Take the Best, Leave the Rest
June 2, 2010
You Can leave the church
without leaving yourSELF !
On my last show the Naughty Catholic Church John Lipinski
and I looked at the current events and pitfalls of organized religion.
Points made were:
-religious teachings of old cannot provide satisfying answers to
today’s questions
-church people are starting to listen to their inner voice
-In resisting the long-held view that homosexuals have no place
in church leadership, women and men of that orientation are
being welcomed into those positions
-“You are your brother’s keeper” is going well beyond church doors,
establishing new or enlarging community outreach services
- Individuals are holding onto the godly aspects and discarding the
dogmatic rules of their respective faiths as hearts and minds are
transitioning from religion to spirituality.
- The historic side of religion is not that positive.
- The radical beliefs of some individuals are the distortions passed down
through generations of hatred and oppression; but the basis of
religion did not derive from noble purposes
- The intent of the originators, who then ruled church and state,
was to control the masses through rigorous religious rules.
- They decided what should constitute sinning and claimed that
whoever sinned would feel the wrath of a vengeful God.
-When Christianity arose, the people in power altered the records
that became the Bible so it would suit their purposes, portrayed Jesus
as the “only son of God,” and put layers of “authorities”
between the people and God.
-They also were greedy and amassed great wealth by instituting tithing and
other means of extracting money from the believers
- The influence of religion through the ages has been so powerful that it led to
the Crusades, persecution, execution, torture, imprisonment, assassinations.
-The divisiveness, caste systems and ostracism that religions have caused still
exists, and so do fear of disobeying “God’s laws” and guilt and remorse
when one strays from strict adherence.
-In the Mormon Church, families of the deceased can pay to have their
beloved souls assured one of the limited spaces in heaven.
-Despite glowing accounts from some celebrities, the Church of
Scientology basically is a mind control organization.
-Even Satanism is officially acknowledged as a religion!
-Of all that the darkness has devised throughout the ages to
capture souls, religions have been the most effective in
keeping believers in bondage.
-Once back in spirit life, souls realize that they had fallen into that spell
still another time and once again they choose to break religion’s
hold when next they incarnate.
-Religiously devout will become light workers’ greatest challenge.
-There will be widespread disbelief and confusion, and likely militant
resistance in some quarters, when ancient records are brought
forth as new evidence of what is really true.
-The souls whose religion is the foundation of their lives will need
compassion, patience and kindness—simply by living your light you can
assist those whose minds are ajar.
-No experience, however different from soul contracts, ever is wasted, and
each soul in its own timing will return to the pure love essence of its Beginnings
-It’s being observed, that church leaders and congregations of different
denominations and faiths around the world are responding to the
intensity of light on Earth.
Now we’re going to take the best and leave the rest
as we extract the gems that are embedded in Religious practices
to deepen connection to the Source/God/Higher Self/The Christ/Joy…
whatever you call it…. The Universe, All that Is that’s bigger than you.
Rituals can assist developing a deeper relationship with IT.
What rituals have life in them for you? Are there new rituals,
practices that we can create ? Are there rituals outside of
organized religion that have value?
You Can leave the church
without leaving yourSELF !
