no gospel of wealth wanted here
Lately, I’ve been learning more about religions. So far I’ve come to believe that there are five majors religions and everything else falls in and out of those religions. There is Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. I find that all of them relate to one another whether the practitioners chose to see the similarities or not. The conclusions that I’ve come to are that they are all different ways of finding God. I do not think that any one is better than the other. I believe that it all ends with how God chooses to communicate His plans for you. From my readings, I’m most connected with Buddhism at this age. I have my personal beliefs but then there is the word of God and how He commands us all to live in a higher state than our primal selves.
Our primal selves are attached to worldly things and materialistic possessions that trap us into a endless cycle of want and demand. I believe that these are the things that are making us all unhealthy toward ourselves. I’m not sure if I can participate in that lifestyle any longer. I do believe that we all do have a higher purpose but it is because of self-inflicted suffering that we are not able to define success and personal growth. Our personal growth is not measured by the amount of money we have in our pockets. Indeed money helps us all to live as we function in our modern society but because we praise man-made objects and primordial satisfaction we lose sight of the fact that our spiritual self needs as much attention as our mental and physical being.
For years, I have denied myself of looking for God and where I belong in the bigger picture of life. I felt that I was not a part of any plan and that I just existed as a human being. I find this lifestyle to be destructive because we begin to fall into a thought process only dealing with ourselves and no one else. We must live amongst each other as a community of people looking to find our ways toward God. Many feel that you must lose everything that you hold near and dear to you. I find that you must simply reorganize your life for better living.
I believe that one must understand what it means to “vibrate, higher.” When we are born, we’re in a low vibration operating simply to eat and sleep. As we grow, our vibration becomes higher but can be stuck on a lower level. This can lead to the unhappiness that is in all our lives from the beginning of birth. If we do not vibrate higher then we cannot achieve the gifts that God has bestowed upon us to return to Him on a plane outside of ours. Wouldn’t that be called Heaven or Paradise? Do not be afraid, just take a closer look into your heart and really begin to think to yourself if what we are doing is truthfully right. In all the religious texts that I’ve read God wants us to express love, kindness and compassion for one another. By doing these things, we gain wisdom and understanding in life. We communicate better with one another and intolerance slowly begins to fade from our hearts and minds.
By eradicating certain unnecessary fortunes of the modern world, we can begin a healing process between man and woman, husband and wife, friend and lover. For too long have we battled against one another. I do not want to participate in such harming actions. I think we should keep a good sense of humor about life in order to unearth the conventions we’ve placed upon each other. At the end of the day, everyone of every color and gender is my equal. We are just trying to find our ways back into the Divine Love that is God.
My new venture will be a trial unto myself more than anything in the world. All I can say now is “Dear Higher Power, I here you calling. Finally.”
Ha. It took me years to understand it and now I understand the need to believe in something higher than us all. Hearing that scientists only know 4% of the Universe while the other 96% is unknown can really make you think twice about if we’re really alone.
