Vicarious Experience.... >>From that vantage point you wouldn't call yourself a Christian or a Muslim or a Jew either. But one cannot compel perspective. So I stand by my original statement.>> Your comment seemed to equate "religion" with the act of joining healthclubs - guidelines and rules someone sets in order to be accepted as a member of "the club." This is the conditional insanity of anything purported to be "created" by man. It's irrational, illogical, insane. Ego can't fathom freedom. It believes everything of any value must cost something. Hence all goodness, all truth and all love becomes acts and patterns of sacrifice, etc. Mankind's religion is in the business of selling the illusion of vicarious experience with all the conditional hooks, bells, whistles, smoke, fire, fear, limitations and restrictions. This is the insanity of hell itself. It's the rotton fruit of the serpent in the garden. Why is freedom, life, light, energy, love, singing and dancing so hard to receive, accept, share and celebrate? It's so hard because our egos are afraid of discovering that there may be a source of truth, light and energy which doesn't require any conditions and which cannot be claimed for it cannot be earned in any way, shape or form. Hence, history as we know it simply rolls up into nothingness. A BIG buzz of insanity which fades to the light of the ONE truth from our ONE Lord God in Heaven Jesus Christ. This is the fear - discovering that anything and everything with regard to ego comes to naught. We don't need Wizards of Vicarious Experience that distract and enslave from the truth of our soul. We don't need "clubs" or conditions. Religion is not what we profess or claim. It's how we live. It's how we freely receive and unconditionally share His love. 119293!!
