X.... >>I do not see any evidence for that. What I see is that most people are drawn to religion, rather than seeking Hell.>> Agree. >>It is true that man seeks self gratification, but most men want heaven too.>> Agree. >>Delayed gratification is very difficult for some people, they seem to be born that way, I would never call that hereditary evil- that seems a very stupid and judgmental thing to call it.>> The religion mankind promotes casts the illusion of costs, rule, restrictions which, if met and adherely do, promise some set of "rewards." This is the matrix of the Black Hole which throws individuals into this illusory world where we start to believe everything is conditional, relative and carries a cost with it. Love is conditional. Truth is relative. Energy costs something. This is a mad, mad world we live in only because this is what mankind wills based on what we love which is predicated on what we believe and grow to understand and accept as reality. We don't have to a fight this. Just letting go and entering into the communion with the truth of our Divine soul is sufficient. >>But Mr. Swede can do what he likes. I was married in a Swedenborgian church, and am very sorry for it, now that I have read some of the tripe they try to sell.>> I've never stepped foot inside a Swedenborgian church, nor do I need to to receive, accept and share the truth of what Emanuel Swedenborg received and shared with mankind. An unmediated understanding of the truth of our Divine sould is best. 119293!!
