When one wears a Badge (organized religion) – be it Islam
(Muslim), Hinduism(Hindu), Buddhism(Buddhist), Christianity
(Christian) – one is merely a prisoner- one is bound by so many
tenents/???. It limits one in many ways. It is an unfreeing
experience, one is in bondage.
However, when one is BEING Mohd, Being
Krishna(?), Being Buddha or Being Christ – one is flowing and one
is relating to oneself and vice versa. The first ripple of being
…??? emanates from what one is being. One embodies
(Buddha-consciousness, Christ-consciousness or …
consciousness of being eg Christ or …. one is free and
one is longer bound to ….
Sadly, in today’s organized religion it is more of rituals and
dogmas and doctrines. One is no longer flowing one is merely
trapped. I say trapped cos how can beliefs (inherently binding)
allow one to expereince or partake of another existentially! The
seekers of truth unlearn and discover what comes as it is. Beliefs
are an invention.
Real religion (religiouness) is one who is being loving, being
kind, being grateful and I m sure many of us have across such a
person. He or she has arrived. He/she has not alienated the ’’God’’
within him/herself. Many today are so alienated they go around
searching looking for ’’God’’ (call whatever it may suit u) in a
church , temple, mosque or …
When one cannot find ’’God’’ (the name does not matter) within
him/herself one cannot find it in a church, temple , mosque or …
even in scriptures, sutras or texts.
One is already enlightened, it is awaiting recognition. How can
recognition happen when one is leaning on somehting outside of
one’‘self”’ and hope to be … (enlightened not in the sense of
Buddhism or Christianity or …
This is the predicament of many. It is a squirrel in a cage –
just going around and around. An inward journey is the essence of
being religious. What is true liberates, what is a belief binds!
The former is a discovery (recoginising of ) and the latter an
invention.
All human beings long to be free. I would surmise and dare say that
only love frees and of course it presupposes the one who purports
to love is him/herself free on the inside. Love that is being kind,
love that is being emphathetic.
One can go on n spread one’s ’’worldly’’ riches more and more
and
more, one can spread one’s empire of political domination, another
can (and may) spread one’s religious empire – but it is all the
same! The desire is to manipulate, to dominate more and more
people. Is not this politics behind the cloak of religiosity? One
who understands is conscious has no need for a power trip! Beware
the pious egoism.
PS – Has anyone questioned or even wondered how come there is a
Christian God, A Hindu God or … ? Existence is non-dual. Human mind
is so divided and hence the utter confusion.’ One who is being
religious is godliness – a fragrance of being ….???

As for being in Heaven and Hell – it is a myth! .It is not
geographical and it never was. It is within one and a reflection of
one’s state of being. Being eg, negative, loving, accepting,
grateful, kind or …
Two prisoners were holed up in a cell and one night there was
moonlight outside of the prison. One looked at it and partook of
and deligted in the moon. The other cursed cos all he could see
were the prison bars on the cell’s windows.
Same situation but two existential expereinces!
On what basis do you say heaven and he'll is myth? Jesus certainly
did not teach that. As for the two prisoners, regardless of what
they perceive the moon or how they perceive it to be, the objective
reality is that they are both in a cell. Question for you, are you
caught in bondage to your moralising posts here that does not seem
grounded in any objective truth?
