Paths and Beliefs

Everyone walk their own Path.

There are many beliefs system to choose from. Today many people form their own beliefs and don't bother with religion at all. And to others the mainstream religion is perfectly ok. To each their own. Beliefs and religions are as diverse as is human nature.

A lot of religious group will use many means to have you part of their group, to believe what they believe is right. Religions^*, in themselves, are largely influence by human ego or perceptions, social need and structure, politics and power.

"Different "religions" should be merely different paths people chose to explore their own spirituality and growth. Instead in our day and age, "religion" has come to mean different forms of "power and control" and "codependency"." (quoted from Rev Pam Jackson)

Many people past brought the message of Peace, Love, Tolerance and helping your fellow human beings. They were Buddha, Confucius, Gandhi, Jesus, Mohammed, and many more. Has the leaders of the world learned anything? If the world is a reflection of the human psyche, I would say we have a lot to learn yet.

Some people can't believe that any religion but their own can be meaningful, fulfilling and true to its adherent. All religions merge at their cores, and all are true to their respective adherents. There can never be one religion, prophet, or savior that will satisfy six billions humans. Each of us must find our ideal way to attune with the Divine.

All religion merge at their core and the message is the same in all: Love, the Golden Rule,  help thy neighbor. It's time we start living in harmony with each another, with nature, and with the natural forces of the universe. Fear and Power over others and nature are not the values we will need to survive in the twenty-first century.
