Religion is a Spiritual Path, an Education, A Journey To The Soul...?

Where on The Freeway of Life Are You At This Time..?

Where Have You Been, And What Do You Envisage as Your Ultimate End...?

Thankyou For Your Responses.

Update:

Religion is not bs, corrupt preachers and malleable religious leaders succumbing to media bs trends are bs, politicians are bs, satan and his whore witcgh troupe are a pile of bs, casting a bs shadow over our Sacred and Noble Beautiful God and His Religious Sanctum.

Update 2:

Emotional baggage is cleared out be exposing and addressing its issue. Left festering it undeniably causes harm. Minions using Religion and its Spiritual Institution as a Platform primarily to achieve their own ambitions than any Moral Authority or Love for Humanity have caused damage to religion, politics and to part science. Expelling these slags attached to the underside of an otherwise unsinkable ocean liner if the cure. Better insult the establishment than see Gods house being maligned and accused for their sins.

Update 3:

Why does the ramp appear incomplete, the path littered with obstacles at times seemingly inextricable, inescapable and insurmountable. Is it ingrained apathy and indoctrinated subservience to an unknown state interests. A lack of trust of one another fuelled by engineered wars to maintain mistrust and hate, racial, religious, national, social and gender...? The system is diseased from the very top to the lowest ranks by stalwarts retarding and hindering the strong to further the weakest consumed with sin vices and need to overcome and equate with the strong. The matrix is woefully real. If we are to expend time in discussion may as well be fruitful that mere ranting to vent or repetitive criticism without recognition of the true causal factors of all societal and world ills, co0nstructive and productive time expenditure?

Update 4:

Religion was designed primarily to liberate the Human Spirit as the penultimate end to a religious path designed to release from fear and ignorance the faithful understanding souls. Yes it is horrendously marred and maligned but far lesser so than the cesspit that politics and commerce have become. Free will, freedom of speech should be accorded to the self realised and worldly if not of Universal Consciousness. It is not, it is rather exploited by extremist elements and reactionaries causing havoc and overt attention seeking to their own deficiency within the system, diverting attention from religious and spiritual freedom towards the most mundane and immoral issues imaginable. That is not the cause of religion, rather the effects of irreligiosity and aggravated heathenism. Admittedly these extremist infiltrate religion, familiarity of one another serves in overcoming fear of the unknown although at times creates ‘’group’ or mob mentality of ‘many cultures’ as vile as the tribal cau

Update 5:

Gods collective conscience or satans global mob rule, a fine line indeed.

Update 6:

For skin* read Akin.

Update 7:

The True Christians, Judaics, Catholics, Islamics, Hindus, Sikhs and Religious are perfect portals of proof for their religion. God or the Godly is not found on forums of the angry and disillusioned, because One hasn’t found God doesn’t infer his nonexistence.

If the only thing you have learnt from your bible study classes is survival, to kill or be killed, then maybe you should consider changing your teacher. What a tragic lie.

The scenic route if Life Well Travelled. Religion is teaching understanding of human and social law to civilise people in readiness for spiritual awakening, self realisation or being ‘reborn’. Relationship is the connectivity to a higher consciousness, freeing from earthly bounds.

Yes It Is. Skin to RS it is besieged by ingratiates and the mob set upon it an empowered media and state. Holy War.

Update 8:

Terry – With that much Faith, Integrity, Love and Spirit You Should Easily Conquer the invasion within you. Submission through fear to sin, hate or cancer is the weakness. A firm resolute Mind and Heart will not only expel rogue cells intruding into your Sanctum but create a stronger Personage for having won the battle. As evil dictates a timeline and path and man succumbs thus the greatest pain of cancer if the woe and suffering of our Loved Ones witnessing our plight. Anger, resentment strengthens cancer cells, Love, Resilience to Falsehood and a Fate given dilemma to Gods Child will not only assist you through recovery but make you far stronger as an individual. Peace, Love and Longevity To You.

