.......I was outside looking at the sunset, talking to God.(Looking like a psycho to my neighbors) The curiosity of "what I didn't know" was getting to me. I asked God, "Am I wrong that I no longer want to go to church? Am I wrong that the feeling of trying to please you has become overwhelming? Am I wrong for just wanting all the expectations of perfection to stop?"
I heard the calmest, most Morgan Freeman-ish voice that said, "No, your moral code is off and based on the wrong things." I realized God was right. My moral code was based on the Bible which was already shown to me was EDITED by men who did not have the right intentions in their hearts.
That day I heard God and knew it was God because I felt the surge of unconditional love through me.
Sooooooo......I began to research. I saw that the Trinity was placed into Christianity not originally a part of it. I saw that Christmas traditions had NOTHING to do with Jesus. I saw that Christianity was created almost 500 years after Jesus had left Earth. I saw that SUPERMAN was real but the stories about him were not. That's when I realize this simple thing......Jesus did not come to earth to establish a religion. Jesus came here as a Master Teacher to inject UNCONDITIONAL LOVE in this earth. Love. With the rug being swept from beneath me I realize one thing I knew and that was to love! That was to include myself. How did I begin to love myself? By beginning with the word....NO! (That word gets a worst rep than Lindsay Lohan does with directors AND judges!)
A true discipline of Jesus is not about keeping people out of hell. (A place that I no longer think exists...we shall get to that later) A true follower of Jesus is about loving the God within yourself and other people....unconditionally! If this was told to me 5 years ago I would have labeled that person a Cardinal Christian or selfish. Not now. Not after knowing the truth and this simple truth.....
Who we truly are, isn't limited by the body.
We are Spirit. Our bodies are JUST temples. Have you ever seen a temple? The temple is beautiful but the temple wasn't built just for beauty (though being human is beautiful) people build temples to house something SUPER-NATURAL! (I broke the word up so you can see what the word truly means) I am supernatural. I am limitless. There is no spoon.
So I lost faith in my religion. Not that religion is bad. It is an amazing tool to show you to the path of your Spirit. And when I found my Spirit, I named it. When I found my Spirit, I searched for the absolute truth about it. When I found my Spirit, I found who I truly was and my purpose. And I cant and wont go back!
I hear the smile in your voice when you write. It's incredible.
