Ever since
man began to walk upright and have a language that could be used to form
independent creative thoughts, religion has existed. The belief systems were as varied as the
number of cultural groups. Today around
the globe there are hundreds of religions that believe they have the true
understanding of faith.
Which one is
correct? The truth is that all are
correct – in their own way for their own people. Does it matte
It is the
core of the beliefs that is critical for humanity to survive together. That central core IS the same- love a higher
power or connecting energy and love and respect your fellow man. The rest of the rules are just trappings to
control the behaviors and thoughts of the followers.
Do not fear
to be free. Free to believe only that
which makes sense to you in your heart-of-hearts. But beware of the blinders of greed, ego and
fear are that blind us to the truth and color our interpretation of truth which
impacts our decisions
The ego made
belief that one religion is more perfect or that specific adherents are the
“chosen ones” is dangerous. The belief
that people must follow a prescribed activity in order to be happy for eternity,
after the physical body has died, is dangerous.
One needs only to turn on the radio and listen to the news to know this
is true. This erroneous belief in
exclusivity has caused more suffering and death since the dawn of man than any
other belief.
It is time
to stop the lie and change the dialogue.
Remove the obstacles from your eyes of prejudice and see the truth. Every human is made exactly the same. We are all born with the same number of
organs. We walk upright not slithering
on our bellies. We all have brains to
think and hearts to modify the thoughts of the brain. Outward appearances are just ways of
distinguishing family groupings, no different than the unique strip patterns of
zebras so that the young can find its mother in the herd to suckle.
The “enemy”
is not one who looks or believes differently.
The “enemy” is the lie that tells us we are different. Remove the lie and the world lives in peace
and harmony. It is that simple.
We are one not many.
We are the same not distinct.
We are forever joined from the past,
in the present and will be in the future, as one.
Killing another human being is the
same as cutting off a part of yourself.
The repercussions are felt as a ripple throughout the human herd.
So what can
one individual person do? Change your
view of separateness into one of sameness.
Your behavior and thought patterns will naturally change too. If you change your view, others around you
will be influenced to change their view.
Eventually like dominos, we will all lie touching each other in the
connected chain that we are.
Be
brave. Change your view. Start the dominos to fall in your circle of
influence. Your circle will impact many
other circles which will impact even more.
Peace is possible if we change our view now.
We are one
not many.