Update 9:

Life, living, many lives, what is teh point is we have not gained freedom, Freedom allows immortality, release from the ongoing cycle of life and death. Fear causes craving for anything other than our own Universal Soul. What greater freedom can there be to find all our needs met Within, with The Power of Spirit to Find Our Greater Soul In Loved Ones about us. The Collective Conscience, and will as One as Liberty. Is this not true Eden..

Update 10:

Niamh – sometimes and most frequently the path and highway is a route to our self. The greatest mystery and goal is our own subconscious itself a door to our true self. You often find folk here so consumed by an anger raging within of misdeeds and wrongs life has inflicted upon them. Breaking through these walls of grievances, anger, hate, ambition and the need and excessive energy they create to find our True Soul trapped within is the greater part of the journey. One cannot be truly free without destroying the barriers erected by life and circumstance within.

    Religion is the path to fear and uncertainty!

    Spirituality is the path through life leading to God for those who use the brain that God gave them to guide them forward, as it allows each of us to individually explore and experiment in life as we are meant to, for only through wide experience can we find understanding and wisdom..

    Spirituality allows us to think for ourselves, for the truth is within us, literally..We need to listen to the still small voice within!

    I have been on life*s highway for nearly 70 amazing years, have faced deep disappointments and frustrations, as well as having learned SO much and experienced many wonderful happenings including meeting and talking with Angels and spiritual guides, one a Dragon spirit, Ive physically met three non-human very loving Pleiadian ET*s in 1992 and now work, guided by Angels, to teach, comfort and heal!

    Now Ive a new *project*, for Ive just been told I have malignant cancer, but Ive also been *told* from within that I wont need to die and that this will be used to help teach others how they too can self-heal in the dramatically changing spiritual energies which are now triggering EVERYTHING to change here on Earth, from our planet, the weather, our bodies and even time itself, which is speeding by ever faster!

    We dont ever have an ultimate ending, for life never ends as we are not the physical body we see in our mirror each day, but the spiritual being within which animates that physical form!..We*ve lived before this life and will continue when this one ends..I have no fear..

    I am happy, at peace, fulfilled but also quietly excited when I consider what the next three years will bring to Earth and humanity and the wonderful opportunity it offers to those of us who have come to Earth to teach and assist others!

    My Soul is happy and contented..Ive got to know him and he*s quite a nice guy!

    Hello Wisdom, sorry you feel tormented. I am on a path that allows me to pick truths from various sources, religious and otherwise and apply them to my life wherever appropriate. I am at a place within myself where I have found what it is that would make me happy, but am able to be content not to have it right now because it would cause others pain.

    I have been a Baptist, a Wiccan, an Atheist, and now have found my true self as a mystic and seeker.

    In the end, I will be surprised by whatever level of service those who have acheived more than I set me to do. I look forward to the time when I leave my physical body behind and remember all of my past experiences from lives that I had to temporarily forget before coming into this one. I look forward to floating, flying by the power of thought, manifesting things of beauty and being able to experience true oneness and pure honesty with my fellow beings from near and far aways places. And I look forward to seeing loved ones that have already passed, includeing animal friends. Namaste

    I do not consider myself a religious person. I am, however, a spiritual one. I have gotten off 'the freeway' of life and am on the slower, meandering footpath of spiritual exploration. While I name myself Pagan and Unitarian Universalist, neither is a 'religion' to me in the sense I think you mean the word. I have been a Catholic, but I left that wreck-strewn way to this much slower, calmer path years ago. My end will be crossing the bridge to the Summerlands at my death in this lifetime.

    With Christianity, you never get there. There's always more to learn. So I (though not being in a religion at all - I'm Christian) would be starting out. I always will be. I will learn things as I go, but if anyone tells you they are a perfect Christian, then they are probably not Christian at all.

    And Christianity isn't really a journey to the soul, it's more a journey after God's heart.

    Paths and journeys suggests that the way to truth is far away and requiring education suggests that we are not in possession of it.

    Truth is so close that we only have to look and we can see..the trouble with religion is it points away from it.Truth is within and only needs revealing....no religion required.

    Religion is a stumbling block to your spirituality. It bogs you down with irrelevant dogma to waste your time and energy, deliberately.

    The only thing my people have learned from religions is to kill or be killed.

    We have learned that lesson well. :)
