Religious or Spiritual - where are you?
This Question relates to how we see ourselves.
Most importantly - does your religion or moral standards lead you to have PEACE.
Does it give all around you a feeling of PEACE?
Do you emanate PEACE?
Does your Religious or Moral standpoint come from your understanding or has it come from parents or tradition.
Because you were born into a particular Religious or moral viewpoint does that make it TRUE?
Does it stand up to being tested?
Do we only listen to one sided issues on Religious or Morality, that confirm or strengthen our viewpoint?
Do we believe that our Religion or Moral views make us superior or better than others who do nor share our beliefs?
Do you as a Moral person consider Religion to be non-sense and vice versa for those of you who have a Religious slant?
All of these Questions when answered honestly, will lead you to PEACE.
Let us discuss a few.
First and foremost as Human Beings we are born into this life.
We are born in some area in the World.
We take upon ourselves a skin colour, language and a Country steeped in a particular Culture and / or Tradition.
This is where we start our lives on this beautiful Planet we call Earth.
We have little choice in our formative years in where we are or what we hear or what we are taught.
The responsibilty lies with those who are our parents or guardians.
Our parebts give us food and shelter and a name.
They give us guidance on what they consider to be the best way to live life.
We live our lives as our parents would.
Our Communities further strenghthen these Belief systems.
Our schooling reflects them also.
As Human Beings we are programmed into “who we think we are”.
All these points are important to live life here on this Earth.
There is no Question that we need to be taught all of the above to be able to function within society.
It is exciting to be in a World of great diversity.
All the nations on Earth add to this great diversity.
There are wonderful teachings that come from all peoples that inhabit the same Planet we all dwell on.
They in and of themselves are very very good.
So why does anyone believe that there culture or tradition is superior to anothers?
In these traditions there are Religions.
In these cultures there are different viewpoints on God.
In many families and communities there are only Moral viewpoints that are not connected to Religion.
Are any of these bad?
Do they make people Evil?
If we are born into a particular belief does it give us the right to Judge anyone who differs in any way?
These Questions can only be answered by the reader for the reader.
These Questions will set you Free from “who you think you are”.
The “illusion” wants us all to Judge others.
It wants to cause division.
It simply does not want PEACE.
PSYCHEGNOSIS wants all Mankind to ask these Questions of themselves :
1) Is it SANE to Believe that we are better or worse than any Human Being.
2) Is it SANE to believe that God considers any of us to be GOOD or EVIL because we were born in a particular part of the World.
3) Is it SANE to kill or alienate someone whose UPBRINGING made him or her different and can they be different by killing them?
4) Are any of these Judgements SANE? Only you can give these answers.
PSYCHEGNOSIS explains the reason for all of the above INSANE behaviours, is our connection to “who we think we are.”
When we as Humans realise that we are no different than any other Human Being, Peace shall be the result.
Peace does not Judge others
Peace does not alienate others.
Peace does not hate.
Peace does not feel superior.
Peace does not feel inferior.
Peace accepts all things.
Peace is PEACE from “who we think we are.”.
This is most important from freeing ourselves from the pain that it brings being connected to our Thinking Mind.
All Cultures and Societies and dare it be said - EVEN OUR RELIGIONS, are only thought systems put into action.
Maybe we need to consider twice before we connect God to our Beliefs?
It makes a beautiful World but after all is said and done they are only ideas that make up “who we are not”.
We are much better than “we think we are”.
So how Spiritually and Religiously are we as individuals seeking to be at PEACE?“
