The Guilt Trip

I must be very honest. I am so tired of the favorite trick of religion to try and control people, the guilt trip. Constant effort to is put into communication that the wrathful zapping jealous God will withdraw his love, blessing and covenants if you, His perfect creation do not do as you are told. No organization is necessary or even desirable to have a wonderful spiritual loving relationship with GOD.

Any who use guilt or scare tactics such as "withdrawing the spirit", "blessings of the covenant are withheld" or being "cast into everlasting darkness" are accurately representing God. These are just beliefs grounded in fear and lack of that organization continuance beyond its current membership and mortal leaders.

"Sinners Welcome" on a huge billboard tells you to come and join in the fellowship. But if you take your tithes and go somewhere else or worship God in truth you are a sinner and are condemned.

All of Christianity and Islam use these tactics in their messages to the masses of followers. Yet all monotheistic religions embed their texts, speeches and communication with negative outcomes to those who begin to really have a real relationship with God.

It is taught that God is pure, unconditional love. We, as His Sons and Daughters, come into this world to experience joys. This world has it's variety of trials and tribulations that one must encounter. Sorrow teaches Joy, like salt is bitter compared to sugar. God loves us so much that He wants us to experience, then return and report.

He has never let his embrace go from our souls and hearts. It is us who has turned from Him. Any who would tell you different are pulling and fighting from the true love of God and they are trying to pull you with them into their own outer darkness.

I myself am dealing with these issues and incorrect messages. These threats are empty and without true merit. Any covenant I have made with God has been between He and I and none can render it asunder. It may be true that if you nullify your membership with a church you do not receive those blessing of that organization. In fact often its members will treat you differently because of your withdrawal.

You discontinue your affiliation with Catholicism you lose the blessing that come from being a Catholic. It is true for Mormonism, Lutheranism and the same continues with each religion. This is because these are organizations unto themselves and not from God. No matter what divine authorship or divine authority they claim.
Put simply God does not withdrawal His love or blessings to you, ever.

Watch, Act, Heal

This walk I have been taking down the little path of spirituality often has dropped me off into a emotional void. Trust and love seem to be the first emotions to close up and withdrawal. With a lifetime of being incorrectly educated to be concerned with others opinions and desires, I have created situations of distrust and conditional love. I have done this to spouses, children and other people, creating victims and martyrs alike. I am changing this with the Four Agreements. So this emotional void or abyss that one must traverse to gain a better understanding of the different parts of the heart and mind is very scary and I am so convinced it is full of demons and dragons of hurt and suffering. I understand that I must trust myself, in soul purpose and higher mind purpose, to guide and hold a space of openness, trust and love. To reach for the highest ideal I can access and pay attention thoughts, feelings and intentions I must remain focused, maintaining peak states of Now. Paying atte...

Giving more to my spouse

Currently I am working through several books, self-help, higher consciousness, type books. One is by Steve Pavlina "Personal Development for Smart People" and another Don Miguel Ruiz "The Four Agreements". My goal was to read three books a month that will challenge me to make changes. Of course I still have my other spiritual studies that I am to complete. I am doing okay on this challenge. Recently my lovely spouse has decided to be really challenging too my development and has produced a list of "expectations" she has for a spouse. To say the least, she has been frustrated with me lately. Understandably so. So in return I will be making a list of intentions for her. I am working through the list and making sure that each thing is inspiring, practical, purposeful and yet just challenging enough to not provoking to her free agency, goals and desires. Before I get into finalizing that list I am going to make some of my intentions known to the world, my sp...

Love, Forgiveness, & Gratitude

So many people have thoughts of futility about their lives, it becomes frustrating to actually listen to others peoples conversations. Many are so wrapped up in the rigid patterns of perceived priorities they do not even remember why they are existing; everyday functions are performed on autopilot. Of course having a basic understanding of why we exist and what we are suppose to be accomplishing tend to take many on journeys of the soul. The struggle can be easily overcome for yourself and for everyone else around you if you can utilize these three applications -- love, forgiveness and gratitude. Not to say life will no longer have its challenges; solutions to the insurmountable issues will be much more available if you apply these three aspects. John Lennon's lyrics to the song "Love" says much about the true measure of love that we need to apply in our worldly lives. "Love is knowing we can be" is pure humanity. The love of God is beyond our understanding and ...
