Crazy Idea

If Jesus was God trying to awaken mankind to the Christ Concept (aka "sonship") AND if that message is that what Christ is, we ARE... then what?

Spiritual Research

What have you tried in an effort to tap into the God presence in you and around you?
Why not try?  Test and see... seek your own supernatural experience of tapping into the spirit.

How? Try the following, but not as an act to be accepted by people or God but just to experience your own real connection with your spiritual source.

Try praying. Simply acknowledge God during some quiet time alone and speak your heart.  If you are a little to jaded from all the misrepresentations of God to be sincere in praying to "God" (the old white haired guy in the sky), then verbally call out to know the unknown God or your ETERNAL SOURCE.

Try fasting.  Simply set some healthy constraints on your eating with a focus of experiencing a supernatural expression of love, peace and joy.

Try open and honest conversation. Don't be afraid to talk to people about your God experience or spiritual life.  HOWEVER also be BOLD enough to end the conversation when it seem to take an unhealthy or negative turn.  Don't waste time with arguing or debates.

Try anonymous acts of kindness.

Try giving sacrificially.  Give up something you enjoy or value to contribute to the well being of someone else (EVEN IF IT SEEMS THAT PERSON IS BETTER OFF THAN YOU).

Just try any or all of these 5 things and observe, note and share your experience with us.

PERFECT religion?

What would be the PERFECT religion?

If you were God and mankind was your offspring what rules would you set as a divine parent?

Who needs another religion?

The first definition of "religion" as listed by Dictionary.com:

a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

Does the world need another religion... Do we need another reason to debate, to judge or to hate.  In uncertain times with economic instability, political mayhem, social unrest, widespread disease  and pandemic apathy what do we need; more to believe in or more to doubt?

Honestly, "religion" may have earned a bad rap but practically speaking doing things "religiously" is important to the integrity of human society.  Imagine an employee that only shows up to work sporadically and not religiously.  Or a relationship without the ritual of religiously communicating (both verbally and sexually).

Yes its true,... There are so many annoying if not dangerous attributes of religion that it's masses of devoted slaves seem to happily endure at the expense of humanity.  But before we through this baby out with the dirty diaper... is there any aspect of having a standard that has value.  Is there any redeemable value in the concept that there is something more to us than us.  Ok, for the intellectual it may be hard to swallow that the force that is the canvas of all reality has a personality...but wouldn't it be cool if it did? And if it did, making nice with it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Whether we call it "religion", "faith", "belief system", "opinion" or "mantra"; Human beings are gonna have them until we evolve to the point where we no longer have butt holes.  So why not find a way to live with them in a way that doesn't make the world (or media airways) a cesspool.

For all those that hate the intolerance of religion... how 'bout a little tolerance.  We'd love to have your intellect help us explore the positive potential of faith.

Spirituality Basics

The objective of ALL spiritual truth is encapsulated in the greatest commandment or spiritual law referenced by Jesus Christ: Love God, Love your neighbor, as you Love yourself.

Practically speaking, human "spirituality" is system of natural and supernatural principles that govern the 3 primary types of human Connections:
1. the invisible, intangible, yet real connection that we have to God
2. the invisible, intangible community connection we have with others (and the world around us)
3. the invisible, intangible connection we have with our physical bodies and personal identity (self)

Christ's "Law of Love" is the key to mastery of these connections. However, the challenge to fulfilling of this "Law of love" is power of the "sin" concept.

The consideration of the "sin" concept provokes the discussion of right and wrong. This discussion is an important endeavor of loving God, neighbor and self.  A healthy discussion should lead to mutual understanding and greater harmony.  Unfortunately, the concept of sin is one that isn't naturally easy or comfortable to address.  The solution is the Christ Concept.  The difficulty is the guilt, shame, offense and the defensiveness that are natural reactions to typical understanding of sin as the indictment of human weakness and frailty.  The Christ Concept offers conviction that can lead to change rather than condemnation that only produces shame and separation.

Through the mindset of the Christ Concept "sin" can be considered, addressed and once this concept is understood and believed sin is overcome to produce a consciousness in harmony with God, "neighbors" and self.  This consciousness lived out produces righteousness, peace and joy as intend in the design of mankind's purpose: Connection.

Overcoming sin (or overcoming evil with good) is such an important human responsibility because of the true power and detriment of sin is its negative impact on the connection that is inherent with human experience.

Think of sin as this: Anything that causes a perceived or real RIGHT to live as if we are not CONNECTED.
