The divine by any other name

Perhaps in our evolution we have needed religion to give us some kind of belief to believe in, but now we can evolve beyond that and know what is real and what is not...

It is said that the vast ocean deep is but a drop in the sea of divine love and that if you took all the trees and made them into paper and all the water and made that into ink it would not be enough to write and describe the beauty; which must mean it’s pretty damn big or it’s indescribable.

So how would you define something that can’t be defined? How would you describe something that’s indescribable? Would you make an image with a long white beard and say: this is what it is? Would you make a religion and say: we speak in the name of the unutterable? Would you say: we believe in the made religion and the bearded man as being that which created all, and of course we believe in his family: his son, his mother and father and the belly buttons on Adam and Eve and the ghost that’s holy.

Would you believe this of your own volition or would your belief come from the religion that was made that tells you what to believe and tells you what to think and how to think it?

Many names there are the world over to say the name of the creator and as many religions to say this is the one true way and all others are not to be believed in; and in this way the human race is divided and kept in ignorance by the ignorant believing in false idols and praying to the image given to them to pray to.

Thinking for yourself about this is against the rules of all religion and is frowned upon to put it mildly and at one time you would have been killed for it most horribly and although in the west it isn’t done anymore there are some parts of the world where you can still be murdered for your beliefs if they are against the main-stream religion.

Before we all came into being there was no such thing as a man or woman but over a long period of time we evolved to become what we are now; but it has been said we are made in the image of our creator, and even though the creator has no image this is taken as true, but if one was to think for themselves then perhaps our true likeness to that divine would be in our hearts and not these finite bodies that one day will turn back into dust where they came from.

It is time to think for ourselves and to re-evaluate all that we have been told. And if someone comes to talk about the divine in us, let’s not go calling him the son of god but rather see him or her as someone enlightened that can show us the beauty in ourselves and that perhaps if allowed can show us the way out of the darkness we have all fallen into.

And if there’s a reason we are here it seems likely that it is joy in love and if one was to awaken that in us, surely that one would be known in that and recognised, not by words so much but by the feeling felt and a knowing deep inside of what is true or not.

A belief is not real because it can change, so it seems incumbent upon us as individuals that we know for ourselves and not to believe as a group where our minds are directed along the well-worn paths of someone else’s belief patterns. If thrashing around in the dark was going to do it for us we would all have become enlightened long ago.

But to know for ourselves, each in their own heart who we are and why we’re here by getting in touch with that divine within us.

Religions don’t want you to think for yourself because as soon as you do they’ve lost you, because anyone who thinks for them-self steps outside of the fallacy and begins to see it for what it is.

When you’ve been in the presence of the divine you will know, but until then it will be a belief to be argued over and divided up into as many parts as there are religions.

All that has been said here by me is the expression of my life experience and should not be confused in any way with your own truth that you should find for your-self.

Buddha said: believe only what strikes a chord in your own heart. Another famous man said: the kingdom of heaven is within you.

There have been many who have come to show us where to look, but to paraphrase another past master from out of the mists of our past: seek the master of the times and ask him for his knowledge.
So, I will finish this with a saying from Mr Prem Rawat: all that you are looking for is inside you.
