Default Religion does not equal Spirituality

We as humans on our earth need to accept that we do not have a very big awareness when it comes to the entire universe.

If we were to expand our awareness all across the universe, what do we get? That is what I will try to explain here.

When we factor in all of the scientific and spiritual abilities into the equation, we get a very expansive sense of reality.

(Note: I use the Christian religion and its 'God' in this explanation but it is the same for ALL religions that worship a deity, a 'God', simply replace the words with any religion)

For example, given that the universe is currently estimated to be 13.7 billion years old, we must realize that we as humans on this earth, are no older than maybe several hundred thousand years. Which is still, only 0.000018% of the life of the universe, we are but a blink in time. Therefore, it is fantasy and lack of awareness to think that we are the only 'living' things out there, we may be one of few species who have a physical body, while many more are a 'spirit' on the astral, but we are simply not the only living species. I realize this will create the question 'well why have they not contacted us yet?'. Well in fact they have, many people contact beings on the astral, and we have in fact been contacted by physical beings, just not on a global scale (yet), these tend to be individual encounters or encounters involving mind manipulation, however I do not plan to go into the details in this article, perhaps another time. Besides, if you were a super advanced society that had the ability to manipulate your environment at will using your mind, would you care what some barbaric society was doing on the edge of the galaxy on their own little planet? I think not. And we need to realize that! I think it is the number one problem that our planet faces right now. In fact they are likely watching us, waiting for us to leave our galaxy and inhabit another one, where they will then congratulate us for finally passing galactic kindergarten!

When we are to realize that we very well may have been 'created' by another entity who has existed for billions of years before us, then what is this 'God' that religion's worship? Well it is nothing more than a fairy tale creature. Think of how science is leading into the ability to clone living animals and humans, and modify their dna, which can eventually lead to the creation of a new species.

So why do we worship a thoughtform, a 'God', when we are a god ourselves, we are 'creators' of our very existence. Only when we accept that, will we then be able to do what was done to create the human species, we will have the power of the same beings that created us, we will be able to manipulate energy at will, we will be able to traverse the universe through wormholes, we will be able to live in peace and harmony with the energy/environment around us (which is where quantum physics and metaphysics is finally starting to take us).

Believing in the view of God in today's religion as being some fairytale creature in the sky who will send us to a happy place if we accept him or else torment us for all of eternity if we do not is mere fantasy and is only used to control the populance. For example, the fear of being sent to an eternity in a burning furnace if you 'sin' or the fear of being left behind if you do not accept this so called 'God', FEAR is the 4 letter word used in religion (and governments for that matter) and it equals CONTROL of the people.

When we look at it in this way, we can see that the 'God' that religions worship today, is very much the same as the original christian belief that the sun/stars revolved around the Earth. Only when they were able to expand their awareness further out into the universe, were they able to understand that in fact, this was false. So this 'God' in religion is not some guy in the sky, it is in fact those who created us, another race of beings, and they did so for a purpose which has passed. They left us here to evolve on our own and to become gods. We must expand our awareness of this if we are to evolve!

The current world is only being manipulated and used by those in power due to what religion has done to society, governments and religious institutions have all of the wealth, (think: the wealth of the christian church) Its almost as if we are returning to the time when there were KINGS and QUEENS.

So what has Christianity done to make this happen? Think, the The Inquisition, the dark ages, heretecism, satan/evil (as the christians depict it), the hundreds of years that scientific knowledge was suppressed, and STILL IS, the morals that we are founded on today are in whole a result of christianity, and they are LIMITING to say the least. In the past the church used materialism to wooo and awe the people so that they would come to church everyday (or slit their throats in the night if they didn't), these magnificent structures erected in the center of impoverished lands, people living in shacks, while these structures of gold were built. Its no different today, the church is worth trillions and trillions of dollars. This is NOT SPIRITUAL in any way at all, it is wholely MATERIAL. If only more people would expose themselves to true spirituality.. the feeling of inner peace, bliss, and wholeness that it creates. Through meditation, expanded conciousness, and mainly just an awareness of the TRUTH. I myself can honestly say I could not have it any other way, meditation is the key to spiritual advancement and this knowledge is suppressed from the populance, it is only very recently that it is beginning to resurface on a large scale.

There has in fact been many occult societies in the past, who were on their way to achieving spiritual evolution, in fact the knowledge can be found today if you know where to look (feel free to ask me in a PM). One of humanities greatest examples is the Egyptians, among the heiroglyphs in the pyramids and temples, one can find the instructions for reaching 'godhead', the spiritual evolution that enables you to become a creator, a manipulator of your environment, an immortal soul, the ability to move on in the afterlife and continue our existence (which is in fact the true meaning of "The Book of the Dead" - it was given this name to keep the broad populance from understanding it, it should in fact be called "The Book of the Light" - the TRUE SPIRITUAL TEXT. Christianity is merely a misinterpretation of this, spiritual evolution (continuation into the afterlife) does not happen on its own, it takes work, the Egyptians and all other ancient cultures knew this.

The religions of today have destroyed and warped much of the spiritual knowledge, and those at the 'top' are using this knowledge that was given to us by those beings who created us (and then passed down through the ages, carved in stone etc.) to humanities detriment. Think of all the spiritual psychic energy being released in the christian churches, where does it go? Well it is being channeled somewhere, and being manipulated by those at the top for their own agenda. Is it being used to make the world we live in a better place? If you look around, you can see the answer is no. There does not have to be starvation in Africa, there does not have to be incurable diseases, there does not have to be war. If the knowledge of the power within us would only be accepted by the majority, we could cure diseases, we would no longer be living a life of fear. We must realize that those who currently control the ruling positions on this planet seem to have a different plan in mind, religion is their tool, FEAR is the 4 letter word added to the equation that equals CONTROL.

We must all realize that we have a spiritual psychic energy within us, we all operate on this energy, and we can increase this energy and use it for our own will. We can use it to make the world a better place. Which many people are beginning to realize from seeing "The Secret" or studying the LoA or those who practice beginners meditation, well these are only basic elementary introduction courses to the true knowledge of the abilities of the mind. And guess what, the Egyptians and all other ancient societies fully understood these powers! So why is this knowledge not openly shared with us through school, and instead it is suppressed and only today are people finally gaining the knowledgeof the true meanings of the heiroglyphs and ancient texts (many of which were destroyed by the elite who seeks to control, and many are being held in vacuum sealed vaults in places such as the Vatican), but the knowledge was not widely available, however it now is, thanks to the internet.

I would like to leave you with this question to ponder, "Where is your spiritual psychic energy going? Are you using it for yourself, like we are meant to do, to live a fulfilling life of enjoyment. Or are you merely handing it over to someone else, allowing them to manipulate it for their own purposes? Such as is happening with the modern churches?"

We need to replace religion with true spiritual advancement, religion is merely a tool to create disharmony and confusion between the populance of this planet as well as suppress true knowledge and evolution. True spirituality brings unity and peace to the world, and guess what, WE MUST BE THE ONES TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN and evolve, it does not happen from some 'guy in the sky' as modern religions will have you believe, we need to take control of our lives and our evolution, not just materially, but spiritually.

I realize I may have left this open in some parts, but it is a very advanced topic that not too many people are ready to talk about, and if I wanted to fully explain it, it would take many pages.
