The One True Religion

12/9/2015

Crutches are really useful devices, especially if you have a broken leg. You should store them in the cupboard under the stairs, or on that high shelf in the coat closet, for you never know when you might need them. Such is religion.

"God is a concept by which we measure our pain", said John Lennon. The more pain we have, such as with a broken leg, the more we need our crutches.

If all you humans are in boats, then it's often useful to have 'river marshalls', going around, 'saving' people from falling out of their boats, or jumping into the water, or threatening to throw others out of their boats. There will always be those among you who need 'saving'.

As Khalil Gibran's pastor said, "Satan, you must live, for if you die and the people know it, their fear of hell will vanish, and they will cease worshiping, for nothing would be sin. You must live, for in your life is the salvation of humanity, from vice and sin."

And so, you humans need crutches, river marshalls and Satan.

The word 'faith' has been for so long associated with religion, when it is much more than that. It is a belief, a conviction and a basic assumption, which is used in scientific reasoning with every argument.

And yet, many of you humans have difficulty separating your so-called faith from your actions, or your belief from your occupations.

You who wear your morality only as your best garments would be better off naked. The hurricane and the hot sun will make no holes in your skin.

You who define your conduct by so-called ethics, imprison your songbird in a golden cage. The freest song comes not through bars and wires.

You who consider worship to be like a window, either open or shut, has yet to visit the house of his soul where the windows are always open.

Your every moment is your church, temple, mosque and religion. You're always meditating, if you would just wake up and realize it.

In your dream state, you cannot rise above your accomplishments and hopes, nor fall lower than your defeats and despairs.

Do not blindly follow the clergy, who claim to have the solutions to riddles and to the 'sacred secrets' of a so-called God.

You are God, if you would just observe your Universe. You are the one who is playing and laughing with your children, singing with the songbirds, dancing among the stars and smiling with peace and thankfulness.

The one true religion is gratitude. Nothing more.

Relativity, Light and Consistency

Darkness is not a thing. Darkness is merely the absence of light. Darkness is less than being dim.

Evil is not a thing. Evil is merely the absence of knowledge. Evil is less than being ignorant. Good is brightness of light, meaning knowledge.

If one man's meat is another man's poison, or if one man's trash is another man's treasure, then one person's positive is another person's negative. And similarly, one's good is another's evil, or rather, lack of good. What is evil but good that is suffering from its own parched mouth, thirsty for knowledge? And when you are thirsty like you've never been before, you will drink even stale or foul water.

All these comparisons, light versus darkness, good versus evil and positive versus darkness, are, by definition, comparing things that are relative, rather than absolute. These adjectives cannot describe an absolute state.

The only absolute state is one that describes the mind of your Universe, or rather, the majority of the illusory separate minds that make up the one mind. The word for this is consistent. A thing that is consistent with your Universe is opposite to a thing that is inconsistent.

When you know whom you are, and one with your Universe, then you could be described as good, but when you are not yet aware of whom you are, you cannot be described as evil. You are on a journey. A traveler cannot be condemned, just because he's nowhere near his destination.

On the contrary, you could be described as good when you are striving to contribute, serve or do your duty, even if you are yet to be successful. The desire and goal is what defines you, not the achievement. Conversely, you cannot be described as evil when you are selfishly striving to gain something for yourself, for this desire to grow is also consistent with your Universe.

You could be described as good when you're aware of what you're saying and you choose your words carefully, but you're not evil when you're talking nonsense or using hurtful words. You're just learning and on a journey. Remember, even a stuttering or mumbling person has the potential to speak well some day.

You are good when you stride with confidence, but you're not evil when you stagger with a limp-like caution. At least you're moving forwards.

Always remember that you are not evil, just because you might not be good. It just means you're on your way. Maybe you're lost and searching down the wrong path, taking the scenic route perhaps, but you're still on your way, although your journey may last multiple biological lifetimes.

Your longing for reunification with the 3rd Vector Collective God-Mind is a deep desire that is in all of you humans. And this desire is consistent. It is also good. Some of you seem to get their faster than others, like a galloping Arabian Horse compared with a Galapagos Turtle. Some of you travel a straight line, while others seem to lose themselves in every dark corner, and wander into bends, nooks, angles and crannies.

Both are good, just as good as each other. Become an UPWaver today...
