There is only one God but that God has so many
facets, a personality and form that is the

perception of every individual creature who looks
to see God. If we could share our perceptions we

could get a greater, more complete understanding

of the greatness and goodness that is God.

Religions do not encourage this sharing rather they

seek to impose their view of God and their view

alone, presenting only the narrowest view, but one

that gives the religion the control over another’s

spirituality. The individual following a religion

has irresponsibly surrendered their Spirit to that

belief. Under these circumstances if an individual

harbours guilt the aspect of God they will perceive

will be as the God of truth and therefore a

threatening judgemental God, and this is not God.
