Trust.... >>believe in God - distrust all organized religion whatever the symbols and signs.>> ...ALL "disorganized" religion whatever symbols and signs. Trusting in what man claims to "organize" is trusting in man. Trusting in what God creates naturally and should come naturally, free from claims that can only constrain, limit and pervert the free flowing reception and sharing of His energy, light, truth and love. The designs of God's vast creation may on the surface only "appear" disorganized, but there's a vast intelligence and discipline behind the force of His creation. The more we see the many ways that this natural organization manifests the more we will "let go" of our egoic attempts at claiming to "create" something that has nothing to do with us. We are all simply "receivers" - ie. conduits - that have been blessed to manifest the "effects" of God's vast divine Design and Order which is His Love through usefullness and service to others. Where ever we happen to be, when we truly "go to church" we are simply going back home to the essence of the divine truth of our spiritual souls which is the foundation of the true reality of our life. Emanuel Swedenborg wrote that the proper order of mankind in this natural-physical realm is be "the church" which is nothing more than the manifested "effects" that proceed from the "causes" in the spirtual heavens which originates in ONE End/Source that is the Lord God Jesus Christ. He confirmed that we are each made in the image of Heaven which is in the image of the Lord himself. That the Lord God Jesus Christ descended from heaven and took on an earthly body only allowed for the "effects" of this divine heaven to manifest in the outmost particulars of this domain - and the result of this process was the scriptural fullfillment of the Divine Plan which cut off the forces of Hell from expanding any further, thus creating a New Heaven and a New Earth which is referred to as The Kingdom of Heaven. And we are all part of fullfilling the creation of this New Jerusalem, the receipt and manifestation of which is what His "Second Coming" is all about! Receive the spirit of the Lord!! Receive the truth of the Lord!! Receive the Light and Life of the Lord!! Thanks for sharing AJ! Happy Thanksgiving Season to ALL! Peace and God Bless! 119293!!
