\nIt seems that any time I post something about religion, someone somewhere seems to get offended and sends me a nasty inbox message. I do not know his or her aim. But let me explain this again so religious enthusiasts can understand, if they want to.......
\nReligion is not a bad thing per see.
\nFrom the inception of life and consciousness, man has always looked for something to worship. This is because something within steers him to ask the question: Who am I and Where do I come from.....Man looks at the sky and marvels at the wonders of the sun, stars and the timeless space above. The beauty of humanity are the races. If there was one race, humanity will be boring....Humanity resembles the flower and rainbow.....indeed the expanse of the cosmos is built in variations under a perfect law of motion......The emergence of the religions and belief system is fused in the harmonious innate psyche of the specific human race....(perceive aright)!<\/code><\/p>\n

Meaning ….every race at the beginning of their development in the race of life and consciousness see the concept of a “Divine Creator” or \u201cdeities to a Creator\u201d according to the factor within their stages of maturity, earthly locations, body density and experience. I have often asked myself, Why didn\u2019t Buddha appear in Egypt or Tutankhamun appear in the land of India or Krishna to the Incas ……the answer is easy to perceive…….Let me use the phrase: a spiritual “gene pool” ll be attracted to its type according to the spiritual needs of the people at that time line of existence……Every race has a forerunner and this is why no matter how noble the intentions of the missionaries of old to convert a foreign people to their religion, the converted were never going to absorb the messages aright and errors of transmission of that religion as we see today will only result.
\nThe missionaries could have understood the religions of the indigenous people, absorbed it and perhaps if they had the higher perception of the “God” consciousness, could have helped in the up building of the so called inferior religions of the indigenous people. In some cases the missionaries as in the case of Matteo Ricci, an Italian churchman who tried to Christianize China through Nestronianism during the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644), was st\"religion\"<\/a>unned at the teachings of Taoism. He ended up becoming a faithful of Taoism.
\nThe ancient religions of Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism in their primordial form teach LOVE…The forerunners of this religions emanated from one source in the varying degrees of origins in the higher spheres……….Let no apostasy deceive you!<\/p>\n

In one of the quotes of Islam in the Quran, tolerance is displayed by this: \u201cYou cannot guide those you would like to but God guides those He wills. He has best knowledge of the guided.\u201d Quran\/28: 56…..
\nIf some persons were reading their Holy Quran aright, they will not go killing and plundering in the name of Islam. Indeed they are actually not Muslims for the meaning of Islam is \u201cSalema\u201d meaning peace! Ignorance is a classic tool and enemy of man. When I hear ignorant Christians speak ill of Islam, it makes you wonder if this people are in fact Christians and same goes to Muslims who speak ill of Christianity…..Looking deeply at the history of this two religions…..You will find out that they are interconnected side by side like Siamese twins….If you cannot use your God given intellect and intuition to investigate…simply hold your peace and stop causing divisions, wars and blood shed to hide your selfishness and mischief. Is it not heart breaking that this two beautiful religions have fought the greatest wars till date all in the name of “kill the unbelievers”? When the forerunners were in actual fact from a one source of Light! This goes to tell you how humanity has fallen for the darkness and still rolls in it presently. Foot soldiers of darkness everywhere preaching hate, ethnic bigotry and religious intolerance.
\nThese foot soldiers do not portray the religions they claim to defend. They are messengers of Lucifer…They are enemies to the human race and even if they think they are doing God\u2019s will, they delude themselves. Do not listen to them, those whom have not yet quenched their light within……No religion preaches hate! Humans have been the problem from the inception of religion. Mischievous priests have planted errors in the histories and holy books of this sublime religions….. The vast majority of followers do not get this and this is why the world is so divided today…..May you have the strength to find that true path!……for when you do…you will arrive at that point above all religions and stand on the hills of spirituality which encompasses all religions and see things in greater details of objectivity…..That road is not easy for you must have to unlearn to re learn!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
