Where Is My Religion?
What are you really looking for? What is the meaning of life?
This is one of the most profound and
researched topics in the world!
To believe in immortality is one thing
but it is first needful to believe in life.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
Whether done on a conscious or subconscious level our souls bellow out to the universe the same question. Why am I here? What is my Purpose? The definition is so ex- tensive, even a defined description would be deficient. DIldano, a character in the 1968 sci-fi movie Babarella made a provocative statement; “a life without cause is a life without effect.” (What is the meaning of life? = To com- plete a task in other words, fulfill your divine purpose)
I agree a life without effect is no life at all. In fact, a very wise unknown author once said, “true freedom is to find and to follow the spiritual intelligence within you and to go where it takes you in life.”
None of this is religion. This is spirituality. Almost everyone will agree that there is a higher power. Only when we begin
to limit the name of that higher power do we begin to divide the spiritual body, which is equivalent to an invisible express- way of our connectedness.
I am a Spirit currently housed in a living breathing organ called flesh. It grows, dies, sheds, and changes. It is the oppo- site of my spirit. I have learned that it is the spiritual world; some say frequencies or energies, that effect my reality, there- fore, I look inward first to find my life’s path. My spiritual intelligence whom I choose to call the Holy Spirit then leads me to the outward knowledge needed to thrust me into my Divine calling. I must first be yielding, still, quiet, observant, and stay open and positive to the spirit within. Focusing on good and positive things.
Have you noticed that the principles for positive affirmation mimic the principles of the Bible?
Have you noticed that several proverbs be It African or Chi- nese mimic or draw the same conclusions as the word of God and its principles are parallel, only changing verbiage?
So then, it is religion and the practice that is fake. Not spir- ituality or the connectivity to the Creator, whom I acknowl- edge as God the Father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit! God who has many names, crosses all denominations shat- tering all limitations, making the impossible possible, is not to be limited to rituals but is an inner experience of life, peace, purpose, prosperity, and Hope! Because of God, I Am IMMORTAL because I Am SPIRIT!
