Religion Isn't Inside Walls...
>>Did you read the article in Newsweek about epiphany? You too can experience Jesus with a well guided taser shot to the head instead of all that praying.

Man wants FREEDOM. Freedom is the essence of Love.
In like manner, man wants "freedom from religion."
The religion man's ego has created has nothing to do with God the the spirit of light and Love.
Why?
Because it's based on division, definition, lables, rights vs. wrongs, good vs. bad, boundaries, barriers and limits. All of these create, sustain and fuel FEAR.
As regards for "epiphany" try this simple exercise:
1) In any thing you to today or anyday, before you start, make one simple request to God your Father and our Lord:
"Show me."
What I mean by this is that our bodies, minds, hearts and souls are FREE gifts from God. And at all times, God is in charge. He knows what's best for us during every second of every day.
The call/request to "show me" is for us, man and our egos to step completely aside and take the role of a disspassionate observer while our minds, hearts, souls and bodies simple become conduits for His energy, light and Love.
Allow God to "show you" how even the simplest tasks in our day to day lives can be filled with wonderous feelings of joy, blessing and appreciation.
For the only source of real joy and happiness comes from simple acts where the real light and energy of His Love is present. But this means that we must step aside. This means "our way" must give way to His Way of Love.
If you try this simple exercise for even a few minutes I think you will begin to understand that this is what real prayer is about. Real prayer is about using God's unconditional gifts of thought, energy, light and Love in ways that reflect/express the unconditional freedom that underlies simple acts of Love.
We are spirits. The conjunction of our minds, bodies and souls are His temple. There are no walls, limits, lables, definitions, rights or wrongs - just goodness, light and Love as applied in these simple second by second acts which represent His uses for these FREE gifts which He directs us in joyful, free and simple ways to celebrate joyfully as observers to His wonderous cause of never ending Love.
Man's "religion" has been the source of so much division, fear, pain, shame, blame, hatred and bloodshed. And this same model permeates the entire world. It's a model of pain, blame, fear and separation. Just getting over this to even believe and have faith that God still loves us unconditionally is a huge battle. Distrust and fear are the never-ending by-products. Meaning is placed "outside." Facts and truth reside "out there" only in what we can see, hear and touch. And anything spiritual is derided and questioned. Love perverts to a ego-based conditional quid pro quo paradigm. But this isn't Love for Love has no boundaries, lables, conditions.
But man's ego only understands what it can "get, take, define and control."
What are we "worshipping?"
Just look at the airwaves, Thousands of icons, Gods, egos deceptions and falsities. Every cover to every magazine is another one of man's "Gods" which we enshrine for all these things are nothing more than diestractions "away from" truth, light and love which can only be found and understood from the quiet freedom inside His temple which is within our minds, hearts and souls.
I will get credit where credit is due for man's world does produce what it's supposed to produce: lies, deception, pain, blame, shame, fear, division, war and separation. There's been an ongoing unravelling of trust and destruction of Love caused by this distractive worshipping of separation, fear and distrust. So man's model produces EXACTLY what it should produce. Read the papers, turn on the news, buy more magazines, watch Oprah and view all the commercials and go to the mall and buy, buy, buy.
In every model - businesses, corporations, governments - you will find the same seeds of "man's religion" are there. T.V. is nothing more, nothing less than a fountainhead of unreality which passes for reality. What's false is presented as true. Our whole "reality" if left to go to this extreme morphs into this Disneyworldization where everything is hermetically planned, spun, sliced and diced for us simply to passively receive more of this ego-worshipping energy which can come only at the expense of this continuing devolution of meaning, purpose for all this has nothing to do with the real light, energy and Love of God which is full of these wonderously simple, joyfull moments of happiness.
Where we are led astray is that these feelings of joy and happiness DO NOT COME FROM US!! They can only come from theis influx of unconditional Love which comes from the Lord Himself.
And we are ALL connected to this source. It's ALWAYS ON and ALWAYS THERE. All we have to do it say "Show me Lord" and step aside. View everything you do as being done by God Himself. Become a passenger for His cause. Watch what He does. He knows exactly what we need to be happy. And His yoke is very light.
None of this can be found in "man's religion." Man's "religion" is not from God. We all all seeking freedom from this religion for it has been using the name of God to enslave, divide and control mankind for centuries. And this slavery has cut this world off from a simple, joyfull understanding of these timeless truths.
Peace.
Light!
ONE!!
