Through the Looking Glass

What precipitates a spiritual journey?


At what point does one look in his or her own heart to find that a real connection with their higher power, their own divinity, is lacking?


Many people experience this in their places of worship, their churches, mosques and synagogues, where it becomes obvious that the business and politics of organized religion have nothing to do with the simple messages of hope, love, and acceptance that are the basic tenants of a true relationship with any supreme being, no matter what you call him, her, or it. Some people just shut down in their disappointment. They become too cynical and too sad to believe in anything.



Other people start listening to their inner voices, start looking at spiritual paths that traditionally have been ridiculed, feared and denounced by the mainstream religions. They come to the realization that there is something very wrong in being taught to fear and being controlled by the very thing that should be bringing them the most joy and peace; their relationship with Spirit.



They start questioning and redefining their relationship their experience of "God"



It is horrible to realize that the human race could be headed to annihilation simply because The Mainstream Religions disagree with every one else's experience of God. They have their own views, their own experiences, and they will not rest until the rest of the world is forced to either adopt another Religion's culture, experience and rules as their own, or be destroyed.

It is also very important to note that each of these religions is Judeo, Christian, and Muslim in tradition and belief and are evolved from one Patriarchal, Nomadic war like sect that roamed the middle east several thousand years ago.



Their experience of their God is that he is male, that he is unforgiving and will destroy any one who does not adhere to the holy tenants set down by him, to a small group of men. He is a God of war, a God of misogyny, a God that will tolerate no other Gods, or forms of worship. It is also important to know that these tenants and traditions were handed down to men, and interpreted by men, for their own agendas. you have only to look at the History of the Popes in the Catholic church to know this is true.

This is their experience of their God, and so they act accordingly.



Now, let me open up your mind a bit to consider something different.



Instead of questioning and redefining your experience of God, think about this...

Whats is God's experience of YOU?

I have always thought that "God" was very much like a Rose, that grew a nose to smell itself.

We are here because we allow "God" to know "God's" self through our actions, decisions and experiences. Since we are fully divine, the perfection of spirit in Human bodies, God can experience Godself fully, through the Universe that it has created, and that we inhabit.

So look at the World around you, and tell yourself what God's experience of Godself is.

It is war, greed, theft, indifference, intolerance, prejudice, famine, disease, and genocide.

This what the world holds up to "God" as a mirror.

We are the co creators of this Universe. "God" gave us that when our individual consciences were splintered off from the great collective IAM so that "God" might fully experience Godself in every way possible.


To make a real change in the world, reflect back to "God" what Gods experience could be...of you at your very best, your finest, your most loving, giving, and prejudice free.

In one of my other posts I suggested that you "be what you seek"

That would be a spirit of integrity, one of honor, of tolerance, and open mindedness. An integrated, fully engaged, reflection of that which we come from and will return to.

Be that person of integrity and honesty, in the light, yes, but more importantly, in the dark, by yourself, when no one is looking.


Would you like the Divine Perfection of the Universe to know itself as a liar, as a cheat, as one who stood by indifferently when the innocent were killed in a war they had nothing to do with?


To know itself as gnat infested death in Africa while on the other side of the world it threw away food, and complained because it didn't have a big screen TV, or the taxes on it's house in the Hamptons were too high?


We who are small, who are tiny humans , living on a minute speck of dust in the corner of a small galaxy, in a very large universe...can't affect much. We cannot stop stars from imploding or exploding, asteroids from bombing other planets, or the destruction of entire solar systems. We can't even control our own space trash.


What we can do is reflect to ourselves, and each other, what the very best experience of "God" should be, who ever , or what ever you believe that God to be.


Bring to God what is the best, and highest behavior that we as humans can be on this planet. Let that be how we define our experience of God.....through our own behaviours, morals and codes of ethics.

Be that which you seek.
