  I feel like religion is a basic way to access fundamental spiritual principles. To many people, affirmation of personal ideals is important, so religion allows ordinary people to connect with something greater than themselves in a familiar environment surrounded by like minded individuals. On a small scale, churches and temples influence their surrounding communities  in a positive way, essentially promoting love and respect to all. On a larger scale however, religion can be a dangerous force. Whenever a hierarchy of wealth and power is involved in a system, greed and corruption are bound to manifest. Any system that allows for separation, animosity, and entitlement is imperfect and obsolete. It's only a matter of "time" before we as a collective can absolve our petty differences, unite and ascend. The law of In Lak'ech will soon be rediscovered and peace will reign.

  Religions used to piss me off.  I saw them as intentionally manipulating the awakening process. 

   

  Now that I see them from a bigger picture, I see them as perfect!  Many people are not ready to take responsibility for their experience here.  Religions are doing what they need in order to wake people up.

    dear Christy,very true, i just read all the above,religion has been the main cause of war and misery throut the history of the earth,and it is imporatnt to discern between spirituality and religion.jesus did not want a church,such as the roman catholic church,based on his teachings.he wanted us to have a one-to-one relationship with god,in line with the Gnostic teachings.the church hierachy and structure simply gets in the way of our natural spirituality.the Roman Catholic Church,or simply the Roman church,has been responsible for much controol  and misery around the globe.the vatican bank is another subject not talked about very often.it is very powerful and independent. it is never audited and is not accountable to goverment authorities like other banks in italy,so on a footnote,much war is generated from false teachings of evil souls incarnated,the balance of positive and negative of duality on the earth has flourished for many millenia,to learn the balance of both aspects of good and evil,there will always be a 3d reality,as one goes up,and another comes down,the one above,the one below,universal evolution,it is infinite,peace,love,light,eve.

  Our Perceptions are Everything to us.  When we get out of the Little Me or Ego and into the Bigger Me or Higher Self we begin to see the forest - and - the trees.

  Our dumb-downed brains and the two-helix DNA has NOT been serving us very well over the past few thousand years.  With Light Frequency entering our planetary system and a realignment and reconfiguration of the original 12-stand DNA we have a chance to become the Hu-Man we were originally designed to be.

  It is all about The One and not its parts.  Only when we Really See the Bigger Picture will we open our eyes.  Eyes to See and Ears to Hear is a very true statement.  We need to become Co-creators with the Universe and Mother Earth.  Procreation and Destruction is no longer serving the Human Species.  Neither is "man-made constructs" serving us any more.  It is time to Awaken and take back our own Power.  It is Time to realize Who We Truly Are.

  I have pondering on the concept of religion recently, too. How wierd. haha

   

  I suggest religion as a manifestation to exploit the public and a guide for people through artificial wisdom. After visiting some festivals of my own "religion", I came to the sense religion directs us in a path within the 3D density. It offers little along the lines of transforming the mind, and seeking the possibility of ALL IS ONE. (Buddhism is the only religion I know as of yet that focuses on the transformation of the mind). When we enter the 5D density, we may begin to see religion dissolving and something else emerging. Religion will be confusing and mediocre contrary to the power of the mind. Therefore, I have begun to question religion like you and don't really understand why there is one. Hopefully this connects...

   

  later!

  Spirituality is the magnificent simplicity of Plato's dot on the blank sheet that is ALL. The ONE MIND connecting directly with the mind of man. Religion is a beautiful mandala filling that blank page in a premeditated attempt to to obscure Spirit so that the bureaucracy can maintain it's power base. Religion is now no more than another business based on greed, and the lust for power. True union with Source requires no real estate, no dogma and no middlemen.

  Unfortunately they build walls between us, which is perhaps an indication of its unnecessary presence. On the other hand, I've learned that people do these things no matter what their faith, so perhaps it is more about the human condition. When you observe how whacked out some Christians get and then see how whacked out some lightworkers get, you realize that philosophies are merely words or observations that people assign meaning to. The same psychological patterns are found in all belief systems. Like people are prone to take it too far either way. Christians get freaky like we see in audiences of televangelists, arms swaying and all in a daze and lightworkers get freaky in a variety of ways. Some think that to be alive, to be self at all is some kind of shameful abomination, some think their every thought is channeling ascended Jesus. The lesson is to observe where humanity is at, as all become the same thing, just expressed in different ways.
  
  Another huge thing is this. Religion is a programming thought process. Any repeated thought is. When I see people speak of the duality of male and female or this notion that sex is about procreation (things that doesn't exist in my reality) or constantly revert back to the Bible, I realize something. Life s a manifestation of our thoughts... so what else could life be? What if we weren't bogged down with archaic notions, passed down from a time when people thought the earth was flat and regularly punished criminals with execution? A Christian says the Bible meant this, a new ager says the Bible meant that. Who cares? Why is the bible involved?

  Why must we look to text to find a truth that exists inside us all anyway? And again... what else can life be if we stop putting our focus into it and see what else is out there.

  
  Well, we are in for a great blessing, because with internet and media as it is, the exchange of ideas and experiences over the next hundred years, as technology advances exponentially, will bring us to a place where we understand each other and are experienced and educated enough within ourselves to discern truth, without looking outward.
