Religion & Spirituality

"Love is the only religion, the only god, the only mystery that has to be lived, understood. When love is understood, you have understood all the sages all the mystics all the religions of the world. It is not anything difficult. It is as simple as your heartbeats or your breathing. It comes with you, it is not given to you by the society. "

The Grandeur of God is Far Greater then our
little planet and all of it's different religions
and beliefs.

     A Word about
Religion and Spirituality
      Religion serves a wonderful purpose. It provides loving
standards for living, offers reassurance in a world of fear, and
offers a pathway toward the divine. However, regardless of a
person's affiliation, each participant brings their life history and
assorted beliefs and emotions to their religious understanding.
Even the teachings of the saints have passed through density
filters and interpretations, as those who with sincerity offered in-
terpretations. Each person has their own sense of the divine.
     Whether reunion is thought of as a Heaven available only
after death, or whether it is attained as an Enlightenment or
Nirvana available through disciplined practice matters not. What
matters is one's sincerity. All prayer is prayer...all worship of
God offers the opportunity for connection, recognition and
reunion. Thus, all paths are to be blessed and honored for their
Intent. It is through the subsequent interpretation and practice
that religious conflicts are born from human minds.
     There are many helpers on the path. These teachers hold
the Light and help us find our way. However, at some point one
must simply leap. That leap of surrender is a solo plunge into
unity. Religion can bring you to the door, however, you must
walk through that door yourself and experience the Divine.
Such is the path of the mystic.
     Spirituality is the life force that spawned religion. It is the
essential truth that offers the knowing of divine connection.
Religion is the secondary expression. It was created to satisfy the
density-brain, to offer an organized response to spiritual long-
ing, to answer cosmic questions, to provide codes of conduct
and to organize people. God has no religion. Thus, all spiritual
practices, all religions, offer the potential for Divine connection.
It is up to the individ-u-will to benefit from their religion by
viewing it as a springboard to surrender.
      Humanity must learn to relax into its spiritual essence if
we are to witness Peace on Earth. The process of releasing the
refractory devices is the way to Oneness. The path to unity used
to take years. Today it can be achieved in the blink of an eye....
or a collection of moments. Be assured that Enlightenment is
more attainable at this time in history than ever before.
      Be grateful to your religion of origin. Be grateful that
there are many paths. There is one God essence seeking to
emerge through all of them. What a glorious diversity! People
ask us if the path of Self-Ascension is a religion; it is not. We
are offering practices, wisdom, and teachings designed to help
you get acquainted with your own divinity. How you walk your
path is unique to you. Each person, regardless of their level of
discernment, offers light into the world. Each is to be cherished.
Each is honored for it takes spiritual courage to be here.

Christ and the Church [link below]
Christ and the Bible [link below]

I will speak on Christ, but not on Christianity. Christianity has nothing to do with Christ. In fact, Christianity is anti-Christ...just as Buddhism is anti-Buddha and Jainism anti-Mahavir. Christ has something in him, which cannot be organized. The very nature of it is rebellion and a rebellion cannot be organized. The moment you organize it, you kill it. Then the dead corpse remains. You can worship it, but you cannot be transformed by it. You can carry the load for centuries and centuries, but it will only burden you, it will not liberate you. That’s why, from the beginning, let it be absolutely clear: I am all for Christ, but not even a small part of me is for Christianity. If you want Christ, you have to go beyond Christianity. If you cling too much to Christianity, you will not be able to understand Christ. Christ is beyond all churches.

*Alone with God - soli Deo vacare*

"Until I was alone, I never really lived.
Until I was alone, I was not with myself.
Until I was alone, I never drew near
to my Creator."
Blessed Paul Giustiniani
Camaldolese Hermit
{1476 - 1528}

What is a "Mystic"? A mystic is an individual who seeks more than their religion can give them. Religions can educate you, teach you, and help you practice the relationship between yourself and the religion in a worshipful manner, either privately or as in a fellowship with others. The mystic is the individual who seeks to have more than a social or religious relationship, but wishes to have a personal, immediate and intimate relationship with the God presence within them. The practicing mystic is one who does KNOW (and please put that in capital letters,) the presence of God within themselves. The practicing mystic KNOWS that this is a capability within themselves and everyone else.

A very great vision is needed,and the man who has it must follow it... as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky.
