. They were started by their followers, who were not as spiritually advanced, but wanted to spread the words of their beloved.
The purpose of this article is to bring to light a few of these mystics, and saviors, that came, taught, and were often martyred for their efforts. If you are not aware of many of these names, I recommend that you Google them to learn of their teachings, and how they helped the people of their times. It is time we all took off our blinders and realized there have been many God saturated Souls. They all are basically teaching the same lesson; love God, love yourself, and love your neighbor as yourself.
Jesus, Krishna, Rama, Mohammad, Buddha, Lao Tse, Zarathustra, Kabir, Rumi, Confucius, Pythagoras, Plato, Rebazar Tarz, Gopal Das, Padre Pio, Lao Tzu, The Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Moses, St. Paul, Paul Twitchell, and Harold Klemp.
These are just a few of the divine souls who have come to help man evolve.
Each of these Souls came to uplift, and teach the peoples of their regions, and times. They all came for one reason; their love for God, and their desire to teach others of that love which will show them the way.
If we can awaken to the similarities of these mystics, we can begin to understand our oneness as a people of God, and not dwell on the supposed differences. We can start loving each other as sons and daughters of God instead of killing each other.
I know all of the above would be very happy with that.

Fear VS Tolerance

When our founding fathers started our great country, it was based on the tenet that all men are equal, regardless of their religion or creed. This is something we all outwardly want; nobody wants someone else to tell them what to believe. The problem is that there are way too many of us who have no problem telling others what they should believe. I believe this is called hypocrisy.
Most major religions outwardly preach that if you don't belong to their church that you are doomed to Hell. I grew up Catholic, and back in the 1960's they instilled this upon us, over and over. As I got older and went to college, I grew to be more of a free thinker. The reason the religions hang Hell over your head, like the Sword of Damocles, is to keep control over you. If they can keep you afraid of going to Hell, you will follow their laws, keep giving them money, and never leave them.
We need to stop being afraid.
The government uses fear to regulate us, and the churches have been doing it for millennia.
Fear also breeds intolerance. The major problems of our world are all rooted in intolerance between the different faiths. Each faith is dead set that they are right, and will fight to the death to prove it.
Any faith can pull out some obscure line from their important book to justify killing others. I have heard it from all sides. They even pull up lines to condemn homosexuals, people of color, and just about anybody else they don't like.
Instead of looking for obscure lines to justify sin, remember the main premise of all religions: Love God, love yourself, and love thy neighbor. It's not that hard. Be yourself, follow whatever religion you choose...but allow your neighbor the right to do the same.
When I was a little boy, I'd much rather they taught me that than about Hell. I would have had a lot less sleepless nights. .

Condensing Infinity

Man's view of God really hasn't changed much in the last 4,000 years. Even today, most people's conception of God resembles Michelangelo's famous depiction on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City. There is God, often depicted as a gray-haired, bearded old man, and there is Man, created by God, but separate and distinct from God.
This sense of being separated from God has been used and compounded by the religions of the world. They have set themselves up as intermediaries between Man and God. This position has given the religions immense power because Man feels he needs a religion to connect him to God. Without this connection, Man has been taught that he will be doomed to an afterlife of eternal damnation.
It is time that mankind be told the truth. The consciousness of mankind has progressed enough that many can finally cut the umbilical cord between the Self and organized religion. Mankind is now an adult and can stand on its own two feet.
The only separation between Man and God is the wall each of us has built to hide our self from God. The need to hide from God is the result of guilt and shame that has been hammered into us by the religions.
Let's talk about God.
In truth, there is nothing that can be said about God; to do so is to limit the limitless. However, since we are working through a human brain, we cannot comprehend the limitless, so I will try to condense infinity for comprehension purposes. God is, you are. Does that help? No? Then let me condense infinity some more for you. God is love; we exist because God loves us.
Since there is truly no separation between God and Man, does that mean that each of us is God? Because each of us has developed an ego in order to function in this world, that is not totally correct. It would be more correct to say, God is each of us!
Why is there evil and hatred in the world? Each soul has been given free will, and not all have learned the lessons of love. It takes thousands of lifetimes to learn through trial and error all the lessons needed to be learned before revelation has been earned. All of these lessons are about, and based on love.
That is why love has been stressed by every Saint and Savior that has ever come to help Man evolve. All you need is love!
There really is nothing else to say.
May the blessings be.

