Hello you who pursue the truth as I do,
We face many obstacles in the pursuit of the truth. First ourselves, then our conditioning and
environment. The world is corrupted by it's own pride. Let us embrace this fundamentally. Is "the answer"
your answer? Is the truth your truth or is it just the truth? We are faced on both sides with the New Agers andthe Fundamentalists.
The fundamentalists think they can serve God with pride as Lucifer, the fallen one did. They make
religion proudly political instead of serving it's true humbling nature. Each of them beleive that their God
is the true God and that their faith is the true faith. Of course everyone who believes believes that their
faith is the true faith. Why else would they serve it? Here is the key. Look at all of the real religions of the
world and how they all pursue the same truth, RELIGIOUS DEFEAT OF THE EVIL WITHIN. How is it
that all of the relatives serve the same absolute? Because this is what God and heaven want. Defeat the
evil within with the pearl as the oyster does. All real religions rest on this foundation. God has no pride so
how can he be served by it? Furthermore here is another fundamental truth. Self idolatry is a sin and
God does not commit it. His absolute truth is more important than his own image. Anyone of any religion
who would accuse God of self idolatry commits blasphemy. To say that God serves only his own image
accuses him of hypocrisy. In christianity, the good shepherd gathers from the many folds and makes one
fold with one shepherd and he really likes the good samaritan( those who humbly serve other religions).
As for the New Agers, they seek to be spiritual with out religion or it's sacrifices. Is anything gained
without sacrifice? To be concerned with the spirit is to be concerned with religion and it's absolute truth.
The self is hell, that's why heaven defeats it.

You've got a point, I must make clear that I do not consider myself to be part of any religion, I've got my ideas on spirituality on what's good and what's evil, which are in fact constantly evolving, as a humble student, trying to learn more on how the energy of love works, taking what resonates with logic.
I do not consider myself a catholic, even tho I was educated as one, and I don't consider myself a new ager, as the way I think is an inevitable result of the information out there for my generation, for the way our consciousness has evolved. I don't believe in sacrifices, but I do believe that in order to learn any lesson, an inner struggle must occur, strong enough to change our perception on life and the way we act.
It seems that no one notices that our views on religion, as everything else, is a reflection of ourselves. Things are not just white or black, there are a lot of shades of gray in between, and whether we like it or not we're here to figure out which shade are we, and what we must do about it. It's not about God, it's not about religion, it's not about evil, it's us, it's about the knowledge that by the end of the day we have peace of mind with who we are.
