RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY
BY ALL NORMAL PERCEPTION .... RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY SHOULD HAVE THE SAME IDEALS ... THE SAME METHOD OF INTERPRETATION AND YET I FOUND TO MY UTTER CHAGRIN WHEN I BEGAN WITH THE LAW OF ATTRACTION AND CARRIED ON DELVING INTO THE SUBJECT .. THAT THERE SEEMED TO BE NO END TO THE AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE. I UNDERSTOOD IT INSTINCTIVELY AS SOMETHING I ALWAYS KNEW .. THOUGH A LOT OF IT WAS SIMPLY GOODNESS IN ITS MANY FORMS SO EASILY DISTINGUISHABLE AS SUCH.
THE PHRASE CHALK AND CHEESE ... COVERED BY THE COLOUR OFF=WHITE .. ARE BUT OFF SHOOTS OF WHITE .. THE COLOUR OF PURITY. THE FIRST RELIGION SHARED BY GOD ... THOSE WERE THE BASIC GUIDELINES FOR LEADING A GOODLY LIFE. MANY RELIGIONS FOLLOWED ... BUT RELIGION WAS BUT KNOWLEDGE .. IT WAS EXPECTED OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO STUDY IT .. CULL OUT THE PART THAT WAS RELEVANT FOR THAT PARTICULAR LIFE AND LEAVE OUT THE REST. BUT RELIGION GOT BIG AND BULKY AND ULTIMATELY LEFT OUT THE PERSON IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP. DOGMAS TENDED TO HOLD LIFE AT A RANSOM. MANKIND BEING PART SPIRIT BEGAN TO RIDDLE RELIGION WITH RITUALS ... THE PHYSICAL EXPRESSION OF A GOOD SPIRIT. THIS WAS FINE WHEN PEOPLE HAD TIME TO SPEND ON COMPLEX RITUALS WHICH REQUIRED A LOT OF TIME. LIFE HAS PROGRESSED AND LEARNT TO LEAVE SOME THINGS OUT OF LIFE SO AS TO SIMPLIFY IT FOR BUSY LIVES.

THE ONE ASPECT WHERE RELIGION ... AS IT IS PERCEIVED IN OUR PRESENT DAY ... AND HOW IT SHOULD REALLY BE ... IS INCLUSIVE. IF PEOPLE HELD AN OPEN MIND .. RELIGION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE INCLUSIVE ... A BIGGER DATA TO DABBLE THROUGH .. COVERING THE PROGRESS OF DIFFERENT MINDS WITH DIFFERENT IDEAS .. RELEVANT FOR SOME .. IRRELEVANT FOR OTHERS .. ONLY RELEVANT FOR THE MIND THAT CHOOSES SUCH AN EXPERIENCE FOR ITSELF.
SPIRITUALITY IS BUT THE DABBLING MIND INTENT ON LEARNING MORE OF ITSELF ... THE IRONY IS ... THIS SHOULD ALWAYS BE A PRE-REQUISITE FOR ALL MINDS .. FOR LANGUAGE OR PARAPHRASING IN ONE OR THE OTHER .. THEN BECOMES EASY TO UNDERSTAND. THE FIRST ONE THAT COMES TO MY MIND IS ... HANGING BY A LONG ROPE.
THE QUESTIONING MIND .. SO INTENT ON LEARNING .. NEITHER FINDS TIME HANGING HEAVY OR IS BORED. WHEN MONEY IS SCARCE TO DO THE MANY ACTIVITIES THAT MONEY IS GENERALLY GOOD AT PROVIDING ... MORE OF EVERYTHING ... HOLIDAYS, HOUSES, CARS, THEY ARE BUT ABSTRACT POSSESSIONS TO SERVE THE PURPOSE OF GIVING YOU THE GOODLY LIFE. IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY AND A LOT OF TIME .. WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH IT.
FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF IS ONE WAY TO GO DOWNHILL ... ILLNESSES ..ETC THEN TAKE UP AND FILL YOUR TIME. WHATEVER LITTLE MONEY YOU MAY HAVE HAD IN THE FIRST PLACE ... THEN GET SPENT ON THE DOCTOR .. RATHER THAN GIVING YOU A HAPPY LIFE. TOUGH LUCK .. NO HOLIDAYS ETC ETC. ITS BYE BYE TIME .. BABY.