What Is Truth? Pt.2



Truth is something we all think we have, or are looking for. Blessed is the searcher of truth, for sooner or later he will find it.
As mentioned previously, there is one universal truth, but due to the fact that we are all living in different states of consciousness, at different levels, we all are not ready to accept, or comprehend that truth. This truth is mentioned or hinted at in every holy book ever written. I have talked about it in several different posts (“Condensing Infinity”, “Duality”, and “The Awakening”).
The funny thing about truth, is that it cannot be learned, it can only be realized. Even the most educated people will not recognize truth if they are not spiritually ready. The truth is, that the truth is surprising simple. There are no long equations to memorize, and no deep mysteries to be solved. The truth is and has always been out in the open for you to grasp.
The problem is that there are many road blocks in the way to finding truth. These roadblocks have been put in your way by the religions and governments in order to keep you under their control. Anyone attaining truth cannot and will not ever be controlled by an outside force. The religions of this world know this, and that is why they have worked so diligently over the millennia to suppress the truth.
Even as I speak these words, there are fundamentalists out there ready to go on the attack; saying that I am trying to lead souls down the path to hell, and that I am a member of Satan’s minions.
Nothing could be further from the truth. I freely offer my truth to you, with no thought of reward, or asking for money. How many religions can claim this? I am detached from what you decide as truth, I leave that responsibility solely to you. How many religions do that?
I am detached because I know each person will accept whatever truth they are ready for, and nothing else. Each person must make their own spiritual decisions, on their own, without interference from me or any religious body.
However, It is imperative that each of us strive to hold the highest truth that we are spiritually capable of handling, whatever that truth may be; because that is what you will manifest into your life. You should try to be as positive, and as love filled as possible.
May you find the truth.
May the blessings be.

Fear Mongers

It has long been known that the simplest and most effective way to control a population of people is through fear.
The reason Vlad the Impaler did the gruesome acts he did was to strike fear in the local population, thereby making them easier to control. The reason most religions put the fear of eternal damnation and fire and brimstone on their parishioners is to keep them in line.
Throughout history, one will find that people in power have used fear to maintain the status quo. The times have changed, the tactics have changed, but fear is still the primary tool used to control people. In the past, priests wore strange costumes, muttered strange words, and staged elaborate ceremonies to evoke fear, and awe, in the people. The priests were the tools of those in power.
Today we have CNN, FOX News, and other media outlets acting as the stooges for the power elite. Their primary purpose is not to inform as much as it is to occupy your attention with reasons to be afraid. If you are aware, you will notice that the things to be fearful of are constantly changing...sort of a fear du jour, if you will. Twenty-five years ago it was the Russians, Libya, the ozone layer, AIDS, the possibility we are heading for a new Ice Age, and the Ayatollah, to name a few. Today they are occupying us with the threat of terrorism, global warming, Korea, Iran, the sinking economy, Ebola, ISIS, and many others.
When one thing gets so worn out that it no longer elicits the proper amount of fear, the power elite will find, or create a new one to replace it. Many people believe that 9/11, and the subsequent war on terror, was allowed to happen, if not totally orchestrated, by high-level members of our government under the control of (or in cahoots with) the global power elite! The evidence is very strong to back these claims up.
The reasons behind keeping us fearful is an old magician's trick. While we are watching or preoccupied with what one hand is doing, we fail to see what the other hand is doing. While we were so worried about terrorism and personal safety, we allowed many personal freedoms to be eradicated by the government. The government, through the NSA, can and does eavesdrop on our personal emails and phone calls. Big Brother is no longer a possibility, but a reality.
As FDR said during WWII, "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself". We all need to wake up to this shell game they have been playing on us before "America: land of the free, and home of the brave" becomes neither one.

Fear Is Spiritual Poison

Many people today are living in a constant state of fear. They are afraid of going to hell, they are afraid of terrorist attacks, they are afraid of governmental control, they are afraid of the economy, they are afraid of the price of oil, etc. Very few people realize that we are, and always have been conditioned to be fearful. The major news networks are nothing more than government run fear mongers, and it is impossible to watch them without becoming fearful, or depressed. Your major religions are always telling you that you will burn in hell for all eternity if you don't follow their dictates. The average person's anxiety level is maxed to the limit.
There is a reason for this. Governments, and religions have always acted hand in hand to keep the population under control. There is no easier way to control people than to keep them living in fear.
Fear is spiritual poison. Fear closes down the natural pathways between man and the divine within. With these pathways closed down man is nothing more than an animal, instead of the spiritual being he truly is. There is a reason religions liken their followers to sheep; they want you to merely follow along and contribute to them, not to grow spiritually, or to be different.
If you truly want to grow spiritually, and if you truly want to be free, you need to escape the bonds of fear. Life is to be lived, and experienced; this cannot not be done while living in fear.
As long as you feel you have something to lose; your life, your house, your soul, etc. you will be subject to fear. Realize you have nothing to lose, and fear loses it's grasp.
Then you can reconnect with the divine and realize you have everything.
